Men's Fashion Tips: The Basics of Men's Dress Shoes


posted by Fashionistas on the go on ,

3 comments



Men do consider their looks. Earlier fashion industry was dominated by female specimens but currently men are giving it equal importance and have become fashion conscious. Men are now concentrating on their footwear which definitely adds that appeal to the attire but he should be able enough to carry it with confidence. Here is a quick list of the several types of shoes designed particularly for men:

Dress Shoes   
These are the shoes worn for all the formal occasions. Team up a good pair of dress shoes with your business suits and you are ready to take the world. There are two types in this category oxfords and slip- ons. I personally prefer the classic oxfords which are never out of fashion and denote the true English gentleman.

Saddle Shoes 

It is a casual oxford shoe, and this is distinctive as it uses an extra layer of leather over the instep that is usually in different colour than the rest. This is a classic casual style and could be worn with a nice pair of trousers.

Boat Shoes 


Do not wear this shoe only for the heck of wearing as you might end up as a disaster. Team them up properly and when the right dress is chosen, these shoes work their magic. These came all the way from the docks of Boston top the closets of men and when used intelligently can make you look like million bucks.

Canvas Shoes

This is one shoe which is present in everyone’s closet. By cleaning it regularly and investing in a good pair (psst the colour matters) you can look great when worn with jeans or shorts.

Loafers 

These are another of my personal favourites. Gone are the days when men use to relax by the beach in a pair of good loafers.  Ensure that this is present in your wardrobe. Team them up with a jacket or a coat and you are ready to paint the town.

Athletic shoes 
Your running shoes, basketball shoes, trainers, tennis shoes all come under this category.
  
Boots

There are various models and different are used for different purposes so the next time you invest on a pair of boots ensure you know the utility.  The types are work boots, hiking boots, western boots and dress boots.


 The above mentioned are a few amongst the others such as sandals, flip-flops, vans, crocs, clogs, custom made shoes and so on.
There are a few things you should consider while buying the dress shoes and given below are a few tips to help you:
  • Ensure that the shoe is an exact fit
  • Prefer oxfords to other dressing shoes as they create a strong impression on others mind
  • The soles should be light and just the size of the shoe. They should not extend the shoe as they do in the solid square-footed shoes that are now finally out of fashion
  • Invest in leather soles as this give longevity to your shoes
  • Do not worry about the cost as it is wise to invest on pair of nice oxford dress shoes which have longevity
  • Lastly do not chose black but prefer brown or shades in brown to create an impact

First Time Show of Balenciaga's Personal Archives

The great Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, considered a pivotal affect on 20th century fashion, amassed a huge personal archive which includes never gone on public show until recently, 40 years after his death.
The eclectic variety of documents, costumes, fragments of cloth, even dolls' clothes, was bequeathed for the Musee Galliera, the Paris fashion museum, in 1979 coupled with lain in its vaults since.

Galliera director Olivier Saillard had the thought of building an exhibit on Balenciaga across the archives, joining together his creations and a few of the causes of their inspiration the very first time in the same display case.
"It's very random, spontaneous -- assembled over the course of a very long time, travelling around the world, presents from friends. He wasn't a specialised collector," Saillard said.

It offers a glimpse to the creative processes of the man who straddled the 19th and 20th centuries, a perfectionist having a reputation for being taciturn, enigmatic and quite often too radical for his contemporaries, and profoundly affected by Spanish popular culture.

Chanel hailed him because the only couturier besides herself to get mastered all of the techniques from cutting cloth to sewing and that he continues to influence fashion today, particularly in the architecture and level of clothes, Saillard said.
"He invented, no less than in part, the vocabulary of Last century fashion, the paradox is he was very nourished from the epoch before."

Balenciaga was created in 1895 within the Spanish Basque country and also the bulk of his collection may be dated for the 19th century. He remained interested in the silhouettes, the capes and coats which hidden and constrained women, while seeking as part of his own designs to lighten them up and enable freer movement.
The exhibition allows the viewer to match Balenciaga's sculptural cocktail frocks using their bolero or cape tops from his high fashion lines inside the 1950s making use of their historic counterparts from A hundred years before.

Saillard desired to conjure up the climate of the museum's reserves, a lot of items are displayed flat, which can be how they are stored. Fragile confections of guipure and lace, over-embroidered with metallic thread or encrusted with jet tubes or black pearls, nestle in drawers got out at the foot from the display cabinets.

The range is also proof of Balenciaga's passion for Spanish regional costumes, from bullfighters to flamenco dancers, that he borrowed details for his or her own designs.
"His evening dresses were hybrids," said Saillard. The grand gowns had rustic touches, as the rich colours of folk costume -- seen, for instance, in velvet bands utilized to decorate balconies for religious processions -- also inspired Balenciaga's palette.

Perhaps the headgear of humble fishermen in Andalucia inspired a hat, which proceeded to feature around the front page of Vogue. Liturgical vestments in devoutly Catholic Spain were reworked into formal coats that made women seem like little cardinals, Saillard noted.

Blame Kate Middleton and her penchant for your pretty fabric but lace is everywhere. Continued from last season now it's less about saturated, sophisticated colours and much more about wide-eyed innocence. From fine French lace to hand-crafted broderie anglaise, acid tones to lace held in latex there's just one thing to do… Get it done.


Luxe Lace

Pile it on and mix things up. Delicate trimmed lace with pretty raw cut edges teamed having a heavy lace mini. It is all about contrast; delicacy with density, antique with modern. A Joanne Hynes crystal collar provides a dash of sparkle and Jeffrey Campbell Lita's add the right dose of stripper to counterbalance the lace! All is here balance…



Black Magic


You'll find nothing sexier than the usual pair of well cut trousers. Seriously, when you are used to residing in skinny jeans you forget how good they think against the skin and exactly how empowering they may be! Choosing black immediately makes lace sexy. Layer a slick lace blazer more than a sheer top with lace trim to complete it off. The feel trip makes lace feel modern. 









Acid
Tailoring and lace are a fantastic combo - like boy and girl, bangers and mash, Rumi Neely and Bryan Boy! Button up a crisp white shirt therefore the baby doll dress feels less twee. As you can tell I'm struggling to obtain past my penchant for neon, and neon and lace really are a match produced in Christopher Kane's vision of heaven. Gimpy stance optional…

Neon is the best trend to get a gal noticed about the red carpet, and Michael Kors' long-sleeve hot pink gown certainly is adequate! But who'd have guessed that 2 of Hollywood's hottest bodies would select the exact same so-bright-you've-gotta-wear-shades garment just 10 months apart? Do you know what that means: It is time for us to choose ... who wore it best?


Jennifer, 42, rocked the gown during "American Idol" in L.A. on March 22. Always anyone to heap about the jewelry, the "AI" judge added a black Hermes cuff, hoop earrings, black Gucci platform sandals, plus a sleek ponytail.
Brooklyn, 24, sported the style at the Met Gala in NYC long ago on May 2, 2011. The model-turned-actress permit her to gown do all of the talking, and take care of off her look having a silver clutch and nude strappy heels also by Kors.
I believe we can all agree that Lopez is hot in most situations! Here, the "On the Floor" singer's gown showcases her svelte physique (even though the fabric does gather just a little at the waist) plus it really compliments her dark hair and complexion. Not too fast, though, J.Lo! The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover style of 2010 have also been stunning within the design that hugged her curves out of all right places. She even comes with an advantage over her competition, because she chose minimal accessories and straightforward hair and makeup to select her attention-grabbing dress. For this reason, I declare Brooklyn the winner! Would you agree?

2012 Spring/Summer Top Trends Menswear : Head to Toe


posted by Fashionistas on the go on , ,

No comments

From straw hats to woven-detail shoes, listed here is a guide to the primary menswear trends for Spring/Summer 2012.




Wear a hat
Hats were big news around the catwalk for Spring/Summer 2012, with Prada and Givenchy favoring printed caps, Roland Mouret choosing preppy boater styles and Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Christian Dior offering classically summery straw hats. The second has been adopted by numerous traditional brands, with H&M offering many different straw trilby hats.


Embrace statement prints
Although color blocking was seen in the likes of Versace and all-citrus outfits were seen at Costume National Homme and Frankie Morello, it absolutely was all about prints in the Spring/Summer 2012 shows. Feminine prints were big at Givenchy, where wild floral motifs adorned lightweight sweaters. Pink flowers featured on shorts and tops at Kenzo, while bright printed jackets made an effect at Prada. It is not just designer names either; traditional retailers including Topman have embraced floral prints on short-sleeved shirts for that Spring/Summer season. Other motifs to check out for include summer plaid, pursuing the success of tartan shorts and jackets in the Jean-Paul Gaultier presentation.

Purchase a safari jacket
While bombers and cropped blazers almost stole the show through the Spring/Summer 2012 season, the emerging menswear must-have was the safari jacket. Popularized by Yves Saint Laurent within the 1970s, the belted jacket was reworked by labels including Marc Jacobs and Joseph Abboud, who teamed a canvas safari jacket with khakis. Roland Mouret offered belted cotton safari jackets, even though the global explorer look have also been big at Salvatore Ferragamo and Lv. Color-wise, khaki, black and navy will be the main shades to buy, although Trussardi presented an orange version.


Ditch the skinny slacks
Gentlemen can breathe a sigh of relief because wide-legged pants dominated the Spring/Summer 2012 menswear shows, making an effect at presentations in the likes of Issey Miyake and Kenzo. Stripy pajama-style pants offered a relaxed aesthetic at Hermès, while Emporio Armani went low-waisted for gray baggy pants. The loose-fitting slacks were made interesting from the addition of pleats at Calvin Klein Men's and Yohji Yamamoto -- who developed a nod towards the pastel trend with pale blue pleated pants.


Keep feet cool
The days are gone of sweating out in brogues or trainers through the entire summer months since the choice of sandals for males has never been greater. The town espadrille was one of many key blogs about the Spring/Summer 2012 presentations, with labels including Giorgio Armani embracing the buzz with a lace-up variety. Woven sandals feature within the Alexander McQueen menswear collection, while traditional store River Island has had the braided look and added laces for any smart aesthetic. Color-wise, tan dominated many components of footwear on the Spring/Summer 2012 designer shows, even though the likes of Vivienne Westwood offered colorful lace-ups in spotty and zebra prints.

Top Trends of Paris Fashion Week

After nine events of catwalk presentations, Paris Fashion Week ended March 7, with a few of the world's most prestigious fashion brands showcasing their Fall/Winter 2012 collections. This is a roundup of a few of the biggest trends to leave the event, where leather started in all shapes and sizes and green emerged like a contender to Milan and New York's omnipresent orange.


Not so great for ticklish fashionistas for Fall 2012 because feathers counseled me over Paris Fashion Week; with huge froths of pink plumage stealing the show at Alexander McQueen and models' faces being obscured by ornate feather creations in the Peachoo and Krejberg show. Other labels went for any more subtle accept the trend, with Zuhair Murad offering cocktail dresses decorated in sequins and feathers, Lv adorning Edwardian-influenced creations with feathers and jewels and Andrew Gn embellishing blouses with lace and feather appliqués.


An Eastern influence might be seen with a number of shows, having a Japanese blossom motif being embroidered onto chiffon blouses in the Leonard presentation and deconstructed kimonos making a direct effect at Maison Martin Margiela. Blousons with kimono had been seen at Damir Doma, Eastern-inspired and kimono shapes prints separated itself at Dries Van Noten. Japanese animation was referenced in the Mugler show, where models channeled in huge shouldered creations with hoods.


The information of choice at Paris Fashion Week needed to be leather, using a string of black leather creations like cape, jumpsuit, shorts, and a trench coat opening the Valentino show. The information was just as ubiquitous at Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy, with highlights on the former such as a long-sleeved leather tunic. Rogues loose-fitting red and brown leather pants and black leather pleated skirts accessorized with long black leather gloves. Hakaan went all-leather ensembles in burgundy, while leather harness detailing added edge at Arzu Kaprol.


As the domination of orange, neons and metallics seen through the previous fashion capital presentations continued into Paris, green seemed to be having a noteworthy moment. The Kenzo show began with several moss green pieces, while animal motif sweaters arrived brighter shades and green made a direct effect at Chanel. At Hermès, woolen coats and capes in bottle and officer greens made the feeling, while floral detailing and green fur evoked the impression of a forest at Lanvin and also at Adrian Runhof flowing sheer creations echoed green foliage.


Paris Fashion Week couldn't survive complete without some sparkle, and also this came aplenty because of the dominance of bejeweled creations. Models using their jewel-adorned eyebrows even walked a runway of glistening granite sand at Chanel's sparkling mineral-themed show, and at Vivienne Westwood jeweled Elizabethan-style tops took the show. Bejeweled jacket buttons were seen at Lv, where huge Swarovski adornments created for seriously blingy train cases. Meanwhile, at Balmain, pearl and crystal embellishment was everywhere, with late actress Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection providing a resource of inspiration for your collection.
