Hang it properly
The first rule in the proper care of your suit is to hang it properly. But no ordinary hanger would do. With the passage of time, cheap and ordinary hangers will from permanent wrinkle in the suit coat’s shoulders. There are hangers made especially for suits, such as padded or wooden hangers use them to hang your suits.

Keep your suit moth damage free
Wool suits are susceptible to moth damage, so the next tip on how to care for your suit is hang it in a cedar closer. To most of us, this is one tip that might be difficult to do since a cedar lined closet is something that most of us do not have. Another alternative to keep your suit moth damage free is to use mothballs. Yuck! Not acceptable either. Mothballs have a very strong smell that is rather offensive. Your best option then is to store your suit in an airtight storage bag that will keep moths out.

Keep your suit pocket empty
Don’t use your suit pocket in lieu of a clutch bag where you store keys, money clips, change and other doodads. The weight of these items will deform your suit pocket and strain the seams.

Use a clothes brush
Always brush your suit with a clothes brush every time you take it off and before hanging or keeping it. Brushing your suit with a clothes brush is the best way to clean it and keep it looking great.

Dry clean suits once per season
Dry cleaning your suit very often is not advisable. The ideal would be once per season unless there is a need for it. Have it steamed, spot clean or pressed in between dry cleaning to keep it clean. Care for your suit properly and it will serve you well for a long time.

Blazers for Fall
Blazers or sports coats, as they are sometimes called, are cool wear for the fall season, and the styles available give blazers a distinctive look all their own. Blazer designs for this fall are a resurgence of past styles; with elbow patches or patch work pockets, double-sided vents or big lapels. The materials can be corduroys or moleskin for a more casual vibe or cashmere, tweed or wool. Blazers are versatile enough to be worn with dress trousers, chinos jeans, or even with dressier shorts with a cardigan, a dress shirt or tees underneath.

Cardigans for Fall
For men who are not the blazers or sports jacket type, the cardigan is a great option. It is another must-have item in a man’s wardrobe as an all season wear but is most useful for the fall season. Cardigans are great for that layered look that makes fall a wonderful season for fashion. The more contemporary cardigans come in so many styles, from the form fitting to the more traditional. There are zip up cardigans or cardigans with buttons, with a deep V or a shallow V neck, round neck and even with a shawl collar.

Combine it with colors
Since grey is a neutral color it gives you a lot of latitude in matching it up with the colors of your other outfit. Grey combined with colors is a fantastic way to test your ability to mix and match colors at the same time perk up your grey suit and enliven your looks. Grey will counterbalance any color you wear with it, making it the perfect background for colors.
Your grey suit can carry you from one season to the other just by the color of the dress shirt or t-shirt that you wear beneath it. For a summer wear, mix your grey suit with summery colors such as pink, green, turquoise or red. For the fall and winter season, your grey suit worn over a burgundy or purple dress shirt will surely call attention to your gear. Just make sure that the colors that you choose are flattering to your skin tone.

Wear them as separates
A gray jacket paired with chinos or even with denims worn with a button-down or t-shirt with boat shoes to complete the outfit is a great summer look. Your grey pants can also be worn with other tops such as a cardigan or even a tweed jacket for the Fall season. It will not only ward off the chill of autumn, it will give you a debonair look. Build your ensemble around a grey jacket or grey trousers; see if you can come up with interesting ensembles that will always be fresh. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

The new cardigan is no longer used just to provide warmth. It has become a fashion statement for fashion-forward gents. They are worn to work or for an evening out on the town. It can be a casual wear or a formal wear depending on the color, design and the purpose for which it was worn. When worn with a shirt and jeans, a cardigan becomes a smart casual wear but when a suit jacket and tie are added, it becomes a great formal outfit. Versatility is what sets cardigan apart from the other types of clothing item such as a sports coat or a jacket. It is stylish at the same time very practical.

Cardigans are best worn close to the body. Wearing it in this manner lends to the wearer a refined and urbane look. It makes a man leaner as well. Baggy cardigans or cardigans worn over layers of clothing will make the wearer bulkier than he really is, and men don’t like that. It is believed that men who wear cardigans are comfortable with their sexuality and intelligent to boot. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

The basics
For greater flexibility, you start with the basic casual wardrobe essentials such as trousers, jeans, button-down shirts and tees. Most of these items you most probably have already, but go through them since some of them may need upgrading. The secret is to keep your basics more contemporary or up-to-date. A pair of jeans you bought several years ago may no longer fit into the “current” trend. Build your updated basic casual essentials and from then on maintaining it will be fairly easy. Buying one or two item each year might be sufficient to keep you attuned with the times. With the right kind of accessories these basic casual wardrobe essentials can bring you from one style to another, place to place and occasion to occasion

Accessories
Once you’ve built your basics, turn your attention to accessories that will create the styles you want to achieve. These accessories will change your basics to fashion statements. Examples of these basics are belts, shoes, watches, hats, scarves, jewelries and even sweaters and jackets.
Take a plain tee shirt and jeans, if it’s the hipster look you want to achieve, then pair the outfit with Doc Martens or Converse sneakers, two hipster staples. Another hipster staple is a flamboyant belt – the more colorful, gaudier and excessive the better.
If you prefer the preppy look, throw over the same jeans and tees or tie around your waist an argyle or cable cold sweater and slip on a black leather loafer, with a chunky men’s watch for added accent, and presto! The preppy look!

Beige should not be worn close to the face, it is not a flattering color worn around the face. It is a boring and dull color.

• Ultramarine blue or French blue is your best option

Ultramarine blue otherwise called French blue is a rich blue color that flatters most skin tones. It is a great color for a dress shirt or a button-down shirt. You’ll never go wrong with this color

• Avoid bright colored socks

Unfortunately, some men think that just because socks are “hidden”, they need not bother much with their choice of socks to go with their ensemble. But socks are important to complete the look and it is not exactly hidden since socks peep out once a guy is seated or even while they walk. How off-putting and very disappointing to see a guy dressed up to the teeth in a dark dapper suit with white socks peeping out of the pants hem. There are not many rules with regards wearing socks but whatever rules there are, are important and need to be taken into account. Here they are:

White socks are not for every outfit

One of the biggest blunder men make with regards socks is wearing white socks for all types of outfit. White socks are only for sports clothes and for sports activities White socks are great for gym wear, jogging or running, or any outdoor activity but should never be worn when embarking on activities that does not require sweating. With jeans for an outing or picnic or a casual party, wear black athletic socks not white socks. The greatest blunder however, is wearing white socks with dark suits.

Wear dress socks with dress shoes

Dress shoes call for dress socks never athletic socks black, white or any other color. Athletic socks are made from thicker materials and have the tendency to bunch up when worn with dress shoes. In addition, athletic socks are usually grooved or ridged and destroy the sleek and elegant look of dress shoes. Dress socks are usually made from silkier, smoother and thinner materials that make it easier to slip a dress shoes on and off.

Harmonize socks color with pants

The color of your socks should be in harmony with the color of your pants not your dress shoes. Wear black dress socks with black pants, brown dress socks with brown pants and the same rule apply for navy and gray pants, better yet in a darker hue than your pants.

Who says fashion is only for women? When we say fashion, in this age it is not limited to women. Men also are part of the changing trends in fashion. We are not living in the old times where fashion is leveled to women. Wake up! We are in the century where all have freedom to express themselves, to do things they want and to achieve exquisiteness. All is fair in fashion!

Men fashion trends however is not like women who change very often. In 2011 we have seen lots of fashion trends introduced to cater men’s craving for added looks and attractiveness. Men who are into fashion know the thing they called “the neckerchief”. It doesn’t limit its function to a warmer; it’s very attractive and fits all clothing styles. There are varieties of colors to choose from and it can be worn dependent on your style and the persona you portray. You’re like going back to your youth with the neckerchief, playing with those colors to add up more fun and sleek look to your appearance. Fashion also introduced “the black tie outfit”. If you want to look like that adorable, executive, respectable kind of guy, this outfit is best for you. Aside from the neckerchief and black tie outfit, 2011 opens the door for trends like crop tops, Monokinis, floral prints and many others.

Men love for fashion has never stopped. Its search for new trends and ideas are continually manifested through the changes we see in the fashion industry. Fashion will always be there to showcase men’s beauty and charisma. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

In a group of dark suited men, the guy with an arrestingly colored dress shirt will surely stand out, either in a flattering or unflattering way. This is because the first thing other people observe about a man’s dress shirt is its color. What separates the man from the boy is his ability to mix and match colors that will make him either stand out or blend well in a crowd, depending on his wishes and desires. This can only come from a total understanding of what colors will suit them; the tone of their complexion, the color of their hair and even the color of their eyes.

When choosing what color would work best for a man, the main factors to consider are the tone of his complexion, the color of his hair. It is unfortunate that most men choose colors for their outfit based on the current trends, what other men wear and what colors they are used to. This accounts for a sea of dark suited men with either a white or blue dress shirt. The color of a man’s eyes only comes into play in choosing colors that will suit them when it strongly differs from his skin tone or hair color. This is an opportunity to opt for colors that would otherwise be uncomplimentary to a man.

For men whose hair color is in complete contrast with their skin tone such as a man with fair skin but very dark hair like black or very dark brown, he will be best served by copying said dissimilarity in his choice of colors for his clothes. Dark suits matched with a light colored dress shirt particularly a white dress shirt or dark shirts with light colored suits are what would distinguish this male. Ties that are in strong contrast with the color of their dress shirt will truly make this guy a real winner.

Men with light skin tone and light hair, men with thinning hair or even balding men, and even men with red hair will look super in monochromatic colors. Clothes with strong contrast will overwhelm him. Dark colored shirts such as dark blue or earth tones paired off with dark suits or the other way around are the colors for men of this category. Men with dark skin tone and dark hair are lucky since they can get away with either high contrast clothes or monochromatic clothes. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Men’s fashion doesn’t have much to say about skinny jeans. And let’s face it—most guys are starting to wear them because they’re in. This is ironic because if anyone wore these jeans in the previous years, well…they were picked on unless they were a girl. So what exactly should you know about men’s fashion skinny jeans?

First of all, men’s skinny jeans are not your typical jeans. For some men, they may find they can’t wear them, which is perfectly alright. On the other hand, you also have a wide variety of sizes that you can choose from and you may find one size up fits you better than your regular size.

Make sure that you ALWAYS check your size or try on your jeans before you wear them. This is a good idea—just as a rule. Let’s face it—most of the time, we get home…find out they don’t fit…and who feels like going back up to the store again? You already had to go shopping once! It’s better to try them on right then and there and get it over with.

Next, make sure to walk around in them while you have the chance—maybe even try sitting down for a second. If you don’t, you may find that you can’t! Skinny jeans are fashionable—but they aren’t for everyone. If you find that they aren’t for you—don’t feel bad! There are plenty of guys who can’t get into them or don’t like wearing them, for whatever reason. Keep this in mind as you shop for this particular facet of men’s fashion.
