Fashion designers are now the most sought after by the wealthy (celebrities and famous personalities), who will give up a fortune as wages. The reason is, celebrities know that they are being judged by half of the worlds population by what they wear on what occasion and for this reason alone, they turn to designers for help. But the designers are scarce, so why don’t you make yourself available to earn money.

Celebrities are struggling to keep their profile on top of Read the rest of this entry »

Contrary to what society would have one believe, women are not flocking to the man with his pants at his ankles and 3lbs worth of jewelry hanging from his ears, arms, and chest. Instead, women typically prefer a man who looks as if he just stepped out of GQ magazine — the often overlooked neat and conservative fellow. However, these neat and conservative dressers are oftentimes overshadowed by the millions of men who commit fashion suicide on a daily basis. Tube socks with dress suits, ill-fitted suits, and mismatched or over-coordinated apparel are just a few of the fashion mistakes men make. Don’t be ashamed if you are perpetrator of these crimes against fashion. A sense of fashion does not come overnight. The following tips will help you become more fashionable with easy to implement strategies to help improve your wardrobe and overall appeal.

Fashion crimes to avoid:

The Hangover Suit

Topping the list of turn offs for women is a man who shows up wearing a suit that looks as if it was used as pajamas the night before. Having a clean and crisp appearance is vital if you wish to appear the least bit presentable. It doesn’t take much to go over your clothes with an iron the night before, or at the least, invest in getting your suits cleaned once a week at your neighborhood cleaners.

Taste the Rainbow

Believe it or not, women look at even the most subtle fashion combinations. You can then understand why it is important to choose wisely when coordinating your shirts, ties, and suit coats. There are certain patterns that clash with each other. Take for example the following fashion suicide combination: a plaid jacket, polka dot tie and striped shirt. This is too much pattern concentrated in one place. Be wise. One pattern should never overpower the other. Instead, it should accentuate its counterpart. If you wish to combine items, combine colors, not patterns, to make your outfit pop. By mixing darker colors with its lighter partner on the color wheel you are able to help both items make a statement without overdoing it.

The Roman Solider

Look, we know you have muscles! There is no need to exaggerate it with 5 inch shoulder pads sewn into your suits. Avoid this look like the plague.

Shaggy the Dog

The influence of vintage lines, silhouettes and styles has always inspired runway looks and wearable fashions. However, this year, designers are completely embracing bygone eras, especially the ’70s. Deco suits, kerchiefs and heeled boots (for men and women), and estate jewelry are all on-trend. Again.

This month’s Roberto Cavalli show, which was held in Milan, was indicative of the old-school influences permeating this year’s offerings. Rather than merely drawing inspiration from, or working to evoke, the spirit of ’70s fashion, Cavalli seems intent on recreating the signature looks of the era.

“The result was a collection replete with snug corduroy suits reminiscent of Jim Morrison, kerchiefs knotted at the neck, Cuban-heeled shoes and floppy hats that brought to mind the low-life memoirist Iceberg Slim,” Guy Trebay wrote in his New York Times review of the show.

Cavalli’s 24-year-old son, Daniele, who assists his father, told the news source that he wanted the collection to be “really groovy… I want it to have a lot of soul.”

Though in the day-to-day many consumers don’t feel comfortable donning cutting edge fashions in real life, this look is sure to affect consumers’ tastes in more subtle ways. So how will these stylings translate into the jewelry world? Many fashion industry analysts suggest that estate jewelry and vintage jewelry will increase in popularity as old-school looks trickle down from the high fashion world to everyday consumers.

Because ’70s-era fashion was itself inspired by the art deco movement, (which was influential from the 1920s to the 1960s), it’s likely that classic pieces from the first half of the nineteenth century will be in-demand once again. Architecturally inspired styles will be especially appropriate.

Antique engagement rings that feature embellished settings, floral designs or deco cut-outs will likely be sought after. A benefit of Read the rest of this entry »

Boyfriends, husbands and fathers are some of the most difficult to buy for when it is holiday or birthday time. Many children are taught from a young age to buy gifts that they themselves would enjoy and may not get on a regular basis. This is taught because often they are attending birthday parties of children their own age and gender. However, this approach to gift giving doesn’t always translate.

Boyfriends, husbands and fathers have suffered enough from the endless photo frames, clothing “outfits” and random items that their well-meaning girlfriends, wives, and children gave them. Men enjoy items that are functional, in fact, the more functional it is, the more it is enjoyed. The Swiss Army knife is a perfect example of one small item that does so many useful things. When women start giving functional gifts to the special men in their lives, those gifts will spend less time gathering dust and more time being put to good use.

Technology. While each man has different interests, there are a variety of technological tools that can be fun and Read the rest of this entry »

Fashion jewelry has been around for thousands of years now. In the early primitive days, some of our ancestors have even taken to jewelry more easily than they have with clothes. Glamorous looking or not, primitive men have made use of stones, twines, animal teeth and other materials which were found in their surroundings. And, although primitive men may have never heard of the concept of jewelry, those stone necklaces probably may have been considered trendy even in those times, worn only by some privileged few who happen upon their last meal’s molars, bicuspids or some other part of dental treasure!

Because of the certain sense of personal satisfaction felt by people wearing jewelry that matched their personality, fashion jewelry has survived up to this age. And although gone were the days when people walked around flaunting the above-mentioned style of fashion jewelries, modern tools and easy jewelry-making tips have made sure that the modern man – or more aptly, women, enjoyed the same satisfaction of wearing jewelries in crystals, gold, diamonds, beads and other precious stones.
