Summer Fashion Advice and Tips For Men

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Now that summer is here it’s time to give your wardrobe a new look. Are you wearing the hottest trends in summer clothing? If not, here are some ideas for you.

This summer, there’s a perfect trendy outfit that works well for everyday wear – the casual fitted blazer worn over a light-colored, short-sleeved button-down shirt. A great look to wear with jeans is the navy blue blazer or khaki blazer. And for a truly relaxed, comfortable style, you can push up the sleeves of the blazer a few inches.

In place of a stifling tie, men are opting for a short scarf tied around the neck and tucked into a button down shirt. This is a cool and more relaxed option for making an outfit a bit more dressed up. It can be a good option if you don’t feel like wearing a tie.Vests, dressy formal looking vests paired with fitted t-shirts and jeans are a great summer look for men. The combination of casual gear and a more formal vest gives an impression of relaxed elegance. Vests should be worn with the buttons open for this look, and can even be combined with cargo shorts when the weather gets hot. Light, and bright colors make this look one that is ideal for nearly every man.

Another fashionable hot weather style that brings out the best in formal and casual looks involves the simple dress shirt. Instead of buttoning the shirt up to the neck and down to the wrists, leave a few buttons undone at the neck and roll up the sleeves. When the temperature hits triple digits, combine a dress shirt with some nice-looking shorts and flip-flops. The formal look of the shirt makes an interesting and attractive contrast with shorts, jeans, or casual pants.

White is making a return as the color of summer for men’s fashions. For another trendy look, wear white cotton trousers, flip-flops, and a sailor
shirt with blue and white stripes. Sailor stripes are definitely in this summer, and they always look best when paired with white, so use variations of this style when you’re going out at night. A sailor shirt looks great with a navy blue or white blazer, and cotton trousers in white or navy blue. Using these pieces, you have plenty of combinations to experiment with.

Now that you know what you need get shopping. By shopping online and taking advantage of sales and exclusive online offers, you can be ready to hit the town in your new wardrobe this weekend!

Fashion For Spring Breaks

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Spring is a time of renewal and making a resolution to yourself for the coming year. This time of the year can also often feel a little depressing and empty as we wait for the new life to emerge from the ground. So now is a good time to plan a spring break and along with that plan and new wardrobe to take on the spring break with you.

Spring break has lots of different meanings – in the USA it equates to lots of university students going a bit wild and stripping off in the spring sunshine –

Spring Break in this article doesn’t mean that!

The kind of break we are talking about here is the sort where you escape from the doldrums of the grey winter at home and find yourself in a new space. It could mean going to a winter venue and tramping in snow on the mountains, escaping to a warmer climate or just renting a cottage in the country. It is all about breaking away from the day-to-day routine and being inspired by the countryside around us.

By taking a spring break you are giving yourself time to re-evaluate yourself and your wardrobe.

There are lots of new clothes emerging from the cocoon of winter. It is a great time to shake off the winter clothes and your winter ideals and to start a new you! Look at earthy colours with a hint of brightness to pull your outfit out of the winter bleakness. There are some fantastic clothes which involve bright pinks and greens to liven up your spring wardrobe. Also think about layering – this is a great way to add colour to an outfit and also makes sense in spring when it can be a bit colder.
There are a great range of scarves and accessories which can add colour to winter outfits and change an outfit from winter to spring. There are fantastic pieces of jewellery which can add sophistication to an outfit or just some great designs for new clothes that will update and transform your wardrobe.

So why not get your clothes out of your wardrobe now – have a long look at them and plan a spring break. Whether it is a walking holiday in the Cotswolds, a trip to Madeira to sample the wine or a wintersports holiday in the alps you will need to work out what to wear.
