Man Fashion: 5 Simple Ways to Choose the Right T-Shirts

It’s mens fashion T-shirt time again, but before you dash out and buy any of mens fashion T-shits, consider what to look for in choosing them. They are very versatile and durable if you choose wisely, and it is better to pay a little more so that the T-shirts you buy will last the whole season at least.

1. First of all, check that the color suits you, or if you are buying for a man, then think about the colors that suit him rather than the ones you like. If he has auburn hair, he might not look good in a flame red T-shirt, for example. 
2. You should also consider the color from the point of view of its color fast properties. Do a small test by wetting a finger and rubbing it on the T-shirt. If the color comes off onto your finger, it will lose its color rapidly and will always have to be washed separately by hand. If it accidentally gets into the washing machine then you will have a minor disaster on your hands. You could not test this if you buy from online store, but you can rely on reputable brands.
3. Buy colors that reflect the heat rather than those which absorb it, so white is a good choice and pastel shades, beige or pistachio green, not black or dark blue. You don’t want to be any hotter than is necessary. 
4. Check the stitching to see how firm it is. If it looks flimsy, then you will have a repair job to do after wearing and washing the T-shirt a couple of times. 
5. Last and most importantly, is to try it on and raise your arms above your head.

If the T-shirt rides up and leaves a vast expanse of flesh between it and the belt- line, then you need a bigger size. If you have swathes of material bunched around your waist, when you do this, then clearly it’s too big, unless you want a really baggy mens fashion T-shirt.

Of course there are always rugby shirts and tank-tops for men, although the former is usually made from thicker cotton than the T-shirt, and the tank-top doesn’t suit everyone, and it doesn’t protect the vulnerable skin at the top of your arms and shoulders. Mens fashion T-shirts are the better bet as they don’t go out of fashion and are easy to wear.

Top 10 Tips on Proper Business Attire for Men

In my whole working life, being in work or attend business functions, parties or dinners, a proper dressed up is always a plus point than under dressed. In this session, I would like to share the TOP 10 tips on what we should wear in such environment.

• Choose a conservative suit in navy, black or gray either pinstripe or solid. The quality of the material speaks as loudly as the color and can make the difference between sleaze and suave.

• A solid white or blue dress shirt with long sleeves offers the most polished look. The more pattern and color you add, the more the focus is on your clothing, rather than your professionalism.

• Ties should be made of silk or a silk-like fabric. Avoid the cartoon characters and go for simple and subtle if you want to enhance your credibility.

• Socks should be calf-length or above. Make sure they match not only what you are wearing, but also each other. A quick glance in good light before heading out the door can save embarrassment later in the day. Check for holes as well if you'll be going through airport security and removing your shoes.

• Shoes should without question be conservative, clean and well polished. Lace-up shoes are the choice over slip-ons or flip flops. Don't think for a minute that people don't notice shoes. Many people will look at your feet before your face.

• Belts need to match or closely coordinate with your shoes. Once again, quality counts.

• Keep jewelry to a minimum. In a time when men sport gold necklaces, bracelets and earrings, the business professional should limit himself to a conservative watch, a wedding band and maybe his college ring.

• Personal hygiene is part of the success equation. Freshly scrubbed wins out over heavily fragranced any day of the week. Save the after-shave for after hours, but never the shave itself.

• The accessories: briefcase, portfolio and pen. When it comes to sealing the deal, a top of the line suit, a silk tie and a good pair of leather shoes can lose their affect when you pull out the ball point pen you picked up in the hotel meeting room the day before.

• The finishing part of the whole attire, be confident on your self and carry a good looking smile on your face.

Man Fashion: 5 Buy Calls for 2008 Men's Fashion

I am sure some might wondering, what should the trend in 2008 after my earlier post on 7 Men Fashion to avoid in 2008? There are many saying that 70's fashion is coming back, punk fashion should be in high popularity. Well, in my opinion, some of the fashion trends in 2007 might spill over to this year. Here are some of the fashion that will still in high demand.

1. Jeans - In particular eco-friendly jeans. Since Levi's launched their the Levi's(R) 506 Standard Fit Jean for guys and the Levi's(R) 570 Straight Fit Jean for girls in end 2006, this type of eco-trend jeans will continue to dominant the jean's world in 2008.
2. Watch - The classic trend is back, a classic round wristwatch, with hobnail bezel, Roman numerals, and a beautiful porcelain white dial. Patek Philippe Calatrava, a classic of the less-is-more genre, demonstrates, taste is one thing you can't measure with a ruler.
3. Sweater Vest - Call it the revenge of the nerds, but the latest release of GAP V-neck sweaters is making your traditional sweater vest in your closet look a little outdated.
4. Boots - Rocking this ensemble from head to toe, as David Beckham did on a recent Arena magazine cover—may not be for everyone, but chances are there's a pair of bovver boots or suspenders in your future.
   
   
5. iPhone - Don't require further elaboration. Find out the nearest Apple store near you today.

If you think there are other fashion trends that I missed out here, feel free do drop me a line here! :)

Man Fashion: Do You Have a Perfect Fashion Dress Suit?

Every fashion designer and fashion expert will give any men this advice when it comes to what they should have in their closet. They will say that every man needs to own at least one nice fashion dress suit no matter what they do or a living. You never know when you find it necessary to wear your men suit such as a wedding, funeral or a job or job interview that requires business attire. You are always taken a little more seriously if you are wearing a nice men suit.

If you have no idea how to choose men's fashion dress suit. Here are a few general guidelines you can always follow when considering buying a new men fashion dress suit.

• Choose a fabric – You absolutely, positively cannot go wrong with purchasing a worsted wools men fashion dress suit. I’m also talking about gabardines and mid-weight corded wools as well. As you are shopping around the different stores looking for men fashion dress suits, you’re going to come across ones that are labeled “Super 100”. This only means the yarn was twisted more often than the usual 60-80 twist wools but it is considered to be a mid-weight. Look for fabric that springs back after it's squeezed without wrinkling.

• How the pants fit - The waistline of men trousers need to be comfortable. The test to see how well men trousers fit is to stick two fingers into the waist while you're wearing them. If you are able to do this, then they fit properly. As far as pleated pants are concerned, it depends on your body type. If you are a little chubby in the stomach area, then you can get away with wearing pleats since it will help cover it up. If you are thinner, then stay away from them. Pleats will only make you appear skinnier.

• Sleeve length - The sleeve length needs to be exact and the correct length. You’ll end up looking like a bum or someone who borrowed your little brother’s dress suit at the last moment. Neither of those options are a good look. You’ll know the sleeve is too long if it covers your shirt cuff. You want the sleeve to just reach the base of your thumb, revealing a half inch to an inch of your shirt cuff.

• Your pants hem – If you’re looking to make a horrible impression in your men fashion dress suit, then just pay no attention the length of your pants and make sure they aren’t hemmed. Now seriously, they should reach your shoes with a slight break. You can either go with pants that are cuffed or un-cuffed, but cuff-less give the impression you are taller. Pants with cuffs give off the appearance of more maturity.

• Jacket waist - The men fashion dress suit’s jacket needs to fit easily across your stomach in order to appear professional. A traditional American cut fashion dress suit known for its signature two buttons and a mainstay for many years is now being replaced by fitted suit jackets with three and four buttons. Shop around for fitted waistlines that enhance the shape of your body if even you prefer either style, classic or modern.

• Fit of the suit – A good fitting business attire suit should allow you to stretch and bend without any problems and have a free range of movement for your arms. To be sure you have this, bring your arms out straight in front of you. The most important thing to remember is you should always be comfortable no matter what.

Man Fashion: Top 5 Swim Trunks for This Summer

As far as men’s swimwear goes, swim trunks are the most basic sort of swimwear. This does not mean that swim trunks are not great men’s swimwear and in fact, I do see swim trunks are back to trends. This is because men of any age can wear swim trunks, from young boys to old men. Most important, I like swim trunks more than "speedo" because they usually have a lining so that they are very comfortable, less revealing and they are not too terribly long either, so you can still tan your legs.So if you are thinking of getting yourself a new swimwear, let see what I got to offer here.1. Black and WhiteThe most important rule of summer fashion: don't get complicated.And the simplest way to swim is in black and white — checkers, stripes, polka dots, solids, whatever. None of it will get old — one pair should last you five summers.2. Bay Watch RedAlways in style, a shock of red is the ultimate beach color and suits any skin tone. Plus, you'll look like you know what you're doing. Just don't pair it with a lifeguard buoy — that would be overboard.3. Retro NeonAdd a little bit (or a lot) to your swimsuit for an unexpectedly sporty twist on one of the year's hottest fashion trends. Sundek and Quiksilver both make variations that have become iconic surfer-scene staples.4. Walk the BarAfter showering off, throw on sandals and a clean polo on top of these. They're close enough to shorts that you can roll up to the beach club without worrying about judgmental stares.5. Aquatic-ThemedThere are limits to where, when, and how a man can wear animal print.Remember to limit to marine creatures rather than land dwellers.

Men Fashion Style – Timeless Guide for This Summer

Transition from winter to summer is always unique and many people just love it. Many reasons exist generating such preferences and the most important among them is the changing from the heavy cladding woolen garments to something lighter and softer. It can give the user a rare feeling of freedom and at the same time could make a different style statement altogether.

Perfect Casual Look
Important aspect of men’s fashion style that is timeless and appropriate for the summer is developing the perfect casual look. It could be anything from polo, flip flops to the jeans and great belt topped with very cool sunglasses, perfect attire for the warm climate around.

Fashion Changes are Traditional
Fashion is perhaps the most volatile aspect in a person’s life irrespective of the fact whether he is a man or a woman. In fact the trend changes almost twice a year and it could be more. Basic reason of such changes is the change in climatic conditions and environment around. At the same time it also changes with the passage of time. Human nature is to look for changes all the time and it reflects most on their fashion. What was great style in 2010 could be something grossly outdated in 2011.

Summer Coats for Men?
One of the hot fashion items for men is the summer coat. They come in multiple colors and can generate as much elegance in the person concerned as generated by the winter suits. Both in styles and colors there are quite a host of options for the user for buying such blazers and summer coats. Superbly tailored and attractive, they create a great trend for stylish men in summer.

Odd is Charming
Fashion trends are never the best without a touch of odds in it. That could be a shirt shorter than usual, a coat with loose shoulders or any such thing. It could even be made odd by an exceptional color combination. Loose T-shirts and such other apparels different from the stylish traditional make exceptional items with touch of odds in them. Of course, you got to make sure all these match to your personality.

Other Men Fashion Guides for Summer
Some of the most popular summer fashion items for men are the Lacoste Polo Shirts and almost every designer has some variation of it from plain to the striped shirts. Other popular items are loose cotton belts such as Levi's Cotton Web Belt replacing the rugged ones used in winter. Topping them all is the premium denim jeans for men, as good in summer as in any other season.

Man Fashion Tips: Buying clothes for your plus size girlfriend

If you guys are thinking of getting your ladies great plus size fashion this Christmas, but don’t know where to start, then don’t worry because help is at hand. Here’s your guide to keeping it simple this festive season.

Size is everything!
First things first, you need to know her size before you take to the shops. Some women have one size for the top and another for the bottom, so subtly try asking her for these. There’s no point going to the store without her measurements and there’s nothing worse than coming back with an outfit too small, or heaven forbid, too big!

Keep them figure-hugging and curvalious!
If you’re thinking of buying your Missus a dress this winter or one of those funky, in-trend Christmas jumpers, then make sure you keep her fabulous curves in mind. Buy a dress that nips in at the waist and why not go that bit further and get a glamorous belt –she’ll love you for being thoughtful.

One thing that every girl loves!
Shoes! A safe bet, no matter what her size or shape. If you buy her a pair of shiny sparkly heels, then you can’t wrong. Note, this doesn’t include slippers!
