September 15th, 2011

It can be hard to keep up, but don’t worry; we’ve checked out the hottest in men’s fashion trends for 2011 so you don’t have to do it yourself. One hot trend that’s emerging is floral patterns – these were all over the catwalk, everywhere from paisley shirts to louder flowery options and some great beach shorts, suggesting the designers are trying to alter the way men view fashion.

Of course, it wasn’t all about the feminine patterns on the 2011 catwalks. Another hot item for men is the blazer. These were particularly abundant in soft, block colors such as pale mauve, grey, green and blue, which are really versatile colors.

Wear it unzipped over a shirt for a laidback, ultra-hip look.

This may sound like one for the women, but trust us, it’s not. We’re not talking about tiny crops here, more like loose tees that are just a bit shorter than normal. These are really flattering if you’ve got a great set of abs to show off and are surprisingly. They’re most popular in block colors like black and white.

Another slightly surprising entry to the list of men’s fashion trends for 2011 is lace and other sheer clothes. Again, this may sound like something from the women’s catwalks, but worn in the right way, it can look great on men, too. Sheer shirts were especially popular and could be fantastic when worn on a summer vacation – they’d be really great for showing off your tan on the beach and are also brilliant for layering over other things, giving you plenty of options.

Basic Guide to Modern Mens Fashion

September 15th, 2011

You have probably experienced pain and discomfort at a dinner party resulting from uncomfortable clothes, and a supposedly fun night out turned into a night of discomfort. If this sounds familiar then this guide will help you find quality clothes, that are elegant, modern, yet at the same time comfortable and practical.

When it comes to fashion, be aware of the saying, ‘fashion knows no weather’. Fashion may indeed know no weather but you, the wearer, should consider the climate before buying or wearing certain clothing pieces. Comfort and looks must go together in men’s fashion. Comfort is especially important in extreme conditions. Summer is approaching and knowing how to pick clothes that are breathable and comfortable in high temperatures without sacrificing style and elegance is a trick that any man should know.

Before you spend money on new clothes as yourself a few questions. For example, if you wear a necktie each day to work and are planning on buying a new tie, then make sure you have shirts that will complement your new investment. Also, think about the sizing? Will your body type change? Are you planning on loosing a few pounds? If this is the case then avoid certain clothing pieces such as new pants or jackets until you reached your target figure. Instead invest in accessories like new shoes, dress socks, cufflinks, ties, sunglasses, a nice wristwatch, and so on. All these items will fit regardless of your weight.

Comfort and fit go hand in hand. When buying pants made sure to try them on. Walk around in them, sit down, run, do whatever you are planning on doing once you own them. Don’t be shy and/or lazy. Retailers have a dressing room for a reason. If you are buying online then make sure to check the return policy. Do they charge a restocking fee? How many days do you have to make a return? Do you have to pay for return shipping? All these things should be considered. » Read more: Basic Guide to Modern Mens Fashion
