Everybody loves courteous people, we – as in the collective global woman -love gentlemen out of question. One need to be good manner and be able to leave a good impression to others, which, frankly speaking, rely on how he is suiting up. There are always many good means to make a great appearance, and unfortunately, also many ways to ruin your appearance.

• Socks and sandals: they’re about as compatible as weddings and rain. So please avoid this disastrous combination at all costs. Pick a side, guys – either wear sandals or wear your socks with tennis shoes. We’re not digging that look at all.
• Step away from your teenage son’s closet; nice and slow and there won’t be any problems. You’re not his “bud” and you’re not 18 anymore; and that’s OK. Take the plunge – adulthood isn’t quite as bad as it seems. For a grown-up casual look, consider the Ralph Lauren Polo T-Shirt.

• Yeah, we’re impressed with the results from your five-days-a-week workout – but really, the tight tee-shirt isn’t necessary. We see it. You’re powerful. You’re strong. You’re the hero. Please – allow our imaginations a bit of fair play. A great tee that shows off your best features? Try the Classic D&G T-Shirt.

• No Novelty Allowed! That should be a sign in every man’s closet that has a penchant for novelty clothes (think flashing ties and tees with bow tie graphics).
• We’re all about those days that were made for wearing sweats. We live for them as much as you do. The kicker, though, is your insistence to wear the sweats complete with ketchup stains (or chocolate, beer…pick your stain). It doesn’t reveal a sexy devil-may-care attitude you’re hoping for; instead, it reveals a, “Hey? Wanna do my laundry?” approach. Instead, don this Abercrombie Fitch hoodies and you might just have volunteers to do your laundry before the day’s over.
• If it doesn’t fit, consider staying its lifetime sentence in your closet. Give it to charity or pass it on to a friend who can wear it.
• Let’s bring it full circle with another thought on socks – white sports socks not allowed with dress trousers! Not ever. Seriously – it’s a law. Somewhere. Casual pants like khakis or anything dressier requires the appropriate socks.
• To be a gentlemen, keep these tips in mind to suit up- with the solemn promise to never break them.

Somebody think that fashion is nothing more than just gorgeous appearance, especially fashion clothing. But the interior called the fabric plays an very important role here. That’s why suppliers often, in their product descriptions, provide the fabrics used by the design labels. Now it is a good time to provide a bit of insight as to what those fabrics are and other logistics associated with using them in men’s clothing.

• Cotton – Of course, this is the most commonly used material in not only men’s casual clothing, but casual clothing as a whole. It’s a readily available commodity, comfortable, easy to launder and breathable. It’s a can’t miss fabric that’s been used through the ages.
• Angora – What many may not be aware of is its origin from the angora rabbit. It’s most often combined with wool to lower the retail pricing, but it’s quite comfortable and luxurious feeling. It’s fluffy and can sometime shed. It’s most often found in gloves, scares and hats, but can sometimes be found in tailor-made suits.
• Barathea – This is indicative of silk or rayon combined with cotton or wool. It presents with a fine texture and “pebbled” surface. Most often found in men’s formal wear.
• Beaver cloth – This is a wool with a heavy nap that’s considered very warm wearing. It’s quite elegant and is usually chemically altered to ensure a glossy shine. Usually found in heavier winter coats.
• Camel Hair – As the name implies, it’s fiber from a camel and is usually blended with wool for additional softness.
• Flannel – Usually a combination of cotton and twill. It’s a hearty fabric that is used in cold weather. Quite popular with hunters.
• Canvas – Linen (yes, really) and cotton blend that’s used in some heavy winter coats used by fishermen and others who spend considerable time in the rough outdoors.

But enough to make a named fashion. Partly reshipped from: blog.micsourcing.com Author: izzy from Micsourcing.com

We all have some sort of cardigan in our closet, but this winter has welcomed the grey fashion into our lives. From cotton knits to double-breasted styles to hugely oversized- it seems geek chic has taken a new turn and found inspiration in our old grandpa who appears to be with his grey cardigan all through the winter. And now for the grey cardigan, matched with leggings, high-waisted jeans or even lace tights - the cardigan allows for huge layering potential - and this can often obliterate the need for a huge heavy winter coat. Strive to a grey awesome look. Or let yourself reminisce over your schooldays, by pairing knee socks with a more oversized style. Check out the piles of sweaters online or flea markets for an Abercrombie Fitch "grey" cardigan. [caption id="attachment_120" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Abercrombie Fitch Sweater"][/caption] It may be that no one will ever succeed in wearing the cardigan as well as our grandpa who stay in the yard all day long in quiet and peace, but winter is beckoning for us all to try this trend out. So, go for the old, or the oversized or both - just be sure to always do it grey way. Make your own style. Partly reshipped from: blog.micsourcing.com Author: izzy from Micsourcing.com

Let's make this clear that nobady would has problems with shirts, as I must admit I am a MASSIVE FAN of tees. But I am not one for formal shirts, the thick casual variety check shirts you can dress up or down for day or night are perfect in my eyes. Things to remember when you are on the look out for a check shirt are obviously quality and fit, but also bold patterns and colours. You can wear a bright bold red/blue combinations or more subtle black or white checks. Either way, they will make you stand out and look perfect with a dark pair of jeans and some boots. Personally when wearing a casual check shirt I would look to fold the sleeves up to give you that rugged manly look. Use a two fold technique where you fold the cuff back once and then fold the sleeve once more on top of that. If your shirt fits correctly, the sleeves should then stay folded just lower than your elbow. For those that like it just above the elbow (or sleeves are still not tight enough) PUSH the sleeve from the bottom of the fold to just above the elbow joint. Try not to fold again as it can damage the fibres within the shirt and cause it to become worn out too quickly. The same goes with rolling shirt sleeves up as well, as these small rolls cause tension and can make your sleeves fit incorrectly in the future. Remember you can dress the shirt up or down with the right accessories. If going for a casual look then layer up by adding a basic plain v-neck t-shirt underneath and wearing some comfort jeans with a pair of worker boots. This will give you that manly “manual worker effect” but also be very comfortable for day wear. When dressing up for a night out you might layer slightly differently with a plain chunky cardigan over the top or a nice leather jacket which should frame the shirt and contrast well with the bold pattern of the shirt underneath. Add a great pair of shoes and some slim fit jeans and you are good to go all night. What I love best about the check shirt is that it is a fashion statement all on it’s own. If you pick a bright colour combination and pattern then you do not need anything else for it to make people look at you. Take a look at some of my favourites from the current season below.
