Clothes Women Love to See on Men
Of course this matter of what clothes women love to see on men is very subjective. It all depends on the type of woman, her lifestyle and the standards she lives by. But on the whole, there are certain common criteria that most women follow in their preference for clothes that they like to see on men. Here are some items that most women love to see in a man:
• Well-fitting clothes
Comfort is one thing, but if it’s as comfortable pajamas then they surely look like pajamas. Well-fitting clothes is one that shows off your physique in a flattering way.

A man in a suit has a certain appeal to women, especially when the suit fits perfectly and properly color coordinated.
• Great looking jeans
Women find men wearing great looking jeans sexy and great looking jeans mean jeans that fit perfectly. It is worth every penny you’ll spend on quality jeans, even designer jeans that look on you.
• Fine pair of shoes

Styling Fashion Tips for Men
Most men need all the help they can get to be able to navigate the overwhelming, and at times, intimidating world of fashion. To be able to appear well-groomed and dapper every time they venture out in the streets, it is imperative that men should appear well-put together, not necessarily in expensive and trendy clothes. Some simple style tips will go a long way in making a guy looking well-spruced and dapper.
• Wear dark (black) colors if you’re a little hefty
Men with a little bulk should not be afraid to wear anything they like particularly those in black. Black gives the illusion of slimness and it is classy, making a man in black looking very self-confident.
• Hide those boobs
Chubby men with “boobs” better head-off to the gym and firm-up the flab, in the meantime they should refrain from wearing clothes that cling, jiggling “boobs” are a big turn-off to most women.
• Use scent in moderation
If you can smell yourself then you have sprayed too much or if your scent lingers minutes after you’ve left a room, then your goal of smelling “good” is self – defeating. Wear scents or cologne in moderation, just a tiny hint will go a long way.
• Don’t display those hairy chest
If you have hairy chest, for goodness sake, don’t show them off. If you have to wear a V-neck shirt, make sure that you have an undershirt beneath it.
• Please, no socks with open sandals
Socks with sandals are tacky! Sandals should be worn with bare feet, clean bare feet with clean toe nails.
• Upgrade your glasses
If you’re wearing prescription glasses, make sure to upgrade the frame of your glasses at least every two years to keep up with what is current and in style. Since you wear them all the time, investing in quality glasses is a good and wise investment.

Here are some must-haves for the fall season that fashion-forward men should consider:

Compared to the more ordinary wool, velvet as a fabric for suit will make you stand out and be noticed. For men who want to impress, they should invest in a velvet sports jacket or better yet a velvet suit. A velvet sports jacket worn with trousers made of a different cloth or velvet trousers with another type of jacket or a velvet sports jacket and trousers together will set you apart from the herd.
An elegant scarf
Scarves are real must-haves for Fall not only to keep you warm but to provide color and texture to a cold weather outfit. But an elegant scarf made of silk or cashmere as the weather gets colder is The fashion statement.
Get yourself an elegant silk or cashmere scarf in solid colors or in plaid or checks in this autumn’s hottest colors of gold, raspberry wine, or burnt sienna for that perfect accent for your fall outwear.
Leather gloves
As the temperature drops you will need gloves to keep your hands warm. Leather gloves should be your best option when choosing what to buy.
Leather gloves are a must-have for this 2011 Fall. Choose thin but suitably lined and water resistant for that added protection and preferably in brown or tan color. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
The Popular Summer Fashion Look for Men 2011
To really look your stylish best this summer, look into some of this summer’s more popular male summer fashion styles:
The middle ground to dressy and casual
Most men view their closet into dressy for weekdays and casual for weekends, but in truth, there are middle grounds to this dual view – the dressy casual and the casual dressy
- Dressy casual
Begin with your dressy basics — a traditional blazer or a two- or three-piece suit, a classic dress shirt, and tie — and then loosen it up a little. Remove the tie for an open-neck look or change it for a scarf. Wear loafers instead of the lace-ups. It is all about bringing formal clothing down a peg.
- Casual dressy
Begin with your casual basics — chinos or shorts, a polo shirt, loafers or slip-ons — and deck it up a little. Top it with a blazer or even a vest and change the polo to a button-down shirt. Remove the sneakers and slip on suede bucks. It’s all about bringing the weekend norms to a higher level.
The printed short-sleeved shirt
Young and fashionable designers see the short sleeved shirt as an essential for summer. And even if it is a summer shirt, it is best trim, neat and tucked in pants and best worn outside the office. To spruce up the short-sleeved dress shirt, why not try it with patterns and prints. Ethnic prints like ikat from Central Aisa, kente from Africa and paisley prints from India and the summer favorite camo are only some ways of wearing short sleeve shirts with panache.
The summer leather jacket
For sure, a leather jacket is classic, but this summer’s leather jacket is not the bulky variety, but the soft, buttery, exceptionally thin, perforated kind that embraces you like a second skin. The perforation makes the jacket a lot lighter and let your skin breathe.
The sun faded or sea-washed look
The hot look this summer is that washed out look on denims, chinos or polos. Remember that special denims you’ve been wearing for years that have acquired a certain patina of washed out salt kissed or “sitting in the sun for years” color.
Summer Night Wear Fashion for Men
Summer Night Wear Fashion for Men
In summer, day time wear is not much of a problem. It is when the sun has set and there is a need to go out either with the boys or a date with a special someone that the dilemma comes. To find a happy mix between the laid back summer look and the dress code some places such as bars, restaurants or hotels require from their patrons is quite a predicament. Here are some suggestions on what to wear for those special summer evening:
Jeans and tee with a blazer
Jeans or denims paired with a tee are suitable for an evening out anywhere in town as long as a lightweight blazer is thrown in to the mix. To give that casually cool laid back look, push back the sleeves of the blazer.
Untucked polo shirt
An untucked cotton polo shirt, as long as the polo is designed to be untucked is a suitable evening outfit for summer when paired with cotton trousers and smart shoes. Opt for a crop polo shirt so that the back does not flop around.
Linen shirt and pants
Wrinkle –free Linen trousers and shirts are very cool, relaxed and a great sweat busting outfit that can be worn with nonchalance and flair. It is also an acceptable apparel in any bar, restaurant or hotel. Wear this outfit with boat shoes or loafers and you’ll be made for the evening.
Button down shirt and jeans
A button down shirt paired with jeans and worn with boots is another summer evening wear that is sexy and cool.
Yohji Yamamoto’s collection
Yohji Yamamoto’s collection for Spring/Summer 2011 is worth considering for appropriate summer evening wear for men, that is if you are the type of guy who follow trends and are not afraid to try something new and different.

Biggest Fashion Mistakes Men Make
Biggest Fashion Mistakes Men Make
Without realizing it, your fashion sense or more like, your lack of it, is not only offensive to your workmates but might also be a danger to your career. If your friends and workmates do not call your attention to your faux pas, this may be because they want to spare your feelings. But it is better that you know what these common fashion faux pas are so that you can check for yourself, see if you are guilty of any of it, and amend your ways for the sake of your career and the sanity of your workmates. Here are some of these fashion faux pas at work:
Wrinkled and stained clothes
Wrinkles and stains on clothes are signs of a shabby and untidy attitude not only towards your clothing but also towards life, a not very healthy attitude for your career move. Make sure that you arrive at work spiffy clean and all ironed – out by meticulously checking your clothes for stains after taking it off, after the wash and before you put it o, and using that flat iron to iron out creases and wrinkles. If you are averse to a flat iron, buy wrinkle – free clothes.
Backpacks
Backpacks are for hiking up a mountain not for climbing up the ladder of success. If you need a case to carry work papers or even a lap top then invest in a smart briefcase or a modern messenger bag.
Colorful Outfit
Too colorful an outfit may have work wonders for Joseph the Dreamer but it definitely won’t work for a working stiff. If you need to wear colors, limit them to just three colors per outfit. Learn also how to mix and match and abide by the rules of matching dark with light or light with dark.
Ill-fitting clothes
Whether it’s a suit, a jacket, pants or dress shirt, the key to look good is a good fit. You may be wearing a designer suit or one of those pricey jeans but they are still eye-sores when they are either too loose or too tight.
