It is all about style and men need to get serious about it. It is time to take a few tough decisions. Firstly give up on the brand that does not sell a particular type of t-shirts that suit you. Wearing the right style of t-shirt is the first rule. Now you must be wondering what style will actually suit you. Read on to find out.

Neck styles to consider

Crew neck or v-neck or polo t-shirt, all these are the classic options available and any style is worth considering. If you are short height, go for v-neck t-shirts as they elongate your neck area and make you look a bit taller than your actual height. They also help you to balance the look if you have a round face. If you have a slim physique, a crew neck t-shirt is what you need. Crew neck t-shirts can make you look a bit broader. The best thing to do is to stick to the styles that have suited you best in the past. Do not try to experiment unless necessary. You may go wrong and then there is no looking back. You can also go for a Henley t-shirt. These tees are really picking up these days. You may have seen John Abraham wearing a Henley t-shirt on multiple occasions lately. He has an amazing physique and Henley t-shirt helps him flaunt it really well.

 

Fabrics

Most men tend to buy t-shirts with a thicker fabric; though this has nothing to do with the climatic conditions. Men have a habit of associating the weight of fabric with the quality. Heavier the fabric, better the quality! Here is a myth breaker for all those who thought this way. In case of t-shirts, lighter the fabric, better it is. You are wearing a t-shirt for the comfort that it offers and while choosing the fabric you pick on a heavy one. What’s the point, then? Go for a fabric that is light in weight as you are going to wear it all day. A good quality thin fabric can make you feel slim, light and cool.

Do they fit?

This is the first question you should ask yourself when you look at your collection of tees. Do they fit? If the answer is a no, even for a single tee, just get rid of it. Nobody likes a poor fit. A poor fitted t-shirts just spoils your image instantly. It tells the world that you don’t care about yourself. The shoulders, the sleeves, everything needs to fall at the right place. The t-shirts with perfect fitting compliment your physique effortlessly. Achieve the right with the following rules. If you love to flaunt your arms, just a couple of folds and you are good to go. Your t-shirt should comfortably fit the shoulder area. If you have a slim waist, look for t-shirts with a tapered cut so that it does not highlight the area you don’t want to show.

Colours

With all due respect to your choice, opt for basic colours first when you plan to revamp your wardrobe. For those who do not know, the basic colours are black, white, grey and navy blue.

A white t-shirt is just perfect. Nothing is better than a white t-shirt on a hot sunny day. Team it up with a pair of cobalt blue denim jeans and you are good to go. White t-shirts look good on people with all types of skin tones. If it’s a grey, just pick any shade and it will suit you. Grey looks best on people who have a good physique, no offence to all the others. Black, need we say more. Any wardrobe on this earth is incomplete without a bunch of black t-shirts. Just avoid black when it is too hot outside. That’s the only season when we don’t miss black. And, here comes my favourite-navy blue. The best part about a navy blue t-shirt is that it looks as smart as black and it can be worn on both formal and casual occasions. These were the basics; however you can also experiment with other colours preferably on weekends unless you work for creative agencies. T-shirt is the only outfit which allows you to experiment with colours, make the most of it!

Trousers- Shoes-Socks- Matching Guide

Dressing up is such a simple task but it also gets complicated at times. Getting the simple things right is so annoying. When you are running late, it is the tie that just won’t fit properly or sometimes the cuff button won’t get buttoned properly. Sometimes even such things bother us and we tend to lose patience.

I was invited to a wedding reception last week. I was standing in front of my wardrobe looking for the right combination. That’s when I realised matching trousers with shoes is such a tedious task. Which colours will perfectly match was the big question. I was all set in mind of what clothes I was going to wear- a black shirt, a pair of dark green coloured trousers. I was completely puzzled when it came to wearing the matching shoes and socks along with my attire. I was wondering if I am the only one or do other people also struggle with the selection. This is when I thought of writing this article on how to match your attire with your footwear, more specifically on how to match your trousers with your socks and shoes. Now this could be for any occasion- a business meeting, a family gathering or just regular working hours. This article will put an end to most of your basic fashion dilemmas.

Matching socks with trousers

Let’s start from the first element after you have dressed up. I am sure most people are pretty clear with matching their trousers with shirts. So I will just move ahead and start with socks. The first and foremost rule of matching your socks with your trousers is that your socks should exactly match the colour of your trouser or should be darker than your trousers. For instance, navy blue socks will match with your blue trousers and charcoal grey socks will match with your steel grey trousers. This rule changes when it comes to brown. The colour brown includes all your khaki, beige and tans. In this scenario, your socks should be a shade darker than your shoes. If you are planning to wear a strip or checkered socks, avoid picking a print that is too loud. Match the base colour of your sock with the trousers.

Matching shoes with trousers

In a regular scenario, your shoes and your pair of trousers will be visible. The only time people can see your socks is when you are seated. Matching your shoes with the trousers and not vice versa is the right thing to do. Here are some common colour combinations to help you out. A pair of blue trousers will match well with both black and brown shoes. And the same logic is applied for the pair of grey trousers. With a pair of brown trousers, it is much easier; you can stick to brown shoes and nothing else. Black trousers go well with black shoes or even tan shoes for a bolder look.

If you are buying a pair of trousers online or shoes for that matter, check the colour and size properly before placing an order. The perfect fit is the first and foremost rule of fashion. No matter how great your combination is, a poor fit can spoil it all. Look for the size chart and order it as per your size.
