		<description><![CDATA[When putting together a look for the evening, a simple fashion accessory like a watch or hat can make an average look appear to be straight out of GQ. Historically speaking, the simple, understated touches in men's fashion seem to have the most impact. With this in mind, below are a few low-key fashion accessories that should be in every mans closet.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A mans sense of fashion is much more than the shirt and pants they choose to wear. In order to complete a look that is complimentary to their personal taste, a bit of time should be spent in picking out the right fashion accessories that will withstand the test of time. To help you with this daunting subject, we&#8217;ve put together a few stylish options that you can easily add to your wardrobe.</p>
<p>The Irish Cap &#8211; Although this hat has many different names and styles, its look is unique and indistinguishable. What was once reserved for Ireland and golf courses, the Irish cap has become a mainstream fashion accessory for men. Whether you choose the newsboy style, the driving cap, or the traditional tweed herringbone, there&#8217;s a style and color to fit your unique personality.</p>
<p>Formal Hats &#8211; If you&#8217;re looking to add a bit of style and sophistication to your look, then a formal fur felt hat is a fantastic choice. While they were most popular in the early 1900s, they&#8217;ve seen an astounding comeback in the fashion industry. Nowadays, these hats usually compliment a more casual look, but they can still be worn formally with a suit and tie. With the amount of styles, patterns, and colors to choose from, you can certainly select a hat that reflects your unique taste.</p>
<p>Belts &#8211; A highly functional part of any mans wardrobe, the belt can easily be considered a fashion accessory. While canvas and imitation leather belts are the more economical choice for your look, they&#8217;re not the wisest. These materials can easily split and wear within a short period of time, so in order to get a few years out of your belt, you should select one made from genuine leather. Blacks and browns can compliment almost any style, and the buckle you choose should reflect your overall look. For example, a casual outfit with jeans can be accessorized with a large cowboy-style buckle, while a business suit should only have a low-profile, sleek black leather belt.</p>
<p>Complimenting your look is much more than picking out accessories that simply look great, its about making the right choice for you. Typically, you&#8217;ll want to be able to wear a belt or hat with more than one look, so while your selection may be incredibly stylish, you may not be able to wear it as often as you want to. This becomes more important when you&#8217;re spending a modest amount of money after all, the whole point of accessorizing your look is to actually be able to wear it. If you steer clear of bright colors and distracting patterns, you&#8217;ll find that your items will compliment a wider variety of your closet, which means you can wear your brand new accessories more often than not.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Shoe shopping is not exactly the most exciting activity a man can think of. However, having fashionable footwear is an important step in not only feeling about what you're wearing, but to show others that you know how to dress for success. With this in mind, we've compiled a short list of the most fashionable and versatile styles of men's footwear.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Men&#8217;s footwear certainly has some questionable choices in fashion. While some shoes serve functional purposes, they&#8217;re not exactly the most stylish options available to you. If you&#8217;re looking for a pair of kicks that look good and are comfortable, consider the following footwear options.</p>
<p>Leather Boots &#8211; Mark Nason has set the standard for the casual men&#8217;s leather boot and is a style that you should emulate with your look. Their sleek, leather designs can compliment a wide variety of looks by combining the style of a cowboy boot with the functionality of an urban leather loafer. Together, you have something that is comfortable, flexible, and incredibly stylish. A pair of Timberland work boots will not be able to pass in any fashionable crowd. While they&#8217;re great for the winter or work environments, their awkward thickness around the ankles will give you an equally uncomfortable appearance.</p>
<p>Oxford Dress Shoes &#8211; While every man should have at least a few different styles of leather dress shoes in their closet, the oxford-style is a staple. Their classic, sleek appearance is versatile for any occasion, making them the perfect dress pair for either work or a nice dinner out. The lace-up design creates a sense of class and sophistication without overdoing it, and most oxfords come with a non-slip sole which adds to their functionality.</p>
<p>Loafers &#8211; If you&#8217;re looking for a casual weekend or vacation shoe that is still fashionable enough to be worn with your chino pants, then look no further than the leather slip-on loafer. While not suitable for a formal dinner out or in a structured work environment, the loafers are ideal for informal business dinners or just an evening out with friends. The leather construction of these shoes make them suitable to wear with both a pair of cotton chinos or light-colored jeans.</p>
<p>Leather Sandals &#8211; A classic look for the man of leisure are leather sandals, which can compliment most any shorts or a neutral-colored pair of linen pants. While this wouldn&#8217;t be a smart look for the office (unless of course you work at a beachside bar), its the perfect casual style for a weekend away to the coast. If you&#8217;re looking for ultimate comfort for the casual environment, then look no further than leather sandals.</p>
<p>The fashion world for men certainly doesn&#8217;t stop at your ankles; shoes can make a powerful statement about you to any crowd. By having all of the above-mentioned styles in your closet, you can ensure that you&#8217;ll remain fashionable for any social or business setting that may arise.</p>

What looks popular today can easily be out of style next week, which leaves you with a closet full of clothes that risk social ostracizing if brought out into the daylight again.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fashion industry is infamous for changing its mind before a trend even becomes a trend. What looks popular today can easily be out of style next week, which leaves you with a closet full of clothes that risk social ostracizing if brought out into the daylight again. However, there are several items that have survived many fads and will continue to do so. Below is a short list of pieces that every man should own so they are not caught without a decent thing to wear.</p>
<p>Jeans &#8211; Simple and obvious, but often overlooked. While recent trends in jeans focus on sewn-in emblems and patchwork, the classic pair of blue jeans have withstood the test of time. Since their popularization in the 1950s thanks to the infamous James Dean, these pants have been shortened, widened, cropped and sagged. No matter what trend is currently popular, they cannot compare to a fit pair of classic, straight-legged dungarees. When shopping for jeans, make sure to wear the shoes that you&#8217;ll most often wear with your jeans. It wouldn&#8217;t be wise to wear boots when trying your jeans on when you&#8217;ll usually wear sneakers as you may pick a length that is too short.</p>
<p>The Polo &#8211; No matter what the current polo trend is, the classic shape and style of this shirt will be around for quite some time. Versatility is a key part to any timeless clothing item, and the polo certainly exemplifies this. This shirt can be worn with ease at either a fine dining restaurant or on a weekend trip to the coast. Of course, the color and design of your polo may limit your options, but if you stick to solid colored or pinstripe neutrals, a good-fitting polo can be worn in almost any environment.</p>
<p>Dress Shirts &#8211; While many associate this classic item with only formal environments, the versatility of a good dress shirt should not be overlooked quickly. This simple yet sophisticated style allows you to accommodate a wide variety of social settings. Sleeves can be rolled up, the front can be unbuttoned, and the tie can be tossed aside to create a formal, yet casual look appropriate in any relaxed environment. The category of dress shirts do not include the short-sleeved kind that usually come in unattractive plaid patterns. While they may have been fashionable at one time, they certainly aren&#8217;t anymore and should not be seen on you. Instead, invest in a few nice golf polos which should take care of any semi-casual setting you find yourself in.</p>
<p>All of the above pieces should certainly have a place in your closet. You never know when the need will arise for one of the classics, and they can easily be worn five years from now without looking like you&#8217;re behind on the times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can often be difficult to have a pulse on the current trends in men&#8217;s fashion. Unless your career revolves around the fashion industry, most men don&#8217;t have the time to research what looks are currently in especially when they can change so quickly. However, there are several styles and items that always remain fashionable.</p>
<p>Fatigues &#8211; The army camo look is not just for fans of the military. For many years, the camouflage pattern has incorporated itself into the most popular looks, whether it was simple accessories or full-on camo gear. Today, it would be best to keep the camo look minimal so that you don&#8217;t get confused for a member of the militia (unless, of course, you are). Simple camouflage pieces such as shoes, a bandana, or even a belt can add some much-needed color and interest to an otherwise plain look.</p>
<p>Plaid &#8211; The plaid pattern has worked its way into every corner of the fashion industry. You can see plaids in the workplace, the golf course, and even at a college frat party. With this in mind, its safe to say that plaids will remain in-style for many years, although the patterns and colors will most likely change. With this in mind, you can select several plaid pieces that not only compliment your style, but can remain a well-circulated item of your wardrobe.</p>
<p>Regular-Fit Jeans &#8211; Needless to say, jeans have been in-style for many decades so its no surprise that these made our list. However, there have been many questionable styles on men that seem to go as fast as they came, such as the skinny fit or the baggy look. An essential look that will surely remain popular is a solid pair of regular-fit jeans. When shopping for your jeans, you should keep your current season in mind in order to select a complimentary color. Light blues and brighter colors reflect the spring/summer season, while darker, muted colors (like a blue-grey) are more appropriate for the fall/winter season.</p>
<p>The One-Color Look &#8211; It can be easily confusing to color-coordinate a look, especially if you&#8217;re not familiar with the concept. The sure-fire way to create a high-impact appearance with your wardrobe without having to know much about coordination is to wear only one color. This certainly will eliminate any confusion on what colors and patterns go together. Instead of trying to match colors, you can create a monochromatic look that varies in texture for example, wearing a pair of smooth grey dress pants with a rugged grey cable-knit sweater. The contrast in material will make you look stylish and incredibly fashion-conscious.</p>
<p>When it comes to men&#8217;s fashion, you can certainly be left in the dust if you don&#8217;t have a pulse on the current trends. With the nature of ever-changing fashion fads, its quite difficult to be knowledgeable on the current styles. However, if you incorporate the timeless looks listed above into your wardrobe, you&#8217;ll never risk the chance of being labeled pass.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[While the focus of men's fashion is typically on shirts and pants, the piece that often ties together an entire look is the jacket.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the focus of men&#8217;s fashion is typically on shirts and pants, the piece that often ties together an entire look is the jacket. Leather or wool, shearling or cotton many options are available to you in order to bring out the most stylish look possible. Below are some of the most popular examples of fashionable jackets for men.</p>
<p>The Casual Blazer &#8211; The versatility of the casual blazer is unparalleled when it comes to putting together a look. Acceptable during any season, this item comes in countless colors, fabrics, and designs that add a bit of class to any casual outfit. What was once a boring t-shirt and pair of jeans is now adorned with some added style and color. When selecting a casual blazer for your look, make sure to color coordinate it appropriately to achieve the most impact with your style.</p>
<p>The Wool Trench &#8211; When the cooler weather rolls in, you&#8217;ll want to stay warm without looking like you pulled out a puffy parka from your childhood. The stylish wool trench will add a substantial amount of warmth and sophistication to your look. Whether you&#8217;re wearing jeans and a sweater or a business suit and tie, the wool trench in neutral colors can compliment any choice in your wardrobe.</p>
<p>The Leather Biker Jacket &#8211; If displaying a sense of class and sophistication is not your main concern, then a very fashionable choice in coats is the timeless leather biker jacket. Not only is it an iconic part of any mans wardrobe, it goes with just about any casual look, especially when sporting a pair of blue jeans. When shopping for a leather jacket, its best to do so in person so that you make the right choice for your own style. Many leather jackets are thin and flimsy, which will look more like a windbreaker on you than a leather jacket. With this in mind, make sure you choose a jacket that is made of thick, substantial leather to ensure many years of quality wear.</p>
<p>The Shearling Jacket &#8211; Being the perfect combination of fashion, sophistication, and warmth, the shearling jacket will definitely turn heads as you walk in. When worn with jeans and a sweater, nothing makes a more prominent winter fashion statement than this soft, suede-like jacket that hits around the mid-thigh region. However, a true shearling will come with a hefty price tag, so it may be more economical to purchase a suede or microfiber look-alike. Unlike most knockoffs, the faux shearling will still make quite an impact.</p>
<p>While fashion is often dictated by others, the ultimate decision lies upon you and how you want to compliment your own style. Whether you want the casual leather jacket or the sophisticated shearling coat, you can be certain that any of the pieces described in this article will compliment your wardrobe in the most stunning way.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Selecting a fashion accessory that is both cool and will still be in style for several years can be difficult to manage. Popular culture and current trends seem to overwhelm you with messages that try to redefine your definition of cool. Ultimately, it is always up to you on what you want to wear, and the opinion of others should not sway you to think otherwise. With that in mind, we have compiled a short list of common accessories that have been immune to changing times and popular trends:]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The accessories you wear are only a fashion statement, but it also expresses your own personal tastes and preferences. While you should always wear what you personally (not others) consider to be cool, here are some of the most common fashion accessories for men that have withstood the test of time:</p>
<p>Jewelry &#8211; Jewelry on men is both unconventional and expresses individualism, which adds to the cool factor tremendously. However, there is a fine line between cool jewelry and pieces that make you look like you have no taste in style. Below you&#8217;ll find a few popular choices in men&#8217;s jewelry that have made it through many questionable trends in fashion.</p>
<p>Rings &#8211; If you purchase a chain, a ring of the same metal color should be next on your list. If you choose a different metal color, you&#8217;ll convey the exact opposite of cool if, for example, you wear a silver chain and gold rings. Having said that, you have many options in terms of styles and the number of rings you wish to wear. With men&#8217;s rings and men&#8217;s jewelry in general it helps to choose understated pieces which tells people that you&#8217;re not trying too hard to be noticed. With this in mind, select a ring that does not have many stones or varying colors.</p>
<p>Chains &#8211; Men who wear quality chains convey an unconventional message without being obvious about it. They&#8217;re a fashion accessory that is acceptable in any social setting as long as they simply compliment your style, not outshine it. With that in mind, a chain made from fine metals such as silver, white gold, or platinum would be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.</p>
<p>The key to finding a chain that will compliment any style is to find one that you can both conceal with ease and will look good when seen. Therefore, you should choose a chain that is large enough to be noticed but not too wide so that it looks awkward under a shirt. You should also have the same mindset when choosing the length of your chain. If its too long, it will be difficult to wear without it getting in the way, while a short chain will often pop out from underneath your shirt. Ideally, your chain should be no longer than the center of your chest. An understated chain that does not overwhelm the rest of your wardrobe will accent your style nicely.</p>
<p>Whether you choose to purchase a chain, ring, or a leather jacket, take your time and choose the style that you like don&#8217;t shop for anyone else other than yourself. Choose pieces that don&#8217;t draw too much attention to yourself but still express who you are. This will not only ensure that you are buying items that can be worn in a variety of situations, but also retain the coolness factor since the epitome of being cool is appearing as though you&#8217;re not even trying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Years ago environmentalists complained that<a href="http://www.stonewashed.net">stonewashed jeans</a>, incurred a heavy environmental price for that amazing distressed look. In the production process of manipulating fabrics to attain that distressed look and feel, manufacturers were going to great lengths to keep up with the industry, even if it required compensating with an environmental impact.</p>
<p>There have been vague tales of environmental poisoning of toxic run-off from factories that used to distress and help produce <a href="http://www.stonewashed.net">stonewashed jeans</a>. This run-off was more often than not laden in blue dye and chemicals such as sulfur, caustic soda and hydrocyanic acid. Large quantities of potassium permanganate were also found, a chemical once used to induce abortion was being found in the local water supply!</p>
<p>Tree huggers try and claim that using the technique to soften jeans to give it a washed look takes 5 gallons of water and the amount of energy it takes to power a home for a day. But this old school method is no longer employed.</p>
<p>They also claim that cotton is one of the most pesticide laden crops in the United States, resulting in the contamination of local groundwater, destruction of biodiversity and endangering the lives of farmers and local communities. In the past, denim required 1 pound of pesticides to make one pound of jeans. Now over 10,000 pairs of stonewashed jeans can be produced with a single gallon of water and no pesticides whatsoever. My oh my technology has improved fashion in so many ways!</p>
<p>So clearly, stonewashing is a bit of a misnomer at this point. Hardly any water is even used in the process. Environmentalists around the world may now rejoice! They too can now wear stonewashed jeans without sacrificing any moral ground.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pacdv.com">Pacific Digital</a> rules!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes people struggle with the appropriate look or fashion trend to settle with. And its no wonder, with artists like Lady Gaga out there, the &#8220;bar&#8221; for what is fashionable seems to be constantly &#8220;adjusted&#8221; &#8211; I can&#8217;t say whether it is rising or falling, but I know it is fluctuating! At any rate, luckily for me one thing has never gone out of fashion- <a href="http://www.stonewashed.net">stonewashed jeans</a> ! I love them.</p>
<p>I have been a staunch supporter of stonewashed jeans since my days as a child in Brighton. I remember seeing the Rolling Stones for the first time in London and thinking to myself, &#8220;I&#8217;m never wearing anything but stonewashed jeans for the rest of my life.&#8221; Mick was wearing what could easily be defined as the predecessor to the &#8220;hipster uniform&#8221; so prevalent in today&#8217;s smelliest hipster neighborhoods like Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York, and Silver Lake in Los Angeles, California.</p>
<p>Mick was rocking out in skinny legged stonewashed jeans and a ripped tank top that looked like he had been purposefully spilling shit on for the three weeks prior. Hipsters rule! Wait, no they super blow. And stink like poop. But stonewashed jeans are the business, that I know for sure.</p>
<p>When I began the 9th grade in school, I was one of the few kids savvy enough to be stone washing my own jeans. Since I grew up in working class Brighton, most families didn&#8217;t have enough money to outfit their children in stonewashed glory. Luckily being the go-getter youth I was, I learned how to stone wash jeans with a simple moisturizing and sanding process.</p>
<p>This process became so popular in Brighton that <a href="http://www.stonewashed.net">stonewashed jeans</a> were initially referred to as &#8220;James-washed Jeans&#8221; in my region. Something about the alliteration always tickled their fancy I think. Because after that term died out, the more popular/longer standing term &#8220;Cameroone Crazy Crinkled&#8221; jeans became the more favored term. Those drunkards in Brighton love their alliteration!</p>
<p>So while fashion trends might dive and dodge around, I have only one strong suggestion- stick to your guns! If you feel comfortable and sexy and confident in a particular look, you should just keep refreshing that look to meet up with the trend of the times. That is why I always side with stonewashed jeans, they are totally &#8220;my thing&#8221;. There are so many different ways I can spin the look, whether business casual or rock and roll all night long, stonewashed jeans are incredibly versatile. I suggest you find your one true clothing necessity, then go from there. Once you have the anchor, everything else settles in to place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many women will agree with the fact that panty lines are not fashionable or attractive by any means. Companies have attempted to make and design underwear and under garments that might make that infamous panty line as unnoticeable as possible, but have never quite succeeded in getting rid of that line altogether. But now, designers have created what is growing in popularity, C string thongs.</p>
<p>To minimize lines, women currently have the option of wearing a G-string thong. This thong does a fair job in making the panty line less prominent, but it does not get rid of the line completely. Also, the side elastics can cause a little bit of discomfort and create rolls from digging into the sides of a woman&#8217;s love handles. The design of a C string avoids these issues entirely.</p>
<p>The C string is made out of a fabric exterior that is wrapped around a flexible interior. The flexibility of the thong allows the under garment to be malleable and hold shape to a woman&#8217;s specific body contours. Initially, one could mistake this thong for a head band. When you turn it upside down, you will see that it is meant to be worn as an undergarment. There is fabric on the front, like any other thong, but the back part is a wire that slips into the rear. Once you have shaped the thong to fit perfectly to your body, you are ready to get dressed and go out.</p>
<p>This under garment is a great way to make those panty lines vanish. There is no elastic band around your waist so you never have to worry about your panty line making a scene when you wear tight fitting bottoms. When you are wearing the c string with low cut jeans, you no longer have to keep checking to see whether your underwear strings are peeking out. And in addition to its obvious traits, the thong is also great for tanning purposes.</p>
<p>The unique make of the c string might make women hesitant about actually wearing the c string. From just the way it looks, it definitely appears as if there could be accidents that are prone to happen. The main concern for wearers is how securely the under piece actually stays on. There have not been major reports on the piece falling out or slipping off during wear, but you might want to test it out for yourself. Because there are no strings holding the apparel together or securing it to your body, there could be some slippage while you are walking.</p>
<p>This innovative piece of lingerie is made for any woman to wear. It does not matter what size you are, how tall or skinny you are. Again, this piece is very conforming and has a flexible interior that is meant to be sized to everyone&#8217;s perfect fit.</p>
<p>You can purchase this type of under garment from many different online resources. This is a growing trend and many companies cater to that growth. If you check out the Internet, you will see the many resources available to you that sell this under garment. The C string is fashionable in that it comes in different fabrics, colors and prints.</p>
