Can you give some advice about men's dress and fashion?
take the time to make sure your clothes fit and are properly altered. Proper fit can make affordable clothes look great and a poor fit can make expensive clothes look like shite.Every man should have one suit even if it is for weddings or funerals. Navy of mid to dark grey are best.Every man should have at least one blazer or sport coat. Navy. Incredibly flexible in lieu of wearing a suit.Proper sleeve length on shirts. Nothing worse than a shirt hanging down to your finger tips or way above your wrist looking like you shrunk it in the wash.Pay attention to how your pants and trousers fit. Many men wear their pants too long and they do not pay attention to the leg opening. Shorter men need to consider tapering the legs, usually from the knee to the leg opening. Nothing worse than too long and too large leg openings because the pants can in a 36 inch inseam and you have a 29.5 inseam. It is not just about cutting off a shitload of fabric and hemming them.No grey sport coats. This is incredibly hard to pull off and has limited flexibility when putting outfits together. Avoid.No black suits. Choose charcoal if you want that almost black look but it will be deeper, richer and less stark.Embrace pink shirts. It is one colour men avoid and they shouldn’t.Make sure your suit jacket or sport coat covers your ass. You ain’t Thom Browne, the shrunken look is not for you.Avoid impulse buying. Put thought into what you buy so you won’t regret it. Just because you see something from Tom Ford on deep discount don’t buy it because of the name. It probably is on deep discount because everybody else thought it was fugly and avoided it. Designers make ugly things too.Don’t cheap out on your shoes, your feet will thank you. Better shoes will last longer, look better and you can have them resoled and recrafted instead of pitching them in the bin when they wear out.Fit, fit, fit, fit, fit
What is the current fashion in Iran? How do Persian men and women dress?
This is a great opportunity for me to shed light on some misconceptions and misapprehensions about my country.Since the 1979 revolution headscarf is compulsory for Iranian women in public. If you have been picturing Iran as a huge desert in middle of nowhere filled with Persian women in black burqas, you need to take a closer look at modern-day Iran.This is how Persian women dress today in public:And this how Persian women dress in private:1. Color : It's a completely false belief that wearing must be dark in Iran. There is no limitation in this respect and we recommend you make sure using light colors in summer.2. Head : Hair should be covered. It does not mean you shall have a tight scarf around your head. Don't worry, It is very usual that some parts remain out of the cover. It's quite acceptable for women to allow whips of their hair to frame their face. Appropriate hats & caps can do this function as well as scarves. Scarf is the most common covering for head and is called "Roosari" in Persian.3. Body : Should be covered with loose clothes like man shirt, coat or manteau. Arms should not be bare.4. Legs & feet : Legs should be covered down to ankles. Feets can be bare and you can wear sandals. Tight jeans are no problem.Tip1 : In summer and hot weather, you can cheat(!) and not wear shirt under your coat/manteau. Who understands?!Tip2 : In winter time, apart from covering the head, the rest is the same as what you wear in your home country.Tip3 : You better enter Iran with a coat and a scarf and select your style by watching the Iranian women in the streets.Tip 4 : Once a chador is needed, like in holy places, it will be given upon entrance.Tip 5 : Following the dress-code is necessary form the time of on-boarding international flights. On Iranian Flights, it is usually requested when the plane enters the Iranian boundaries.I hope that helps!
I am a 25-year-old guy with a wheatish complexion. What colors of shirts and pants will suit me the best?
'Wheatish' is rather a broad spectrum, for an accurate answer. Your skin color might be peach, medium golden-beige, golden-beige, honey-beige, rose-beige, beige, pale beige, golden wheat or tan. The color could have a warm or cool hue.The color of your eyes and hair, and the relative contrast with the skin color should also be taken into account, to determine the colors that will suit you.In general, being in the median range, a dark color will make you look fairer, if that is the aim. Avoid colors that blend into your skin tone, as a certain degree of contrast is needed for the garment to have its own identity.If you have a warm reddish or pink skin tone, wear colors in the blue family to neutralize it. Avoid bright and intense colors, as they will highlight the flaws in the skin. If you have a cool greyish skin tone, the brighter colors will offset the same.The broad recommendations without seeing you in person can be as follows :Warm colors matching your complexion Crème, Golden Beige, Sunflower, Canary gold, Cork, Camel, Cheddar,Mango, French mustard, caramel, amber, topaz, honey brow, cognac, maple, burnt sienna Cool colors matching your complexionAlmond, Sand, champagne, cool tan, buckwheat, bronze, tan, ash brown,butter scotch.You may visit my blog ReInventions by Reena , for articles on Color. Write-ups on dressing and grooming for men will be shared shortly.
What clothes do men like on women?
It certainly depends on the woman and what she can pull off (e.g. a skin tight dress could look great on a thin woman and hideous on someone who's overweight), and some things are obvious (don't wear sweatpants on a date). Instead I'll mention some things I particularly like and don't like:Likeglasses (just a personal preference, maybe something to do with the sexy librarian look, who knows)lip gloss - as much as I hate lipstick (see below), shiny, glossy lips are very sexyjeans that fit well (read: tightly), generally darker colors are better. 7 jeans are great for showing off your rear enda cool, creative, "different" bag. Something colorful is great. A girl I dated once carried one of those old airline bags and it was awesome. (Read below about expensive purses)flats or short-heeled shoes. Heels can be ok if you can walk in them well (i.e. quickly). tasteful cleavage - there's a fine line between hot in the "wow, she's amazing" way, and hot in the "she's hot in a slutty skanky way". Better to err on the side of not enough than too much.white tank tops (wife beaters). Possibly the sexiest thing a woman can wear.Dislike:noticeable makeup in general. Yes, I know most women wear makeup, but the trick is to look like you're not wearing anylipstick (any strong, noticeable color) - ESPECIALLY RED/PINK. The thought of kissing you with this on disgusts me- expensive purses (if you are going to want me to spend tons of money on a purse for you rather than a vacation for us, I'm going to be very unhappy. If you've got one, I can deal with that...but multiple purses that cost several thousand dollars each is way too much!)ESPECIALLY: that brown and beige Louis Vuitton purse. You're going to spend a stupid amount of money AND spend it on something that shows you have no sense of creativity, individuality, personal style? Yuck. baggy jeanswhite athletic sneakers, like the ones the women wear on the way to work with their suitsbras with shapes that are visible (I want to see your body, not padding), or that cause your breasts to spill out over the top (gross)almost forgot - those ridiculous pants that hang low in the crotch, that kind of look like you're wearing a t-shirt as pants. It's as if someone said "let's make the most absurd, ugly, unflattering thing, and try to convince women that it's the new style and they should wear it."
