Men’s Footwear – What to Wear for Summer?

// July 15th, 2011 // No Comments » // Male Fashion, Shopping

While many women have already thought about their wardrobe options until nothing is left unconsidered, men are not always so adept at making these choices, especially when it comes to footwear. Even if you have a good fashion sense, and well-chosen outfits, chances are that your shoe options are limited in comparison to a spouse or significant other. But, it’s important to make sure that your shoes aren’t clashing with the rest of your outfit, and that you at least have a good option for every occasion.

One significant occasion during the summer months is that casual, possibly outdoors,  recreational and social environment. While you may not be donning business clothes for a day at the office, it’s still important to look nice and dress well for your family, friends, and possibly colleagues. You’ll want to be comfortable, but also stylish. A worn out pair of tennis shoes or flip flops simply won’t do.

What you should do is invest in a nice pair of open-toed shoes, with a classic and understated look. Darker and more earthy tones fit the season very well, and go with almost any summer outfit. Birkenstock sandals are a good choice, certainly much better than garish options such as Krocs. Choose wisely, and you’ll be sure to not have to give it a second thought all summer.

 

Men’s Outerwear

With the winter season comes new fashion and trends, but the same essentials remain the same. You still need a good coat or jacket to get you through the harsh weather. When you are shopping for your next coat, remember that mens jackets come in a variety of styles and fabrics, so you don’t have to settle on the first one that fits. Have a jacket that suits your personality, tailors to your specific build, is a critical part of your wardrobe, especially since it will be getting so much use.

You should consider several factors when shopping for a new jacket. For example, the fabric can change the way it hangs on you, and therefore can flatter your body type, or do the opposite. If you have narrow shoulders, try to go for a fabric that is more stiff, so it gives some shape to your shoulders, without excessive padding. If you are short, you should try to go with a cut that will lengthen your frame, particularly be aware of where the jacket hits on your body. There are cuts that span from hips, to mid thigh. The color is also another detail where you can choose wisely to accentuate your best features.

To Pleat or Not to Pleat Your Pants

pleated-pantsThe view of people in the men’s fashion industry in terms of pants has been consistent for the past few years: flat front pants look better and more sophisticated than pleated pants. This view obviously is brought by the idea that men’s ideal body type is that of a male model: tall, athletic, and have flat to six pack abs. Digressing from the fashion side and onto the general perceptions of people alone, Flat front pants are said to good look on men because it accentuates the bulge underneath, something that is very manly, naughty, and sexy.

The predilection for flat front pants is evidenced by one of the most predominant trends in men’s fashion industry for the past seasons: skinny jeans, and skinny dress pants. Although following this trend is really cool, it should be advised that not all men can wear them, unless one of course does not care how these pants will look like on them.

So if you’re planning to have your customized pants anytime soon, make sure that you know whether you have to ask the tailor to put pleats in them or not. Pleats look good on men whose body type ranges from average to stocky. Since pleats provide an extra layering in the pants, they can surely hide beer bellies; if not make them look smaller than they really are. For people whose body ranges from slim to thin, it is better to stick to flat front pants. Pleats, although then can make you comfortable and move with ease, don’t really look good on slim figures. They make thin men look thinner, and this of course is not flattering.
