 photo Paris_Fashion_2011_Streetlooks-1_zpsa9e4e90d.jpg

One of the most important things that you put on while getting ready for office is a neatly ironed formal dress shirts. Good fitted shirts offer extreme comfort and at the same time, give you a deep sense of confidence to take up the daily challenges head on. Wearing formal shirts (www.peprismine.com/mens-shirts-online-shopping) with a perfect fit makes others to look up to you for inspiration. However, picking the shirts that are of good quality and good fit isn’t easy. Many men feel that buying the better fitted formals may look like a rocket science (but isn’t). Here are the easy and actionable principles to help you pick the right ones, so that you can create a list of classic shirts that can be worn either at work or at a conference, for a fund raising event or even at a board meeting. In the outfit buying process, it’s always great to see the shirt buying as a top agenda. When men shop for the dress shirts, good quality and great fit are the 2 most important things> once you get this right, you will feel very comfortable and wearing them makes you more confident. Most of the times, many men look for easier ways and pick the shirts by just looking at the size mentioned on the shirt, which is not a good idea because the fit of the shirts vary across difference brands, even though the numbers are the same.

The better way to see if the shirts fit you well is by knowing simple way on taking your body measurements. Though it’s not necessary to know all the measurements, some of the measurements that you must know are the neck, shoulder, and sleeve length and across the chest measurement. These measurements are important because they define the size that you pick for your physique. If you aren’t aware of your neck size, a smaller one will squeeze your neck and if it’s too loose, it hangs off your neck. To know your correct collar size, do a one finger test. Put one finger between the collar and your neck. If it comfortably fits and you are at ease, that’s the collar size that you need to go in for. The second most important factor is the unnecessary fabrics that hang around chest and the waist. Do not buy formal shirts if you find them with excessive fabrics around the two areas. For looking sharper and classier, the rule of thumb is – try out shirts that are neither too tight nor too baggy. Try different fits including the slim fit and the regular fits and you may be surprise that a fit that you always loved can be available in either regular or slim-fit, depending on the brand that you select. The looseness of the shirts makes men look older. To look younger, a quick advice is to select shirts that come in perfect fit. Give as much importance to the shoulder part of the shirt. The rule here is the seams of the shoulder should hug your shoulder.

While trying the dress shirts for office wear, the sleeve lengths shouldn’t be too long or for that matter, too short. As a quick test when you are trying it out, unbutton at the cuffs and see if they reach past your wrists. If they reach past through the wrists, it’s best that you try the same fit with a smaller sleeve length. Very few popular brands like Gap, Brooks Brothers and Charles Tyrwhitt offer such variations in terms of sleeve length. For men who belong to belong to the “six footer” group of tall men, try out formal dress shirts to see if it is good at the sleeves and the shirt length. For easy tuck-in, the shirt length has to be 7 inches from the waist or the point where you put the belt for trousers.

PeprisMine.com is an online apparel shirt brand that offers better fit shirts. The shirts are made from pure cotton and Egyptian Giza cotton. At peprismine, you can also select from different sleeve sizes. To know more, visit peprismine.com.

Whether you’re building a new wardrobe or just looking to round out your closet, it’s important to have all the basics. Here are a few essentials for the fashionable male.

1: Suit

Every man needs at least one good suit. The type you buy, however, will depend on your personal budget and style. Are you a fan of the classics? Look for a dark three-piece suit. Young and bold? Look for pinstriped or houndstooth designs.

2: Jeans

A sturdy pair of jeans will last for years, so don’t be afraid to splurge and buy one of high quality. If you’re anything like the average man, you’ll be wearing them a lot.

3: Utility Jacket

These military-inspired jackets will bring an edge to any outfit, sending a message of confidence, masculine and vitality. Pair them with those jeans you just bought and you’ll be attracting women for miles.

4: Loafers

A must-have for the working professional, even hipsters will eventually have need of dress shoes, whether it’s for a wedding, funeral, family reunion or job interview. Start with a black pair first, the most traditional.

5: Cargo Pants

Neat enough for the office, yet casual enough for everyday wear, a good cargo pants will serve you through a variety of events and occasions.

6: Blazer

Blazers are one of the great secrets of men’s fashion. Everyone knows about them, of course, but few realize just how versatile they really are: You can wear them to complement an expensive, stylish outfit or you can use them to “class up” a more casual one.

Saving More Through Online Shopping

 photo Faconnable-20132jpg-e1363134775447_zpsb52fba44.jpg

I do most of my shopping online now that I have discovered its advantages. Since my schedule is loaded, not even having the time to do some of my errands, internet shopping has provided me with some precious hours. It is more convenient, faster, and easier. I no longer have to brave traffic or wait in line for minutes. I do my shopping anywhere I am, anytime. I also like the fact that there are more choices and I am able to save more because most of the items are cheaper than those you find at the mall. Furthermore, there are a lot of online stores that provide free shipping and big discounts.

I have a couple of favorite online shops and they accept coupons, which are one of the most popular marketing and advertising strategies used by manufacturers and sellers to attract new customers. You are able to use them to buy items for free or half the price or get free shipping. They are also easy to find. There are even hundreds of websites offering them such as VoucherKing. It has the latest voucher codes from 1,000 of your favourite retailers in the UK like AbeBooks, Adidas, Accent Clothing, Barker and Stonehouse, Diesel, Fashion for Home, Papa John’s, Panasonic, The Body Shop etc. Their Debenhams Voucher codes include so many amazing deals.

Fashion Blunders That Men Make

 photo FITMAIN_zpseed87c7f.jpg

Let’s face it, when it comes to fashion men are still way behind to women. A lot of men still don’t care about how they dress up and prefer to put on a simple pair of jeans and T-shirt. Furthermore, men make fashion mistakes all the time. Some may be tolerable but others are plain outrageous. Shiny shirts and suits are better off hidden in the closet. Instead try a form fitting black shirt which can be worn with pants or jeans when you want to go clubbing. Another fashion faux pas is wearing socks with sandals. It just doesn’t look cool.

Many guys are sloppy dressers. Clothes that’re too loose fitting make you look like a street gangster. Shop for clothes that fit you perfectly and are flattering to the type of body you have. Another advice is to not wear uncomplimentary colors. The colors you wear should flatter your natural features such as your skin tone, eye color, and body shape. Remember to always keep your style simple and understated.

What better way to put together a fashionable wardrobe than to shop at Cockney Rebel Fashions. This family run business has been around for decades providing men with luxury designer brands of apparel, footwear, and accessories. Among the brands available are Adidas Originals, Barbour, Diesel Jeans, Fred Perry, Lacoste, Lyle & Scott Sportswear, Nicholas Deakins, Timberland, and Ted Baker Mens.

Their G Star T-shirts online are a must-have for men who want to keep it very casual but stylish. An example would be the G Star Palma Crew Neck Stripe T-Shirt which will go well with both denim and chinos. It has a grandad collar with 3 button fastening and a tonal pocket detail. The G Star Evens V Neck Logo T-Shirt on the other hand, is great during summer and has a photographic front print and chest pocket with printed G Star branding above it.

I hope you can understand me on that.

Maybe it’s really depend on what type or color of your sock is. And how comfortable your are wearing it. But on my own, I prefer to have it with shorts because I was in to shorts more than pants or jeans when it comes on my styling and fashion statements.

Also, girls can rock on this styling too as their fond of wearing it like on the photo on the top. Nope! kidding aside. Girls are can be good in this too, because I’ve also seen some girls even today( fall is approaching ) are wearing this socks with their shorts on. Sorry! I cant  find any photo of girls rocking on the soccer socks as their fashion statements.

So – yeah! Sport finds can be also use at some casual either in formal styling. All you have to do is to try to mix and match things for you to have a great styling that might most people looking forward to.

Okay, that will be all for now and I hope you can find this post quite informative and helpful on your end as you seek sorts of information about what’s hot and not today in the fashion industry.

Things to Remember When Shopping For Shoes

 photo reef_zps3dab375f.jpg

Shopping for quality shoes is not easy. It’s sometimes better to just buy something that’s branded and expensive because at least you know that it’s durable and of high quality. But what if you don’t have the money to buy pricey shoes? There are some things to remember to guide you through the process. Always try on the shoes you like first before you decide to buy them. Keep them on your feet and walk around for a few minutes to see how they feel. Be sure that they fit perfectly and you feel comfortable wearing them. Check if the shoes can be returned before buying them.

Purchase from a familiar brand that you’ve worn before when shopping online. This way you already know your accurate size. If you have to choose between leather and synthetic leathers, it’s a no brainer that you have to go with leather. They’re biodegradable and more durable. Always choose quality over quantity. A quality shoe with quality maintenance should last a long time. You shouldn’t worry too much about the cost since quality shoes look better, lasts longer, and are more repairable. Thus, they’re a better long term investment.

As for good dress shoes which men should have at least a pair of, the soles should be stitched not just glued to the bottom of the shoes, at least a quarter of an inch thick, and is made of leather. Also, the lining is made of high quality calfskin or natural leather not synthetic materials. If you want to have stylish and top quality leather shoes, shop at Reef. They have some really beautiful and interesting models to choose from like the Reef Eland. It has premium full grain leather upper with distressed and vintage finishes, leather outsole with rubber enforce strike area, and premium pig skin leather lining. Plus, it’s handcrafted in Brazil.

Another model that’s worth checking out is the Reef Bantu shoe, what with its premium leather full grain upper with distressed and vintage finishes, molded wax texture cushion insole, molded rubber swellular traction out sole, slammed cup sole construction, and EVA compounds for odor management on the insole, among its features. I’m sure I’ll also look good if I wear the Reef Spiniker Mid NB. It has Reef molded rubber swellular traction outsole, removable and washable insole for function and travel, odor management EVA insole, molded wax texture cushion insole, and die cut leather labels inlay on the outsole.
