Casual Wear For Men
Casual Wear For Men 2010, 2011 Tips
Casual wear for men can be both confusing and full of fashion faux pas. When dressing casually, in any season and for any situation, it is important to know the general dos and don’ts of casual wear for men. Doing so can help you avoid looking foolish, stay stylish, and keep you on the appropriate track. Just like women, there are things men should and shouldn’t do in regards to fashion.
DO wear appropriate length clothing. No matter the season, but mostly for summer, it is important for your shorts, sleeveless shirts, and even in some cases your tee shirts, to be an appropriate length. This means shorts hit the knees, sleeveless shirts don’t show too much side, and tee shirts don’t look like they’re made for women in their cuts. DON’T wear shoes that are completely inappropriate for the outfit. No socks, sandals and khakis, no work boots with shorts, and no button downs with no collars. These tips may seem like common sense to some, but for others it is simply a matter of confusion.
DO wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Being in the latest styles doesn’t really do much for you if you can’t breathe, look badly, or work hard on keeping your underwear out of bad places all day long. By being comfortable and confident, you exude an aura that makes what you’re wearing look better, both to you and everyone around you. Confidence is what makes an outfit work, not the clothes themselves.

All Time Classics for Men
All Time Classics for Men 2010
Men, like women, have that “little black dress,” the classic pieces of clothing that never go out of style. For women, this includes the little black dress, the red high heels, and the perfect hand bag. For men, the list is a little less known – especially among the men themselves. These staple pieces are important to know and understand though, because without them no man would ever have that perfect outfit for any situation. Pay attention fellas.
Number one is the little black button down. You know, with the collar, buttons, and long sleeves. Perfect for parties, get-togethers, office events, and your kids’ school activities. This classic piece can do no wrong. Another classic piece for a man’s wardrobe – all time classic that is – is the khaki pants. These pants are just a little bit dressier than jeans and a little less so than suit pants, making them perfect for those events where you’re not sure if you’re supposed to dress casual or dressy. Paired with the black button down, the khakis are the equivalent to the woman’s red high heels. Speaking of shoes, the third and final staple of the man’s closet is a great pair of shoes. Depending on the climate in your area, you may have to extend this number to one per season – the shoes should be a neutral color and go well with the majority of your wardrobe. This is important because the wrong shoes can break the outfit – even the button-down black shirt and khaki combination.

This is probably the biggest reason that modern men have so much trouble styling themselves and shopping/buying/dressing in the latest styles. There are a few very general rules however that make the modern times a little more understandable. They may seem obvious at first, but in a world where men think they are behind in styles, they are very useful tips.
The first thing you should know about the modern men’s fashions is that there are no rules that are set in stone. Today’s time more than any other include such a variety of styles and personal tastes, and a tolerance of the different tastes we all have, that the only place where there are rules are places with dress codes and places where clicks form and are maintained. When shopping for men’s clothing in today’s modern times, it is important to know your personal style, what looks good on you, and what you feel the most confident in. If this means all stripes all the time, so be it. Loving the plaid? Okay. Because of our varied culture, it is acceptable and celebrated to do what you like – this is the true hallmark of the 2000s.

Attracting the Opposite Sex, What Men Should Wear
Attracting the Opposite Sex, What Men Should Wear
As we know, men will sometimes dress in the exact same way to hang out with the guys and attract women. What we also know, however, is that this probably shouldn’t be. Gym clothes and socks/sandal combinations shouldn’t happen around members of the opposite sex you are trying to attract. The good news is that you don’t have to change yourself, just alter your style a little to be acceptable for meeting women. Follow these tips for help in your lady search.
Tip number one: you don’t have to stop wearing your favorite band’s concert tees. In fact, many women love that kind of slouchy look on men. The trick is to just make sure it’s clean. Unlike your beer stained hangout shirts, concert tees you wear when meeting girls should be cleaned and groomed, so that she can see the shirt without stopping at a distance because of the smell.
Tip number two: socks and sandals are never okay. Well, never okay in the presence of any woman you could conceivably call wife some day. Try buying a nice pair of flip flops with leather or woven straps and wear them without socks.
Tip number three: khakis are your friend. Remember those concert tees? What about your favorite holey sweater or button down long sleeve? Try wearing any of those with khakis and you automatically get groomed and cute points with the ladies. This is because khakis are a step above jeans and a step below suit pants – a perfect balance for an old concert tee – and they look good on virtually everyone.
Decade Mens Fashions, The 90s
Decade Mens Fashions, The 90s
Some men can’t get out of the 90s. Some men are current with their fashion but long for the styles of the 90s. The truth is that the decade of the 90s is fast approaching a decade worthy of a costume party theme. Some parties are already including them, and it’s important for men to know about it. A little knowledge about the decade of the 90s will help greatly, whether you want to dress that way again or are going to a theme party.
Shoes of the 90s are varied and very eclectic. They range anywhere from the flip flop to the knee boots (yep, for men too). Pants were often whatever was comfortable – however, this is the decade where the different styles started breaking up into different clicks, such as tighter jeans for cowboys, looser pants for more urban lifestyles, etc. It’s hard to label the styles of this decade because of how varied they really are. Shirts were also extremely varied – one of the bigger styles however was the saying or motto shirts with clever, funny, or even offensive sayings on them. Headwear, like everything else, was extremely varied – as a general rule however, headbands were out and in were slouchy hats like ball caps, fedoras, berets, and even cowboy hats.
Knowing the 90s is easy for some of us, but in reality there is no defining the 90s style, because the people, places and styles varied so much by then that it wasn’t easily definable, and hasn’t been since.
