Men’s suits: not just for the office

Saturday, August 8, 2009

Suits are ideal office wear for men – and many women – because they are smart, stylish and not overly individual. This last statement may prove contentious, but it is rare to go into an office and see a suit that is not a dark shade, with a discreet pattern. This is perfectly understandable: offices are about teamwork, rather than sartorial one-upmanship. Of course, you can always discreetly compete, with the cut of your suit and the quality of the fabric, but it is usually expected that your energy and concentration will be channelled into business.


Suits are also ideal for the business world because they look good on everyone. While it can be a little worrying to see your parents or elders sporting the casual fashions of twenty-somethings, if they wear a suit then it is likely to be completely unremarkable. Equally, even a very young man applying for his first job looks reasonably presentable in a suit. If a potential boss saw him in low cut jeans and a label t-shirt then the story might be rather different.

However, do not assume that your Boden Men suit’s usefulness expires away from the workplace. Men’s suits come in a marvellous array of shapes, sizes and fabrics and are perfect for playing with people’s expectations, so you can be as sensible, stylish or flamboyant as you wish. Perhaps go for the flounced dress shirt and cummerbund combination, or keep the look pared down, letting people simply admire the way your suit flatters your figure. Or pick an unusually textured fabric, perhaps velvet or tweed, unless you are going to be dancing, in which case a light-weight fabric is by far the best choice.

If you typically sport the cool and casual look at parties just think how much attention you will get by wearing a Boden Boys suit to the next Christmas celebration. They are the epitome of stylish dressing and you can really enjoy accessorising with silk handkerchiefs, slim ties or an old-fashioned pocket watch. Even if you only invest in one ‘party’ suit, you can make it look fresh by changing your accessories. If the office expects sensible shoes, then you can match casual sneakers with a suit just to emphasise how far from the work ethos your evening is going to be.

Suits are also great at making the most of any figure. The only item of men’s clothing that is better is a kilt, but unless you’re Scottish you’ll likely not be trying this on for size. It is always a fallacy that a round stomach is best hidden under something baggy – a well tailored suit jacket and shirt will do a much more effective job of hiding extra weight. Although of course, clothes can only achieve so much from Boden Boys.

So, when the Christmas invitations start coming in and you’re wondering what to wear, don’t forget the stylish Boden Men charms of mens suits. Leave the standard black officewear in your wardrobe and choose one that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Hairstyles for Men with Long Hair

by Kamen Loze

When it comes to hair, there is nothing more appealing and attractive than long, thick, textured and coarse hair. Long hairstyles are a great way to show the glamour and shine of natural hair. Whether it is a birthday party, a candle light dinner, or a wedding, long hairs can style out to be more appealing and beautiful. Many men do not have bangs and you will be surprised at just how much of a difference bangs can do. Bangs will add a whole new look to your face.

What is so good about men with bangs? Well, those bangs on men will help to make the face look thinner and elongated. Bangs can give a man an edgier, sharper look. When it comes to bangs on men, it does not matter if you have long hair, short hair or medium hair. Either way you go, at all lengths, bangs will look good. Trendy hair styles for men have great ranges. It's currently in style for men to have short, medium, or long hair - or to even have a bald head. For those men who want to make a statement with their hair you might want to try the popular “faux hawk” men's hair style.

This style is an updated version of the severe Mohawk hairstyle but without the shaved sides. There are many factors such as age, style, and clothing to name a few that can effect what hairstyles will look good on you. The most concerning point for men is hair loss. Many men face it and it can become a very emotional and stressful period as men start to lose their hair. Hair can look trendy when it is either short or long, as long as it has a modern cut.

Over time, this thinning turns into a full fledged bald spot, and the bald spot grows to cover the head, apart from the sides and around the back. Regardless of this, as long as there is a single hair left on my head I'll still demand a stylish coiffure. So, what balding hairstyle options are available? The worst balding men's hairstyle is the comb over. This is the classic look beloved of men of a certain age whereby the hair is grown longer on one side of the head and 'combed over' the bald area to the other side.

This strategy only spells disaster even in the slightest of breezes and is to be avoided at all costs. But assuming you already know this, what are the other do's and don'ts to balding men's hairstyles? The first common mistake is combing the hair straight back. This may cover bald spots, but it only exposes the forehead and draws attention to the receding hairline.

If your hair is long enough you can pull it into a ponytail, and slick it back for a clean tidy look. You can even braid it if it flies all over the place. Men don't curl their hair, but sometimes it's necessary to flat iron a frizzy set of hair. Yes, we know it doesn't sound like something you would want to do, but having long hair has its price. You can always go for a trim on the day of the event. Let the hairdresser know it is a special occasion and that you need it styled too.

Five Commandments Of Mens Fashion

Sunday, August 2, 2009

By: Hendrik Pohl

Less flashier than the ladies' arena, men's fashion is a much simpler world. With fewer choices to go on, you also have less what-ifs to worry about. If you're not as stylish as you want to be, here are five simple rules to live, and dress by to help you get started.

Find a Tailor
Tailors are something of deities in the world of men's fashion. With shears and thread in hand, they can emphasize any asset, hide any flaw and make you look as close as you can get to those photos in the glossies. So find a good tailor and stick by him and his advice.

Besides, the fashionable man doesn't go to his tailor only for suits. He gets pants and shirts made (or at least altered) there. New jackets must be subject to modifications at the hands of the craftsman. Jeans should get hemmed and fixed to fit snugly. You should be wearing your clothes, not the other way around, and your tailor helps you do just that.

Get Your Fit
Why are tailors so important? Because a good fit is priceless. Regardless of the era or prevailing statement in men's fashion, none of it will look good unless the fit is right. Never settle for any piece of clothing that doesn't fit you the way it should. Buying an ill-fitting pair of denims or a shirt one size too big is just wasting money.

Before going to the store, know your size. Different brands have different sizing schemes, and what's Large for one retailer might just be a Medium for another. Nevertheless, make it a point to fit the clothes before buying and to always take one last look at the mirror. The mirror is the final test to see if any piece of clothing is worth buying. If it looks good when it's actually on you, it's time to queue up at the checkout counter.

Invest in Quality
Premium men's fashion is expensive for a reason, and it's not just the advertising hype. The best brands always have history and craftsmanship behind them that make their stuff worth the sky-high price tags. There's an unquantifiable benefit when a silk tie is hand-rolled by a third generation craftsman, or a suit is assembled by a century-old brand.

That's what you're paying for. That, plus the fact that quality goods look better and last longer. You'd do better to invest in just a few premium pieces than innumerable generic ones from the clearance rack at Target.

Start Caring
Discipline is often associated as a male quality, and you'll need it if you're going to take your clothes seriously. High-end men's fashion demands for a near-religious level of maintenance, and it's time you started learning the ropes. Start by familiarizing yourself with the common terms on care labels, and then actually following them.

Each article of clothing in your wardrobe needs one method or another of maintenance. Shoes need to be put on shoe trees and regularly conditioned. Silk neckties need to be sent to a fabric specialist every so often. Tailored suits should be handled by dry cleaners and no one else. It's a long list of rules to follow if you want to make your clothes last.

Play Matchmaker
If you weren't a dab hand with mixing colors back in art class, that has to change now. Since men's fashion uses individual pieces instead of the ladies' gowns and dresses, you have to be able to put together shirts with ties, pants with socks and so on.

Read through art books and primers, as most of them have guides on matching colors and patterns. Stick a color wheel near your closet, if you're rarely sure of which shade or hue to get. Don't put off learning this, else you'll be wasting time matching ties to shirts every morning.

Yes, men's fashion can get complicated. These rules simplify just a small part of the big picture. At the end of the day, the only rule you'll have to remember is to wear whatever it is that looks good in the mirror.

Mens Fashion Tips - A Guide To The Best Suit Colors And Cuts

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

By: Hendrik Pohl

Buying a suit is far from straightforward. Back when you were getting your first one for prom, your dad or older brother was probably there to do all the talking with the salesman, while you simply said yes or no to the color choices. Now that you're all grown up and much more fashion-conscious, it's time to learn how to buy a suit from the store yourself.

What Color Do You Need?
Suits are worn for baptisms, burials and everything in between. But even if you wear the same kind of clothing to all those events, you don't necessarily wear the same color. Different colors have different moods and messages, so you have to get the purpose of your suit clear before you buy.

Are you buying a suit for work? Get a color like black that you can wear on any day and with virtually any other piece of clothing you have. Additionally, black disguises dirt and stains so you can get away with not visiting the dry cleaner's for long periods of time. It's a very formal color too, and is flexible enough to be worn to occasions outside the office.

More casual needs like a date suit or one for just going out are best satisfied by a more casual color like navy or beige. The lighter color makes them seem happier than sombre old black, while the suit as a whole will keep you from looking too casual. These colors of suits can also be worn for occasions in the morning like a baptism or a birthday brunch in the garden.

Which Cut Will Look Good?
Although most of them look completely identical, there are many nuances to the cuts and fits of suits. It's usually personal dressing preferences that make the choices in this area, but it's always your body type that will limit your options and have the final say.

Slimmer guys will want to look at the English style of suiting, which involves a very slim silhouette and an emphasized waist. The 'dapper English gentleman' is often idealized as a thin, inscrutable guy, and the region's suits reflect that. For thin guys, going thin helps keep your entire look in proportion and help you look more amply endowed physically.

Bulkier guys, meanwhile, should look at the American cuts from the other side of the Atlantic. These have wider, more forgiving cuts that are best filled out by a stockier build. As always, avoid getting things that are too big, as they'll make you look even more out of proportion.

European cut suits might be a good idea if you're used to wearing suits, have an average body type and are willing to try an unorthodox style. Although mildly more generous with the cuts than their English counterparts, European suits are no less exacting. The shorter sleeves and pants hems combined with the relatively thin silhouette of the suit are best done with a tall, slim bod.

When looking for suits, you'll have to rely on yourself and what you know about your body. Besides, the salesman will just tell you that everything will look good on you anyway.

Self Expression Using Mens Formal Wear Accessories

By: Hendrik Pohl

Over the years mens formal wear has continually evolved. However, one constant has remained unchanged. Accessories are the outlet for men to express their individualism and personality when wearing formal wear. Keep in mind that the purpose of accessories is to complement your formal wear, not to overwhelm it. Use restraint and resist over accessorizing in order to maintain the formal aura.

Dress Set
It is advisable to purchase a complete, matching dress set for your tuxedo. In a dress set you would expect to find all the essentials such as two cuff links, shirt studs and vest buttons.

Tie
The bowtie choice should match with the trim of the dinner jacket or tux jacket. If the jacket is trimmed in satin, the choice for the bowtie would be a satin tie. For grosgrain trim choose a tie made of woven or ribbed fabric. The important point is to choose a tie that matches the trim and does not detract from the jacket. Should you choose to wear a tie that is not black, coordinate the color of the tie to the color of the cummerbund.

Handkerchief
Handkerchief ideally will match the color of the cummerbund. It will be neatly folded and placed in the breast pocket of the suit jacket. Pocket squares made specifically for formal use can be purchased in satin and other fabrics.

Suspenders
When wearing braces or suspenders with formal wear, the suspender tabs should be attached directly in line with the first pleat of the trousers.

Shoes
Wear shoes that complement the ensemble. You need not be uncomfortable in formal dress shoes. Look for shoes that are comfortable to wear and that complete the look you desire. Tuxedo slippers provide the ultimate in comfort as well as the ultimate in footwear style.

Socks
Socks are a great way to show your individuality by selecting patterns and colors without compromising the overall appearance of your formal wear. If you opt for the more traditional stockings they should match the color of the trousers so as to blend in and not draw attention to the feet.

Gloves and Scarves
When the weather is inclement gloves and scarves matching your formal attire are a must. These should match the color of the tuxedo or dinner jacket.

Hats
Hats are the crowning glory of formal attire. Top hats are the finishing touch to any formal ensemble. When choosing the hat, match the color of the tuxedo. Choose the style hat you feel good wearing and that is appropriate for the occasion.

Accessories make the man. That adage is never more true that when accessorizing ones formal wear. Choose accessories that blend the attire and reflects your personality.

Overall, though, make sure you keep your entire look quite tame. Showing off a dash of boldness or unexpected uniqueness to your ensemble might not be the smartest idea and should be kept to a minimum, if ever. If you really must, opt to show this individuality in only one item of clothing. If you end up choosing to do so with several items, it will be seen as too flashy and you will definitely go overboard. Remember that this is still a formal function, not a unique costume ball.
