While there is definitely such a thing as the 'sports casual' look, this isn't how most people go about trying to achieve it. Sports casual usually involves a smart pair of jeans, a casual jacket, and maybe a polo neck. This guy has gone for a totally different approach, and we're not sure it's one we'd ever try out ourselves. He seems to love it, though, and so our hat's off to him. Perhaps he could use it to cover up that headband.
It's the sensible shirt which really sets this look off for us. If everything he was wearing was crazy, we could just write him off as one of the many people with a crazy dress sense you'll find in any given Walmart on any given day. The shirt suggests a degree of dignity, though, which is totally at odds with the jean shorts and that tennis headgear. Tucking the shirt into the waistband of the shorts is the coup de gras.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
