Urban Wear Update

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 12:45:14 -0400

Drop your pants to halfway down to your knees and what do you have? Urban wear! Actually this is rather passe. Just when they started passing laws that prohibit men (boys) from wearing their pants so low to show their underwear, especially in high school a new fashion craze has hit the streets. The design came out of Los Angeles ghetto fashion and is rapidly being adopted by the underground fashion scene worldwide as being the most hip and the most hop of the hip hop. If you don't mind shelling out $400 for a pair of jeans or you can get your rich sugar daddy or rich cougar to buy you a pair, simply go down on Hollywood Blvd. and snatch up a pair of the new three-in-one-pants. If you can't afford to part with 4 large and you can't get someone to buy them for you , then you can either make these yourself or get a cheap sewing person to make them for you in their time off from the sweatshops where they work. Here is the construct. You need three pair of pants, preferably jeans, the ones that look cool when you wear them all by themselves. **End Summary** Topics: mens ties]]> mens fashion trends]]> mens silk ties]]> designer ties]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information on mens fashion Hendrik suggests you check out his blog titled Mens fashion trends at Mens-Ties.com

Guide to Fashionable Wallets

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:42:26 -0400

Imagine the scene. You are at a fine restaurant. You are dressed very nicely. Your date and you have already have a really great evening. It comes time to pay the bill and you bring something that looks like a rat-chewed, over-stuffed, barely held together stack of plastic and other things out of your pocket. Worse yet, when you look for your cheesy credit card that still has the picture of your ex-wife on the front of it, an accordion of photos of your nine kids from the four previous marriages cascades down to land in the remains of your desert. No matter what your stage of life., this is not the image you want to convey, especially on a first date. Men cannot carry purses. Male bags are so last century as to be an embarrassment for anyone to be seen carrying one or anyone else to be seen with anyone carrying one. By default then, everything ends up in the man's wallet. The average American male carries seven to nine credit cards in his wallet. Not to mention, the dozen or so customer reward cards, or movie rental cards, or membership cards to the gyms. Enough already! **End Summary** Topics: mens wallets]]> mens fashion]]> mens ties]]> ties-necktie.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl not only writes about fashion but he also manages several online fashion retailers including: Ties-necktie.com/ - a site for neckties and bow ties .

Vintage Fashion - A Guide to The Retro Look

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:42:26 -0400

It has always been true, that what was old is often once again new. That does not mean it works for everything. Some clothes needed to be discarded as a fashion disaster the day after they were first made. But for some items older pieces called "vintage" fit in very nicely with modern wardrobes. If you really want to make a fashion statement, find something that is about 40-50 years old but still in nice condition, that hopefully you will not have to pay a fortune to buy it. You may have to pay for it in the time hunting to find it in second hand stores, but hopefully you will not have to part with a lot of hard cash. That is the fun of vintage. Finding it is a treasure hunt. You will have to look through piles and piles of nonsense and mostly garbage to find that rare piece, but if you happen to find it, you will know it when you see it. Pray that it is any size bigger than you are when you first spot it. **End Summary** Topics: mens neckties]]> paisley ties]]> ties-necktie]]> mens fashion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl is the owner of Ties-necktie.com/ - a mens ties retailer that offers much more than just neckties but also fashion tips, necktie knot instructions, dress code advice, and more.

How to Choose the Proper Necktie

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:41:26 -0400

While you must wear a tie in business, there are other times when they should be worn too. Some family occasions require men to wear a tie, such as weddings and baptisms. A good rule to follow is if the family event is a majestic event a tie should be worn. That being said, milestone birthdays and anniversaries require a tie. This is considered proper etiquette, and is a sign of respect toward the host or hostess. When a man wears a necktie it gives him an immediate aura of self-confidence, and gives the appearance of being capable. It is proper to wear a tie when applying for a loan at the bank, or appointments with an attorney. Certainly, taking an important client out to dinner requires a tie. Wearing a tie for a romantic candlelight dinner is a definite plus; it shows your date you respect her, and care about her. Of course, you should wear a suitable necktie to a funeral. This is indeed a proper sign of respect toward the deceased and family. A dark color is preferred, with dark gray being perfect. In addition, a trip to the opera or theater requires a tie. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> mens ties]]> silk ties]]> mens-ties.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Neckties are Pohl's passion.

What is your Perfect Outfit?

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:41:20 -0400

When you go shopping, it is important that you understand which colors and designs are the ones that fit you better. It all depends on your body shape. Everybody is different, that is true. However, there are base bodies that are the most common. There are two main body shapes men have. The first one is the Overweight shape, normally found in people that are more than 30 lbs above their desired weight, and then we have the tall-skinny shape, which is very common in young people.

What Should Men wear on their First Date

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:38:13 -0400

Its your first date and your all out to impress that girl, check hair, check shoes, check nails, check clean clothes, check breath. How about checking what you intend wearing on your first date? Your ultimate aim is not to appear umkempt and ruffled. Neither should you appear too casual or too proper, making sure that your dess code is a mix of both these categories will help you win her heart over.

What is the Right way to Wear a Tuxedo

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:06:12 -0400

Dressing formally is not as hard as some people say it is. It is very hard for young people to have a good experience in this area as the only moments in which they have to wear a formal dress are reduced to a prom dance and probably weddings. So, it is very unlikely that someone could learn how to dress formally by doing it a couple of times per year. There are several things about tuxedos' history that make them so especial. They have been used for a lot of time now. So they are a mix of tradition, masculinity, and style. In the moment you wear a tuxedo, you are wearing hundreds of years of fashion evolution and history. Some icons like James Bond and other famous tuxedo wearers are the reason why some young people started using them more often. They are the perfect match for a formal party or a wedding. Today, tuxedos are worn less than they should. If you really want to look properly and respect the bases of etiquette that you should, then wearing a tuxedo more often is the solution. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> black tie dress code]]> black tie attire]]> mens ties]]> thetieking]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik is a writer on mens fashion.

Why a Good Tailor is Man's Best Friend

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:38:03 -0400

There once was an era when choosing a tailor was easy. When the time was right your father simply introduced you to his. Yet, this is from an age gone by. There just are not as many fine tailors as there used to be. When choosing a tailor the first step is to learn as much as you can about men's attire. Keep in mind, how you dress is how you are perceived. Naturally, it is preferred to be dressed in a manner that sends a signal of success and confidence. This is why it is vital to find a good tailor. Most men think they do not have the time or inclination to read up on men's fashion. Yet, when they do, they find a whole new world opens up. You start to become conscious of how your suit jackets fit, and how your pants look. Don't think for one minute people do not notice, because they do. If you want to be successful you must dress the part. If you dress in a sloppy manner, people will think of you that way. **End Summary** Topics: mens tailored clothes]]> bespoke clothing for men]]> mens ties]]> mens fashion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more fashion tips Hendrik suggests you check out his blog titled Mens Fashion Trends at his retailer specializing in Mens Ties .

What to Wear in Court

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:34:32 -0400

If you have the unlucky fortune to have to make an appearance in court to defend yourself against charges, please be aware that you will be judged as much upon your appearance as you are on the facts, especially if you are the accused and there is a jury trial. Trials with a jury are not as uncommon as you might think. For example being accused of a DUI in most states allows you to request a jury trial. Jurors are a group of 12 average people that are doing their duty to serve as a juror, but in their hearts they resent the whole idea of being there. If you come in to court late, dressed in your pajamas, with bad hair, don't expect jurors to be very sympathetic. If you are facing serious charges you need all the help you can get to have the jurors think something nice of you. At least you do want to add their unconscious disgust on top of the charges that you are accused of, by appearing in court poorly dressed. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> what to wear to court]]> mens ties]]> designer ties]]> silk neckties for men]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik is an avid writer about fashion and style.

Men's Clothes Ought to Fit Right and be Comfortable

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:33:18 -0400

Simply because you want to be well-dressed in the classic suit and tie does not mean you must be uncomfortable. After all, there is no law that states this. Yet, for many men dressing in an upscale manner needlessly causes distress. If the attire you are wearing is too tight, or just does not fit right a change is in order. You do not want to wear clothes that are too loose or too tight. You want clothes that fit you, period. Right or wrong, you are judged by the clothes you wear. Dress shabbily, and people will judge you as such. Wear well fitted suits, and you will be judged as a person of high character and ambition. Still, most men wear clothes that do not fit them correctly. This is because clothes sold on the rack are for one standard size, large. It is important to know what is meant by wearing clothes that fit. Clothes should be comfortable, but not loose. The proper way to wear pants is at the naval. While many young people wear their pants lower, this is not acceptable for business or for upscale occasions. **End Summary** Topics: mens black tie attire]]> mens fashion tips]]> bows-n-ties.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik likes to write about fashion.

When Men Should Wear a Sports Jacket

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:31:03 -0400

Knowing what to wear on a date, a party, or a meeting may seem like a dilemma. Yet, the classic sports jacket is your solution. If an event is formal, of course a suit is needed. Still, you want to look sharp at an informal event too. The sports coat fits this role very nicely. There was a time when men did not leave their homes without a jacket and tie. Indeed, the nineteenth century had men wearing tweed jackets when hunting the elusive fox on horseback. Sports coats became in vogue as a leisure coat between the world wars, and they remain in style today. The sports jacket's of today can be customized to suit the man's taste. You may opt to keep the classic skewed pockets and rear vent. Others may want only a side vent and slit pockets. Of course, many textures and colors are available, such as tweed, corduroy, flannel, and silk. The sports coat was and remains the perfect leisure jacket for men. There are many offices today that do not require men to wear suits or sports jackets. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> mens fashion blog]]> ties-necktie.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik is a writer about mens fashion.

Maliness and Beer - Why Men Drink Beer

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:03:21 -0400

There is one thing that can be said about beer and that is that it is an universal symbol of masculinity. Few men realize that there are over 10,000 beers in the world and it is the oldest fermented drink known to exist - all the way back to the ancient Egyptians. It was made even earlier than wine. Some ancient Egyptian guy probably messed up and forgot to rotate the stock of mead, some of it spoiled, began to ferment, and voila we had beer made from the lazy error! Whoever was the first guy to try to drink the stuff (fermented mead), our hats are off to him for having the courage. In modern times beer has become a symbol of nationalism. There is pride in the beer that guys drink and there are millions of advertising dollars spent to convince us of our choices. We recommend that you don't be a robot and just follow along as the pawn of the advertising conglomerates. They can spend millions to convince you that their particular brand is the only beer you need. But we say no to this false persuasion. **End Summary** Topics: mens designer ties]]> designer neckties]]> mens fashion]]> thetieking.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik is a writer on mens fashion.

Unkempt Accenting in Mens Fashion

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:21:19 -0400

There is a special technique of using a bit of an unkempt look to bring an edginess to a man's appearance. Some of the uses of this are wearing a shirt that is purposefully wrinkled, letting the beard grow in leaving a stubble, or having strategic rips in parts of the clothes. The idea is to put together a complete fashion look that shows there was thought put into it, and yet leaving a bit of rumples, rips, or the classic five o'clock shadow as an unkempt accent. The hair can be tousled for a similar effect. This unkempt accenting harkens back to the days when men were not supposed to be overly concerned about their looks and were too busy rabble rousing to pay much attention to how they looked. When a man looks great and at the same time appears to have some disregard about his appearance, he has more of that quintessential masculine appeal. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> mens fashion tips]]> mens style]]> ties-necktie]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik has written dozen of dress code tutorial for men.

Special Black Tie Occasions

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:34:21 -0400

A black tie night is something you have to remember. One of the keys to have good, memorable night with your couple is to wear the right apparel and dress exactly as they should. Some of us look better in different outfits than others. However, there is a base that states which are the best combinations for a black tie night. As a man, you can easily find everything to dress up for a special occasion, as black suits are normally very simple. The old etiquette states that black ties were only supposed to be used during the night or after 6 o'clock. This means that some time ago people never used a black tie during the day light. Modern etiquette says that there is no rule regarding the moment of the day in which men can use black ties. However, if you want to be very traditional and follow the black tie dress codes, then you have to only consider wearing a black tie during the night. There are some occasions in which it is almost imperative to wear a black tie. Operas: Some time ago, it was imperative to wear a tuxedo when going to an opera. **End Summary** Topics: mens black tie dress code]]> black tie attire for men]]> mensfashion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl has written hundreds of articles on mens fashion and style.

Men's Fashion - Stylish Clothes That Keep You Warm

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:40:20 -0400

Winter is the perfect space for entertaining with family, friends and relatives on the holidays, but it can also be an annoyance with all that cold season. Here, are some basic tips on how men can just stay warm in this winter while still looking stylish. One obvious but easy to use mix is layers - dress in lots of layers, so you have no chance of receiving cold. A couple of tees in matching colors with a sweater worn out over the top is not just actually close, but looks stylish. Sweaters are appropriate for keeping warm indoors, but for those frosty trips out into the frosty, you want some more protection, which is why a trendy wrap will do wonders for both your clothes and your body temperature. Go for quick jean worn over layers for a simple, sophisticated look that is resplendent with pants. Dark gene is typically favorable for winter and looks marvelous over a redneck. Or you can ask for a soft leather jacket that goes with essentially any outfit and will help you for many seasons to come. **End Summary** Topics: mens winter fashion]]> stylish mens winter clothing]]> mens ties]]> neckties]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl has written hundreds of articles on mens fashion and style.

Dressing to Overweight Man - How to Hide the Curves

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:20:14 -0400

Some curves are attractive. On most men curves are not attractive. Attractive curves are usually in the realm of the voluptuous female who has all the right curves in all the right places. Men are supposed to be more rigid, more well-defined. Definition does not come from soft curves, it comes from harsh lines. You can see this in the cartoon characters of men. Men are frequently drawn as cartoon characters that are shaped with squared features. The most popular cartoons currently all exhibit this property. "Sponge Boy Square Pants" even has "square" in his name. The creators are using a juxtaposition of the "softness" of a sponge with the maleness of being "square." This character is male however because he is wearing square pants. In "American Dad" the main character has the "squared jaw" that is a typical symbol of maleness. In "Family Guy" the one that expresses the squareness of the male character is Joe Swanson, even he is relegated to a wheel chair, he is still a cop, and he is very square in the male arena. **End Summary** Topics: mens fashion]]> mens ties]]> big mans fashion]]> big and tall fashion]]> extra long ties]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik has written many articles teaching big and tall men how to dress.

Fashion Lessons from the Sport of Soccer

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:16:21 -0400

Soccer is a game that is played by the incremental process, which means that there must be many players on the field and that they must all help to move the ball forward. Men's fashion is very similar in that there are the fashion runway presentations done in Paris, New York, and Tokyo, that try to set the fashion trends for the next season, yet never really have command of what actually happens in terms of what the average guy chooses to wear. The fashion designers may be very influential, they may, in total, be the source of all the new lines of clothes, but they are not the persons who make the final fashion choices. Those choices are made by real men when they go to the stores, try on, and buy from the latest trends that they appreciate. The reasons for this are runway fashion trends do not necessarily translate to all men wearing them without their acceptance. This is where the soccer metaphor comes into play - the soccer metaphor says that anyone on the field can play a part in the advancement of the ball towards the goal. **End Summary** Topics: soccer fashion]]> mens soccer]]> mens ties]]> mens fashion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl loves fashion and sports.

Vampire Fashion Tips

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:54:31 -0400

You would have to be dead or one of the undead not to have noticed that vampires have caught the imagination of the fashion starved youth. It all started when Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater became vampires hunks in the Vampire Diaries, set in New Orleans before it all got washed away in hurricane Katrina. Next came the Twilight Saga which had every female under 30 fighting for who was the hottest hunk on the show. And then we were all deluged with the plethora of television copy cats. Some reasonably good, some are like "whatever." The question is; how do you as an average guy get some of that vampire hottie action? First of all forget about the sun. Vampires do not like the sun, so a warm glowing surfer's tan will do nothing for you even if you are one of the lost boys. You need to be pale, like unbaked white bread, and you need to look muscular and a bit sickly at the same time. No self-respecting vampire is going to be on an infomercial selling a juice machine or the newest exercise contraption even if these shows only come on after midnight. **End Summary** Topics: vampire fashion]]> how to dress like a vampire]]> goth fashion]]> black ties]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pohl is a writer about mens fashion and style.

Guide to The Proper Fit for Mens Clothing

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:53:19 -0400

It seems like it goes without saying that clothes need to fit properly. Yet there are plenty of fashion trends that go against this rule, from over-sized baggy pants that fall down halfway to the knees, to undersized clothes that look like they shrunk in the wash. The trends to over-size or under-size come up from time to time but in general the most attractive looks are those where the clothes fit properly. It is unusual to find any clothes especially men's suits that come off the rack and fit properly. There is always the need for a bit of tailoring. If you can afford it, you will do best by having your suits custom made, but even if you have to make do with suitss bought off the rack, a good tailor can make all the alterations necessary so that your suit fits properly. There are some basic rules to follow. The jacket should fit smartly, in such a way that it helps to increase your posture, makes you feel the need to stand tall and proud, yet not fit so tightly that your movement is restricted. **End Summary** Topics: mens clothing]]> proper mens clothing fit]]> mens ties]]> how to tie a tie]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik has written dozen of guides on mens fashion, dress code, and style.

Understanding the Formal Dress Code

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:28:23 -0400

This is something that has evolved a lot with time. Men's fashion is always being edited by designers and demanding consumers. However, even if it is definitely evolving, the base dress code has been kept untouched over time. The only thing you have to do is understand what the event's invitation demands you to wear, and from there on, put together a good outfit for the activity. The most common formal dress codes are related to the time of the day the dress will be worn. So basically, there is a different dress code combination meant for every time of the day. When an invitation includes the phrase "Black tie optional" it means that the dress they expect is formal. If the event will take place during the daytime, people normally refer to this dress as "morning dress". This dress is normally made of black coats, or grey-white combinations. Sometimes they are worn by grooms in weddings. Formal, business' receptions also accept this style to be worn by people assisting, especially in Europe. These morning outfits normally include gloves when they are used in Europe. It is not very common to wear them in America though. **End Summary** Topics: formal dress codes for men]]> black tie dress code]]> white tie dress code]]> formal mens fashion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik has written dozens of dress code guides.

The Proper Way of Socks

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:12:17 -0400

Is there a proper way of socks? Most definitely so. Certain socks are supposed to be worn in certain places where other socks are not welcome. There are rules about these things. Who knows how all these rules got established, but we think they came about because most of them make sense. Here are some of the rules of the proper way of socks. There are certain colors that do not make good colors for socks. One color that is especially bad for socks is bright orange, with bright red following closely behind. There is really no occasion when you want your ankles to be covered by a material the same color as a construction warning cone. We also know of some places where they issue prison clothes in orange color including orange socks so that prisoners can easily be identified if they try to escape wearing those orange clothes and socks. There really isn't any place where it is appropriate to wear orange socks unless you are forced to be in those prisons and that is all you are allowed to wear. **End Summary** Topics: socks in fashion]]> mens dress socks]]> mens fashion]]> ties-necktie.com]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik likes to write about mens fashion.

Every man needs to have at least one white jacket as part of his wardrobe. This is almost as imperative as having a part of black dress shoes. This white jacket may be of various styles including the formal tuxedo jacket, the smoking jacket, the suit jacket, or even the casual sport jacket. If you can afford it, there is a good reason to have one of each. The white formal tuxedo jacket looks absolutely stunning when worn with formal black tuxedo pants and cummerbund. The white smoking jacket is a softer less formal look (think Hugh Hefner) for lounging around the house in style. The white suit jacket is so versatile that it can be worn as business formal as well as for business casual. The difference being the choice of shirt and whether or not the gentleman wears a tie. Dior has some interesting white suit jackets with black lapels. The white suit jacket worn with a darker colored shirt with wide lapels left partially unbuttoned was popularized by actor Don Johnson in the television series "Miami Vice" as super cool looking cop wear. **End Summary** Topics: mens white dinner jackets]]> smoking jackets]]> mens fashion]]> tie a tie]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Hendrik has written dozen of guides on mens fashion, dress code, and style.
