Feel cosy, warm and stylish wearing a scarf

As far as I have noticed, men are divided into those who wear scarves and those who don’t. Besides, the latter would never agree to wear it for love or money. They consider it to be too womanly and mistakenly believe that scarves cannot add anything good to their macho-image.

Scarves are not only a very practical piece of your wardrobe, they may also make you look more appealing to the opposite sex. Men, who wear scarves, usually leave an impression of a more sophisticated, intelligent and self-concerned person in comparison with those who despise them.

Scarves in variety of colors and sizes are part and parcel of modern trends and modern collections. They go into different combinations, are included into both, casual and office styles and are recognized and respected by all famous couturiers.

What you should know choosing a scarf for yourself:

Give preference to high quality fabric. Cashmere and lambs wool is popular and very comfortable. They will give you a pleasant feeling of warmth and prevent from any allergy caused by synthetic materials.

If you doubt what color to choose, you’d better prefer black, muted charcoal or other dark colors. They suit almost everybody, add some charm and elegance to your image and at the same time correspond to the other clothes you wear and do not make you too noticeable. (If you for some reason want to burst upon the eye, you may get a scarf with cartoon characters, wacky shapes, rainbow bright colors – modern fashion can satisfy all your most fanciful desires! But think, before you leap!!!)

Wouldn’t you like to change your attitude towards scarves? Several years on end scarves are an integral part of wardrobe of both sexes. And one means here not only their original function of bringing additional warmth, but adding some special appeal to your even everyday image!

Men’s Shirt’s History

Having discussed T-shirts, I couldn’t help writing about average men's shirts which have not lost their popularity in course of time. From an ordinary garment of utility they turned into a fashionable piece of clothes suitable for everybody and everywhere.

History knows different types, styles and colors of men’s shirts. The last considerable discovery in the fashion of men’s shirts was the appearance of polo shirt in the previous century. Polo shirt or “tennis shirt” was created by legendary French tennis player Rene Lacoste in 1929 as an alternative to special tennis attire typical for that time. Having included it into his Polo-collection, Ralph Lauren in the 1960-s made it popular to that extend that it became a standard category of clothing. It should be noted here, that in this time it has already lost its popularity among tennis-players.

Collarless shirts (known as “granddad shirts”) gained and retained their popularity throughout two centuries. In the twentieth century they saw many variations of styles, colors and different strata of society gave preference to them. Since 1950-1960-s (granddad shirts were popular with the first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru) they became to be worn by celebrities. Even now in different combinations they are suitable for both, festival clothing and casual wear.

Button-down shirts are also an important invention in the history of male’s fashion. But unfortunately no one knows exactly who and what caused their creation. Someone gives the first place in this matter to an American shirt manufacturer. He is said to have been inspired by an English polo match, in which players had their collars clipped down to avoid flapping in the wind. Other fashion experts say that it is all down to an anonymous inventor from New York, who tried to do something with the collar of his shirt in order it not to be bothered by the wind.
Today button-down shirts are worn in formal and casual occasions. They are available in different colors, with short or long sleeves and easily go into combination with jeans, classical men’s trousers, different belts etc.

As we see, the history of the men’s shirt’s development is rather long. Time dictates its own peculiarities which are sure to result in new fashion trends, thus, in appearance of new pieces of clothes or improvement of already existing ones. In any case, don’t hurry to get rid of your old shirt. It is likely to become the latest fashion soon!

Can’t do without a T-shirt?

It’s a matter of common knowledge, that T-shirts are one of the most popular pieces of clothes for the both sexes and all ages. It’s convenient, stylish and never boring because you can choose a T-shirt with different pictures, inscriptions etc. But very often we like some T-shirt, see the price, consider it ok (it’s not high) and by this new piece of our wardrobe. But it’s not quite right, ‘cause while choosing some clothes we should first of all take into consideration the quality of fabric. If a T-shirt is too cheap, don’t hurry to buy it – it is likely to be made from synthetic materials. Such clothes are sure not only to lose their attractive look pretty soon, they may also be dangerous for your skin, especially if you are amenable to some type of allergy. Besides the majority of synthetic fabrics do not allow your skin breath and do not absorb perspiration. That’s why if you sweat much, you are risking to catch a cold. So if you want to have a good, attractive and healthy look, don’t be economical and buy products of high quality.

T-shirts may also serve as a good present. That fact that they are worn almost by everybody makes T-shirts an excellent present for your friend, parent or even grandpa. The only thing you should know here – hobbies and interests of the person. Possessing this information, you can easily choose “the right” T-shirt which is sure to satisfy your friend’s or somebody else’s needs. Nowadays shops offer a great choice of T-shirts of different colors, sizes and design. Mind that we are choosing something of good quality! Such a present will serve longer and keep its original look (color and size are unlikely to change either) notwithstanding the number of washing.

Have problems with your necktie? Get rid of them now and forever!

It’s true that men’s neckties will never go out of fashion. It’s also true that for many males it is still a problem to tie their neckties. And it’s really a pity, because with the rich variety of neckties of today you can throw some new light on your image. You can choose different forms, colors etc. depending on your mood, profession and style.

Generally, there are 7 different kinds of knots which are Windsor, Half-Windsor, Small Knot, Four-In-Hand, Prince Albert, Cross Knot and Bow Tie. To tie the most popular necktie or knot you need to go through 4 steps and see whether it is convenient for you or not. We’ll learn to tie
Four-In-Hand knot and it is desirable that you should have a tie ready in order to accompany theses instructions with practice.

1. Lift up your shirt-collar and wrap the tie around the back of your neck. The big end of the tie should hang twice as long as the small end. If you are tall, however, the big end should be longer. Make this procedure comfortable for yourself by letting the big end hang closer to your right or left hand.
2. Wrap the big end around the small end twice and leave 1-2 inches below your neck. The big end should go over the small end first. Having wrapped the big end for the second time, push it through the back of the V-shape by the partially formed knot. Tuck the wide end of the tie through the front loop of the knot.
3. Tick the small and big ends under the knot until it is tight. Make to tight enough to be able to breath. Sliding the knot up to your neck, hold the small end of the tie.
4. Have a look at the length of your tie: the small end shouldn’t hang over the long one. If it is so, go through the procedure once again until you are satisfied with everything. Mind that at the beginning you’ll need more than one attempt. But don’t lose your heart – practice is the mother of wisdom.

For fashionable strong sex only

Hi, my name is Alex Loudermilk and I’ve opened this blog for those not indifferent males who do care what they wear and what they look like. I stick to the point that men as well as women should try to look their best not for somebody else’s sake, but for their own. It is psychologically proved that if a person likes his/her reflexion in the mirror, he/she is likely to feel more self-confident and target at an object with better results. Another problem which arises here is that very often men do not pay much attention to their appearance and as a result of this choose those clothes they should never wear. The main purpose of this blog is to keep you informed of all new products at the market of fashionable clothes for men. I’ll try to inform you of all modern tendencies and point out plusses and minuses of modern collections. Together we’ll find out what is good and what is bad for any occasion. Ready to answer your questions and take all your suggestions into consideration.
