Man Fashion: D&G SS 2011 Ads Campaign

We simply adore it while marketing campaign pictures apparently just leak online!



However will they really get leaked out because those are desperate to find out these or perhaps could it be just about all sort of a larger strategy which fashion houses ought to develop a buzz around these fresh marketing campaign?Oh well, in any case we all continue to love all of them!





This fresh new men's clothing Dolce & Gabbana promotion for the Spring /Summer 2011 collection just as before sticking with the same sexual masculine idea which produced their brand name a household name. This campaign features pretty much identical models ,Noah Mills and Sam Webb, together with the fascinating add-on of Madonna's Erotica toy boy ,Tony Ward,seriously it was about time.



Of course the particular innovative direction oozes sex & italian stallion masculinity as the hard working boys are returning all sweaty,tanned, rugged and exhausted.If perhaps all of us did not realize that the campaign had been shot in New York in a facilities by Steven Meisel .



What do you think about this campaign?

Man Fashion: Dress To Impress Part 2

This is in fact got nothing in connection with our earlier post on Were You Dress to Impress?. We just came across a very interesting post from AWJ, particularly on fashion dress code.



First impressions count. This is particular message Swiss bank UBS AG is actually posting their Swiss retail banking staff members with a 43-page code dispensing suggestions about the way to impress customers by using a polished look.



Echoing rules applied at Swiss boarding schools, UBS's guidelines exceed a list of dress "do's" and "don'ts" by providing hygiene as well as grooming guidelines often filled with aphorisms worthy of design as well as magazines on beauty.



The move is definitely an aspect associated with a test UBS is performing in Switzerland throughout 5 preliminary branches. It follows a recent marketing campaign geared towards re-establishing self-confidence within the Swiss bank's brand and restoring relations with customers.



The UBS Dress Code: Do's and Don'ts





Do's


For women:





Wear your jacket buttoned.

When sitting, the buttons should be unfastened.

Make sure to touch up hair regrowth regularly if you color your hair.



For men:

- Store your suit on a large hanger with rounded shoulders to preserve the shape of the garment.

- Schedule barber appointments every four weeks to maintain your haircut shape.



Don'ts (Seems to apply to both men and women)

Eating garlic and onions

Smoking or spending time in smoke-filled places

Wearing short-sleeved shirts or cuff links

Wearing socks that are too short, showing your skin while sitting

Allowing underwear to be seen

Touching up perfume during or after lunch break

Using tie knots that don't match your face shape and/or body shape



Are all these fair enough? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section.

Man Fashion Tips: Buying clothes for your plus size girlfriend

If you guys are thinking of getting your ladies great plus size fashion this Christmas, but don’t know where to start, then don’t worry because help is at hand. Here’s your guide to keeping it simple this festive season.





Size is everything!

First things first, you need to know her size before you take to the shops. Some women have one size for the top and another for the bottom, so subtly try asking her for these. There’s no point going to the store without her measurements and there’s nothing worse than coming back with an outfit too small, or heaven forbid, too big!



Keep them figure-hugging and curvalious!

If you’re thinking of buying your Missus a dress this winter or one of those funky, in-trend Christmas jumpers, then make sure you keep her fabulous curves in mind. Buy a dress that nips in at the waist and why not go that bit further and get a glamorous belt –she’ll love you for being thoughtful.





One thing that every girl loves!

Shoes! A safe bet, no matter what her size or shape. If you buy her a pair of shiny sparkly heels, then you can’t wrong. Note, this doesn’t include slippers!

Man Fashion: Common Silly Mistakes to Avoid in Mens Fashion

Some of us always been classified as special group of human being that are less fashion conscious by our opposite sex (except minority). Whether we like this statement or not, we do find some of the silly fashion mistakes that made by most of the men on the street. So we thought like share out just few with some of the readers here.









Novelty Tie? Come on, Pianos or guitars should never be depicted on a tie. We know Christmas is at the corner, but try to avoid anything with festive tag on to it.



Watch out for trousers! never be too short or too long. Rule of thumb is to rest hemlines of trousers on the laces of your shoes.



Do you still notice some suit with label on sleeve? Remove this unecessary label from the blazer of your suit immediately. We are not full models for fashion designers, we should be judge by the look and style, not by the brand! :)




Watch out for our next review on common silly mistakes in men fashion.

5 Ways for Men to Dress Slimmer

Larger guys can easily give the impression of being much thinner than they are, simply by wearing certain clothes.

And the Jacamo large mens clothing range has plenty of items to choose from that will result in a genuinely slimming effect.


  Here are 5 tips to help you choose the right Jacamo plus size mens clothing.


1.       Stripes


There is a golden rule with wearing stripes... Horizontal: No. Vertical: Yes.


Vertical stripes will make your silhouette look longer and slimmer.


Horizontal stripes, however, will have the opposite effect and make anyone look larger than they are...


2.       Jackets


A single-breasted jacket will make you look far slimmer than a double-breasted one; this is because people’s eyes will automatically focus on the centre point.


Also, try to avoid jackets or blazers that are double-vented as this will draw unnecessary attention to your bottom!


3.       Sizes


NEVER try and squeeze into a size that is too small!


Wearing clothing that is overly tight will look terrible and you will feel very self-conscious.


4.       Belts


Belts are a very important accessory!


You should always wear one as it will hold your waistline and ensure that your trousers hang correctly!


5.       Colours


Wearing contrasting colours will immediately draw attention to the joins between your clothes, i.e. your stomach... 


Stick to shades that are more similar to one another.





How to Wear Mens Trainers....Properly!

At one time, mens trainers would only be worn in the gym, but not anymore. Everyone is fully aware of how

comfortable this type of footwear is and trainers are now seen wherever we go. But of course, it isn’t just

about comfort... if you are going to wear a pair of trainers, then you will want them to look good as well. Here

are a few bits of advice to help you to get it right and to avoid an unpleasant run-in with the Fashion Police...




Classics are Good!

Classic mens trainers will go with just about any type of clothing, so they are always a very safe choice.



A basic, single-coloured design, such as the Converse lace-up, will look great with oodles of different

garments; right from jeans or Chinos to pressed or tailor-made trousers.



Watch Out For ‘Hybrids’!!!

In sci-fi movies, alien/human hybrids should normally be avoided at all costs. They are ugly, horrid and intent

on taking us all over! Well, it is pretty much the same situation in the world of footwear; except perhaps, that

hybrid trainers are not normally intent on world domination...



Seriously though, clunky genetically modified cross-bred mens trainers really aren’t cool. In fact, they will

often look downright geeky. It is advisable to completely avoid this type of footwear.



‘(Don’t) Sock it to me Baby!’

Visible Socks + Mens Trainers = Uber Bad Move. If you do need to wear socks with your trainers, then invest in a pair of low-cut ones. This will mean that your feet will remain comfortable and sweat-free without causing any insult to the more ‘style conscious’.



After all, some of us have principles...



‘Roll Up! Roll Up!’

If (and only if) you can wear your mens trainers without any offensive socks on show, then you will be able to

take your image a step further (excuse the pun)...



Try donning a pair of cropped trousers (or rolling up the bottoms of your jeans) to draw greater attention to

your trendy pumps! By creating a hem that reveals a small amount of ankle, you will give a tailored silhouette

to your trainers, making them stand out (sorry, another pun) even more!



Shelling Out on the Wrong Clothes...

In the world of stylish footwear, there is only one other crime that is equally heinous to having visible socks...

and this is wearing your mens trainers with a shell-suit. You may find it amusing to think of someone dressed

in this manner, but it really isn’t a laughing matter. Shell-suits were the thing to wear with a pair of trainers at

one time (as unbelievable as this may seem), but thankfully we have now moved on.



If you are ever unfortunate enough to have a brush with anyone wearing this ridiculous type of outfit, then it

can have a genuinely detrimental effect on your day. So always choose your clothes wisely and try to have a

little respect for other people!

Man Fashion: Trendy Mens Winter Coats Report

There’s just something about cold weather and a well-made coat that makes a man look sexy. We are sure you know the reason why  the right coat gives a man bulk – which makes him look powerful on a subconscious level.



We never write about winter coat in the past, not that we can recall. But we do receive some e-mails on this and we thoughts is best we share some of our thoughts with our readers here. As with all fashion, however, there are Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to winter coat fashions, we will not going to touch on this as we believe there are some bloggers given a very good advices. But our rule of thumb is go for true and natural, but there are men who can get away with something out of the ordinary.



Today we’re going to take a look at our 3 favorite styles of mens winter coats.





Classic Navy Pea Coat / Reefer Jacket



This is our favorite, started from Europe, or to be precise, European sailors and this are very well received in both Europe and US now. You can find them with affordable price range. Most fashion designers have their series of pea coats. We still stick to Armani, which make a lovely nice cut with superior material.





Beside, wool, you might find similar designs with leather or suede. In our opinion, we have seen all kinds of men wear pea coats on the street, but we yet to see any silly on anyone. Businessmen or students, this jacket really goes well with any style from jeans to dress slacks, boots to oxfords.



Go for what color? the best colors choices are black, navy and charcoal. But you can go for red if you really find this match you well. :)



Traditional Sheepskin / Shearling



We are sure some of you might have one of this. Very common in US. We find them look good on everyone, be it student or yuppies. They usually come in natural or chocolate, and both look fantastic, especially when they come to the mid-thigh.



The only drawback, this shearling jacket is really warm, and so we suggest you only wear this when it's really cold weather out there.



Leather Bomber Jacket



WOW!! another favorite, we're sure Tom Cruise in Top Gun had some influence on our fashion sense, do you agree? Originally created for pilots, which eventually became part of popular culture and apparel. These always come in several styles, such as A-1, G-1 and G-2. If you ask us, we always find G-2 is the smarter choice!





They come in a variety of colors, but what our recommendation? Yes, black or very dark brown. Try to avoid a bomber that has too much elastic at the waist and arms. I think they look best without, as you can recalled from Top Gun movie. But we think the elastic probably serves some purpose for a true pilot but we are talking about fashion here, so this elastic will only minus point rather than add fashion sense to us.



So that’s our winter coat advice. In short, we always find most mens winter coats look goods on you as long as they are simple and of good quality material.

Man Skin Care: Why Ingredients in Moisturizing Soap is so Important?

Showering has become a normal routine for most of us in this part of the world. Every day we wake up, brush our teeth, jump in the shower and get ready for our busy day. This is a habit we have grown up with and will continue for many years to come.



When we shower we usually use some bath and body products. We have shampoo for our hair and a form of soap for our skin and body. But how many of us have really spent time to read and understand what are the ingredients used in these products?





Most of us clean ourselves with bath soaps or shower gel. We use them everyday to wash and clean off our body during shower. However, soap or shower gel can do a lot more than just clean off dirt. In fact, our daily soap affects your skin. It can dry it out, or add moisture. There's why alot of companies design special moisturizing soap or shower gel to help with skin issues, such as body acne or dry skin issues that bothering most of us here.



The important thing when looking at bath and body products is to understand that all of those ingredients are being absorbed in to your skin, so when purchasing your soap or shower gel, it is always important to pay attention to the what's main ingredients are. Some will contain a lot of chemicals that can potentially irritate the skin or dry it out. Since everything is absorbed that you put on your skin, you will also be absorbing those chemicals in to your body.



That is why organic moisturizing soap or shower gel use full natural ingredients. Our skin does much better when chemicals are not involved. It also the reason why organic products are so well received in recent years.





So start to read the main ingredients of your moisturizing soap or shower gel today, and do some research to understand these ingredients that you are applying on your skin everyday will definitely help you to prevent any potential skin diseases.

Man Fashion Skin Care: Product of the Week

If you wake up one day and realize there is a line of wrinkles on you face, you could probably don't bother much about it. But hang on, why leave this unattended if you have the chance to take good care of your skin right now? Yes, I have tested the the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle &UV Damage Corrector for a month now and the results is just amazing. Our skin is exposed to constant aggressors from sun exposure to stress to pollution which deteriorate collagen and elastin which over time produces those lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and can reduced skin clarity.





The Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector is an easily absorbed affair, termed ‘de-ageing serum’, formulated to work day and night to reduce the appearance of those lines and wrinkles, and repair and help prevent UV damage with results similar to an (expensive) dermatological laser treatment. Clinique advise using three drops twice a day, courtesy of the syringe-like dispenser and in 12 weeks, you should achieve 63% of the visible wrinkle reducing power of a laser – not bad considering the extortionate cost of laser treatment!



The serum address 3 main areas of concern:



VISIBLY REPAIRS UV DAMAGE



UV is still one of the leading causes of accelerated ageing. Harmful rays penetrate deeply into skin causing direct damage to cellular DNA and distortions in the skin’s regeneration process, and indirect damage from the release of free radicals. The visible results of sun damage include: breakdown of collagen, uneven skin texture and the early appearance of lines and wrinkles, the “solar scars” that are the noticeable proof of collagen loss from extended UV exposure.



A potent blend of three patented repair enzymes encapsulated in a liposome delivery system work to help visibly reverse UV damage and mend “solar scars.” This technology represents 20 years of clinical study into molecular delivery systems and aids penetration deep within the surface of the skin to dramatically revitalise the appearance of photo ageing.



  • Micrococcus Luteus (Ultrasomes V) – these liposomes work best at night to intensify the skin’s ability to visibly repair sun-inflicted damage from UVB rays.

  •  Photolyase Fermentate (Photosomes V) – absorbs visible light to promote natural cellular repair, working efficiently during daylight hours, to improve the appearance of sun damaged skin over time.

  •  OGG-1 Fermentate (Roxisomes) – derived from the mustard plant, protects cells from oxidative damage resulting from UV and intrinsic ageing.



WRINKLE REDUCING POLYPEPTIDE TECHNOLOGY





A high-level peptide complex boosts natural collagen production and helps maintain existing natural collagen with essential ingredients. Skin becomes more firm, and the appearance of lines and wrinkles is diminished. Targeted for application around the entire face and especially the delicate eye area, it works to help reverse one of the most visible signs of ageing by effectively smoothing and softening the appearance of eye creases.



  • Whey Protein – a natural, amino acid rich, polypeptide helps skin look and feel more firm and resilient while minimising the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

  • Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) – helps to plump the skin and increase natural collagen production, resulting in firm skin and minimised appearance of lines and wrinkles.

  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 – this bio-peptide helps prompt natural collagen production.



FREE RADICAL PROTECTION





Additionally, a cocktail of ingredients work to protect skin by helping to fight free radicals from environmental aggressors and to prevent future damage to the skin.



  • Vitamin C and E (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate and Tocopheryl Acetate) – provide antioxidant protection from free radicals induced by UV.

  • Ergothioneine – this naturally occurring amino acid is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect skin from environmental aggressors. Works with Vitamin C and E, helping to provide balance to the skin and helping to re-activate each other.

  • Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Juice Extract – contains Ellagic Acid to help protect the skin and defend the skin against visible damage.

We know all the above technical terms sound complicated, but for simplicity, we always look at the end results. For the matter of fact, it's work!! That's simple. :)

If you have not clear your wardrobe, it is time to do it this weekend. We don't mean to keep all your summer clothing aside, but try to avoid your beach casual wear like board shorts, Cargo pants, sandals or leather flip-flops.

2. Don't Overdo with Accessories

We are sure some of you love accessories, especially those accessories that you wear during summer time. Perhaps a merino wool or cashmere scarf is what you need, as many scarves that offered in the market are made of lower grade, which is not comfortable if wear for long hours. Sunglasses is the only piece of accessory that you could probably want to keep in your wardrobe. Hey!! How about one compact umbrella that to carry along during this raining season?

3. Avoid Bright Colors Combo

Khaki, white and blue are never fail. Invest in a piece of cool khaki blazer is definitely worth the investment. This color combo really able to give a new life of your own in this fall.







4. Is time to Get a New Haircut

Even if you're not the best-looking guy in the world, but you can still pull off a good look if you get yoursefl a new haircut, this will give you a new fresh look in this fall to your outside friends. The best hairstyle that we recommend is still short messy haircut. What do you think?



5.Keep Your Sleeveless T-Shirt

Please keep your sleeveless t-shirt away, or the best is to keep one or two pieces to match with your new turtle neck or v-neck sweaters, but never over do it.



Whatever styles you go for in this fall, it's important to go with the style that you feel comfortable and confident. Experiment with different clothing combination to get a look that makes you look and feel great. Do not follow fashion trends if they make you feel uneasy. Our belief in fashion is always about comfort and style. Do you think so?

Another best way to scan through fashion magazines, which you could get some ideas how the models match these designer watches with their clothing on.

There are replicas dealers out there who always made their products appear to be genuine, so always buy from reputable or authorized dealers only. One of the way to differentiate between genuine and fake is designer watch should come in its original signature box, with instruction booklet, international guarantee, and often with a certificate of authenticity.

Man Fashion: Large Mens Clothing Trends

Nowadays, there are various fashion stores in the cities that exclusively deal with plus size clothing. Tall and big men no longer return to their homes frustrated and empty-handed after a shopping spree. Plus size men no longer have to wear short pants that expose their ankles or shirts that cannot be tucked in. They also do not have to put up with those embracing moments when their shirts could not be buttoned.





Moreover, plus size and tall men had to part away with a few more dollars to buy their clothing from the few specialty stores. Their clothes were rare and thus categorized as ‘special’. This gave such stores the right to unscrupulously demand for more money. In fact some shops required plus size and tall men to book and order clothes before visiting the stores. Thanks to the plethora of large mens clothing, today they are available at affordable prices. Tall and big men can now comfortable shop for clothes within their budget limits.





Men have aggressively embraced fashion to attain an identity in recent years that clearly defines their sense of style. They want to uplift their confidence and emanate an appealing image which contributes to emulation of a positive career and personality impact.

Man Fashion: Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 Final Round Up Part II

Continue from our previous post, here is our second review, Raf Simon's as well as Jean Paul Gaultier's mens fashion design in the recent Paris Fashion Week.





Raf Simons

The snazzy appeal of what we have yet to see was captured by Raf Simons on his SS 2011 Collection. A play of zippers, strings and waist bands is a refreshing take on the usual black and white canvas that is ultimately Spring and Summer in itself. Flowy pants and touch of orange, pastel green and a couple of yellowand black prints make for a sophisticated balance for the laid-back aura that the collection embodies.





Solid white and black vests and jackets are also a part of the ensemble. Skinny white shorts make for a casual street appeal that does not scream attention, yet commands simple amusement. Latex has played a relative part on some pieces, putting form and reaffirming the masculinity to the soft fabrics and asymmetrical, bold cuts.



Jean Paul Gaultier

Color, intricate prints and 3-D glasses helped Jean-Paul Gaultier with his collection this year. Once again, he has broken down the usual sights and pushed the edges of the Spring/Summer collection. Jean-Paul Gaultier did not disappoint with his futuristic prints on soft fabric and black and white base. Suits are well-defined with stripes and prints that spell ingenuity and intelligence. Blues and browns strengthen the already bold cuts, while white on black prints eases up the ensemble.





Peep-toed string sandals on jumpsuit and shorts,  beret and silver necklaces, denim and knits, and some hard-looking street-smart leather and latex affairs give the collection a bit of everything you may want for whatever adventures you may have this Summer.

Man Fashion: Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 Round Up

What else can all of us be excited about in this summer but the Paris Fashion Week? With the long line of models and enthusiasts, the Paris Fashion Week – Spring/Summer 2011 Collection has caught my eyes and those of many others looking for a different take on things. Let walk through our favorite men fashion designers in this Paris Fashion Week.



 Yohji Yamamoto - Y3

Another collection which has caught my attention is that of Yohji Yamamoto’s. Straight cut suits from intricate floral prints may not be so much of a breakthrough for Spring/Summer collection, but landscape and geometrical prints on suits, shorts and shoes are enough to make me take a closer look. Paired with neutral shades of gray, black and blue, they make up a statement made for the runway.





Flat-top hats and knee-length cropped soft pants remind me of Alice’s mad hatter, taking me to another place as other pieces bring me to another time. Shorts and knee-length socks, ruffled tops and buckles on shoes make the collection a wearable one, contrastingly allowing the runway into the streets.



Man Fashion: Summer Office Styles

Spring is definitely over and summer is where we are now. You want to stay cool at work, and you’re not just thinking temperature. If you’re not working at Microsoft, Google, or any of the big tech companies, chances are you don’t get the luxuries of wearing whatever you want. So how can you stay cool in the hot sun without being in the hot seat? Below are some pointers to get you started, and examples on how to use these guidelines to work for you.





Think about fabric: Pima cotton is breathable, versatile for all season, and has outstanding quality for clothing. Cotton blends, particularly with stretch wool or rayon/viscose, are great during the summer and keep your clothes fitted to your body. Linen is definitely a must-have in summer attire.





Think of colors: Try mixing bolder shades of spring pastel hues to “spring” into summer. Bold and vibrant colors can look cool and still be comfortable, such as various shades of purple, orange, and blues. Earth and neutral tones – like olives, tans, and browns – are definitely a standard and can look professional with minimal effort. Whites and greys are staples and versatile even when paired with bolder colors to accentuate your personal look. Minimize wearing black as much as possible. If you do wear black, get that in breathable fabrics like linen or cotton chinos, or look for it in subtle patterns.



Think of your workplace: Format your attire based on the dynamic of your workplace. Don’t wear sandals or flip flops if your work does not call for it.

Yes. David Beckham. If you have read any of the recent news. Dolce & Gabbana is in fact think that David Beckham is one of the most influential people in men's fashion.



The Italian designers' menswear range is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary. Neither can believe they have been so successful in the industry, and believe teaming up with the soccer star in the late 90s really boosted their range.



"Before, it (men's fashion) was for social things, for gays, for eccentrics, for weirdos; it was a small market. David was the start, a hot, straight, family man with kids. He was such a big star and he gave the possibility to be fashionable to millions. He made it possible for men to approach fashion without fear. Men felt if he can do it, I can," Stefano Gabbana said.





The duo admits they wouldn't wear all the clothes they create, but say each piece has some of their personality in it. Both Stefano and Domenico Dolce design with their ideal man in mind, explaining they create looks they want to see men experimenting with.

Man Fashion: New Era Caps for Fashionista Like You

When it comes to summer, the new era caps are the most popular choice of hip hop and sports fanatics. So what are new era caps basically?



The new era caps are the largest sports-licensed headwear company in the United States. The company is the premier cap provider for MLB, as well as a number of NBA and NHL franchises, plus a handful of major collegiate athletic programs.



Before we go further to commit our money into this fanatic caps, let look at what are the primary buying tips.



One of the first things that you should check is the quality of workmanship of your New Era cap. Examine the top of the hat and look at the top button. The button should be centered with the seams. If it is not, there is a good possibility that the cap is a fake.



In addition, check the quality of the stitching on the cap. On all authentic New Era Caps, the stitching will be smooth, dense, and tight. A good way to examine the quality of the stitching is to check out the stitching of the New Era logo. If it is uneven, crooked and/or seems to contain gaps between stitches, the hat is most likely a fake. Since the logo is one of the top branding factors, you can bet that New Era gets this right every time.



Next, check out the profile of your New Era 59Fifty fitted cap. The crown should be high and rounded. Inferior quality, imitation caps almost always tend to have a much lower profile and can actually look a bit flat across the crown.



You should also examine the New Era tag that is stitched on the inside of the cap. The edges should be stitched evenly, and the tag should lie smooth with no bunching at the edges. Crooked stitching that goes beyond boundaries most likely indicates a fake. You should also check for the New Era hologram on the underside of the brim of the hat. If your cap is missing this, it is probably an imitation.



In short, please put some common sense, time to examine these new era caps before you shelll out your hard earned money.
