The Key to Casual Wear for Men

by admin

Men seem to have it easier than women when it comes to selecting outfits to wear.  This is especially true when it comes to the difference between formal and casual wear.  For men, formal wear is formal – a suit.  There isn’t much else to it.  However, the only thing is, for men, there are lots of different levels of casual, and it is important to make sure that you wear the right one for the right occasion.

Dressy Casual

 Dressy casual is probably the hardest to dress for because it is so dependent on the situation in which you are going.  However, if you need to wear casual clothes, but still want to look really nice, you should focus on the following:

Depending on where you are going, this means either wearing nice slacks or dressy jeans by Debenhams.  If you wear slacks, you should wear nicer shoes.  If you are going with dressy jeans, you could get away with less formal shoes, but either way, the shoes should be in excellent condition.

For shirts, this usually means button down shirts (possibly short-sleeved), and possibly a jacket.  You don’t want to over dress, but a jacket can make anything seem a little more dressy.

 Regular Casual

 Regular casual is what you will wear out with friends on the weekend.  This is usually regular jeans or shorts, and a polo shirt or a tee shirt in good condition.  For shoes, you can usually just wear nice sneakers or other shoes, but still make sure they are in good condition.  Depending on the season and location, you could even wear flip flops with jeans or shorts.

 Weekend Around-the-House Casual

 Finally, you just have your regular around the house casual clothes that you can wear at nights and weekends when you are staying in.  Don’t buy anything here!  Just utilize your older shirts, shorts, and pants that you just don’t want to wear our with friends anymore.  This is for your family’s eyes only!

Shopping for Big and Tall Men

by admin

It can sometimes be difficult to find clothes for big and tall men.  There requirement for outsize menswear used to make it difficult to find retailers that could accommodate them.  It usually meant going to a specialty store to find properly fitting appropriately.  However, as demands have progressed, more stores and brands have begun to offer clothing for bigger guys.  Here are a few tips and thoughts on shopping for big and tall men.

Know Your Size

This can be the trickiest part of finding and buying larger menswear.  Your measurements are how you will be able to find the best fitting clothes, but not all brands and retailers have sizes meaning the same thing.  Before you start searching for clothes, make sure that you measure your chest, neck, sleeves, and inseam to know exactly what sizes you are looking for.

Also, keep in mind that being big doesn’t always mean tall, and vice versa.  If you are looking for a suit, you should shop specifically for your body type.  Tall individuals should find “tall” shirts and “long” pants.

By going to the store prepared, it will make for a much more pleasant shopping trip.

Choose the Right Styles

The next thing to keep in mind is choosing the right styles for your body.  The key to being confident in your clothes is being comfortable.  Bigger gentlemen should avoid wearing tight fitting suits and other clothes.  Also, make sure that you stick to solids, and vertical stripes, while avoiding bright colors.

If you buy light and flowing fabrics, it may make you seem larger than you are.  The same is true for bulky fabrics.  Keep to lightweight wool suits and cotton dress shirts.  If you are thinking about wearing khaki, consider wearing jeans or denim instead.

For taller men, 3 button suits and jackets will be a better look and give you a fuller appearance.  Make sure that you also look for extra long ties, so that they reach your belt buckle.  Too many tall men wear ties that are too short!

 Make Sure It Fits

Finally, you want to make sure that whatever you buy fits perfectly.  Nothing off the rack, for any size man, usually does.  Spend the extra money and pay t have your suits and jackets tailored to fit your body.  This will make sure that the clothes work well for you.

Finding the Right Footwear For You

I will be honest with you – buying shoes is something that I perpetually struggle with because there are just so many different choices and ways to wear shoes with different outfits.   If I wasn’t careful in my shoe spending, I would end up having a different pair of shoes for everything, and that just wouldn’t work.  Here are some tips for finding the right footwear for you, and where you can find some great deals on shoes.

Buy Versatile Shoes

The first advice I have when it comes to buying shoes, is buy shoes that you can wear with multiple outfits.  I think that most men should have a pair of black dress shoes and a pair of brown dress shoes.  Make sure that you don’t get super-fancy shoes, as you may find yourself overdressed.  In most occasions, it is good to be a bit understated, especially with footwear.  By having both a pair of black shoes and brown shoes, you are pretty much set for each occasion.

Also, don’t forget comfort.  It is essential that you are comfortable in the shoes you are wearing, or else your feet may hate you for it.

 You Need Casual and Athletic Shoes Too!

Every guy needs to have a pair of casual shoes as well.  These should be canvass or suede, and should look good wearing jeans and a tee shirt.  You should also consider getting a pair of flip flops.  Even though summer is almost over, these are versatile footwear in many parts of the country.

Also, make sure that you have a good pair of running shoes for working out or going to the gym in.  These shoes should be very comfortable and supporting, and should be okay to get a little dirty in.  Having a good pair of athletic shoes avoids your casual shoes from getting messed up!

 Where To Get Great Deals on Shoes

 There are a lot of great online shoe stores where you can find great deals on shoes.  If you’re looking for casual shoes or even more versatile shoes, look for a shoe store like Scotts to find great deals on shoes.   Scotts has a wide variety of different types of shoes that will meet just about any need or desire you have.  When looking to find the right footwear for your feet, consider shopping online to find the best prices and selection.

Fall Closet Organization

by admin

At the end of summer is always a great time to look at closet organization.  The reason is you will probably be changing your wardrobe over from light and small summer clothes to heavy and bulky winter clothes.  It is also a good time to organize because you probably haven’t even looked at some of your winter wear in a good 9 months.  Here are some things to consider as you start preparing for fall when it comes to your wardrobe and closet.

Take an Inventory

It is very important that you take a good inventory of your closet and look at what you wear the most, the least, and not at all.  If you haven’t worn an item of clothing in over a year, it is time to donate it.  The same is true for any items that don’t fit anymore either.

Depending on the item, men’s clothes and jackets can usually be tailored.  So, before you donate, check with your husband to make sure that it really does need to go, or if he needs to take it in for alteration.

Store The Summer Stuff

If your closet is as seasonal as mine is, it is okay to look at some of your summer stuff and store it.  The same is true during the spring, when you can store some of your winter stuff.  I actually have two totes that I rotate through, and simply change out the summer and winter stuff each year.  They then go in the hall closet until the spring.

Organize

 Once you’ve sorted and stored, it is time to get organizing.  The first thing you should do is choose the right hanger.  Your closet will look so much better if you use all of the same type of hanger for all items.  Then, make sure you have the right hanger for pants, suits, and shirts and blouses.

For blouses and shirts, I like to sort my closet by sleeve length, then by shade.  I keep like colors with like colors, and move from light to dark.  This lets me see what I can pair for my outfits.

For folded items, make sure that you store these on shelves, and don’t try to hang them.  If you hang them, they could stretch out of shape and be ruined.  I keep like items folded together, like workout wear and underwear.  If you don’t have shelves in your closet, consider getting hanging shelves to hang on the clothing rod.

In many special events such as the Oscar Awards, a lot of celebrities especially actors wear Armani suits. The brand is probably most known for their suits but for many years now Armani has been a leading brand which designs and sells not only suits but also haute couture, ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, leather goods, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, eyewear, and home interiors. Founded by Giorgio Armani in 1975, it has grown tremendously and is now a household name all over the world. Armani has several sub labels like Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani, AJ | Armani Jeans, AX | Armani Exchange, Armani Junior, and Armani/Casa. When it comes to high fashion, Armani always tops the list.

The most popular sub label of Armani is Giorgio Armani. It specializes in high end men’s and women’s ready-to-wear clothes, accessories, cosmetics, perfumes, and glasses. Not all people can afford this label though since they’re quite expensive. Another popular sub label is Emporio Armani. They also sell high quality clothes and accessories focusing on trends and is very modern. Emporio Armani has been endorsed by celebrities like Rihanna, Megan Fox and Cristiano Ronaldo. Among all the Armani sub labels, Emporio Armani is the only one that is mainly designed by Giorgio Armani.

Armani Exchange is another sub label which sells fashion as well as lifestyle products. They are known for their eye catching advertisements which are quite controversial. They focus mainly on street clothes and is the favorite of many young fashionistas. They are sold in many stores world wide. If you’re tired of the usual brand of denim and jeans, you can instead buy Armani Jeans. They have many exciting designs that fashion trendsetters would love. Armani also sells home furnishings like furniture, dining sets, lamps, and linen under the Armani/Casa line. So whatever products you want, Armani definitely has it and they’re the best.
