Wrist Watches For Men - Casual Or Dress

Wrist watches for men are a popular jewelry accessory. Watches come in all sorts of styles and a wide variety of prices. Choose the proper wristwatch to say to the world that your time is an important commodity.

In choosing a wristwatch, you will need to know if you prefer an analog watch or a digital. An additional choice is the combination analog/digital watch.

Digital watches are very precise. They do not need to be adjusted. They are very precise down to the second. In addition, by pressing the right combination of buttons, you can view the time in military or traditional settings. Press a few more buttons and you have a stopwatch.

While digital watches are fine for most settings, nothing sets apart a professional than a quality analog watch. Analog watch quality is measured by jewels.

Most dress watches are analog watches. They generally have a leather band and are very thin. Dress watches are designed to fit under the sleeve of a jacket. They should not have a bezel that turns or has markings as this could keep the watch from slipping under the sleeve.

Casual watches are made for everyday wear. A metal band is a better choice for this watch, since it will be worn in many kinds of environments. The metal is more resistant to perspiration than leather.

Sport watches are more rugged than dress or casual watches. They are generally larger in size. Most are shock resistant and waterproof. These watches often have a bezel that rotates.

If you have decided to buy a high quality watch, then you should visit a jeweler. These expensive watches should not be bought sight unseen. In addition, many watch manufacturers forbid the sale of their product on the internet. They are so determined to stop the practice that many void the warranty of any watch sold through the internet. You should also remember that there are many fakes available. The fake watch may be beautiful to look at, but have the inside workings of a twenty dollar watch. You do not want to spend thousands of dollars to get a replica watch.

So if you are buying a watch and want inexpensive accuracy, buy a quartz digital watch. They are not only cheap, but accurate. If you have any difficulty, just throw it away and buy another. If you are buying at the other end of the spectra, choose your watches for men from a reputable dealer.

How To Tell If He's Gay

There are stereotypes circulating about every walk of life. We all know that it is wrong to generalize, and that there are always 'exceptions' to what is widely believed about a particular group. Stereotypes are simply exaggerations and broad generalizations of looks or behavior of groups. It is said that there is certainly an element of truth behind the ideas that we would consider to be stereotypes. When it comes to homosexuality, do many of them actually fit the stereotype, or are there only a small few who fit the mold?

Can you tell if a man is gay by looking at him? Some people say that you can. There is a certain way that a man stands, sits, walks and dresses that is typically considered 'gay.' Commonly, it is the flexed hand, feminine twitch in the walk, and a feminine lean (with the hip sticking out to one side) when they stand. It has also been said that there is a particular look within a gay man's eyes that tells you he is homosexual. This look in the eyes is something that is very difficult to actually describe, and only some people can actually see this 'gay' look in a man's eyes.

Can you tell if a man is gay by his interests? Some people think that it's possible. An interest in hair, make-up, and fashion are often considered as feminine or 'gay' characteristics. There are many confirmations of gay men in these professions however, not all men in these professions are gay. Some gay men have 'normal' manly jobs. Men who are concerned with their appearance and do certain things, like wax or keep their nails nice, may be a straight metro-sexual.

How can you tell the different between a metro-sexual and a gay man? There is no real obvious or explainable indicator of this. A man who spends more time and money on his appearance than the average male is not always gay. Perhaps you can look in their eyes to see if you can find 'the look.' If they don't walk or stand in a feminine way, then how can you really tell that they are gay?

Is it possible to tell that a man is gay by the sound of his voice? Many people might say so. The truth is that many gay men do have softer, higher pitched, more feminine voices. Of course, there are muscular, very masculine men with deep voices that are gay.

Is there really any way to tell? I suppose it depends on that person. If they are trying to make a point about their sexual orientation, it will be obvious. If they are not, it will probably be more difficult to tell. There are signals within the gay community that help gay men find each other. Perhaps it takes one to know one. Otherwise, some straight people have a sort of sixth sense when it comes to spotting someone gay. I would say, when in doubt, ask, but you never know how they will react.

How to Dress - Part 2

In part one of this article we were trying to show why clothes are important, for example, for our business position or functioning in the society. We have also told what does it mean to be elegant and how we can manage that. In this part we would like to tell something about dress codes and matching clothes and occasions.

Our clothes should always match our appearance in general - figure, age, and of course the occasion. For example clothes that we wear while being at the weekend trip are usually totally different than the one that we wear in the office or at official party. The way we look also depends on the weather, time of day or time of year. That's why we have different types of dress codes.

What types of dress codes do we have? We can talk about three types of dress codes: business wear (called also informal wear), formal wear and semi-formal wear.

Mostly business wear means dress that we wear till 8 pm, and for a man it means wearing a regular suit and for a woman a short dress. Sometimes informal wear is divided into three subcategories: business dress (classic business wear), business casual (a comfort that goes with elegance which is important for a good image of company; not the kind of clothes that we wear on the evening meeting but we can wear it on business journey; most important characters of this type of code is that man don't have to wear ties but they can't be seen in jeans), casual dress which means that we can wear jeans at company picnic.

Formal wear is this type of clothing that we wear to evening meetings and parties. It can be worn only to big events like weddings or usually after 8 pm. Formal wear for man is usually frock coat or tuxedo. Those garments are worn usually in the evenings. When we are going on the early wedding we can dress into so called swallow (type of jacket). When it comes to woman she can wear all types of dresses (usually not to short). But if her companion wears frock coat she should wear long dresses.

Semi-formal wear is something between informal and formal dress. Semi-formal for man is dark suit with white shirt and not too sparkly tie, for woman a short dress that can be replaced by the tailor-made dress. Semi-formal tailor-made dress differs from the one that is worn in a day - it's a little bit more delicate and made of lighter material with more intense color.

This is the end of part two of this article which showed in shortcut what types of dress codes do we have. In third part we will tell something about accessories and most common mistakes that we make while dressing formal wear and not only.

Dress Etiquette: What to Wear

People like to dress appropriately for an event, be it a dinner out with friends or an important wedding. But host and hostesses should be clear when issuing invitations what the desired dress is. I've received many ambiguous related invitations over the years and wanted to help others dicipher the vague dress-requests they might receive.

-If you're not sure how to dress, over dress for an event. Many people interrupt dressing for an event. You'll feel less obvious if you over -dress.

-Formal. Black tie (tuxedo) for men, floor length gowns for women.

-Black tie preferred, optional or invited. Tuxedo is the preferred choice for men, if the man does wear a tux then the women should be in a formal floor length gown. However if the man does not wear a tux, he will wear a dark suit, white shirt and conservative tie. A women in this case will wear a short dinner gown or an evening suit, a skirt with matching jacket.

-Dressy casual. Dress pants with matching jackets but no tie for men and dresses or dark pantsuits for women.

-Business casual. Pressed dress pants or khaki twills with a collared shirt, but no tie. Never wear jeans to a business casual event. Socks and belts required for men. Women can wear pants or skirts with hose and a collared shirt. No flip-flops.

-Casual. Typically anything goes, but if you have never been with the host or hostess and it says casual, it's better to over-dress until you have a better understanding of how they define casual.

Men's Dress Shirts - Shirt Style Details (Collars, Cuffs, Pockets, Etc)

Over the past half-century, the dress shirt has gone from being an undergarment to holding a prominent place in many outfits. This is one reason why it is today available in so many styles, colors, and patterns. Whether one's style is chinos or suit-and-tie, shirts are an essential means of expanding one's wardrobe.

A shirt's style signals quite a bit about the wearer's intentions. A dress shirt with a button-down collar, left breast pocket, plain front, and single-button cuffs signals leisure while a dress shirt with a turned-down point collar, no breast pocket, placket front, and French cuffs signals formality. The beauty of adjusting a shirt's style is that you can design it for not only for the occasion but also to compliment your unique features.

Shirt Collars

The men's dress shirt collar is the most important style detail, both in determining the garment's level of formality and in how it flatters the wearer's face. Button-down collars are the least formal and extremely versatile; they look great without a tie but can just as well support a tie and sweater, blazer, or sport coat combination. The wing collar, on the other hand, is reserved for formal wear and should always be worn with its companion parts. It is the least versatile collar, whose sole purpose is to signal the highest level of dress.

Most men's dress shirts sport some sort of pointed collar, but there is huge room for variety here. While the standard point collar looks good on most men, those with narrower faces do better with slightly shorter ones, while round faces carry well above long collar points. As a general rule, the greater the angle between the short sides of the collar points, the more formal the presentation. Spread collars, which leave a wide opening between them, take large tie knots especially well. The edges of the cut-away collar nearly form a straight line above the tie knot; this is the most formal collar arrangement. An exception to the parallelism of spread and formality is the tab collar: here little tabs of fabric extending from each side connect behind the tie knot, holding the collar close together and projecting the knot outward for a precise, no-nonsense look. The white contrast collar, in any style, with or without matching white French cuffs, is a favorite of power-dressers. While it certainly raises a suit-and-tie above the masses, let the wearer be warned against it if he cannot equal its eminence.

On most decent dress shirts, the collar's points are kept straight by collar stays. These 2- to 3-inch pointed splints are inserted into slots on the underside of the collar after ironing, and later removed for washing. Besides the plastic ones that come with most shirts, you can buy them in brass, silver, and even ivory, but their material has negligible effect on their function.

Shirt Cuffs

Barrel cuffs, standard on most dress shirts, come in a variety of styles and except for the most formal of occasions are never a bad choice. The common variety has a single button; cuffs with two or even three buttons are somewhat more artful. French cuffs are de rigeur for formal wear; they look good with a suit but are always optional. A button in the sleeve placket helps the sleeve to stay closed during wear and can be opened to iron the cuffs; it is optional but nearly ubiquitous.

Shirt Pockets

The traditional left breast pocket adds a little depth to a dress shirt, especially if worn without jacket and tie, and can be useful for holding pens, tickets, and the like. A shirt with no pockets can look slightly cleaner with a coat and tie, but since the coat covers the pocket the difference is minimal when wearing a suit. As with most things, simplicity equals formality, so the pocket-less shirt is the dressiest.

Shirt Front & The Placket

The standard placket is a strip of fabric raised off the men's dress shirt front with stitches down each side; this is what most casual shirts and many dress shirts have. In the more modern French placket, the edge of the shirt front is folded over, creased, and held together only by the button holes. This cleaner front sharpens more formal dress shirts; it should not, however, be combined with a button-down collar. There are also hidden button plackets, and as the name suggests hide the front buttons under a sheath of fabric.

Shirt Back

Men's backs are not flat; thus we use pleats on the back panel of a shirt so that the fabric may hang from the yoke (the piece covering the shoulder blades) and better conform to the body. There are two common varieties of pleated shirt back styles: the box pleat consists of two pleats spaced one-and-a-half inches apart at the center, while side pleats lie halfway between each edge and the center of the back. While the former are more common on ready-to-wear shirts, the latter better align with the actual shape of the back, and thus fit most men better. A well-made custom shirt can be cut and sewn to fit its wearer perfectly without pleats, and this makes it cleaner and easier to iron. Nonetheless, many men prefer to have pleats even on their bespoke dress shirts.

Monograms

A man may elect to have his shirt monogrammed, usually on the edge of the breast pocket or on the shirt's cuff. Monogramming originated as a way to identify one's shirts in a commercial laundry, akin to writing a child's name on the tag of their jacket. More recently, as the shirt has taken a more prominent role in men's dress, the monogram has emerged as a way to subtly communicate the care a man has taken in obtaining his clothes. While large, garish monograms certainly do more harm than good, many men enjoy the quiet display of their initials, usually in a color similar to the shirt's own.

Homecoming Dresses

There comes a time in every woman's life when she is declared as the homecoming queen - the most beautiful and most desirable woman, not to mention most popular compared to all other women present. She possesses that rare quality of having beauty, brains, and personality. The spotlight focuses on the homecoming queen once her name is announced. Of course, no woman would want to be caught dead wearing an ill-fitting dress for that special occasion.

The dreamiest of all dresses, the homecoming dress, stands out with its fitted bodice and full skirt that flows from the waist to the ankle and, more often than not, reaches to the floor. This dress can hide your body flaws and slims down a pear shaped body by drawing attention to the breasts. Gowns with a dropped waist or a Basque waist give the illusion of a slimmer shape. You may opt for a gown with a corseted bodice or lace-up back for that glamorous look.

The act of buying that homecoming dress for that once in a lifetime event should not be treated lightly. Of course, you want that dress to fit perfectly so you can show off your nice curves and feel confident and comfortable at the same time. Having the perfect gown means getting your measurements right. Just because you wear a size 24 jeans does not mean that you could easily fit into a size 24 dress. Evening wear has a different cut. You could opt for a smaller or a bigger size.

It is important to measure correctly prior to ordering online or buying from a store. First, measure around the body by putting the tape measure under your arms. Place the tape measure around the fullest part of the chest while keeping the arms relaxed.

Second, measure the waist by following the natural waistline. Place your finger between the tape and the body for a comfortable fit. Third, measure the hips by measuring the fullest part of the body. For petite women, measure about seven inches from the waistline. For those women with average height, the correct hip measurement is done eight inches below the waistline.

So start shopping around for that perfect homecoming dress. Who knows, you might just be the next homecoming queen.

How to Dress Classy With Little Cash

1. Basics for Work- Keep good basics in your wardrobe that are truly timeless and will last the test of time and fashion trends. Key basics include black dress pants. Have about 3 good quality pairs. You will want at least one pair to have a pin stripe which will give your body some length and add variety, as well as one pair with a cuff on the bottom, and one without. All pairs should have a crease running down the leg for that dressy look. Avoid anything with pleats which is currently outdated and tends to make you appear larger in the frontal area anyhow. DO invest in good quality, but inexpensive tops such as short sleeved and ¾ length tops with Lycra (to keep their shape) in both v-neck and round neck styles. I recommend black, white and red, if you cannot wear red, perhaps gray. These are key for under blazers with pants and can also be worn with jeans on a casual Friday.

You will want 2 or 3 nice black skirts, a pencil skirt, or slight A-line, printed skirt and one that is more airy and fun. Dress shirts for women are more popular than ever. You will want to have some variety here. I recommend buying shirts that fit your shoulders and arm length properly and have a bit of Lycra or stretch fabric so you can move freely. These can be bought anywhere such as Winners, Ross for Less or department stores. Keep winter and summer colors. Important to any business wardrobe is the suit. You will need a black, navy and lighter color suit such as camel for summer. You can wear your blazer with your skirts too, no need to buy a skirt suit. When buying shoes keep the same in mind, find at least 3 comfortable pairs of shoes, perhaps a pair of flats, and 2 pairs of heels, one lower and the other a higher pump style. I don't believe in having all the colors of the rainbow on my shoe rack, especially when on a budget. Black and brown always work, throw in a pair of camel color for fun. The overall idea here is to have classic pieces that won't go out of style the last for years as to not constantly be buying clothes. I firmly believe in investing in these basic pieces so they'll last a long time. Look for sales, clearances and wander through thrift stores to find what you need to build your basic wardrobe.

2. Make Accessories Work for You- Whether they are shoes, sunglasses, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, scarves, handbags or hairclips, find the ones that you love best and buy many at low cost shops. The key is to dress up a wardrobe many different ways without blowing your budget on pumps and expensive handbags. The best thing to do is buy all sorts of accessories for as little as you can. These keep your wardrobe interesting by adding color, texture, shape, and bling! A couple shops I love for this are Le Chateau, H&M and mall kiosks. I find the best inexpensive jewelry, trendy shoes and hair clips. Buy a bright orange or red handbag from Payless Shoe store for $20 and pump up your black suit for work, or jeans and a t-shirt. Hollywood stars use the same tricks just on a different budget.

The best tip is to wear a great outfit with one or two accessories maximum that pop! My mother used to dress extremely well because she picked out accessories and clothing that looked great but cost next to nothing. This is because she looked in stores like K-Mart as she couldn't afford designer or even mall store prices. Put on a Blazer and jeans with a pair of cute flats and have one significant piece like a great necklace to really make your neckline pop. When hair is done up, this is the best time to show off shoulders and your neckline, so draw attention with some great earrings and necklace. Even a funky watch can jazz up an otherwise low-key outfit.

3. A Scarf Is Your Best friend- Scarves have so many uses that it is hard not to have any in your wardrobe. Scarves can act as a tie around your hair in a ponytail, tied around your neck, used as a belt around your waist or simply ties to the shoulder strap of your handbag for a flirty look. It is good to have variety. Black and Red are my favorites however I have some softer colors such as pale pink and beige with light brown in full stripes, polka-dots are very in right now also. The scarf belt goes great with a sexy top and pair of jeans. When you are bored with the pattern or color switch them up with your friend's for variety.

4. Focus on your Face- Even if you don't feel like your wardrobe looks like a million bucks, put on a smile. It goes a long way and brightens your face! A little makeup really makes a difference. The 3 essentials I would recommend are Mascara, Lipstick (or a great gloss) and some blush. This will add color to your face and make your features pop. I have never bought into the notion that Designer expensive makeup is best. I've used Cover girl my whole life and have always had compliments. Their products are ¼ the price of department store and I can buy them anywhere. The key is to keep the makeup simple and light. Don't wear heavy foundation and loose powers with bright lipstick and heavy eyeliner. The key is to look natural and elegant with the right light shade of blush and lipstick and a black/brown or black shade of mascara. Spend less money on makeup but spend more time on mastering a natural look that is even.

5. Buy Quality Shoes that Last -Always buy quality shoes that can last you 2-3%2B years. Ensure that they are a simple color and style, but more importantly that they have a good sole and heel lifts. Shoes aren't made the way they used to be. I find myself having to replace my lifts on most of my shoes since they are plastic. They wear down quickly causing potential accidents as you glide across floors in those heels. The shoe repair shop will put great quality lifts on and it is inexpensive. Replace these every year or as needed with wear so that the heels of your shoes stay looking new. In addition, shine your shoes regularly and buy scuff removing solution. A great pair of shoes can look like trash when they have not been taken care of.

If you really do crave something trendy then let it be for a particular outfit, or dress where the shoes will not be frequently worn. Why not get the knock-off style at Payless Shoe store or another discount shoe store? Then you'll get the style and price you want and don't have to worry so much about the durability.

6. No Tattered Undergarments! -Many women focus on their outer wardrobe and forget what is hiding underneath. It is important to frequently wash your bras as well as camisoles etc on delicate cycle. It is very unappealing to see a well dressed woman with a tattered, dirty bra strap peeking out of her top. Likewise, underwear and socks need to be replaced when stained or tattered having holes or elastic coming apart. This is not sexy for your partner or for yourself! I typically buy a bunch of inexpensive clearance rack panties that look like designer knock-offs with all the lacy styles. I usually pay around $2-$5 per pair and they look great! If they get ruined in my washing machine or wear with time I can just toss them without thinking twice. While we are on the subject, ladies do buy bras that fit your cup properly and are seamless. There is nothing worse than a great blouse with seam lines or nipples showing!

7. Accessorize but don't overdo it-Classy women look classy because they don't overdo it. Wearing a great dress or outfit with a single ring, pair of small earrings and a small necklace is fine. Wearing a suit with a ring on every finger, watch, bracelet, heavy makeup, hair in an elaborate clip, a belt, a scarf around the neck and bright shoes is overkill. Nobody knows what to look at first! When you get ready to leave the house, look into a full length mirror with your entire outfit including a hat or handbag if included. You will often slowly start to strip a couple accessories away or tone down bold shoes and handbags. Remember, simple is best. Add one or two killer pieces that will have you feeling great and getting compliments along the way.

8. Don't be Afraid to Shop in Thrift Stores- I can't tell you how many things I've been able to snag there. The key is to go into an area that is more well-to-do or exclusive. Often people with a lot of money can discard things faster for new items such as great sweaters, blazers, handbags, you name it! My last purchase there was actually a set of hot rollers that retail at $70 that I picked up for $16! I bought an $80 pair of great brown boots that were never worn for $6!! I'll admit, you have to make some time to sift through a lot of duds till you find a few keepers, but it is well worth it. Buy items that have their original bold color, no fading! Make sure there are no holes, or stains. If there is a small area that is inconspicuous, by all means grab the item if you can fix it. You can also find some fun handbags, belts and jewelry.

9. Wear clothes that Fit You!r Body- There is nothing worse than seeing a beautiful woman in skin tight dress pants, breasts hanging out, and the visible appearance of flab around the waist or back due to tight clothing. Looking slimmer is not about wearing more fitted clothing, clothing with breathing room and comfort will not only make you look better but feel better too. Classy women don't let it all hang out! If something in your wardrobe is too small but you love it, keep it until it does fit (maybe use it as motivation) and find something new.

10. You don't Need Brand Names to Look Good- Today with so many great knock-offs and fun styles to choose from, there is no need to spend $450 on a pair of designer sunglasses. I have a $17 pair of Gucci knocks-offs that I bought in the airport, and have got more compliments on those than a real pair of Ralph Lauren shades. Likewise, people see how well your outfit is put together more so than they do what brand you are wearing. I see a lot of wealthy people wearing brand name overkill and they don't look classy, they look tacky. Don't be a walking billboard for a brand name, just be an original and wear what fits you and what you feel good in.

This article was inspired by many women that I have worked with, spent time with, seen walking the streets, and those that have told me that they simply don't have the money to dress well. If my mom in her early thirties could dress classy in K-Mart clothing and get compliments, you can too! You need an objective eye and patience to find what looks great on you. So, give your charge card a break and find out how fun it is to buy a few items with a $20 bill!

Wedding Dresses From Men's Point of View

When it comes to weddings, it is the always the women's point of view that is scored and quartered. Haven't anybody thought about asking men what they would like their brides to wear when it comes to wedding dresses?

What Men Would Like If They Had the Chance

When women shop for their wedding dresses, do they ask the opinion of their grooms? Most would rather surprise their men and anyway choosing the wedding gown is their right. Ask any woman if she would let her man decide what she should wear for the wedding rites and get a baleful glare in return. The wedding dress is the be all and end all and it should be as perfect as the stunning gown in their minds. Why let men ruin their fairytale?

But hear it from men. They love to ogle women in tight fitting pants and micro mini-skirts but when it comes to their women, they are stricter than the Benedictine monks are. So it's not unusual if men would love to have their brides wear wedding dresses that:

* show curves but not much skin
* have moderately low necklines
* have no thigh high slits to distract other men
* are simple with less frills
* traditional in cut and design

But not all men have the same tastes and some men do have some weird ideas of women's fashion especially wedding dresses. The avant-garde will approve a racy wedding gown or something out of the traditional culture.

Men's Point of View

When it comes to women's wardrobes men have a lot to say about the following:

* spandex under dresses
* pointy toed shoes
* leggings worn under dresses
* Uggs
* huge drugstore sunglasses
* short shirts worn over tight pants

What does your man hate about your style? You know by his pleadings not to wear those crazy fashions he cannot understand and those volcanic red lipsticks, Fidel Castro hats, pregnant look, crocs, and hottie shirts that drive him batty. As a compromise, hear what he has to say about your wedding dress but be prepared to argue.

Perhaps your man wants you all covered with a high necked gown and your slender arms sheathed in long white gloves when you want an off-the-shoulder creation. It would excite him to watch you do a special striptease for him during the first night you share as husband and wife - that is if you still have the energy for some blood racing and adrenalin pumping private show.

Maybe he loves your legs and would want the world to know what you got so he will ask you to wear a mini wedding dress even when you want a princess gown. Well, this will have you mourning over the fairy tale wedding dresses you have designed since you were a little girl, but your man has a point here, right?

Would You Agree to His Fantasies?

Crazy as it may seem, women do forego their dream wedding dresses when they like the idea of wearing something out of the ordinary that goes with the wedding theme. If you love him too much, then say goodbye to fairytale wedding dresses if he wants a beach party themed wedding.

Right Dressing Sense for Men

Men want to dress as perfectly as same as the women may want to wear their makeup. A good dressing sense can do wonders with the right kind of fashion, cut and color. One also should be particular about the comfort level despite the fashion, adding confidence which corroborates to a high self image.

There was a time when men thought that it is just plain white and black for them which prevented them from going for patterns even, let alone choose a color. Most old fashioned men spent whole of their lives without realizing that they could have looked striking handsome, if only they would have chosen better dressing.

Each shirt in the wardrobe does not need to be of the same outline, design or color. Each is a different one with a little variation. One can always put a hundreds of permutation and combinations according to the choice, occasion and fashion. The men's dress shirts do not require being of sameness and dulling in outline, fashion, and design. One should keep in mind that designs are dependent of fabrics. Fashions are also about style, collar, placement of buttons and pockets.

Purchasing a branded shirt can limit one's choice to maneuver perhaps it is a style statement all the same. But in tailor made shirts one can play around with one's own expectations and ideas if one is little innovative.

One has to pay attention to the suiting and the pants which have to go with the shirt's design. However, it is more important to have the confidence to carry anything that one wears. With colors, or patterns, and ties maybe one easily come near the sense of self.

Of course one can look smart with a freshly pressed shirt and neatly smothered pants. The casual attitude should be careful of the look that is expected of him which is an acknowledgement of somebody looking at the person.

Light fabrics with well defined seam are considered to be the sign of a person who is soft with a firm approach towards his goal. It is a perfect statement in the business fraternity.

It does not cost anything to be knowledgeable about fashion. It saves one from spending otherwise in building an image which can be instantly done through a fashionable approach.

Choosing colors that do not clash

Many men have the best of intentions when they attempt to dress themselves. Unfortunately, many of them do not have a keen sense of suitable colors. Have you seen the look on the golf course? The pink plaid pants with yellow collared shirt that make your eyes burn. Here is a guide to choose colors that look great together!

Back in kindergarten, boys learned the primary colors-yellow, red, and blue. Those shades then branched out into complimentary mixes that boys loved to create using nothing more than a sloppy mound of paint and their fingers. The problem is that those boys grew up to be men who still could not decipher the colors that suit one another and the colors that look horrible together. Taking the staple fashion colors-black, white, yellow, red, and blue-a woman can usually pick out the colors that work. Sadly, I've seen a pair of bright green tie with a shirt carrying red stripes. Short of during the Christmas season, those colors are not meant to be worn together!

Men know the color combinations-red and blue make purple. Though the colors can be blended, not all colors should be matched in an outfit. A purple shirt with a red tie looks like something straight out off a clown. In any fashionable outfit, men should start with a base color, something neutral like pale beige or gray. Pair a beige shirt with a blue tie would compliment you being handsome.

Because extreme contrasts catch the eye, it is best to avoid pairing a dark shirt with light colored tie. Too many intense shades can cause the eye to ache. If you are out on the town trying to capture a woman's attention, a black shirt with a pale blue tie will be too much. Instead of drawing attention to your clothing, the opposite will occur. However, if you pair a light shirt with a dark tie, the limited amount of contrast will draw attention to you.

Colors that never be paired are easily remembered. Dark blue and purple are not flattering. White with cream will wash you out. Red and purple boggle the eye. Green and red or green and purple are awful together. Orange with green or purple should be avoided at all costs.

In general, black shirts work well with a lighter colored tie. White shirts offer a wider array of choices, as anything goes with white. This year's fashionable colors include all shades of brown, slate blues, navy blues, pale blues, black, and pure white. These color choices are easy to work with and very versatile. A pale brown shirt will look fantastic with a chocolate brown tie. Mix a gray shirt with a slate blue tie and you will look amazing. The choices are endless, as long as you remember to start with a neutral shirt and then find complementary colors.

Fashions for Big Men

The good news is that you are not alone. Many men are carrying extra weight. These same men opt to dress baggy clothing thinking they can hide their beer bellies with loose t-shirts. Would you like to know the truth? Baggy clothing actually makes you look bigger than you probably are.

Color is the most important aspect in dressing to look slimmer than you actually are. Stripes are your worst enemy. Dark colors-black, chocolate brown, charcoal, navy blue, and dark gray-offer a more slimming look. Browns, blacks, grays, and navy blues happen to be this years "in" colors. You get to wear fashionable trends while also appearing slimmer. Make sure your suit jacket and shirt are similar in color. Contrasting hues draw attention to the point in which they meet. The point at which the colors meet will create a line that adds the appearance of bulk.

When purchasing a suit jacket (and every man needs at least one jacket), look for two-button suit jackets in dark colors. Once again, the dark colors are more slimming. In addition, a two-button suit creates a streamlined look that makes your waist and stomach look tapered and trim. Do not buy a jacket that is too loose. A loose appearance will add the appearance of weight. You also need to avoid purchasing clothing that fits too snugly. Clothing should fit comfortably with no more than an inch of space at any given point.

Though Hawaiian prints are in, large patterns give the appearance of bulk. Stick to small vertical patterns that make the torso appear longer and slimmer. Always rely on vertical patterns and never horizontal patterns. Stripes that are horizontal add a round look and can make you look a lot heavier than you are. The same applies with buttons and zippers choose small, narrow fasteners.

Shiny satins, rayons, and other fabrics add weight. Any fabric with a bright sheen will make you appear larger than you are. Stick to clothing that has a brushed appearance without any shine.

If you have a chubby, round face, do not purchase turtlenecks. Turtlenecks can make you look heavy in the neck area. Instead, choose shirts with angled v-necks or leave the top couple of buttons on a dress shirt undone so that there is an angle that slims the face and neck.

Sticking to these basic rules can turn a rotund man into someone looking svelte. Just remember vertical lines, dark colors, and similar shades, and you will look great!

Fashions for Skinny Men

Just as overweight men have serious issues finding a fashionable look, men who are underweight can have just as many difficulties. Scrawny men want to look larger than they are without appearing sloppy. Building the appearance of muscle is impossible, but choosing fashions that add the appearance of bulk can be accomplished.

First and foremost, never purchase baggy clothing. You will wind up looking lost in the outfit and that makes you look slimmer than you actually are. You need to choose pants that fit snugly without being tight. Slim, non-tapered pant legs work well. Low-rise pants look great. Leather pants are a great item to own. Skinny men can pull off a pair of tight leather pants. The snug fit will accentuate your lower half and definitely draw attention. Avoid any jeans with boot cut legs or flared legs as they make you appear to be drowning in your clothing.

Choose single-breasted jackets with small shoulder pads. The shoulder pads will add a muscular look, but make sure the shoulder pads are small. Larger shoulder pads always look like nothing more than shoulder pads-think 1980's shoulder pads making people look like linebackers. You want the appearance of muscle, not the appearance of shoulder pads.

Skinnier men can easily add stripes to their wardrobe. Choose thin stripes and patterns that are close together, either vertical or horizontal. This adds the appearance of bulk, especially if you use horizontal stripes or patterns. Make sure the shirt fits nicely; you want the fabric to cling to your form.

Skinnier men also have the option of choosing any color that appeals to them. Where larger men need to stick to dark colors, skinny men can mix and match. Adding contrast breaks up an outfit's lines and can add the appearance of weight. Light jackets paired with a darker shirt can add the guise of bulk around the chest and waist.

Do not wear sleeveless shirts. Tank tops and sleeveless t-shirts will highlight the fact that you have little to no arm muscle. Stick to well-fitted t-shirts, dress shirts, and long-sleeved t-shirts.

Fabrics with sheen can add the appearance of weight. Silks, rayons, and satins can all make you look bulkier than you actually are. Consider adding a couple of shiny shirts to your wardrobe. I am not talking disco shiny, but something with sheen.

Being skinny does not mean you must dress like a stereotypical nerd. Choose fashions that you like and that do not drown your body shape. Follow these simple rules and you will look brilliant in no time!

Five Easy and Cheap Ways to Dress Up a Man's Wardrobe

More and more men are making an effort to become more interested what they are wearing and how they look. It's no wonder why then men's fashion and style is more popular today than ever before. Guys are beginning to realize that they way they look is an asset in every aspect, affecting their business life, personal life, and love life. All of this shows why it's so important to look your best.

Developing a sense of style for a man is much more than following all of the latest celebrity fashions and trends. It requires a real effort, but ultimately, it comes down to your style, image, and personality. Here are five simple ways you can change your wardrobe for the better:

• 
  Wear more color - One of the easiest ways to dress up your look is to a great way to wear a wide variety of colors. It doesn't take much, maybe just a brightly colored t-shirt underneath a v-neck sweater. Something as simple as a new colorful shirt or sweater can work too. The idea is to spice up those dull neutral tones especially around your face. That is the part of your body you want people to focus in on the most and the colors also add a touch of energy to it.



• 
  Never wear sloppy shoes - The first thing a woman looks at on a man is his shoes. That in itself shows the importance of a nice pair of clean shoes. You don't need to necessarily wear dress shoes. If you want to wear sneakers, make sure your sneakers are in good condition. It doesn't take much to keep your shoes clean. A quick shine can make them look brand new in just a few minutes.



• 
  Treat yourself - This tip is only viable if you have the money to buy yourself something expensive. If you do, then fashion experts say to always own one item that makes you stand out from everybody else and keeps you stylish. It can be anything, really. You can get yourself a new leather coat or a pair of top name, designer jeans. Whatever it is you choose to buy make sure it's something you will enough to get your money's worth.



• 
  Wear a really nice belt - Belts serve another purpose besides holding up your pants. Most belts are actually only worn for the added style they give an outfit. The type of belt basically depends on your overall outfit. The only real rule with wearing a belt is that it should match in color with your shoes. The latest trend in belts is large and elaborate buckles.



• 
  Buy a fancy watch - Watches are the final touch to your complete wardrobe upgrade experience. There are countless different watches that can go with any type of outfit, setting, or mood. I know some people who own a good number of watches that they only wear with a certain set of clothes. Think of watches as a man's version of jewelry and take it just as seriously as a woman does with hers.

Southwestern Style - How to Dress Like a Texan

Are you looking for San Antonio style clothing? If you live in Texas and like to dress in the southwestern style, you may enjoy buying some Texas style clothing. To really dress like a native Texan, look for the following clothing items:

Cowboy Hat

Texas is cattle country. Long before oil became the mainstay of the Lone Star State, cattle was where the money was at. In fact, even today, cattle money is considered "old money" in this state, while oil money is the "new money." Cowboy hats are worn by pretty much everyone in Texas. You can get one in most shops that sell hats and you will look like you fit right in to the Texas landscape.

Cowboy Boots

Texas is also boot country. Everything is bigger in Texas, even the shoes. Cowboy boots are not just for cowboys in this state and just about everyone owns a pair. Look for good snakeskin or leather when you are seeking cowboy boots. There are several different types of boots that you can get and some will cost several hundred dollars. Boots are in when you are in Texas so you had better get yourself a pair of good cowboy boots.

Leather Vest

Part of your Texas clothing should be a leather vest. This is something that both men and women wear with pride. Vests have always been in style in the southwest. Black leather or suede will go nicely with your ensemble.

Jeans

Texas is a very casual part of the country, so you had better stock up on blue jeans if you are going to wear Texas clothing. Jeans were originally made for cowboys and working men but are now part of our every day culture. Chances are that you already have jeans in your closet. For true cowboy style, don't tuck your pant legs into your boots. Look for "boot cut" jeans which allow them to easily fit over the top of your boots.

If you are a man, you will want to wear a Texas tie instead of a traditional tie. Women can wear skirts such as leather fringe skirts instead of wool or cotton skirts. If you have ever visited Texas, you can see how the people dress and wear similar clothing.

San Antonio is right in the heart of Texas and is a great place to live as well as visit. If you want to get the jump on the best San Antonio clothing, take the tips in this article and start dressing Texas style.

Wedding Dresses For Any Season

When you are getting married it is important to remember every detail in planning your wedding. It is important to take into consideration what season your wedding date is set for and choose the perfect wedding dress for that season.

Fall wedding dresses

The fall season can be a very tricky month; it can be warm during the day, and freezing cold at night. It is important that you choose the right dress. Wedding experts have recommended that wearing a strapless wedding dress will allow you to be comfortable during the day, however if you get chilly toward the end of the day, you can wear a shawl, wrap or even a stole to stay warm. These accessories will accent the look of your gown.

It is also recommended that the gown should be off white or cream color with bronze or gold beading. Jeweled accents are perfect for fall wedding dresses.

Summer wedding dresses

Summertime is the most chosen season for weddings. There are many different options for wedding dresses for the summer season. It is important that you decide well before you choose a dress where the wedding will be held. It is equally important that you choose a dress appropriate for the location. You do not want to wear a full-length wedding gown if you are getting married on the beach or in some other casual setting. Summer wedding gowns should be made out of lightweight materials like silk, chiffon or crepe. The lightweight material will allow you to stay comfortable in the summer heat and during the festivities.

Winter wedding dresses

Winter is perhaps the most difficult season to choose a wedding dress for. Although the traditional long white wedding gown is recommended for winter weddings, many people choose to go with other colors that reflect the season. Green blue and even red colors are all wonderful choices for a winter wedding.

Long sleeves are also recommended for a winter wedding. However you can choose a gown that has lace and embroidery for sleeves. It creates a very elegant look.

Choosing a wedding dress can be the highlight of planning your wedding. It is important to understand that you will not chose the first wedding dress that you see, and that it may take some time to find the perfect wedding dress. It is equally important that you do not stress during the process of choosing a wedding dress. You will know immediately when you see the right one.

Knowing the Essentials for Buying Men's Shoes

Most of guys when shopping for new shoes place much more importance on comfort and function for their shoes than women do. This doesn't mean that style doesn't play a role for men but, but the fact is that most guys won't buy an uncomfortable shoe just because it may look good or is in style. However, those same men make the mistake of thinking that shoes are not that important because they can't be seen. Either way, they are wrong.

Aside from the pair of sneakers every guy I know owns, every man better have a few certain shoes in his wardrobe. They are a shiny pair of dress shoes; a comfortable pair of sneakers; a pair of attention-grabbing boots; and finally an everyday pair of casual dress shoes. Here is the list of the top four essential shoes all men should own:

• 
  Casual shoes - You always want a clean pair of casual shoes to wear for those everyday occasions that you don't dress up for but you also don't want to look like slob. They are the kind of shoes you would wear with jeans. You want them to comfortable, but more professional than sneakers. I recommend a good pair of black or brown loafers or lace-up shoes. I like them because of their versatility with the type of clothes you can wear with them.



• 
  Work boots - When it comes to being a man's man, nothing is more important that a good, sturdy pair of work boots. Of all the things you look for in a good boot, the quality of how it is made and how comfortable they are should rank number one and two on that list. It is best to try on a few different pairs of several known brands in order to decide which ones will work best for your particular needs. For example, if you work on your feet outside a lot, you'll want a boot with a solid tread as well as a thick sole to cushion your feet.



• 
  Dress shoes - Every man should own at least one pair of really nice dress shoes. You never know when you'll need them. The best ones are always simple and match your dress clothes easily. Most fashion experts sing the praises of going with patent leather. The one thing you must always keep in mind when wearing dress shoes, is to make sure they match everything else you are wearing. If your pants or jacket is gray, black, or blue, then you better wear black shoes. Brown shoes should be worn with earthy toned colors.



• 
  Athletic shoes - You want a pair of athletic shoes that give your feet and ankles enough support to prevent injury but they also must be comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The size of the shoes are very important so take the time to correctly measure your feet so you get the right size. Ask for help if you aren't sure how to do that. Many athletic shoes are now made specifically for a particular sport so choose yours that matches your activity.

The Irresistible Glam of Wedding Dresses

When brides march down the aisle, all eyes are riveted on the wedding dress; the bridal dress is the cherry on the cake so to speak and all brides are beautiful in their stunning wedding dresses. What's about these dresses that fire the imagination of little girls and stoke the longings for grand weddings?

The Dress of a Lifetime

Every girl has her favorite dress and there are dresses to mark milestones in their growing-up years and during their transition from girls to women. But the best dress of all is the wedding dress. Girls have visions of satin and lace, pearls and bows, misty veils, and flowers, running in their minds when they imagine themselves in a bridal dress. They see themselves as princesses ready to float away to a magical land.

The wedding gown or dress is the ultimate dress; it transforms ordinary-looking women into gorgeous brides. There must be something about wedding dresses. No wonder, brides spend three-fourths of the preparation time planning their dress. They want the best wedding dress whether it's a discount dress or an heirloom or a second-hand dress or custom-made gown from top Parisian designer houses.

Wedding dresses are worn once and never used again for a second wedding. It would rather be passed on from bride to another. For a woman who is getting into a second marriage, the dress is still an important detail in the planning. Either it must surpass the first wedding gown or must be less glamorous, but nevertheless, it must still be the best of all wedding dresses. Second wedding or not, this is still the ultimate dress.

The Evolution of Bridal Dresses

Different decades have made their mark on the wedding dress. Traditionally, these dresses were dark in color for white gowns or dresses were difficult to clean. As time marched on, dresses for wedding rituals favored long white wedding gowns. All these changed with each incoming generation.

How to Disguise Your Man Boobs

So you have Man Boobs. It's horrible, you feel self-conscious, embarrassed about your body and uncomfortable in your clothes. You want to rid yourself of this affliction and get your life back. It can be done but you have to weigh up the pros and cons of each solution carefully and while you are doing that you need to know how to disguise your man boobs.

The way you dress can do a lot to disguise your man boobs. Here are a few suggestions:

Don't wear thin or clingy fabric tops. This will just accentuate the problem.

Wear layers. Wearing a dark T shirt under an open necked shirt will draw the eye away from the chest to the neck area.

Wear dark colours on top. Dark colours absorb the light and any rippling in the skin will be hidden. Make sure the top is not too tight though.

A top in a patterned material will distract the eye away from your boobs. Stick to the smaller patterns though.

Always wear your shirts loose. Casual shirts like polos, can be worn outside of trousers to further disguise the size of our man boobs. You'll probably find it much more comfortable too.

If your boobs are quite big never wear a short-sleeved top. This is because the sleeves end in line with your boobs thus drawing attention to them.

A waistcoat over your shirt will hid a lumpy chest area too. Keep it buttoned though, as a flapping vest will draw the eye.

I hope this information has been of use to you and will help make you feel better as you search for a permanent solution to get rid of your man boobs. Please check out this website for further information http://www.men-in-mind.co.uk

There are many horror stories of several girls arriving at the prom with the same dress. This situation will mar what should be one of the most memorable nights of your life, and this potential nightmare can be avoided when you design your own prom dress.

The matter of having an infinite number of stores in any town means that the people attending the prom will probably be buying at the same shops. The number of different styles will be limited and there will probably be numerous copies of identical dresses. These same people will be shopping during the same time period, and so the chances of duplicate dresses appearing at the event are high for every person except you if you have accepted the challenge to design your own prom dress.

Ideas and Tips to Design Your Own Prom Dress

Once you've researched the various types of fabric available, decide on the fashion and look you are aiming for. Although the task of designing your own dress may seem monumental at first, think of the rewards of owning your own creation that you'll be able to cherish for years to come. Not to mention the financial benefits you'll have.
