Summer Beauty and Fashion Tips


Fashion trends today keep changing every season. And so you are here to read this article. Well probably this article is not to discuss the latest from Armani or Gabbana. The trends keep changing anyway. But there are few trends that haven't changed for quite some time and yet they are the latest. Have you ever considered them?

There are trends that have been set and we still follow them. Every one does that too - even the wildest of the designers. Have your ever seen a designer use only one shoe for his/her model, or probably half a necklace? Or why don't you ask them to give only one sock while you wear two shoes? These trends have been set and it will take ages to get out of this mind set too.

There have been the things that stay and stay. We generally use/sport them, but kind of ignore them.

Tried and Tested Methods - Are they boring?

Before you decide, read the last few sentences again. There are tried and tested methods and we will not do that. Even for the sake of looking different we wouldn't do that.

All in all, what I want to say is simple: Our trends depend not just on the kind of social circle that we have, but even on the environment we live on, the climates, the feel and more importantly how happy we are wearing something.

From the simple polo shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, jeans to suits and khakis, they are all there in our wardrobes. The trends, the latest fashions may only add a few jazzy colors, few logos and few statements. The trends change, but the base always remain


How to Wear Jeggings

With the return of super skinny jeans and leggings this past couple of years, it’s no wonder the jeggings were invented. Jeggings are basically exremely skinny jeans that look like leggings and are also worn like leggings.











I have to say that in the beginning I was not a fan of the skinny jean or the legging, but as time went on, I came to embrace both, and now, it seems like I can’t even wear any other types of jeans but skinny. The problem with these slim types of bottoms is that they’re hard to dress. And jeggings especially, can be a little tricky.


A Few Thumb Rules

First off, make sure jeggings suit your body type. If you don’t feel comfortable in them, don’t wear them – no one’s going to shun you for it!! Second, pick a dark pair that will go with everything from a basic tank to a sweater dress. Also, black slims you down so that’s always a plus. If you’re on the short side, you may want to get a petite pair as a regular pair of jeggings might run a little too long, and there’s nothing worse than 2 feet of bunched up jeans at the bottom.

So What Exactly Can You Wear Jeggings With?










Jeggings are actually quite versatile, and I feel they do a better job than skinny jeans or leggings would. Because they’re still denim material, you don’t have to cover your butt, but they’re so slim and skin-tight like leggings that you can wear a long sweater or tee, a dress, or just throw a long cardigan over.

I love wearing leggings with a pair of chunky heels, a long sweater and a scarf. Add a big tote to that, and you’re set for the day. So if you’re heading to the mall this week, make sure to pick up a pair of jeggings: it’s all you’ll need!

Men's Fashion 2010



Fashion trends change every season, including in menswear. While it is untrue that clothes make the man, but a person attire do make significant difference to him, especially when it comes to putting together the right outfits for right occasions. The men fashion trends depend not only on the kind of social circle we belong to, but also on the environment we live in and the climate. But being fashionable does not mean that we have to buy all the designers' hottest items, that I mentioned previously.


From the simple polo shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets to jeans to suits, they are all there in every man's wardrobe, the only change in latest trends may only be few new funky colors and few statements. The trends change, but the basics always remain. So let look how we move on from here. The first step is to play with colors in your primary garments. For office wear, many men tend to choose black and white outfits, because these colors are simple, classic and "safe", but life is not about black and white.

Even though you insist on wearing black, you can add something else or other colors like navy blue, light gray an even purple. Besides wearing a suit or blazer, you can opt for cardigans, which have been popular for a few seasons. Pair a retro-style cardigan over a button-down shirt and tailored pants. For a more casual look, a polo shirt is the best choice, topping the list of shirts. Wear a polo shirt with jeans, or match it with zip-up or hooded jackets.







Jeans are the all-time favorite for just about everybody. One current trend among urban hipsters and young fashionist are skinny jeans, that I talked about previously. Man should walk out of comfort zone, and try out new colors, not only on clothing, but also shoes. try to get some outstanding colors shoes for casual occasions, One last thing is tote bags. You can always opt for a tote bag for casual occasions. Tote bags may be a rather new concept for most men because they're more similar to women's bags. But the fact is there are many manly tote bags now. So don't be shy about using one. The important thing is to use your creativity to mix up things to get what you want. And if you have yet to understand the current trend, just keep it simple.

Bows and Ties Fashion


Great Looking Neckties for the Navy Blue Suit

Dark navy blue is one of the most popular colors on a mens suit. It is a color that looks excellent in any season and can be conservative as well as contemporary and modern. What makes one suit more "stylish" than another is the fabric pattern and the cut. Generally speaking, a 2-button jacket is more conservative than a 3-button or even the 4-button jacket style. Also, solid fabric patterns are more conservative than pin-stripes or Birdseye pattern. Herringbone and check patterns can be traditional as well as modern - depending on the fabric weave. Below are three tie choices that will pair well with the navy suit. We picked three ties that perfectly complement three different looks: Conservative, Modern, and Traditional.

The Traditional Look

This tie is a perfect choice for those who value tradition and are seeking a sophisticated, and slightly conservative look. The classic diagonal striped pattern alternates between yellow and navy-blue. A thin, slightly off-white line is woven in between each of the thicker stripes - emphasizing contrast and adding a more sophisticated touch. The traditional look of this tie is complemented by a finely ribbed textured fabric weave and a very unique fabric known as Mogador. Mogador is a blend between silk and cotton. It has a matte shine and slightly stiffer feel. We like to pair this tie with a solid navy blue, 2-button cut suit, and a white dress shirt made from oxford cloth that has a button down collar style.

Conservative & Classy


Colors and patterns make one tie more conservative than another. The plainer the tie and more muted the colors, the more conservative it will appear. Even though a conservative tie will be a little understated and will draw less attention to the ensemble, it can still be a very elegant way to accessorize the navy blue suit. This tie on the left is a perfect example. It appears to be patternless from the distance but a closer look reveals a beautiful polka dot pattern that is created by a unique weaving technique using one burgundy colored silk yarn. Besides adding a more intricate touch to the tie, this pattern adds a more textured look - adding thickness to the fabric and a rich shine. We like to pair this tie with a navy blue, window-pane checkered suit and solid white dress shirt. For more information please click the picture on the left

Modern & Bold


Looking for a fashionable tie that you can wear with the navy blue suit? Then this pink floral patterned necktie will be the perfect choice. The floral design in white, lavender, and pink is woven into a rose-pink background. Because there is so much happening on this tie we suggest to pair it with a solid white dress shirt and a modern navy blue suit. Best is the 3-button, Italian-cut suit with a very fine pin-striped pattern. This outfit can be paired with brown as well as black dress shoes. Regardless of what color shoes you choose, make sure that the color matches the belt and briefcase. For more info on this tie by Chevalier, please click the picture on the left.
