HIS FASHION STYLE

Usher Raymond is not only confident on stage, he is also confident off stage with a personal style that is always current and forward thinking. There are individuals who constantly follow trends but there are certain individuals who are trend starters themselves. Usher is a trendsetter and has been from the very beginning. He acts as a style role model to both his fans, and to other artists. Usher is all about looking fresh. His causal looks are so stylish and streamline. The first tip to take on board if you want to model yourself on usher is to get a haircut. The singer’s image is centred on a clean cut with a sharp shape up.
Usher loves to get dressed up but some of his more formal looks often feature a twist. Usher is not afraid to team a smart blazer with a tee shirt and a pocket square handkerchief, finishing
the look off with smart trainers or military boots.  Mr Raymond is a lover of stylish hats so he often sports fashionable trilby hats when he wants to add something to his overall look.[INHALE FASHION].

Conclusively, usher’s style is cool and nice. He is a perfect example of a man in his early 30s who is still young at heart but also knows how to dress for his age.  Usher keeps himself in shape and that is also important to his style. Every man over the age of 30 should understand that if he treats his  his body well then it will equally  treat him well .

God, Church, Dressing and His presence(Dress the way you want to be address)

Our outward appearance is a visible and silent testimony of our Christian values. Some people dress and adorn their bodies with costly clothes and jewelry to please themselves. They want to be admired for their wealth, power, or social status. Some dress in accordance with certain fashions to please others. They want to be accepted by their peers by dressing like them. The Christian, however, dresses to glorify God. Clothes are important for Christians because they serve as a frame to reveal the picture of the One whom the Christian serves. "In no better way," wrote Ellen White, "can you let your light shine to others than in your simplicity of dress and deportment. You may show to all that, in comparison with eternal things, you place a proper estimate upon the things of this life."


In both the Old and New Testaments we have found a consistent pattern of the use of colorful cosmetics, glittering jewelry, and eye-catching clothes to accomplish seductive purposes. Such a pattern implicitly reveals God’s condemnation of their use. What is taught implicitly through negative examples is reiterated positively by the two great apostles, Paul and Peter, in their condemnation of the use of jewelry and luxurious clothes.


Some experiences in the bible teaches us that wearing ornamental jewelry contributes to rebellion against God by fostering self-glorification, and that removing it facilitates reconciliation with God by encouraging a humble attitude. Thus it is important for us to remember that to experience spiritual renewal and reformation, we need to remove from our hearts the idols we cherish, whether they be jewelry, cosmetics, immodest clothes, professional goals, cars, or homes, and replace them with devotion to God.

We can violate the Christian dress code of modesty by neglecting personal appearance as well as by giving excessive attention to it. "Dress neatly and becomingly," Ellen White counseled, "but do not make yourself the subject of remarks either by being overdressed or by dressing in a lax, untidy manner. Act as though you knew that the eye of heaven is upon you, and you are living under the approbation or disapprobation of God."  To dress modestly and decently implies that clothing must provide sufficient covering for the body so that others are not embarrassed or tempted. This principle is especially relevant today when modern dress fashions reject modesty and decency as the basis for constructive human relationships. The concern of the modern fashion industry is to sell clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics by exploiting the powerful sex drives of the human body, even if it means marketing immodest products that only feed pride and sensuality.  

Generally, God calls us to dress modestly and decently, not only to prevent sin, but also to preserve intimacy. People who want to sin will sin no matter how modestly dressed the people they see are. The purpose of modesty is not only to prevent lustful desires, but also to preserve something which is very fragile and yet fundamental to the survival of a marital relationship: the ability to maintain a deep, intimate relationship with one’s spouse. If marriage is going to last a lifetime, as God intended it to, then husband and wife must work together to preserve, protect, and nurture the intimacy. When all is said and done modesty will preserve the joy of intimacy long after the ringing of the wedding bells.




Conclusively, be you a christain or a muslim our outward appearance is a constant silent witness of what God represents in our life . May it always tell the world that we live to glorify God and not ourselves.......
