Men's  Fashion ...
Six of the best tips!

As men have become more aware of their personal appearance,  we often get asked for tips on how guys can look their best.   Here we go with a few simple tips to freshen up your style for 2011 and help give your confidence a bit of a boost.

1)  COLOUR ME HEALTHY

Add a splash of colour to your wardrobe.   If you wear a bright t-shirt under a sweater, it's an easy cheap  way to brighten up your look.  Adding colour near your face will have the most impact and will liven up neutral colours.   Don't forget, if you wear a white shirt and you have a pale complexion, you will look washed out.   Summer  is the best time to wear white to show off that golden  tan you've got .

2) SKIN TONE

If you don't want to look like you've wintered under a stone or become a creature of the night,
you can always sport a tan natural or otherwise.     If you don't have enough cash to splash on a week in the Bahamas there are other options.   We don't want to recommend sun beds for obvious reasons but a professional spray tan will last a while and give you a healthy golden glow to your skin.  If you are on an economy drive, buy a tube off the shelf and get your partner to help you apply it.  PS Don't forget to keep your hair looking clean and trimmed though, you don't want to  end up looking like Wagner!

3)  A FEW GOOD CLOTHES

A good choice of one or two jackets can make you look stylish and well put together.   For example, a cool cotton or linen jacket, t-shirt, awesome pair of jeans  and tidy trainers is a stylish look.  Having a few different brightly coloured t-shirts will help change your look without hurting your pocket too much.  

4)  JEWELLERY AND WATCHES

Some men just don't like the notion of wearing jewellery.   However, in recent years there are some very heavy duty gold, silver and platinum pieces that look great on both males and females.  If you're not into the jewellery scene just yet, there are some great watches out there and at reasonable prices too.  A stylish watch can really add to the style of your outfit. .

5)  TASTY SHADES

Sun glasses can be worn all year round so make sure you have some smart ones to hand.  As the sun sits lower in the sky during Winter and Spring,  protecting your eyes is always first priority, but it's also an ultimate fashion accessory.  

6. BELTS AND BUCKLES

It's not so long ago that belts came in two colours and three widths.  These days there are some awesome buckles that will really show off those stylishly handsome jeans.  We're not talking heavy weight boxing champion of the world size but ornate/authentic buckles will look great.
