LEATHER BELTS FOR MEN
MEN’S LEATHER BELTS
For many years, men wore suspenders and these have been replaced by the belt. Belts hold up a man’s pants, but they also are fashion symbols. There are some outfits that just look better with a belt, and if it’s a designer belt by a famous designer such as Gucci or Louis Vuitton, then all the better. Celebrities are always seen in belts that are the latest trends and they are very popular. Belts can be made of fabrics, alligator, and lots of other things and they are designed for formal clothes, golf, western, and casual.
You don’t have to know your exact measurements when buying a belt because they come with holes to adjust them. If you’re buying a dress belt, it should extend no more than three or four inches past the buckle and then you should fit it through a loop. Khakis always look great with a belt, but with jeans it’s optional, depending on the shirt you are wearing.

A great invention is the two-sided belt. These can save you a lot of money since you can get both a black and brown belt in one, and you won’t have a ton of belts in your closet.

A great belt for a man is a good quality leather belt. These are easy to find, and they are surprisingly affordable. If you want to go above this, then the crocodile skin dress belt is for you – a real one will cost you more than one hundred dollars. If that’s out of your budget, then go for a nice leather belt with an attractive buckle. Buckles can be etched, woven, made of emblems, and a huge variety of other things so you are sure to find something that you love.
DESIGNER CLOTHING FOR MEN TRENDS
DESIGNER CLOTHING FOR MEN
Some men don’t consider themselves to be in fashion if they are wearing anything less than designer clothes. What are designer clothes? These are clothes that are designed by well-known fashion designers such as Calvin Klein or True Religion. You can find anything you want in a designer clothing store – button-up shirts, bags, blazers, belts, watches, jeans, shoes, and even underwear and socks. Many people swear that the quality of designer clothes is better than what you get in a regular retail store, but just as many are put off by the high prices of designer clothes.
One thing that can definitely be said about designer clothes: they always look cool. If you love to be on top of the latest fashion trends, then designer clothing stores are for you. You’ll always find the latest trends and styles in these stores. Designer clothing is often true to size, and whatever you wear, you know it’ll fit. This is a big difference from some clothes brands in a regular retail store, where the size and fit depends entirely upon where the clothes were made. You’ll find people from all walks of life in a designer clothing store, from doctors to skateboarders, to young fathers and old politicians.
You don’t always have to pay full designer price for great designer clothes. Many stores offer discounts or referral programs where you can get a gift certificate just by referring your friends. Other stores have clearance sales, where clothes can be up to 80% off their regular price. These clearance sales happen all the time, but the big ones often happen around the season changes, such as winter to spring. There are also outlet stores that sell designer clothes at much cheaper prices – these stores usually sell the overstocked items from the designer store.
MEN’S BELTS, LATEST TRENDS
MEN’S BELTS, LATEST TRENDS IN 2010
Men’s belts are traditionally black or brown, faux leather or some other synthetic material, and otherwise very plain and unimaginative. 2010 is bringing in a whole new set of fashion trends for men’s belts, however, and it’s time for men to start paying attention. These belts can help you look more fashion-forward and help you assert your style in a subtle yet meaningful way. Large buckles, design options, and different colors are all included in the 2010 wave of trends.
If you love the look of a large belt buckle but are not sure if you can pull it off, give it a try anyway! Chances are a average to large size man can pull off a large belt buckle because they make up for it in size. Belt buckles and clasps are often found in silver or gold colors, and can add a little sparkle and subtle detail to a man’s belt.

Different lengths, designs, even the holes of the belt can be unique shapes or sizes. The customization available for men’s belts is one of the biggest trends of 2010. Try going to a custom belt store and work with a designer to style and plan out your ideal belt. After you get one, going back to that same place can give you several of the same styles.

WEDDING RINGS FOR MEN, LATEST TRENDS
WEDDING RINGS FOR MEN, LATEST TRENDS
Men’s wedding rings are ever-evolving into more and more unique and fun designs for the modern man. 2010 is bringing in several new trends for men’s wedding rings, so don’t worry about having to wear a plain gold or white gold wedding ring the rest of your life. Like the special woman in your life, your options are almost endless. Options like platinum, diamonds and specialty designs are all great new 2010 trends.
Less traditional and cheaper, yet still gorgeous, metals are surfacing as an option for wedding rings, and are becoming ever more popular with men especially. Buying your ring in platinum is a great way to make everyone think you’ve spent a ton on your ring and have it look amazing without spending all that dough. Platinum is also a great trend for the less traditional groom as well.
Tell your future bride to share the diamonds! That’s right, diamonds aren’t just for the woman’s wedding rings anymore. 2010 men’s wedding rings will find diamonds lining the edges or in the center, large and small, and even different color diamonds like yellow or pink ones.
Finally, possibly one of the most celebrated trends of 2010 as far as men’s wedding rings go, specialty designs are all the rage. Rings that have a distinct top and bottom with the bottom edge tapered to be more comfortable and take most of the wear while on the finger are very popular. For the non-traditional groom, try designing your own wedding band, another popular choice.
WALLETS FOR MEN, LATEST TRENDS
WALLETS FOR MEN, LATEST TRENDS
Men’s wallets have not changed in terms of basic types. Bi-fold, tri-fold, money clips and credit card holders are all basic types of men’s wallets. What changes from year to year is the specific details or embellishments of these basic types that tend to become trends among men. Genuine leather wallets and etched or embellished money clips are both popular men’s wallet trends of 2010.
Most men’s wallets are made from faux leather or some other type of material. A huge trend for 2010 is buying a wallet made from genuine leather. These wallets are more expensive, but you can really tell the difference in the texture and look compared to faux leather wallets. Another related trend is to buy a genuine leather wallet with impressments in it as a picture that has something to do with your life – your initials, deer or fish if you like to hunt, or even some symbol in another language that represents you.

Money clips are thin and usually made from some type of metal, whether it is stainless steel, silver, gold or some alloy like titanium. A popular trend among men for these money clips is to have the clip engraved with some important symbol for you, like your monogram or identification in case it is lost or stolen. Another option for money clips is to spend more money and have the clip embellished with jewels or diamonds.

As we’ve said before, men’s wallets haven’t changed much. But the latest trend for what options to choose in a wallet have, and the 2010 trends are the most fun to buy so far.
