Traveling to Athens, Greece

I have some sad news and some very exciting news.

Ruth and I are traveling to Greece and will be spending a few days acclimating ourselves to our new surrounding and in general just going through the motions of traveling. This week will see for the first time in over 150 Daily Fashions, a stop in sharing.

I encourage you to look back through the Daily Fashion and review your favorites up to this point. The more feedback on the stories we share the more in depth they will become.

The good news is that the following week there will be a Daily Fashion blitz! Normally we share 5 featured fashion stories each week but from the 28th of April to the 2nd of May there will be no less than 10 new Daily Fashion Features. It will be a rollercoaster of excitement and hard-work.

Thank you all for your time and for sharing the stories you read here at the Daily Fashion.
Cheers,
Matthew Miller

Going To 'J.Crew U' Was Certainly A Culture Shock

'My style is inspired by my encounters over the years. I really started to become more detailed in what I wore my senior year of high school rising to my freshman year in college (I attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio otherwise known as J. Crew U). I was raised in an urban environment and going to Miami was certainly a culture shock. I learned to embrace the preppy lifestyle and put my own personal spin to it. I began digging into numerous blogs and sites for inspiration until I saw what I liked, disliked, and could pull off. Style is an ongoing process that is forever changing or being enhanced which may explain my fascination with it.

I may not be the best looking man in the room but you can damn sure bet I will be one of the best dressed.'

I Make My Own Velvour Jackets And Tops, I Love Waistcoats And Am A Massive Fan Of Bright Vintage Ties

'My style is pretty unique I'd say. I love 'mixing and matching' and adding a bit of Middle- Eastern fashion into what I wear. I love lapel pins and shoes. I make my own Velvour jackets and tops, I love waistcoats and am a massive fan of bright vintage ties. I went through a phase after my weightloss experience. Before that, fashion meant nothing to me. Having to find X large tops and sweatpants was not exciting. Having weighed over 15 stones, I was frightened to even think about trying on a pair of jeans let alone anything else. The thought of wearing a bright yellow shirt scared me.

Things have changed now. I now own several pairs of jeans, every colour- you name it! :)   I'm just an average 20 year old student who dresses to express not impress. I often wear waistcoats that I make myself or Tshirts I advertise and sell on my site/twitter page TeeAmouage. In all honesty there's one man I believe inspired me and still does with his daily outstanding updates on mens fashion. Many must know him (insta- That_dapper_chap). My "Passion for Fashion" grew when I was asked at a party full of over 300 guests, where I got my shirt from. As strange as it sounds it was exciting/scary that someone would actually take notice!

So I left this lovely gentleman my email address and ended up making him the exact
same 'sheer black silk' shirt! This for a student my age is VERY exciting! So I got into it, every half term I sat at my Nan's making T-shirts and waistcoats, often using materials I've purchased from Dubai. I'm one of those people who was afraid to buy shirts other 'slim' boys would, because I was large. I was petrified of getting noticed, no matter what I wore. So I often design and made T-shirts only Large and Xlarge and it's been my 'target market' as it's something I could personally relate to.

I use lace, leather and animal print materials and suede too. I believe everyone should be comfortable with who they are and show it in what they wear and be PROUD and not frightened of what others would say/think. I believe wearing a little bit of colour, be it a red tie or a bright yellow bracelet. Make it 'you', make it fun, bright, colourful, and give people a reason to be inspired and want to try what you're wearing.'
