Color Coordination Advice for the Fashionable Male

One of the most common problems men face when dealing with wardrobe issues is their lack of knowing which colors work together. I’m not sure why. It isn’t like all men are born colorblind or anything but take a walk around a men’s clothing store and you’ll undoubtedly hear a few guys asking their wives or girlfriends questions such as does this tie match or what color shirt goes with these pants? It’s these kinds of confusing questions which make the lives of every man so difficult.

I’ll admit that coordinating colors can be tricky sometimes business but unfortunately it is something that all men must learn to do on their own. It’s another reason why it is so important for men to understand the general rules of thumb to prevent you from being that guy everyone is looking at for the wrong reasons. Here is your chance to prove to the world around you that you cab dress nice with some pretty savvy color-coordination skills necessary. Here are just a few pieces of advice:

1) White goes with everything – When all your other fashion choices fail to make a statement, go with white. A nice, clean white shirt can be worn with nearly anything you own, especially those oddly colored items you’re not sure what to match with. Wear a white shirt with a bright, patterned tie for new look or wearing it under a pastel-colored V-neck sweater is another hot new trend. Throughout centuries a well-fitting white shirt is timeless, worth its weight in gold, and sure to keep you on the front line of fashion.

2) Gray complements bright colors – Are you looking for a few new ways to experiment with color? Try some gray. It works wonders for dulling down vivid colors, actually almost any color out there.

Fashion Climate of 2010 with New Trends (II)

Brand America

The heritage chic trend that gave us 2009 phenomena such as Florsheim by Duckie Brown’s star-spangled Patriot Boot, and Pendleton’s collaborations with Hurley and Opening Ceremony, is ripe to broaden into a global appetite for “brand America.”

In addition to more advertisements that emphasize the hardworking, can-do spirit, industrial fortitude, and pick-ourselves-up-by-our-own-bootstraps message (see Levi’s “Go Forth” campaign), look for European designers to partner with some of the most revered of American brands.

At the Paris spring/summer 2010 men’s runway shows, the trademark Red Tab of Levi Strauss & Co. could be spotted in the collections of Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe Man and Jean Paul Gaultier, who added his signature maritime stripes and bondage straps motifs to the traditional 501 silhouette, as well as a classic-looking trucker’s jacket with the front panels cut out so that it resembled a bondage harness.

And for the first time, Emporio Armani, the lower-priced line from Giorgio Armani’s Milan-based fashion empire, is making jeans in the United States. The company recently announced that four new styles (two for men and two for women) for spring/summer 2010 are being made in downtown Los Angeles. Touted as “the refinement of the Armani brand with an original interpretation of the authentic vintage American look,” they bear a distinct stars-and-stripes vibe that’s reflected in special hangtags, brushed white enamel rivets and red, white and blue leather labels.

Denim’s not the only department either; Italian label Missoni has partnered with another venerable American brand – the 101-year-old Converse company – to make 0 versions of the

Indian Culture Fashion Guide

The level of artistry and intricacy achieved by Indian handloom fabrics is supreme and beyond the reach of modern machinery, preserving its heritage and culture. Undoubtedly cotton was the first fabric which has been used splendidly by Indian artisans. Silk and woollen follow. In the world of handlooms there are muslins of Chanderi, silk brocades of Varanasi, the ikats from Andhra and Orissa, the tie and dye from Rajasthan and Gujrat, the phulkari and khes of Punjab, jacquards from Uttar Pradesh, the phenek, tongam and bottle designs from Assam and Manipur, so on and so forth.

And in today’s date Indian handlooms are going global in a big way and have found support from the designer community too. Ritu Kumar who has created a distinct style of designing, always gives ample focus on the ancient traditions of Indian craftsmanship in contemporary terms. Her boutiques usually presents you with a comprehensive platform surrounding the top quality of Indian design that includes specially produced range of high fashion garments and accessories using silk, leather and cotton. She believes that Handlooms not only represent an industry but the cultural heritage of India and it’s our responsibility to promote handloom as much as possible.

Other fashion biggies like Raghavendra Rathore, Narendra Kumar Ahmed and Anamika Khanna translated various elements picked up from the Rajasthan (known for Hand block prints, tie and dye, Bandhej) onto their designs and colour palettes. Not only designers, politicians too are doing their best to promote Indian textiles. For those who know Jaya Jaitly only as a politician- she is the founder President of a Crafts association Dastkari Haat Samiti and was instrumental in setting up the widely popular Dilli

Preferred Top Fashion Brands

One of the most preferred and top fashion brands in the country, Kazo has forayed into men’s fashion with the introduction of their new line ‘Kazo Man’ over the fashion show in the capital recently. “There was constant demand from our customers regarding menswear. A lot of research and survey was required to understand the market and then we came up with this line. The idea behind this collection is to make men look younger and trendier and is for someone who wants to make his own style statement” shared Mr. Deepak Aggarwal, Kazo’s Creative director.  

The collection was a mix of everything from shirts, t-shirts, denims, pants, shorts to accessories like caps, scarves, etc; giving the effect of both muted elegance and extravagant grandeur. The re-assuring multi colour range which revolves around super dark tones like navy blue, asphalts, charcoal, grey, enforces a feeling of stability, quality and durability to the collection. Not only this, rust, mauve, yellow and green work alongside while black fulfills the role of adding graphic effect.

Jerseys like pique; viscose and slubs are refined by prints, studs and are fused with rough shapes and washes in order to retain key characteristics of the collection. Various techniques of mixing yarn dyed fabrics with prints and embroidery in an obsolete way leaves room for both grunge and modern fashion.

Present on the launch to unveil this trendy and fashionable line were the winners of MTV’s reality show ‘Roadies’ and ‘Splitsvilla’- Nauman Sait, Siddharth and Sakshi who were giving their best poses in Kazo’s latest collection. “The main asset of this brand is that it is highly affordable, giving everyone a chance to feel great in their body and skin.

Point 76 Degree Beauty Fashion

The whole world says it, but few have the courage to do it. We are facing a big problem in the form of climatic change. Young artist Puneet Gupta tries to address these issues at the recent exhibition in the capital. Puneet has made a climatic chair that depicts the reality of the shrinking world – with our resources getting extinct, changing our verdant world into a punctured dead planet and leading us to the ultimate doom. So how this idea came into mind “When everyone was designing the display of luxury, this idea struck in my mind. On one side, it shows the need for luxury and on the other side, it reflects on how we are getting these luxury products at the cost of life.” “There is a place called Lohachara which is a part of Sundarban delta near the state of West Bengal once a home to 10,000 Indians. Now this place has been washed from the face of the earth with the increase in sea level. But we are not at all concern. In short you can say that we are in a giant car heading toward a brick wall and everyone’s arguing over where they are going to sit,” he added.

Well tried Puneet, but are your effort really going to make any change whatsoever? “I have named this chair point 76 degree because the Earth’s average surface temperature has risen by 0.76° C since 1850. This might sound very miniscule but it has created quite a herald already it can be worst if we do not stop at point 76 degree and do not let it go beyond this. I have made my point rest is on the individuals, how they take it” Inclined towards fine arts at school level, this trained Fashion Communication Designer walked into NIFT for pursuing Fashion Communication equipped with a two year Art Foundation Course at school. So what inspired him to take up this profession, “I
