Some Fashion Tips for Men How to Wear Loafers
Loafers are slip-ons, lace-less shoes. These shoes have become increasingly popular among fashionable men. They are available in varying styles, designs, colours and sizes. A lot of footwear companies manufacture these shoes for men. Some of the popular styles with these shoes include tassel loafer, penny loafer, slip on loafer, driving loafer, slip on buckle loafer and smart casual loafer.
Men often find difficulty in deciding whether to wear loafers with socks or without socks. It is definitely acceptable to wear these shoes without a pair of socks when wearing khakis. It gives the person a preppy look. This look in fact very well suits individuals from affluent families or frat boys. In fact, there are a lot of people who wear these shoes without socks when enjoying a nice day on beach or while sailing. When attending more casual occasions, it’s best to wear these shoes without socks.
A lot of people worry about excessive sweating of their foot and thus the foot odour from not wearing a pair of socks with the shoes. In such a case, it is a good idea to add some foot powder to the shoes. This would absorb the wetness and would reduce the risk of the feet getting damp.
For formal occasions, wearing loafers with socks is a good idea. Tan or brown socks goes quite well with a loafer. However, a fashion conscious person must never wear these shoes without socks when wearing any kind of sporty pant or jeans.
Just wearing these shoes without taking proper care of them is not at all a good idea. If proper care is not taken of these shoes, some days later, you would have to invest again in a pair of these shoes because the one that you had bought few days before is unable to perform well for you had not taken care of it or maintained it properly. Thus, it is very important to clean the loafers whenever it is dirty. This would keep these shoes in its best conditions. Given below are the steps for cleaning the loafers:
Take a towel and soak it in warm water.
Rub the towel around the footwear to remove any kind of dirt.
Take a tooth brush and apply the sole dressing along the shoe’s edges.
Take the jar of polish and by using a brush apply it to the shoe in circular motions. Let it dry for few minutes.
Give the shoe a manly buffing.
Take the towel and remove the excess polish from your shoe.
These men’s fashion shoes are available in the high street shops. But if you want to make your selection of shoes from a plenty of variety, then online shoe shops must be your choice. However, before buying the shoe from an online store, always ensure that the shop offers returns policy, charges affordable rates for shipping and stocks the size or brand that you are looking for.

men’s fashion and style men’s bags and why you need to bag them
A long time ago, men needed bags when they a. travel and b. deliver mail. Not much use for bags, I know. But fast-forward to the present, to this day and age, and we find not just the modern man, but also the alpha male. While the modern man rethinks theories about his species, the alpha male shows us how. And bag-wise, it’s like this. The modern man has bags, buys bags and actually uses them. On the other hand, the alpha male has THE bags, buys THE bags and actually flaunts them. The modern man is fashionable, the alpha male is fashion- forward. And no fear, both categories are gender-dysphoria-safe. And besides, stereotype-dwelling individuals are no longer given the time of day because, if you don’t know yet, it was found that conservatism and archaeology are two different things.
Below are different kids, types, of bags that you may consider having. Alright let’s make that I wish you would consider having. Although each bag has its own particular use, there are no boarding school-strict rules when it comes to crossing over or interchangeability. The operative word is common sense. Like you don’t bring a man-purse to the gym or a luggage set to the boardroom.
.
luggage/luggate sets
The days of the ‘cardboard box as luggage’ are long over, so move on…and with style. Luggages now come in sets, with overnighters, uprights, suitcases and smaller receptacles for your hand-carries. They also come with wheels and retractable handles. You can also opt for just a piece of the set but consider what suits your needs. But it’s always better to have options.
carryall/holdall
From the duffel bags of your come the carryalls. As the name suggests, this bag was created for taking care of what you would be needing for a day or two in the country or a conference in Vegas. Typically made of leather, the carryall defines a man’s refinement and puts the class in classy.
postman/messenger bag
Slung across the body, this bag has crossed boundaries – from the academe to biometricised saltmines to Starbucks. Yep, it has been the bag of choice for the man about town and beyond. And options abound in terms of style and material used – but leather tops my list.
body bag
Not to be confused with ‘cadaver pouches’, body bags are also worn like the messenger bag only that they are structured to slightly hug the body. There are even those that are contoured like a body brace for a more secure feel.
tote
Another bag that affords the owner versatility is the tote. Carrying on from where the briefcases landed, the tote morphed the hardy handles of the former to soft and less rigid grips and replaced the boxy exterior to a more relaxed facade.
gym/duffel bag
Almost always cylindrical, the gym bag is a must have for the fitness buff. No other kind of bag belongs to the gym as this bag because of its compartmentalized interior – think wet towels, energy drinks, cellphone. Also, they now come in various styles and are no longer confined to that ‘off to war’ aura.
camera/pouch bag
The pockets of your jeans can only hold so much paraphernalia and cargo pants are things of the past if you’re not a carpenter. And because these are actually facts of life, get a camera bag if you think a messenger bag is too roomy. Styles range from laid back canvas, to chic clubbing leather.
briefcase
Like this Prada calfskin briefcase on the right, modern briefcases do bring the man who lugs them power that is not hard on the eyes as sharp edges have been replaced with stylish but manly curves and the sheen of the buckles raises the flair factor level. It’s about time that you return to your father his briefcase even if you inherited his business.
man-purse
Alright, the man-purse is probably the skinny jeans of men’s accessories. Yes, they’re the hardest to sell. But hear me out. The man-purse is bigger than the average wallet, therefore can hold your breath freshener, your passport and other IDs, the um, ‘raincoat’, loose change and probably your toothbrush and some ‘mini-mized’ toiletries, too.
knapsack/backpack
The knapsack is the ultimate rugged bag. Though their style have been rethought, they are still worn the same way and their basic structure has been retained. Moreover, they are still popular in campuses because of their very roomy interior and uncumbersome appeal. Make the knapsack bigger, add more compartments and insert metal frames, and voila, you have a backpack.
laptop bag
If you have a laptop, it is mandatory that you have a laptop bag. ‘Nuff said.

some care tips
If you like your bags or they cost you big bucks, the key to maintaining their appearance and thereby prolonging their um lives is proper cleaning and storage.
Leather is prone to mold and bacteria that may lead to sooner than expected wear and tear. Store your bags in breathable cloth/fabric bags and as far away as possible from any possible source of heat like direct sunlight. Do not use plastic bags as they are conducive to bacterial growth. When cleaning, use damp cloth and remember to not use cleaning agents as alcohol and other chemicals might cause dullness or discoloration. Keep in mind that perfumes also contain alcohol. For tougher stains, apply chalk powder and let stay for at least a day before dusting off.
As for canvas bags, do not wash and hang. Direct application of water causes the canvas to lose its shape. Yes, they are tougher than leather but they can also be ruined. Cloth or sponge dipped in a water and fabric condition solution (a mild amount would suffice) and thoroughly wrung (damp not wet) would take care of the dust or mold.
When your bags are not in use, specially for a lengthier than usual period, stuff them with crumpled paper to keep them in proper shape and prevent wrinkling or creasing. You may also cover the metallic parts to avoid abrasions.
For more extensive ‘how-to’s’ ask the salesperson or the store manager where you bought your bag or check out the manufacturer/designer’s web site for more specific care tips.

Men’s Fashion – The Well-Dressed Man Women Love
Contrary to what society would have one believe, women are not flocking to the man with his pants at his ankles and 3lbs worth of jewelry hanging from his ears, arms, and chest. Instead, women typically prefer a man who looks as if he just stepped out of GQ magazine — the often overlooked neat and conservative fellow. However, these neat and conservative dressers are oftentimes overshadowed by the millions of men who commit fashion suicide on a daily basis. Tube socks with dress suits, ill-fitted suits, and mismatched or over-coordinated apparel are just a few of the fashion mistakes men make. Don’t be ashamed if you are perpetrator of these crimes against fashion. A sense of fashion does not come overnight. The following tips will help you become more fashionable with easy to implement strategies to help improve your wardrobe and overall appeal.
Fashion crimes to avoid:
The Hangover Suit
Topping the list of turn offs for women is a man who shows up wearing a suit that looks as if it was used as pajamas the night before. Having a clean and crisp appearance is vital if you wish to appear the least bit presentable. It doesn’t take much to go over your clothes with an iron the night before, or at the least, invest in getting your suits cleaned once a week at your neighborhood cleaners.
Taste the Rainbow
Believe it or not, women look at even the most subtle fashion combinations. You can then understand why it is important to choose wisely when coordinating your shirts, ties, and suit coats. There are certain patterns that clash with each other. Take for example the following fashion suicide combination: a plaid jacket, polka dot tie and striped shirt. This is too much pattern concentrated in one place. Be wise. One pattern should never overpower the other. Instead, it should accentuate its counterpart. If you wish to combine items, combine colors, not patterns, to make your outfit pop. By mixing darker colors with its lighter partner on the color wheel you are able to help both items make a statement without overdoing it.
The Roman Solider
Look, we know you have muscles! There is no need to exaggerate it with 5 inch shoulder pads sewn into your suits. Avoid this look like the plague.
Shaggy the Dog
Did you forget that you have a head too? Don’t be the man who is dressed well — from the neck down. The total package includes your head too. Ensure that you are clean shaven, have a neat haircut, and are not sporting a unibrow. Women are visual creatures too and make mental notes of even the little details.
Metro Man Phobia
Having the least bit of fashion sense does not make one any less masculine. Items like the fit of a coat, correct sleeve length, polished shoes, and correct accessorizing go a long way in complementing or ruining a gentleman’s image. Neatness need not be expensive. Men are oftentimes slow to warm up to style changes. Just like a woman, men need some color in their wardrobe too! If your closet consists of only white shirts, it is time to spice things up. Seek out colors that compliment your skin tone. If you are unsure of what colors to choose, seek the advice of knowledgeable women in your life, or the sales associate at Macys. Furthermore, “accessories” is not a term monopolized by women. Men can accessorize their wardrobe with items such as a handkerchief, cuff links, or even a watch to turn a drab suit into a fabulous suit.
Terrible Tube Socks
Did you know that women enjoy foot candy on a man too? However, you are not satisfying any woman’s sweet tooth by ruining your outfit with the flash of white tube socks against a black suit and polished shoes. There is no sight more disturbing than to see white socks flashing beneath the pant legs of a well-dressed man. To avoid this costly mistake, your socks should be of a dark, solid color to blend or match the suit, and of the higher styling kind such as silk or a thin cotton/nylon blend. In addition to choosing the appropriate sock material, men should also pay close attention to the length of their socks. Don’t be the man who carelessly crosses his leg and reveals a stump of hairy shin exposed between his trouser cuff and shoe top. Lastly, don’t walk out the door with shoes that look as though you just walked through a construction zone. Unpolished shoes can ruin a good looking outfit. Make sure that your shoes are well polished before stepping out the door.
A man is considered a great dresser when he takes time selecting what he wears. By properly coordinating your outfits and evaluating your appearance before you leave out the door, you can ensure that you are not counted in the pack of fashion faux pas committers.
Men’s Leather Gloves Sexy Winter Styles
Leather gloves on men are sexy. Take a moment to get your mind around that boys, cos it’s true. It may not be something women consciously think of when they’re checking you out, but they are aware of it on some level. Leather gloves – the right leather gloves – symbolize power. Please don’t ask me why, as that would take far too long to explain. Just trust me when I tell you it’s true. Also trust me when I tell you women are genetically programmed to like men with power. Well, those who aren’t genetically programmed to like women, anyway. So do yourself a favor and make your next pair of winter gloves a leather pair of winter gloves. Or pleather, if you’re vegan or something – just make sure it looks like leather. Take a look at these sexy glove styles.Portalano Leather Gloves:
These are your classic hot-daddy leather gloves. Simple and elegant, with a bit of fancy stitching down around the cuff. These can be worn any time, any place, by any man. Those willing to spend the dosh, that is. And yes, that’s a lot of dosh.
Cost: $145
Wilson’s Knit Cuff Gloves
These aren’t terribly classy or sophisticated, but they are certainly masculine. Which translates into sexy. You can wear these with a puffy coat, a leather jacket, or any other kind of sporting gear – but don’t wear them with a dress coat, cos that would be a little strange.
These are not trendy gloves, so go with something else if all you want to do is make a fashion statement the next time you pop into your local disco. These are true winter gloves.
Cost: $40
Wilson’s Motorcyle Gloves
if you don’t feel like visiting Wilson’s at the mall, you can find these at any motorcyle shop. Yes, they are meant for men who actually ride motorcyles. So are motorcyle jackets, but that doesn’t stop loads of men from wearing them, now does it? So don’t feel silly getting you a pair of these, cos them’s some sexy gloves.
They’re nice and warm and come with that nifty zipper to ensure a snug fit. They have a thinsulate lining and padded knuckles, in case you wander into a bar full of real bikers.
Cost: $40
Viper Kevlar Gloves
These are not only sexy, they’re made of Kevlar! If that’s not an ice-breaker, I don’t know what is. Of course, you’ll probably have to explain what Kevlar is… and then you’ll probably have to explain why you need a pair of gloves made out of it. But hey, you’ll look cool while you’re doing it!
Cost: $50
Wilson’s Unlined Dress Gloves
Wilson’s has a fleece-lined version of these, but I’ve included this particular style for a reason; some men hate gloves. Some men would rather go without them cos they feel overheated when wearing something padded for warmth. Well, this is your solution, men. Wear something that’s not padded.
These are ventilated and will not get you all hot and bothered by their presence. Instead, you’ll feel chic and sexy – cos that’s precisely how you’ll be looking to the ladies.
Cost: $28
Extra Tips:
Black is your safest bet.
Avoid colors like white or cream which show dirt easily.
Avoid colors like red or green, which are way, way too 80s.
If you like the style but wish they were warmer, you can always buy glove inserts.
Avoid anything wih lots of zippers – one is plenty. More, and you’re channeling Michael Jackson.
If it’s chilly outside but not cold enough for heavy coat, you can always go with a sweater, scarf and dress gloves – it looks sexy, trust me!
–
So there you are, my favorite glove styles for men. You can buy them at any mall, and you can probably find them much cheaper than the prices listed if you check ebay and other online outlets.
