Article: If you plan on changing the color of the wall beneath the stripes, you should do so before you add the chevron pattern.  Let the base paint dry and cure for at least three days.  Note that if you are satisfied with the color of the walls already and the paint is still in good shape, you can skip this step. At the top of your wall, or at the top of the portion to be painted, use a pencil to mark each peak for your top chevron stripe. The peaks should be spaced apart evenly.  Use a level and yardstick to make sure that the peaks are also in an even horizontal line. Otherwise, you could end up with a chevron stripe that slopes downward. Chevron stripes consist of peaks and valleys. The pattern should be even, so in order to accomplish this, the distance between the peaks should be the same as the distance between the valleys. Note that a larger gap in between peaks will result in a wider set pattern while smaller gaps will create a tighter pattern. Use a pencil to mark the peaks of the second row beneath the peaks of the first. The vertical distance between peaks should be exactly the same as the horizontal distance, and the new peaks should be vertically even with the previous peaks.  Repeat for the remaining rows. Use a yardstick and level to keep the peaks even both horizontally and vertically. Use a pencil to lightly mark the valleys of each chevron stripe. With the exception of the top row, each row of peaks should coincide with a row of valleys. The valley points should be spaced evenly in between each pair of peak points.  All the valleys should be vertically aligned with one another. Use a yardstick and a level to keep the points even. Note that you will also need a final row of valley points below the final row of peak points. Lay small strips of painters tape to create the outline of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape peak to valley, valley to peak, peak to valley, valley to peak, and so on, until all the dots are connected.  When done, you should see the shape of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape so that it falls out the outside of the stripes, rather than on the inside. Do not worry if the interval stripe appears smaller than the rest. This is only an optical illusion. Make sure that the tape is securely and completely adhered to the wall to prevent possible bleeding underneath it. While you can technically paint your chevron stripes directly from this point on, it can be a good idea to do a bit of preliminary work with the paint before diving straight into the final product.  Dab a little paint into the stripes using your roller. Use the paint color that will go inside each row as you dab it on. This will help you stay on track. Use a paint roller or paintbrush to seal the edges of the tape in place with your base coat color. Let dry before you paint. Use a paint roller to carefully paint inside the outlined chevron stripes. Let dry completely. Work from top to bottom to avoid smudging and smearing. Once dry, carefully peel the painters tape off the wall. Your chevron pattern should now be complete. You must wait until the paint is dry before removing the tape. Otherwise, you could end up smearing the paint into another area.

Snapbacks can be worn to support sports teams, as fashion statements, or to represent a certain brand (like Vans). Whatever look you're going for, make sure you choose a snapback that represents you. Snapbacks have made a comeback due to their appearance in hip hop culture, and because of that they have a certain edginess. This gives you flexibility on what kind of snapback to choose, meaning you don't need to fit in a box when wearing a snapback. If a hat pops out to you, but it's not your typical style, buy it anyways! Snapbacks can help represent individuality, so throw caution to the wind and defy those stereotypical norms. Because snapbacks come in all different colors and styles, it can be challenging to choose a snapback that will fit many outfits. However, the great thing about snapbacks is it's really more about the way you wear them, and not necessarily the color of the snapback that complements your outfit. You may still want to choose a snapback that goes with your general style: if your usual look is more sporty, then choose a snapback with your favorite team, or if you tend to dress edgy or have an urban style, choose a snapback with embellishments or even a fun, bright color. Before you purchase a snapback, you'll want to try it on to make sure it fits your head well, and that you like the way you look in it. Most snapbacks come in a one size fits all, because they have adjustable snaps on the back, but different brands may fit differently on your head, so find a snapback that feels comfortable and fits well. As previously mentioned in going for a specific look, the key to great style with a snapback is wearing an outfit that complements your snapback, or wearing a snapback that complements your outfit. These are some tips, but know that there is always flexibility in your style:  For guys and girls, snapbacks can be worn with casual clothes. Whether you are wearing a t-shirt and jeans, a sports jersey, flannel, or a stylish jacket, a snapback can be paired with may different outfits to help the outfit come together. For a more urban look, you might consider wearing a graphic tee and a snapback that has a logo on it. Try color coordinating but not too much. Your outfit can really come together if you have a hat that goes well with the colors in your outfit, but you don't want to be too matchy-matchy. Use a bright colored hat to compliment neutral colors in your outfit, or wear a hat that matches the color of your jewelry, shoes, or another accessory. Never wear all of the same color, and try to match your hat with the style of your outfit: you probably don't want to wear an embellished, super colorful hat while wearing a t-shirt for your favorite sports team. Play up different hairstyles. For a girl there are a lot of different options for snapbacks, like wearing your hair down, throwing it in a pony tail and looping it through the back of your snapback, or wearing it in a braid. For a guy with short hair there obviously aren't many options, but a guy with long hair can wear his hair down, or throw it in a bun (which is a popular style today for longer hair) or in a ponytail. Wear a great pair of sneakers. Stylish sneakers really go well with any snapback, so choose a colorful pair or a subdued pair, and wear them frequently with your snapback. Closed toe shoes look the best with snapback hats, so you might avoid wearing sandals or open toed heels -- it doesn't really produce the same look.
