What You Need To Know About Summer Suiting

It gets to that time of year when everyone has booked their events for the Summer. It’s great for all involved as catching some rays has never been a bad thing, but it can be difficult to then adjust your outfit to the heat. A suit can get too hot, but what else is acceptable, say for a Summer wedding?

From the fabric to the color, everything plays a part. You’ll want to look as slick and smart as possible but without sweating too much. In this guide. you’ll have everything you’ll ever need to know about the best men’s summer suits, so you’ll still be looking suave while still keeping cool.

Ten Questions To Ask On A First Date Guaranteed To Get The Conversation Flowing

First dates can be exciting and amazing, but they can also be nerve-wracking and awkward, especially with someone you hardly know. And while, sure, they’re meant to be a precursor to an actual relationship, first dates are also mini interviews disguised as social outings, whether we like to admit it or not. That’s why first date questions are so important.

A foolproof way to ensure that conversation will always be flowing is to simply ask your date things, although—given the fact that we never know how comfortable others are with casual conversation—that might be easier said than done.

There is nothing more erotic than good conversation.

The trick to successfully vetting a potential suitor on a first date, while simultaneously keeping the energy light and fun, is knowing what questions to ask and how to ask them.

Family, hobbies, pop culture, music, and of course things they post to their online dating profiles are all surefire bets. Also, asking about your date’s job is always fail safe. People love knowing that you take their work and ambitions seriously. So, start off there.

Then fire off whimsical questions, like what, as a child, they wanted to be when they grew up.  Unexpected topics can provide more insight into their personality – and opportunity for flirtation – than typical get-to-know-you chatter. Niche questions will really impress your date and set you up for a second.

How To Keep Your White Shirts White

As much as a white shirt can provide you with a myriad of outfit options – especially during the warmer weather – it’s very highly prone to its fair share of wear and tear. Not only are they a magnet for stains, but they also have the tendency to discolor in certain areas leading to yellowing around the collars, cuffs and armpits.

Don’t fret, though! We, too, know exactly how frustrating this can be, especially when you’ve only worn said shirt a handful of times and you end up with ketchup on your front or unsightly yellow rings under your armpits after a just a few sweaty commutes.

So to help you keep those white shirts whiter for longer this spring and summer, here’s a few pointers to bear in mind next time you’re doing your laundry.

How To Introduce Color To Your Daily Wardrobe

Wearing color can be difficult for a lot of people. Nobody wants to be the person that looks like a traffic light and stands out like a sore thumb. You also don’t want to wear colors that do not complement your body colors, such as your skin tone and hair color, as that too will only harm your overall image.  Besides, Jay Z did say, “All black everything.” which pretty much kills wanting to put a pop of color into your wardrobe.

But as we’ve stated before, a little color in your wardrobe can do some powerful things. As long as you’re selective about what you pair together – it shouldn’t clash or look overdone – adding a little color will simply add some interest to your outfit.

Here’s how to introduce color into your wardrobe with confidence.

5 Ways To Dress Up Your Casual Looks

So you need to look sharp but not flashy. Something casual, but not too casual. What to do? The answer is simple: dress-up a casual outfit. Here’s just how simple it is to smarten up a casual look if you have the following five items in your wardrobe:

1. Button-down shirt

A button-down shirt with a turn-down collar is by far the easiest way to dress-up a casual look, even when it’s worn untucked with sneakers… A button-down collar and cut from Oxford-cloth will do, but since they’re more casual anyway, this shirt should feature either a point or spread collar and made from either a poplin (broadcloth), herringbone, or twill weave.

 

2. Lightweight knit sweater

Lightweight knitwear is another simple and effective way to smarten up a casual outfit. Whether you throw it on top of a T-shirt, or layer it over a dress shirt, it’s guaranteed to add an elegant edge to your outfit. Remember normal layering rules apply!

 

20 Inspiring Closet Ideas For Men Who Love Their Image

1. Create a focal point

Create a focal point in your closet by spotlighting one of your collections such as your ties, watches, or shoes. In the example above, a tie collection is under the spotlight and creates a delightful focal point as one steps in.

 

2. Anchoring the ‘room’

In a spacious walk-in closet with ample storage, you have more room and therefore more freedom to get creative and anchor the space as if it’s another room in your house. Desk areas or sofas work best in these situations as they’re also functional rather than just ornamental.

 

3. Minimalism meets function

Modern minimalism is welcomed in contemporary homes, especially in a masculine wardrobe where simplicity encourages organization.
