Spring Fever-Top 10 Spring Look for Men

Bonjour, Paris! We simply can’t wait any more. Where is the spring?

You know that kind of feeling, when the warm sunshine in a March afternoon flickering through your fingers, the refreshing breeze kisses your cheeks, the aroma of the blossoming flowers seduce you unconsciously, the singing of birds standing on a sprouting branch wakes your inner desire and smell of adrenaline and testosterone in the air…We want a spring like that! Not a snowy, windy, icy and bitchy spring as you are presenting!

Hereby we carefully selected some expert spring fashion trends for men from top magazines, which are followed by Top 10 Spring Look we like for the guys who are craving for a spring like us.

1. Stripes: Stripes are always popular around the fourth of July for a nautical feel but this spring stripes will be more prevalent.

4. Bold patterns:  Bold patterns have been seen all over the runways for spring. The bolder the better and if you’re really daring mix two different patterns in the same color family.

5. Navy suits: The typical black suit or tux has been replaced with navy, courtesy of Tom Ford. It still provides the sophistication you want just with an updated color.

To Cut or Not to Cut…

There are three main types of suits, or I should say cuts of suit, the American, European & British.  To the uninitiated most suits look pretty much the same but the more you look and wear them you will notice the differences quite quickly.

American Cut

Made popular in the 1920’s by Ivy Leaguers it was known as the “sack suit”.  The American cut has natural shoulders, one vent in the back, strait hanging lines and flap pockets.  Traditionally there are three buttons, but only the middle one is ever used, as the top one is actually part of the lapel.  The look is one of comfort, looser fit and wider armholes.

British Cut

The classic British suit has a militaristic feel with two buttons, two vents and a tapered waist.  The armholes are higher than the American style; the fastened button is to the waist, making the jacket appear longer.  The shoulders have more shape than the American cut.  All these elements are designed to give a contoured and fitted look.  The Double-Breasted suit is also a British cut of suit.

European Cut

Also known as the Italian Cut, the European usually has padded shoulders.  Typically there are no vents, but occasionally you will find the two vents like the British cut.  The jacket has a pronounced V-shape design and flapless pockets.

The American and European cuts have become more similar to each other over time; probably because they are closer in style to each other than that of the British cut.  The American cut is becoming more slimming while the European cut has a less pronounced V shaped jacket.  Part of this merging of styles is also due to general style trends, which currently favors British type cuts, while in the 90’s the trend favored American styles.

To find out what your style is, try them on.  Some men will prefer the more fitted feel of the British cut, while others will like the roominess of the American; ultimately the perfect suit will come down to your body type, comfort and personal preferences.

HOWEVER, cut is not the only thing….here we’ve find this amazing video to give you more tips str8 from the experts 😉

What Color to wear for your interview?

Preparing for your interview next week? Who doesn’t want to look sharp and smart? And more specifically, what color that will put you in the best and may give you an advantage?

Research has indicated that nonverbal communication can contribute up to 85% between human interactions; so choosing what to wear to an interview clearly plays an important role of your presentation.
Here’s what some common colors convey for your consideration

• Blue: You can’t go wrong with darker shades of blue. Choosing from this powerful spectrum will project an image of someone who is in control. The color blue conjures up calm, stability, trust and confidence. These are all great messages to send without saying a word.
• 
• Gray: After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, it’s not a distracting color to the interviewer, which means they’ll be focused more on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Gray denotes sophistication, so use your charm and run the magic.
  
• Black: This is a commanding color. Black also connotes drama, so use it carefully when putting together your interview outfit. You may want to use it as an accent — like in a scarf or tie, for instance — rather than as the primary color.
•  
• Red: This is an extremely powerful color. It’s so strong you should only use it as an accent color. Reds are associated with energy, passion, desire, power and aggression. People think of intensity and passion when they see the color red.
  
• White: White shirts and blouses are always a safe bet. It sends the message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision and goodness.

Knowing what job interview clothes to wear makes a statement about who you are. Choosing the right colors will reinforce that positive impression.
