 Men are no different than women when it comes to what they wear. They fancy themselves Johnny Depp and wear a porkpie hat with a goatee or they see the Abercrombie and Fitch boys and starve themselves until they can wear a t-shirt with some faded pattern of something on it that makes their upper bodies look concave.
Trying to find a color that works for your skin tone isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Here are some quick tips to help you choose:
1. Fair Skin - If you are a blond or a redhead, you need to stick with dark colors. Your pale skin looks even worse when paired with white. Go with navy, blues, basic black or a sage green.
2. Sallow Skin - If you look a bit yellow or green, you definitely need to avoid wearing these colors. A yellow shirt will just make you look like a giant banana. Go with whites, blues and black.
3. Darker Skin - You have it made. Pretty much all colors work for you. Stay away from dark browns or dull colors that don’t highlight your gorgeous color.
Now, let’s move onto eye color and what will highlight your features:
4. Blue Eyes - If you want to bring out your baby blues, you’ve got to wear blue. Look for shirts that match the color of your eyes. This will really make them more noticeable.
5. Brown Eyes with Red Tones - If you have dark brown eyes that have flecks or stripes of red, you need to go with warm tones to highlight them. Stick with oranges, reds or yellows.
6. Brown Eyes with Green Tones - If you have a hint of green in your eyes, you’ll want to bring it out. Purple, especially plum, is the ideal color to do this. You’ll be amazed at how green your eyes look.
7. Green or Hazel Eyes - These eyes can get lost in a color shuffle. If they are green, wear similar green colors to draw attention to them. Hazel is a little more difficult. Pick the color you want to draw out the most - for blue, wear blue, for green, wear green.
Many people wear clothes because they like it without even knowing the brand. Some rock a shirt because it’s a masterpiece of a friend and they want to show support. There are exceptions to every rule and we can argue about each of these forever. But the bottom line is this; don’t walk around like a billboard.

 It’s a daring assertion to say that at least one person from any state or nation in the world has worn blue jeans. Jeans, or denim trousers, are some of the most popular and universal articles of clothing that have retained their iconic status through the years. But not many people who swear by blue jeans as the pinnacle of fashion know of the humble beginnings behind this meteoric success.
Just how tight is too tight when it comes to men’s denim? It seems like the men’s denim scene has been dominated with one look for as long as I can remember; the low slung, baggy look. Recently though, we have begun to see a new trend emerging in the men’s denim world.
The skinny jean is now making a crossover into the men’s fashion world. The trend of slimmer menswear is popping up on celebrities and rock stars who have begun wearing slender and tight.Jeans are so popular because they are not only tough but very versatile as well. You can conceal your form by wearing loose jeans and emphasize it by wearing tight-fitting ones.
When it comes to finding the perfect pair of jeans comfort is everything. You should ideally be looking for the perfect mix of style and comfort. Jeans need to look good but more importantly feel good. When it comes to selecting a pair it is always best to go to several stores that specialize in denim and try on a few pairs until you find what works for you. One of the important aspects of a pair of jeans is whether or not they will work with the rest of your wardrobe. Your choice of shoes can dictate how wide you want the ankle of your jeans to be cut.
The first thing you should always look for in your jeans is “stretch”. Many pairs of jeans will say they are made of stretch material, which means the material will give a little. You may not really think they give much, but they will stretch out more as you wear them. You may even have to give them a few hours before they get really comfortable. Going with stretch jeans will make you feel more comfortable throughout the day.
The next thing you should look for is mid rise qualities. Many jeans these days are being made as low rise jeans. This is a great look if you have no curves at all. But, plus size clothing should not be low rise. Mid rise is much more appealing and attractive. It will help you stay stylish while also allowing you to stay covered and comfortable.
The versatility of denim almost certainly earns itself a permanent place in each and every one of our closets, and definitely an enduring presence in our fashion culture.

 T- Shirt trade has evolved as a very competitive market. No wonder why, t shirts are used everyday day in, day out.
The variety brands, colors, fabrics and designs of t-shirts found is simply amazing! This variety will bowl you over and confuse you as to what one to get.
The pricing of t-shirts also varies according to the brands. You can get t shirts ranging from £3 to £60.
Plain white t shirts are generally cheaper. You can make them look like an expensive branded t-shirt simply by printing designs of your choice. All you need to do is find a plane t-shirt of the right size and fabric and then take it to a t-shirt printer where you could get your favorite designs printed on your t-shirt for a small fee.
Another idea to personalize your t shirt is by getting any letters printed on your t shirt. Take your t shirt to the printing place and ask them to print the letters you want on the t shirt. More and more people are now opting for getting their t shirts printed because it is getting cheaper to print your own t shirts.

 Which fabric is superior- cotton or polyester- is a much debated issue. Cotton is a natural fiber whereas polyester is synthetic. Being natural, cotton is related to green and clean. So cotton is better, right? Well, not exactly! In this article, we have tried to do a fair comparison of cotton and polyester. Read on.
Polyester is more stain resistant as compared to cotton garments. On the contrary, cotton garments waste a lot of energy. Cotton garments require frequent mild wash since they are less resistant to tough stains. Cotton demands hot water wash to remove the stains whereas you can easily wash off the tough stains using cold water if it is a polyester garment.
Synthetic fibers don’t loose their shape. Unlike cotton, polyester garments do not loose their shape.
Cotton is a renewable fiber. However, it is not grown sustainably. Moreover, the production of cotton demands use of high amounts of pesticides and insecticides. Organic cotton is good since it doesn’t use these harmful chemicals. However, organic cotton is highly water intensive.
On the other hand, polyester is less water intensive but requires more energy consumption. The increased use of wood and oil for the production of polyester is contributing to global warming. However, the advantage of polyester is that is 100% recyclable.
Hence, both cotton and polyester is not winner for the environment as far as the effects of the fibers on environment is concerned.
