The Sixteen male fashion faux pas that each man has to recognize

By: socialpicard

Why should you be wary of the way you look?

There are an abundance of reasons! Looking the part plays a starring part in many aspects of your life story. Think about your work, your love life and your day to day activities.

It's all about perception, I've seen many workers get promoted just due to the fact that they have constantly looked certified. Maybe being perceived as certified didn't get them the job but I'm sure it got them the chance for a better opportunity! Most women also love a man who knows how to dress, it makes them believe their man is assured and settled. People's interpretation is key in day to day activities and the way you dress up has a large effect on it.

It's a true fact that it takes only 30 seconds for someone to decide themselves on what they judge you. Envision if you look like a clown? I'm certain you get the notion.

So why not simply go ahead and take charge, move in the right direction simply by looking great. It might open a few doors manyweren't expecting.

Here is a list of tips to help you and fashion mistakes to avoid!

- Too much jewelry. Put the jewelry away P. Diddy or should we call you Puff Daddy? If you want to wear jewelry, opt for a classy pair of designer cufflinks.

- The Button-Down collar dress shirt is simply not acceptable for dressy formal wear nor with a double-breasted suit. That's because even though it's now a daytime business classic, it was originally a sport shirt worn by polo players.

- Socks should match your pants. Easy as 1, 2, 3.

- Chunky Shoes. Lose them, the Axel Rose era is over.

- Never wear both a belt and suspenders. The combination makes you appear less confident - you big wuss.

- Belts should match your shoes.
- Ties should reach your belt line. This is simply the rule. A short tie makes you look like a dufus.

- Clashing or too many colors. Do you really want to look like a gay pride flag? Stick to complementary colors (those opposite from each other on the color wheel) or colors from the same pallet.

- Comb-overs. These shout insecurity. Shave it, lose it or cover it.
- Ponytails. You're not the rock star of your office. Spend the 20$ for a haircut, you can afford it.
- Properly knotted ties have a "dimple" under the knot. Clips and tacks are out of date.

- Never wear a short sleeve shirt with a tie. Actually, never wear a short sleeve shirt period. Short sleeve shirts are perceived to be worn only by lower class people. You can wear one if you aspire to be a McDonald's manager, not if you want to project a professional image.

- Wear the right size pants ok? Pants should be long enough to cover your socks, and socks should cover your shins even when you cross you legs. Pants are long enough if they have a slight break in the front. Pleats and cuffs are traditional and functional. Pleats let you sit down comfortably and cuffs add weight to the bottoms allowing for proper drape.

- Your shoes should be clean, shined, repaired and appropriate for the occasion. If you are wearing a suit, wear lace-up shoes. Don't forget to keep shoetrees in your shoes when you're not wearing them.

- Socks with Sandals. Even if you live in Maine, don't do it - you'll look like a schmuck.

- Backpacks. OK, maybe this is just a minor mistake, but you're trying to climb the corporate ladder, not hike up a mountain.

Choosing Plus Size Swim Suits

By: Andrea Dilea

In the past, plus-sized women did not have many options for swimwear. Today, there are more and more companies producing a side variety of plus-sized styles. This will help when it comes time to choosing your suit for the summer. This ever-growing market segment will find numerous choices. No longer will you need to cover up when the heat is on. There are options that will make you look and feel beautiful.

Full figured women need to take a few things into consideration when they go shopping for a bathing suit. First of all, the type and amount of support that is built into any given suit is of utmost importance. A built-in bra is preferable to a shelf bra for a plus sized woman and will provide her with more comfort and peace of mind. Look for a bathing suit that is sized to standard measurements for bras. Some manufacturers make plus size swimwear that both supports the body and helps to slenderize it. If you are used to wearing an underwire bra then you might want to find a bathing suit that is made with the same.

Think about what you like and then look at your body to help determine what type of suit looks best on you. Generally a one-piece is the most flattering, especially for a fuller-figured woman. A beautiful print accentuates the positive and at the same time conceals the negative. Everyone has something that needs concealed; luckily there are many styles out there to help do that.

Blouson and tankini suits are very flattering to a woman with a fuller figure. They offer both style and coverage. The tankini is a more recent addition to the market. It is essentially a one-piece that is cut in half at the waist. The upper and lower pieces are not necessarily shortened, meaning a woman can still be fully covered, or is she wants, can have a little peek of skin showing. This two-piece feature also makes the suit more comfortable than a one-piece since it will move with you. There are numerous colors and style variations available. Since there are two pieces, a woman can choose a bikini style bottom with a more modest top. Maybe her top is a little more revealing and she has full coverage on the bottom. The options for difference combinations are endless.

If you want to flaunt your shapely legs but would rather not display the upper part of your body, a blouson cut is an excellent alternative. It evens out the appearance of the upper and lower portions of a larger size woman's anatomy. The straps of the blouson and its little cap sleeves are also flattering on a full-bodied female.

The cut of the leg of your swimsuit is very critical. A higher cut will elongate your leg. If you are short, however, a too-high cut will only emphasize this. If you legs are not slim, a too-low cut on the leg will make your legs appear heavier. Skirts look great on taller people, but can make a short person look even shorter. Determine your trouble spot, and choose the right cut for you. This will maximize your assets.
