Bad habits you should forget

Image
You don't realize it, but your clothing habits play a key role in your style. And the  more they are anchored, the more difficult it is to change them.  The most telling example that I have seen in  men fashion wear makeover is that of the man who has worn jeans that are too big throughout his life: imagine the difficulty we have in making him understand that we must buy jeans slightly tight at purchase! BAD CLOTHING HABITS It's exactly like food: We sometimes have the impression of eating well, in the end we eat anything ... and then we are surprised by the damage to our health (without knowing where they come from) . It's a bit like fast food:   It's the general public ready-to-wear supply that is responsible for these bad clothing habits . You have never had the (real) choice of trying on jeans that were well cut at the buttocks, or shirts with arms long enough for your body shape (apart from some Parisians, who have one of the best choices in th

THE ESSENTIAL SHOES FOR MEN

A PAIR OF BEAUTIFUL SHOES Shoes designate a pair of shoes, very often in leather, with a rigid sole regularly enhanced by a small heel. It is notably opposed to the sneaker. A nice pair of shoes should also be a  must have   in the male wardrobe.  Whether it is to complement a costume or to bring elegance to a casual outfit, you can not ignore it! Attention,  it is impossible to cheat on quality!   This is what you should favor at all costs because it will be seen right away. In general, here are two criteria to take into account: The quality of the leather : it should be soft, smooth, regular and have beautiful natural reflections in the light (if your pair shines brightly, it is a bad sign); The quality of the assembly , that is to say the way in which the different parts of the shoe are interconnected. Wide Choice of Shoes: Regarding aesthetics, there is  a wide choice of shoes suitable for different occasions or styles.  We have alre

Men Costumes

WHAT ABOUT THE COSTUME? Today, the suit is no longer considered a basic by all men. If some wear it every day because of their work environment, others have only one, much too large, stored in the back of the cabinet. It's a shame because, once you manage to appropriate the codes of the formal style ,  you can easily divert them to find your own style. Wear the mismatched suit, pair jeans with a blazer, replace suit pants with chinos ... In short, many combinations appear and mixing the codes becomes child's play. HOW TO CHOOSE A MEN Fashion Wear SUIT WHEN YOU START? To start, the best is to turn to a plain or semi-plain suit (with material effects or very discreet patterns). Navy blue or medium gray are two ideal colors for a first purchase. OUR BRAND RECOMMENDATIONS TO ACQUIRE A GOOD COSTUME COS  : good entry-level ready-to-wear. Count at least 300 euros, the minimum for a durable costume. SuitSupply  : Dutch brand that offers well-mad

Men Formal Pants

PANTS, MORE FORMAL THAN JEANS In the "pants" category, there are two main types: Chinos, made from cotton canvas, And suit pants, most often made of wool. There are other models like the cargo pants (also called mesh, with its two pockets on the side) or even the pleated pants, but they are not part of the basics per se. The main  quality guarantees of good pants  are thick pocket bags, stopping points on the edge of the pockets (equivalent to rivets on jeans), buttons in natural materials (horn, wood, etc.) or still solid zips (YKK produces very good ones). For the choice of size, just make sure that there is no excess material at the thighs, and that the belt follows the lines of your body (without yawning). If it is classic pants, suit, it is better to make a hem at a retoucher rather than rolling it. You can consult the very good article of Romain on the costume to become a real pro. Question style, the chinos is really an essential piece

GOOD RAW, SOLID AND DURABLE JEANS

GOOD DURABLE JEANS - MEN FASHION WEAR Regarding the jeans (but also for the pants that we will see later), I advise to dwell on three key places: The waist measurement  should be slightly tight, because jeans relax afterwards (unlike pants). In theory, you should be unable to tuck more than an inch between the jeans and your waist; if it is, it is fine for you. The fork,  that is to say the length at the crotch, must be slightly drooping to lengthen your figure (it contributes greatly to the aesthetic level). For  the leg opening  , a 17 or 18 cm is generally ideal. Beyond that, you will have the impression that a village of dwarfs has grown under your feet. Look mainly  for fitted or "semi slim" cuts  . A straight cut is too classic and, on the contrary, the "slim" cut gives the impression that your jeans were stolen from a schoolboy.    Good jeans depend on the quality of the canvas and its weight, b
