Guys - Spruce Up Your Outfit With Men's Accessories

  

 Guys, if you want to add a sense of style, spruce up your outfit with men's accessories - aimed for the man with panache; for the man who wishes to be trendy; for the fashion conscious man.

Men’s accessories are a fashion accessory intended to appeal to men. In bygone eras a tie or a watch was the only accessory worn by a man, but these days, men’s accessories consist of a wide choice of fashionable and trendy pieces, including man bags, designed specifically to complement an outfit. Many men’s accessories are intended to make a man look very mannish and sensual.  A man who wears the right fashion accessory will no doubt draw attention irrespective of whether he is dressed for business, sport, social or just leisure.

Men’s accessories include various different items worn to set off a particular look. Ties, cravats, belts, buckles, socks, scarves, footwear, jewelry, watches, hats, handkerchiefs and sunglasses all add that little bit of appeal.  Man bags are also back in fashion so a quality designer handbag gives a boost to a man’s fashion statement.

Hair styles are also a critical part of a man’s appearance and men are opting for hair transplants and other therapies to replace the wigs, hairpieces, toupees and hair extensions worn by men for centuries.  These types of men’s accessories have now become very commercial with many doctors setting up practice to assist balding men.

The art of tattooing and body piercing has also come back into fashion. Originally from tribal roots, it has made its place in the range of men’s accessories used. Many men now make a fashion statement by embellishing their body with tattoos and semi permanent jewelry such as nose rings or an earring (men tend to just wear a single earring).

Men's accessories also include hi-tech items such as smart phones, I-pods, ear phones and other wearable computer devices. An entire new business model has developed trading in these stylish products to complement a man’s (or woman's) look and status. Just look at how people lined up outside the Apple Stores to be the first to buy the newly released I-phone 6.

Men are often more blasé about wearing men’s accessories and they tend to be worn more casually. However they are still thought to be a status symbol demonstrating success and professionalism.
Some professions have established men’s accessories which have been accepted as fashion statements.  These include things such as cowboy hats, aviator sunglasses, sailor caps, cargo pants, fishing vests, hardhats and various sports outfits and athletic shoes from professional sports teams.

At one time ceremonial swords and canes played a significant role in men’s accessories. Some are still used by royals and regiments for formal occasions. Hat badges also arose from the military and are still prevalent today. They often have important significance to the wearer and specify membership to a certain group,  such as military regiments, school badges, college alumni badges, professional badges and sports badges.

What To Look For In The Perfect Bag

We live in a society that is engrossed with perfection. The perfect figure, the perfect clothes, the perfect score whether it is in education or in sport, the perfect career, perfect health, the perfect house, the perfect car, perfect kids, the perfect man, the perfect hostess. The list goes on! But what makes a perfect bag?   But yet regardless of this captivation, we are inclined to accept imperfection in most things of our lives, leaving the challenge for perfection to others.  So what do you look for in the perfect bag need to makes it stand out in the crowd? A perfect bag is like the perfect man – it needs to satisfy many wants. The perfect bag needs to be the classic partner in every area of your life and be in step with all of your emotional, physical, intellectual and social longings. Ladies: Love Italian Bags  The perfect bag should look good but not over the top. Most people’s first impression of most stuff is their appearance. We all love a nice-looking bag which catches the eye but looks alone are not the only aspect in choosing the perfect bag. Many people are fanatical with brand names but then you run the risk of bumping into someone else with the identical bag. And why promote someone else’s brand by having your bag covered in their company logo.   Myself, I like something that looks a little bit different from the rest – something that makes a statement about me.  If a handbag has disproportionate good looks there are drawbacks as well.  Maybe you will be afraid to use it regularly because it may stain, tear, stretch or you may lose it. Get Your designer bag from my Amazon store  The perfect bag should be functional. Some handbags look great, but are a real challenge to actually use. They are not functional. Many designers seem to aim for style and good looks first, and function second, if at all. A common mistake in handbags is the wearer's failure to find anything with no trouble. The perfect bag should not only look great it needs to be user friendly and comfortable to carry as well. There should be easy access to the things inside and lots of pockets for your cell phone and wallet etc. so you can organise your stuff painlessly.  Men: Man Bags are in The perfect bag should be easy to keep looking good.  The perfect bag should also be easy to maintain so that you are not having to spend hours looking after it to keep it looking good. Features such as stain resistant leather and dust bags to store the bag in are important features. All bags need some degree of maintenance but don’t let it be over the top so you spend more time nurturing your bag rather than it nurturing you! The perfect bag should be adaptable The perfect bag should be adaptable and versatile enough to match with all clothing styles as well as complement your look making you look good. Handbags that can only be worn with one or two outfits are definitely out. Don’t chose a handbag with limited potential. The one exception to this rule is that you don't want a bag to be too suitable for others where everyone wants to borrow it. Sharing is generous but it doesn’t have to include your perfect bag.

Italian Leather Always Shines in Quality

Italian leather is highly thought of around the world because of its excellent quality.  There is nothing quite as extravagant as a hand-made Italian leather purse. It shows good taste and portrays a sense of fashion and style. The Italian leather purses available for sale on TheLarge Purse Shop have been designed with the smart man and women in mind. Regardless of if you are buying a bag for business or pleasure, travel or the gym there is a bag for you – desirable, practical and functional.

Buy Italian Leather Bags for Men and Women

 Buy a bag from a contemporary designer 

There are many different leather products offered on the market, so why is Italian leather so outstanding? Given the very high value of Italian leather, why is it so exceptional and worth the additional cost? The key difference of Italian leather is its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Leather produced in Italy is always produced in a very high quality. However leather production in other areas of the world is often inconsistent and not as high quality.

Italian leather is produced by traditional techniques which are handed down from father to son. Ancient civilisations have been working with leather for thousands of years, and Italy has been renowned for its leather production for many centuries. Cities such as Florence and Milan are chiefly recognized for their leather production. Milan, Italy's capital of fashion, produces leather fashions which are out of this world. I got an Italian leather bag in Italy over 20 years ago which still looks well preserved and in fashion.

Italian leather is used principally by high-end fashion houses. Because of this relationship, Italian leather has come to be synonymous with quality, fashion, and good taste. Italian brands rule the fashion world and set the trends and the standards for more modern fashion houses to shadow.

Men’s Hats Have Made A Come-back

Like man bags, men’s hats have made a comeback. These days they are now possibly one of the most trendy fashion accessory in a well-dressed man’s wardrobe. But beware, Men’s hats can make a definite fashion statement or be an unlucky gaffe. Whether you wear a beanie, a baseball cap or a fedora, it is vital to get it right. It is important to dress to impress. In fact it was only a few decades ago that a man was not considered to be fully dressed without a hat. It takes the movies and pictures of men in the early 1900’s to be reminded of how men’s hats used to be an obligatory part of a man’s dress code.

When worn properly, men’s hats divulge a lot about a man’s character. Choose a hat that suits you and wear it for the right occasion and you will look really sophisticated. Men’s hats are intended to be worn with confidence. The challenge is to personalize your hat and develop a fashion signature which matches your dress style. A quality hat ages really well, so wear it as often as you can. Wear it in, wear it over and over again, and wear it until people associate the look with you. Note, if you wear something once it is a novelty, wear it twice it becomes familiar, but wear it three times it becomes your fashion statement.

When selecting the style of men’s hat for you, it is key to give a thought to your own height and shape as well as your bone structure. For example big hats look better on big heads and large, straight brims draw focus to the eyes. Don’t be scared to be different because a stylish hat also has to be personal and reflect your taste, as well as make a fashion statement. Men’s hats enrich one’s appearance and add to one’s personal sense of style.

So let’s have a look at just some of the classic men’s hats and discuss what they say about their wearers.

The Fedora Hat

A really popular type of men’s hats is the fedora. It is a classic style which displays both masculinity and sexiness. Typically, the brim of the fedora turns down slightly in the front and slightly up at the back. The fedora was at first linked with the mafia in the 1930s prohibition era in America. But the fedora has gained popularity throughout the 20th century and is now one of the long-lasting styles of men’s hats. A fedora looks good with a suit and tie, or with casual clothing. The fedora gained acceptance with teenagers when it was worn by boy bands in T-shirts such as NSYNC.

The Panama Hat

A panama is a classic style of men’s hats hat worn in warm-weather climates. It is a timeless style which originated as an essential hat for tropical destinations. It was worn by the British colonialists in India and the West Indies, where it grew in popularity. But these days the panama is worn in cities during warmer seasons. Panamas are stylish and men look really cool in them. Worn formally with a suit or at the beach with swimmers, a panama depicts a man who celebrates the season and loves trendy accessories in his wardrobe. A panama is made of straw or woven straw, and has a reasonably wide flat brim to protect the face and eyes from the sun.

Baseball Caps

Baseball caps are undoubtedly one of the most popular sort of men’s hats in the world. Most men have possibly worn a baseball cap at some stage. They are very practical and are worn  to protect the eyes from the sun. They do not however protect the ears, as my partner found out when he was diagnosed with a skin cancer on his ear. As the name suggests baseball caps were first designed to be worn by baseball players to shade the eyes from the sun. But its usage extended to the American military and other sports. Baseball caps have the signature of various sports clubs and other social events on them. Some men wear them everywhere, even to a black tie occasion. The fashion of wearing them back to front began with cameramen in Hollywood who found the peak got in their way when filming. This trend was adopted by teenagers and rappers. There are various styles of baseball caps. They each feature the insignia of various clubs, organisations, companies, schools, universities, brand names and are a corporate way of advertising.

Beanies

Beanies are rugged men’s hats first designed to be worn by the Navy and on the docks as protection from the elements. They are useful for people who work or play sport in extreme cold weather conditions because they keep the head and ears warm. They are close fitting so they sit snug on the head and do not easily come off. They were traditionally made from wool but now you’ll find beanies made in more elegant fabrics. They have become a fashion statement especially for those on the ski fields. They are worn by office workers and sportsmen alike. Men often wear them with casual clothing in the winter because a beanie is both comforting and practical. Beanies are functional, simple and timeless. My son-in-law who is a company executive, wears one to work every day in the winter to keep his shaved head warm.

Flat Caps

Tweed flat caps are a style of men’s hats which are classically British in origin. They hint at English aristocracy who wore them hunting and fishing. But flat caps were also accepted by the working class who wore them as part of their daily attire. They were once seen as a practical type of men’s hats but now they are worn as fashionable and trendy fashion accessories. The flat cap is now characteristically associated with American newsboys as well as the Norwegian curling team who wore them as part of their 2014 winter Olympics uniform. Men regard the flat cap as a smart version of a sporting cap, dressier than a baseball cap but less formal than a fedora. It is a hat that appeals to all ages and has been worn by men such as Prince Charles and Mr Dennis Hopper. Flat caps are designed in many fabrics such as wool, tweed, and denim.

The Trilby Hat

The trilby hat is similar to a fedora, but it has a smaller brim that usually slopes sharply down in front and up at the back. They have been around since the late 19th century. Its   popularity soared when Sir Sean Connery’s James Bond wore the trilby with Savile Row suits. The trilby made him look so dashing, masculine but with a hint of playfulness. The classic trilby is a excellent way to make a fashion statement, particularly when it is teamed up with a well-tailored jacket. If new to the fashion of wearing men’s hats then you can’t go wrong with a trilby. It is the ideal hat to add to a formal, business or casual wardrobe. Trilbies come in felt, fur, straw, wool and range of other fabrics.

Cowboy Hats

Cowboy hats are the mark of the North American cowboy and old west lore. They are associated with ranch workers, particularly horseback riders, in the western and southern United States, western Canada as well as northern Mexico. They have become the trade mark of country and western singers and of riders in the North American rodeo circuit. The cowboy hat is a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat worn by both men and women. However the shape of a cowboy hat's crown and brim are often modified by the wearer for fashion and to protect against intemperate weather, either sun or rain. These men’s hats can be made from felt, straw or even leather. The tall crown provides insulation and the wide brim provides protection from the sun. The modern cowboy hat has stayed mostly unchanged in construction and basic design since Stetson created it in 1865. John B. Stetson is recognized with the creation of the modern cowboy hat and his name has become tantamount with the word cowboy hat.

Men’s hats add to a man’s appearance and characterize his distinct sense of style. Pick which style of hat suits your figure so that you are seen as a fashion entrepreneur.

Fashion Trends in Guangzhou China

When I visited Guangzhou recently I was surprised to find how westernized and casual the fashion trends were. 

The locals who frequented the market place in the centre of Guangzhou were casually dressed in dresses, trousers, hot pants, shorts and simple blouses and tee shirts. The people in Guangzhou could have been air lifted from China Town in Sydney Australia where I come from.

Chinese citizens from out side of Guangzhou city are of the opinion that this city is lacking in historical and cultural depth and that the fashion trends are somewhat lacking as well. This view is held despite Guangzhou’s  rich cultural  inheritance of over 2000 years which has recently being unearthed in the old tomb of the Nanyue King of the western Han Dynasty, and other ancient sites, such as the Chen Temple.

 Geographically Guangzhou is isolated from the rest of China by mountainous peaks and is located not too far from the westernized Hong Kong.  Its early contact to the outside western world has resulted in its unique way of life leading to a more westernized lifestyle, fashion trends, liberal ideas, distinctive cuisine, commerce, trade and tremendous wealth.

The temperature when I visited in July was in the mid to high 30’s (^OC), very humid, and there were sudden heavy tropical showers in the afternoon.  The climate was hot and sticky and the local people dressed for comfort more than for fashion trends. The best months to holiday in Guangzhou are October and November or April and May. The typhoon season is summer which is from June to September Guangzhou and this is when this sub-tropical climate’s humidity levels are at their highest.

The favourite fashion trends with the young women and girls appeared to be shorts or hot pants and light tops to keep them cool. Older women wore loose fitting trousers and tops, or simple dresses. Men wore shorts and tee shirts.  It was quite rare to see men in suits in the streets. The only ones I saw were in the hotels and were probably business men visiting Guangzhou.

Children like children everywhere wore simple clothes to keep them cool, and enjoy tasty treats.

What puzzled me most about the fashion trends I saw was that most of the fabrics worn by the locals were man-made synthetic materials. Also the majority of the clothes I saw for sale at the markets were made in synthetic fabrics. I personally find these synthetic fabrics hot and sweaty to wear because they do not breathe. I was unable to wear any of my own clothes made of synthetic fabric in Guangzhou and I really cannot understand how a whole city of people living in such a hot sticky climate managed to keep cool in all those synthetic materials. 

The shoes also seemed to be made out of synthetic materials which sweat and do not stretch when your feet become hot and swollen. The men seemed to wear sneakers and the women synthetic sandals. High platform shoes seemed to be the favourite fashion trends with the girls and young women. 

English is only spoken by a small percentage of people in Guangzhou so it is a good idea to carry your hotel's business card with you when you go out. Have the names of your destinations clearly written down in Chinese by the hotel staff so that you can   ask for directions if necessary. Also have a few phrases written down for shopping, such as how much does this cost? Or where is the toilet? However a lot of educated younger people do have some basic English language and most staff at hotels, bars and restaurants do speak satisfactory English, so the best thing to do  if you are  lost is to call into a hotel to ask directions.

I experienced three levels of shopping in Guangzhou. The upmarket brands such as New Balance, Nike and Versace where I found the prices to be about the same as in Sydney; the bargain stores which offer cheap Chinese made products; and the counterfeit stores which sell fake imitations of leading fashion trends and brands.

 
Tourists typically come to Guangzhou to shop and eat. Guangzhou is renowned for its   huge markets specializing in nearly any sort product made in China, such as Chinese tea, herbs, garments, watches, electronics and toys. Guangzhou is known for being up with the fashion trends and offering cheaper versions of products and brands available on the international markets. Guangzhou is a shoppers' paradise with loads of good quality products at affordable prices. You will be surprised to discover how low the real cost is for most products made in China. If you are looking for up to date fashion trends, the Baima Clothes Market, World Trade Mall and Teemall are the best places to shop.

But buyer beware!  There appears to be two price rules – one rule for the locals and another rule for the tourists. The prices on the majority of items are not clearly labelled and if you ask about the price the calculator is produced to calculate a “special” price. However I found that the price is higher than those found in Sydney and who is to know if the product is real or faux.

If you are approached by a hawker on the streets, beware because they will probably take you to a counterfeit store. Sometimes you may be really happy with your purchase and the price you pay, but don’t forget it is not under guarantee and there is warranty provided if something goes wrong with it.

Men Dress To Impress With A Trendy Man Bag

Men when you want to dress to impress, one way to do it and show style is to carry a man bag.

 Men’s handbags have become really popular and make a man look classy and professional. Whether it is a briefcase, portfolio, messenger bag, tote bag, clutch purse, cross-body bag, shoulder bag,  satchel, backpack, bag or a duffel bag, it will add a bit of pizzazz and look really trendy. Men’s handbags are considered to be a cool fashion accessory for new aged guys in this modern world.  Guys carry a bag to make a statement about who they are.

A briefcase is probably the most classic type of men’s handbag. They are typically carried by professional, business men and women to carry laptop computers, papers and other documents. They are usually slender box-shaped bags or cases with handles.  

 Soft satchels which were the predecessor of the briefcase are also in vogue and are popular especially with students but are becoming more and more in demand for business and casual wear as well. They have a shoulder strap which is worn diagonally across the body, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip. The satchel has a front flap that fastens using single or double-sided buckles and sometimes has a handle at the top. 

 

Other types of bags popular with professionals are portfolios, folios and attaché cases which are often used to carry documents, papers as well as computers. These three types of bags do not have a handle and are usually carried in the hand or under the arm. 

 Messenger bags have become the most popular type of men’s handbags. They are worn over one shoulder with a strap that goes across the chest resting the bag on the lower back making it easier to carry heavy items, such as documents, books and laptops.  The hands are left free for doing other things such as riding a bike.

  Tote bags are popular fashion accessories carried as both women’s and men’s handbags.

They are functional carry-all bags which are open with parallel handles fitted at either sides of the bag. A lot of tote bags are very decorative and may bear different logos, themes and patterns. 

 Backpacks have become very popular with professionals and business men and women who use them as business bags in place of the  more classic and traditional briefcase for carrying laptops and paperwork. They have two straps which go over the shoulders and are designed to carry heavy loads on your back.  Some of the larger backpacks have frames which offload the largest part of the weight onto padded hip belts, leaving the shoulder straps mainly for stabilizing the load.

  A duffel bag is a large cylindrical bag traditionally with a drawstring closure at the top. They were designed to be slung over the shoulder by drawing the rope tight and then using the rope as the strap.  Now days the more modern versions are used as gym bags with handles and straps.

 

 For every day use and an easy, safe way to carry your belongings is the cross-body bag which has a long thin strap worn across the body leaving the hands free. Man bags also include styles which have long straps worn on one shoulder which are called shoulder bags. 

 Clutch purses for men have become quite trendy and are considered to be the perfect fashion accessory for the modern man.  They are small man bags which are large enough to hold necessities such as phone, keys, tickets, passports and money, but are small and compact.  They may have a detachable chain or strap so they can also be worn hanging from the shoulder, and some may have a small wristlet strap. 

 Men’s handbags are made out of a variety of materials such as thick fabric cloth, jute, canvas, heavy nylon or leather and may be lined with vinyl or waterproof tarp or PVC to make them waterproof.  In my opinion there is nothing nicer and more masculine than a man carrying a bag especially one made out of fabulous Italian leather – leather stands the test of time and looks so classy and stylish.So men if you need to dress to impress especially in the office carry a trendy man bag.
