Top spring footwear trends for men

by admin

With good weather on the way it’s time to ditch the Chelsea boots and Uggs you’ve been wearing all winter and swap them for something a little more suited to the season. Here’s our pick of the catwalk’s top styles for SS12.

1. Deck shoes: Comfortable, practical and infinitely stylish, just the mention of deck shoes manages to conjour up visions of long days sipping Pimms on sun-soaked marinas. You may not own a private yacht, but for a comfy casual look deck shoes are still seriously on-trend. They needn’t cost you a fortune either – Next has a great section of deck shoes in various styles which won’t break the bank. If you just add one pair of shoes to your wardrobe this spring, then this should be it.

Multi boat shoes from Next, £28

2. Espadrille: Once only suitable for wearing to the beach, the espadrille is now a spring/summer style staple. Wear with cut-off trousers or shorts plus a blazer or jacket for best effect. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the runway this season hosted a range of espadrille-slash-brogue hybrids that gave a twist to this traditional look – you can see a selection on the GQ Magazine website.

3. Heels: If you’re on the small side then news of this trend will be music to your ears. We’re not, obviously, talking transvestite-style stiletto heels, but subtly built-up soles are all the rage this season. Prada works this trend on everything from brogues to desert shoes – even its sneakers have small platform heels.

4. Saddle shoes: Two-tone saddle-style shoes are set to be hot for spring/summer. Wear them in suede or leather, and don’t be afraid to go a little crazy with the colours. The tan and lime green combination seen at Mark McNairy is a fresh twist on the trend and is sure to be much-copied on the high street.

5. Penny loafers: The fashion crowd turned their backs on these classic shoes when they started being seen in back-alley clubs paired with white shirts and too much hair gel – but this year penny loafers are enjoying a renaissance. The key to working this look is to keep it classy. Navy leather loafers with red soles from Tommy Hilfiger are in. Faux leather versions purchased from your local market stall are not.

Summer Men’s Fashion Must Haves

Men want to look fashionable this summer too. Attribute it to “metrosexualism” or “manity” all you like, but the truth is that most men are not slobs and actually care about their appearance. Whether it’s spending a little extra to look good or finding a nice pair of cheap sunglasses you can lose, you always want to know what’s fashionable so you aren’t stuck looking like a fool.

For men who fit this bill, check out some of the must haves for summer 2012 listed below.

V-Neck Tees

In fashion for the past half of the decade, V-Neck tees are still very much in style. Deep v’s have been featured in Summer 2012 runway looks in bright, bold colors. However, these colors are very rich, not the neon color trend of a few years ago. Its is safe to say that these tees will continue to stay in style for a few more years, so they are a good investment. Gap and American Apparel are great places to find v-neck tees.

Horn-rimmed Sunglasses

Every guy needs to buy a new pair of sunglasses for the hot and sunny summer weather. This year, horn-rimmed glasses are a stylish choice for men. This style is part of the vintage sunglass trend that is overtaking America thanks to the hit series Mad Men. Other popular vintage style sunglasses include round glasses and aviator lenses.

Camel Blazers

Even in the summer, sometimes it can get chilly at night. When this happens, cover yourself up with a sleek and stylish camel-colored blazer. Blazers help to give men a very polished look, and camel is a wonderful summer color that can also bleed over to fall. Whether you are looking forward to a night on the beach or a night out on the town, a camel blazer will help to give your outfit that classy look that is so popular for men.

Orange and Blue

Orange and blue are the two unique colors of the season for men. Many men’s clothing will have these colors presented in bold and bright hues. While your first instinct may be to think of a Florida Gators football game, do not at all worry. The orange and blue trend for men is done in a classier way than the University of Florida’s sports jerseys. When thinking of men’s fashion for this summer, the easiest way to sum it up is in three words: classy, classic, and bold.

What Makes Personalized Handmade Leather Belts The Perfect Gifts For Men

by admin

Photobucket

The easy thing about giving gifts to men is that males are generally less choosy than their female counterparts. This makes it relatively less problematic to think of gift ideas for them. However, this does not mean you should not put much effort in considering what is perfect for your special man. This is exactly where personalized handmade leather belts come in.

 

What exactly makes personalized leather belts the perfect gift for men?

 

First of all, men will always wear leather belts. Regardless of whether it’s formal wear or casual wear, since most men tend to wear pants more than any other type of lower garment, leather belts for men are some of their most commonly used clothing accessories. Leather belts are versatile enough to be worn with jeans, slacks, khakis, and almost any type of pants. A personalized leather belt will not only be a unique gift idea but it will also be a very useful one.

 

Second, only a few generic gift ideas bring out a man’s character. Sure, some mugs can be very masculine but they are too common to bring out any personality. Ties carry personality but not everyone wears neckties regularly. Watches, on the other hand, can be a real find but giving one requires knowing the recipient’s taste and preferences. The problem is that these things (taste and preferences) change in time. So what your man considers a great timepiece at the moment may not be as great several weeks from now. What then?

 

With personalized leather belts, however, you can bring out a man’s character and not be worried about how trendy your gift is. Leather belts are not just classic. They are also timeless. And depending on how they are designed, these belts can bring out a man’s elegance or loudness.

 

Cowboy belts, for example, scream ruggedness and toughness. Dress leather belts, on the other hand exude refined elegance and class. You can even go as far as to customize details like brass buckle engravings or even overall basketweave surface layout. It’s a perfect way to compliment your man while providing him a basic clothing accessory.

 

Third, whether they admit it or not, a lot of men consider personalized leather belts as some of those nice-to-have-but-don’t want-to-spend-money-on things. For fear of being called vain by others, some of them would rather just wait to receive one as a gift than to save up for one. There is a good chance your man is one of those people wishing for the same gift idea. However, even if he is one of those who are willing to buy one, it’s still better that you be the one to give a personalized leather belt to him. Right?

Looking Good With Swanthorpe

I am a guy who loves to dress up and I can be very picky on my wardrobe. Dressing up appropriately is very essential as it brings out our character and it is very important in giving a good first impression to the others. We should never force ourselves to dress up clothing that make us uncomfortable. I always watch what I wear whenever I go out from my house, to work or to the malls. I love to put on a coat so as to give me extra comfort especially during cold weathers. There are days when I have to do some presentations at work and I make sure that I wear the formal type of coat to so as to look smarter and giving a good impression during the meetings with my clients. Therefore, when it comes to formal or informal wear, I would love to go to this website that offers these stylish Outdoor Coats for all occasions. They have a wide range of attire to choose from and not only that, their prices are very reasonable as well.

Wearing a proper coat can bring out a character in us and one can feel more confident and comfortable in the outlook appearance. When it comes to official meetings and presentations, I will make sure that my attire will bring out the confidence and trust to my clients, what I wear will sort of reflect in my character and outward appearance. It is very important to portray a look of confidence to others especially when it comes to official matters. I used to tell my friends this…”It sure feels great to look good!”
