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.

Fashion Is For Everyone, Even The Plus Size

All woman deserve to feel good and look gorgeous, irrespective of the size tag of her dress. Women sizes seem to be increasing, but the fashion industry has not yet adjusted to the changes. Although most US women are the plus size group, plus size fashion has only a minor share of the apparel market.

In 1985, the typical woman in the US wore a size 8. Today, the medium size for women is a 14. In fact 65% of US women wear size 14 or above. Regrettably 14 is the size that often marks the distinction between a standard it and a plus size fashion fit. Consequently women who are a US size 14 and above frequently experience a lack in trendy, good quality fashion, across the board, from high street stores to luxury brands.

Manufacturers and retailers need to wake up! Women’s love of fashion does not end at size 14. The plus size fashion market is developing. According to the market research firm NPD, plus-size clothing was worth $17.5 billion in the 12 months ending April 2014 and that was in the United States alone.  Although this profitable market is growing, it is still one of the most underserved parts of the fashion industry.

Plus size departments in large stores are often small spaces hidden at the back out of sight. Mature sized women do not feel good about shopping there. There seems to be some sort of stigma attached to it. The styles on offer are severely limited, less adventurous and not at all trendy. In fact I find them rather frumpy and not at all stylish or inspiring. They definitely are not designed to flatter my figure anyway.

I find a large purse can cover my bulges and make me look fabulously trendy

Plus size fashion rarely appears in advertisements or shop windows so plus size women do not get exposed to the same inspiration as standard women. There has been some move for plus size models to be featured on the covers of some fashion magazines and a few brands like Calvin Klein have used fuller figured models in their campaigns but overall there is not adequate advertising of plus size fashion. 

Luxury fashion brands are especially bad in servicing the needs of the larger woman. I have found that many designers and manufacturers only produce their products in small minute sizes. I have a friend who is so thin that a puff of wind would knock her over. I go with her frequently on shopping extravaganzas where it is nothing for her to spend a thousand dollars on a pair of jeans. The Versace and Channel brands for example look great on her and fit her like a glove. She enthuses the shop staff who keep items aside for her. But in all the time I have frequented these types of shops with her, I have not found one item which would fit me, a size 14 to 16.

So why is the fashion industry disregarding the plus size market? It is estimated that 65% of US women wear a size 14 or higher, so why are more fashion houses not grabbing the plus size opportunity?  Is it because of the additional costs incurred with designing and producing larger sizes? Do manufacturers lack the means to provide a wider range of sizing? Clearly, the major difference between plus size and straight-size fashion the is fit: larger sizes require new proportions and body shapes and, thus, creating plus size clothing can be more difficult as well as more costly. It is not just a matter of scaling up a pattern from size 8 to 16.

Or is the issue a more fundamental one than that. Do the luxury companies not want their brand names linked to larger women? Is it not kosha to be over sized? Do they consider that providing plus size fashion will have a damaging effect on their brand image? Is the fashion industry disregarding plus size consumers out of some sort of old fashioned elitism? Is the plus size fashion industry stigmatized, with a negative impact? This is a moral debate which would no doubt be disputed by these brands.

As a society we need to move away from idolizing the twiggy woman and get back to the renaissance art era where the voluptuous women was cherished, valued and admired. Manufacturers and retailers need to get their act together and change their range of sizes to suit more women. Providing for diversity in consumers must be a profitable move for both customers and brand image alike.

Addressing the needs of women of all sizes must have many business benefits. According to Susan Koger, co-founder of ModCloth, “just adding clothing in a size 16 and above has boosted her business and it is now the fastest growing category. Her sales in size 16 and above have doubled year on year. She has also found that those buying size 16 tend to buy more. If a larger person finds a brand that has trendy styles which cater for their fuller figure they are likely to spend up large and buy several items they possibly would not find anywhere else.  She also found these select customers are also much more likely to spread positive feedback about their purchases on social media.” All good for growing sales!

She advises other fashion brands should increase the size ranges as well, so as to tap into this huge market opportunity, and at the same time make women feel good “Fashion is for every body and manufacturers should produce and sell beautiful clothing for all women.”

If you are a plus size like me, you are undoubtedly discouraged at the lack of choice.  Only a small proportion of fashion products are presently available in larger sizes. In spite of the fact that the ordinary American woman is a size 14, products in this size simply do not exist in many clothes lines. Larger women want to wear the same trendy styles that their smaller sisters do.  But in one independent third party survey of over 1,500 women on the state of the clothing market, 92 percent of women sized 16 and above said that they got disappointed when they couldn’t find trendy clothes in their size. In the same survey 82% of women said that they would purchase more clothing if more trendy choices were available in their size.

And it is correct, the plus size market opportunity is there. I know how often I have seen a dress or top or pants I really like, only to be disillusioned that they do not fit. I am on the borderline of sizes – some 14's fit other don’t. Which brings me to another argument – sizes need to be better standardized within the fashion industry. An 8 should be an 8, a 16 should be a 16. Manufacturers need to make sure that clothes fit properly and that they are proportioned effectively across all sizes.

Plus size fashion needs to provide for the needs of the women with a fuller figure. It should be visible and reflect the up-to-date fashion trends. The clothes must look good, feel good, be great! Remember that fashion is for everyone, even the plus size.

  

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.

The 5 Deadly Mistakes To Avoid With Cosmetics

If you look older or tired when you apply your cosmetics you may be making one of these deadly mistakes. If instead of covering all your blemishes, your makeup job you makes do you look worse than you really are, then you are probably not applying them correctly. If your cosmetics are not applied correctly you can look even more exhausted than you surely are!

Bring out the best in your looks by applying makeup correctly and team it up with  some gorgeous fashion accessories  and a great  designer handbag

When applied right, cosmetics can benefit your entire demeanor – changing you from looking drained and washed out to looking refreshed and radiant. Fortuitously it is simple to avoid the 5 deadly mistakes which make you look worn-out. Just follow the following tips:

1. Don’t Use Too Much Powder

An overly powdered complexion emphasises dull and tired skin. It is better to avoid a matte foundation and powder combo and use instead an illuminating liquid foundation or a tinted moisturiser which highlights your skin instead of camouflaging it and looking dull.

2. Don’t Use Colors Which Are The Wrong Tone for Your Skin

If you use too much light colored beige make-up on your face, it may be too neutral, lack luster and look a little bit flat. Try adding some definition and pop with a darker toned lippie or rosy hued blush to lift your face and add some colour. Likewise do not use make-up which is too bronze for a pale skin.

3. Don’t Use The Wrong Concealer

If you use too much concealer or the wrong shade, instead of concealing you may actually highlight the blemishes you’re trying to cover.  Instead use a creamy formula no more than one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. And always try out your shade in natural light as artificial light can disguise the true match. Green toned make-up is ideal for concealing red blemishes and the redness of rosacea.

4. Don’t use Too Much Dark Eye Liner

Dark smoky eye liner may be a model look, but it can come across as harsh and unflattering. Try skipping the black and grey shades in favour of navy or even dark brown, as they help lift your eyes and add definition without darkness.

5. And Don’t Forget To Curl Your Eye Lashes

Curling your lashes is one of the best ways to open up your whole eye area and help you look awake and alert. Try curling your lashes and even use a heated eyelash curler.

If your makeup is applied correctly you look great.  If your skin has a natural radiance about it and you look revitalized and eye-catching. Apply cosmetics incorrectly and you will look drained and washed out.

The Brief Facts of the Underwear and Lingerie Reshaping

It is a fact that like purses,  women’s underwear is getting fuller whilst men’s underwear gets briefer! Young women are finally seeing the light of day in their lingerie collections and are now opting for comfort over trends. Thank goodness because I have never quite understood how anyone  I can’t comprehend how thongs appealed to women as every-day panties anyhow. In my opinion they are very uncomfortable. I think they were designed for the bedroom and not in the board room! I find pretty full panties are far more feminine and so much sexier.

I am intrigued how suspender belts have become a sex symbol. I always thought of them as  a curse, an item to hold up my stockings. Now a days intimate lingerie  has a really sexy, pretty suspender belt as part of the set. A suspender belt together .with some unique jewelry makes an really sexy outfit for the bedroom.

Thongs became the trend in the 90’s, but now less than 10% of the knickers and briefs purchased are thongs, according to Soozie Jenkinson, head of lingerie design at Marks & Spencer. The luxury lingerie market has also experienced a change where more briefs are sold than thongs. Women, even young women now prefer to wear full coverage briefs rather than thongs, demanding comfort instead.

This demand for comfort has also crept into the bra market where women are wanting comfort up top as well. Non under-wired bras are now becoming the bra of choice. According to Nancy Szachno-Dressel, the lingerie buyer at department store John Lewis, non-wired bras now comprise 40% of bra sales. This figure is up 32 %.

But interestingly enough, as women’s underwear gets bigger, men’s underwear is getting briefer. Men’s briefs are having an effect on reshaping the underwear market overall.  Boxers, a fitted short, now make up the majority share of the men’s underwear on the market. Nearly 40% of men’s underwear sold are boxers as men become much more focused on the style of underwear they want to wear. This has led to thriving sales of men’s underwear.   

Like women men are now driven by performance and luxury. Men now demand their underwear to perform, first and foremost. Style comes second. Fit and comfort is what it is all about for both lingerie for both men and women. After comfort, style and sexiness are important.  Fit is probably a much more critical feature in underwear than with other clothing lines.

There has been a huge growth in sales of underwear and lingerie online. And it is continuing to grow with growth forecast to increase by 18.2% in the 5 years from 2014 to 2019, according to market research firm Research and Markets.

Because fit is so vital, online stores have had to offer complete size indicators, delivery and customer care services. Buying underwear and lingerie online is now seen by many as a great way to avoid the embarrassment of having to go into a retail store to shop for intimates. The overall underwear and lingerie market is worth billions of dollars each year, so I guess the online share of this lucrative market can only increase.

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.

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.
