The human form is interesting in its many varied shapes and sizes and thus dressing your individual form should be seen as a pleasure and not a task. It is clear that not many men know much about using clothing to make a fashion statement and this is why some guys end up finding something comfortable to slip in.

Ignorance is no long an excuse that can be used as getting accesses to ways that you can dress for your height is only a matter of typing some keywords into a search engine and then click, you’re off. The sad truth is that most men feel very conscious when their height or body shape does not conform to the norm.  Some men then try to simply ‘slack it off’ and then wonder why they don’t feel attractive. Just like women, men too need to be able to appreciate that their height can be worked to an advantage if they dress it well.

Disguise   – create an illusion

Taking care of your body is the first step to being able to dress it. While the romantic notion that you might be able to find love regardless of what you look like might be true to some degree, there is still the matter of confidence.

If you feel that you are overweight then doing something about it will make you look and feel comfortable in the clothing that you wear. Shirt size is an important and integral part of dressing for your height. This also entails the type of colours that you want to use in order to create the right illusion.

Tailored shirts will make your body look leaner, just as long as they are not too tight. Black is often the chosen, slimming color when it comes to clothing, but gray colors work well too. Thin strips going horizontal and not vertical can give the illusion of length. Jeans or trousers with pockets can give the illusion of some backside.

Try them on

The best way to know if something will work for you is to try them on. Fashion is all about accessibility and it is for this reason that you should go out and try them. Society is ruled by how we look and there is nothing that is going to change that. All you can do is to learn how to make your body as attractive as you want it to be.

Men's Style

Fashion is about using two senses to create just the right type of effect. With the eyes you can decide if someone is wearing clothing with just the right balance from the color wheel. This can either make them appear balanced or simply appealing. The nose is there to balance out the whole look. Smell is as much a part of selecting the right clothing as it is a tool that helps you reminisce. The trick is finding out which scent works well with your natural body odor.

Testing! Testing! Testing!

The problem with perfumes, body sprays or even after shaves is that while they may seem to be made for the masses; your individual adaption will indicate whether or not the one you like actually works for you. Most often people do not realize that you don’t actually choose the smell, but the smell chooses you.

What you eat comes out of your pores as sweat, and these chemicals will either work in harmony to increase your attraction, or you will smell like a man walking through a cloud of nice smelling fumes. The latter is not appealing in that is does not make you memorable in any way. Testing your smell should be part of everything.

A woman’s nose knows, so use the close female friends you have. If you are serious about giving women what they want and creating the right effect then this could be your ticket. Simply select the types of perfume or aftershave or even body spray you fancy, spray it on some T-shirts and let them sniff. They will let you know which one is a ‘you’ smell.

Dating is like a busy restaurant

The reason why all the paraphernalia is needed is because life can be so hectic. There are many things that you might not be able to take in instantly and that is why you need to give yourself a competitive edge.

So what are the things that you want to leave as your first impression? Will your smile cause others to flinch or do you smell like a miner who could use a shower but opted for too much body spray instead?

Thinking about these things and ensuring that you correct them before they become tools of de-attraction means you will be the focus. You want to create an effect but not one that is like a bad tune that sticks to your head because it was bad. Moderation in all things is key.

Male Perfume

Many men often wonder if women find shyness as a deterrent factor. This insecurity is mainly brought on because of movies and the fact that in life beautiful women are seen with sexy men at their sides. The thing to remember is that the attraction can vary and women are not always interested in men that have only physical attributes.

If you are shy, then it is worth remembering that you too have something to work in your favor. Your shyness can be appealing because it takes you time to warm up to people but shyness is also associated with an innocence which is rear in this day and age of fast paced living.

Shy but confident

The problem with word ‘shy’ is that it is associated with being under-confident. While this is basically a social stereotype it still can be hard to disprove. That is because women have come to expect men to be able to be extroverts at all times. So the trick is being able to prove that you are shy by nature but also confident.

Naturally the best way to do this is through using your body language to the best of your advantage. Body language is an unspoken way of communicating and thus it is the most effective way of speaking. If words often escape you at a crucial moment then your body language will be a great asset, especially if you can use it to get what you want.

However, to have the greatest impact you must ensure that your clothing is compatible. A fashion statement is a great start. Clothing that makes you feel confidence and not cocky will prove to be their own weight in attraction.

Learn the art of a flirtatious smile so that you can attract the eye of any women. This type of smile is called the secret smile and it works well with appreciating the art of eye contact. When you smile in this manner you should think about something really naughty like a secret you do not want anyone to know. Then establish eye contact with your intended target.

The smile should almost appear like a half smile. This acts as a trigger point. The rest of your body needs to appear relaxed so that you look open. Hands in the pocket are better than hands crossed across your chest. The latter makes you appear defensive, so avoid it all costs, even though you feel vulnerable.

Smiling Man

The nature of attraction can often feel confusing. The readily and available pieces of information assembled in blogs or articles is partly to blame for this. The nature of the online world has also changed the way such rules are operated. This means that people who would not necessarily be seen as the catch of the day can find themselves as the catch of the day. With all this in mind, it can be hard to see how one can improve their attractive potential. Modern technology is already ahead and waiting for you to catch up.

Dress code – confidence

When you watch movies of all the men that are seen as sex bombs, such as, say perhaps the likes of James Bond, you are immediately drawn to the way they act, the verbal and no-verbal body language. However if you sit down and think about it, what is it that is making them seem so attractive? How do they find their confident feet when the situation seems impossible? Now it is time you used the forward but often background techniques.

You have to learn to dress your body so that is acts as one attractive magnet. This by no means, means that you should start acquiring a vast array of suites and jackets so that you can play the part. It is all about find your individual style that makes you feel attractive. Dressing up also means that you use colors that make you feel attractive such as slightly darker versions of trend colors.

Now work that smile

Once you have the body kitted out, it is time work that face. Sometimes you might find that having glasses is really your thing, so stick to your comfort zone, but a white smile is not at all that costly and anyone can have one.

These days, habits that have been deemed unhealthy such as drinking coffee and smoking can leave your teeth looking discolored. Unfortunately this is no longer attractive because even cowboys can now afford to have beautiful white teeth.

If you are not sure of using a slightly expensive teeth whitening procedure, then at least you could use some of the many different types of toothpaste that there is. You can then simply work off some of the stains. Learning to move with the times makes it easier for you to stay current in your attraction. This can be hard thing to do because we all have comfort zones.

Luke Simon Denim Shirt

Attraction is very deceptive in its nature and that is why healthy living is part of playing the mating game. Often men find that they are at a loss when it comes to knowing what it is that really makes women tick. The truth is, the whole ‘what women want’ thing is not such an enigma.

Women are not as complicated as it might seem. They too just want a good looking partner that they can show off. This then brings forth the need for men to do their part too. As most men would appreciate a women who is well toned, especially if they are too, so do women of the same calibre think the same.

The fact is this is indeed what society encourages and a great wash board abs body has a way of creating just the right silhouette with clothing. This importance has also meant that men have to start taking the bulging muscles a bit seriously especially if they want to attract. Everything in moderation is the slogan of the day.

Looking good is not always vain

Jealousy is a nasty green eyed monster that can turn even a mundane subject into a political debate. Unfortunately this habit has always turned men into often jealous and envious beings. The truth is looking good should not be seen as something that takes a great deal of effort. Men with lovely bodies have been branded as vain.

While there might be some essence of truth in this analogy, it does mean that most men will use that as an excuse. The dating game is very vicious. While mean and women might now feel very liberal when it comes to their bedroom views, they still have an option which is the greatest thing about democracy. Do not feel that you should attach yourself to social stigmas which have been created by movies, so as to make you feel bad for making an effort to look good.

Working out is not only great for creating that all important six pack but it is a great and natural way of getting all the much needed energy. Starting is the only way that you can personally appreciate these benefits. Feeling good seems to work well as a motivational method. One to be used when you feel that you might not be able to achieve your task!

Six Pack

Spring is almost here, and with the warmer weather comes a new look. Now is the time to gear up for the new season by updating your wardrobe to keep up with all of the latest trends.

The following are some of the key trends to watch out for in mens clothes for 2011.

Motorcycle Chic

The motorcycle look will be very in during 2011 and a stylish leather jacket is a great investment for the year to come. Pair this with some classic denim for a look that is bang on trend.

Suits You

A high quality suit is an essential part of any man’s wardrobe. This season, slim-cut trousers, jackets and shirts are in. Look for suits that accentuate your shoulders and make you appear tall and masculine.

Flared Jeans

They say if you hang on to anything long enough it will come back into fashion. If you held on to those bell bottoms you’re in luck, because flared jeans are well and truly back with a bang.

Meggings

A new trend gracing the catwalks of Paris and Milan, Meggings (men’s leggings) are set to be huge this summer, particularly for those not afraid to embrace their feminine side.

Crop Tops

Another one of the metrosexual, men’s crop tops are a surprise inclusion in many Spring Summer collections.

Colours

In terms of colours, it’s all about bright shades and pastels. Although it may not seem very masculine, floral prints are also very in right now.

Male Fashion

For those of you getting ready to be the next trend setter in 2011, there are a few things to make yourself aware of. The best way to describe fashion trends for men in the spring of 2011 is to tell you to take the 80’s and add a few futuristic touches.

This spring you will find several blasts from the past making a monumental return. The number one popular trend setter will be the return of the double breasted jacket. It will be hard to find blazers, jackets, or trench coats that will not dawn this fashion style. Unlike the 80’s, you will notice a few distinct differences. One, the collar may be made out of a different fabric and or colored material which gives this old trend a truly new and updated look. Two, these jackets will not just be your traditional colors of gray, brown, and black, they will emerge in fabrics with bright floral prints.

Floral prints are the next hot item to discuss. T-shirts, dress shirts, jackets, everywhere you look this season you will see a extremely popular theme of floral. This is not a trend where men will be losing their masculinity, it is just the opposite. This spring men will be embracing their floral side and showing that color and print do not dictate their manhood.

Next we have a twist to many mens favorite pieces of clothing, jeans. This year men will be tossing their favorite blue and black jeans aside and trading them in for grey. Grey is the new blue.

Suspenders are back in a big way. Whether you are dressed in a suit for work or just showing off those new grey jeans, you will need to add suspenders to your ensemble in order to look complete. Although this is not just for appearance, it is also for function.

Mens pants are making another transition. We have gone from loose and baggy pants, to a more straight legged style to an extremely skinny style. Now we are moving forward with a combined fashion. Pants will be loose and baggy at the top and then tapper down to a skinny leg at the bottom, thus the need for suspenders to hold them up and in place.

So remember, in 2011 take what you remember from the 80’s, add a futuristic twist and you will be a trend setter.

So many guys spend their lives envying their skinny brothers that eat what they want and never gain an ounce and modern society favors the lean and equates it with style and good looks. What most people never think of is that those very lanky and often too thin men face as many problems looking stylish and good in clothes as their obese brothers do. Clothes are designed in general for men that are average in build.  This leaves the super-slim men battling to find clothes that fit them properly and make them look good instead of rather drab. Thus it is just as important for the very thin guys to get some basic male fashion tips as to what clothes will make them appear fuller figured.

Go tailored and avoid too tight and clingy

Male fashion tips for the too lanky are to steer clear of clingy fabrics when choosing T-shirts and dress shirts that are slim-fitting will accentuate your thinness. Opt for shirts and tops that fall away from your waistline slightly, but beware of going too large or you will look like you are drowning in your shirt. Always check the labels on any shirts and tops you buy as too much elastic in the fabric will make it cling to your body.

When it comes to blazers and jackets, the way to go is small shoulder pads; this will bring balance to your chest and back. Never overdo the shoulder pads, you want a visual boost not make it look as if you wearing someone else’s blazer. A good male fashion tip is to get your blazers tailored so that they fit correctly everywhere with no loose fabric that makes you look lost in the blazer. Another tip is to wear jackets that fall to just under your buttocks as shorter will emphasize your too thin frame and a too long jacket makes you look like a beanpole wrapped in a blanket.

Fabrics to play down your skinny parts

The best male fashion tip is to choose bulky fabrics and ignore trends that say otherwise. Go all out for chunky knits and thick corduroys when they make the fashion rounds. For dressing up go in for the heavier wools and look for dress shirts with the highest thread count, you need the bulkier and thicker fabrics. On the topic of bulky knits and thick tops; avoid V-neck sweaters, they make your neck look scrawny; instead go after crewnecks and turtlenecks, they are perfect for you. Lastly, stay away from open-collared shirts, rather button dress shirts up and always look for shirts with spread collars, these give your chest a wider appearance.

Man in White Suit

Sweaters are a fashion staple for any man, and even for women. They are warm, soft, comfortable and trendy. Not to mention, they fill the grey areas between smart and casual too. Sweaters come in all shapes, sizes, styles and more, so it is not uncommon for mean to start sweating at the prospect of picking the right sweater out. Don’t sweat it, here is a men’s style manual to sweaters and staying in fashion.

Luxury sweaters

When you think of sweaters, it may be hard to think that there is such a thing as luxury sweaters but there really are. Cashmere is the king of sweaters for its absolutely luxurious feel, softness and style. You can pull a cashmere sweater off any time of the year in basically any color. Another men’s style manual tip: Remember that cashmere is king and the ladies worship it.

Even more sweater tips

Sweaters come in different styles but none more fashionable and versatile than the V-neck and crew-neck. You can wear these sweaters as a casual, smart casual or even a smart look in winter or summer. Sweaters are essentially season-less. The turtleneck sweater is also a rather versatile, sophisticated and comfortable sweater buy. And what about cardigans? Well, you may never give cardigans a second thought, but that is just plain prejudice. Get over the idea of an old man’s cardigan that buttons up and simply looks ‘uncool’. Start thinking new, trendy and great fashion for men.

Yes, cardigans are a great fashion buy for the modern man and you can ditch the buttons too. For a younger, fresher and more appealing look, opt for a zippered cardigan. Sweaters need not make you look like a mommy’s boy, a nerd or out of fashion. The trick is to purchase sweaters that compliment your shape, skin tone, color and your personal style. Choose from thin, cool cottons for summer and spring wear and thick woolen knits for winter warmth. Sweaters should be on any men’s style manual list of wardrobe must haves.

Caring for your clothing investment

Sweaters are probably not the cheapest clothing item on the market and as such, it is important to know exactly how to care for them properly. Care for a sweater properly and it will last much longer before it becomes comfort clothing, only to be worn at home. The men’s style manual to sweaters advocates hand washing and dry cleaning your sweaters. All your sweaters should be dry cleaned about once each season that you wear them. However, accidents do happen and so does general dirt so hand washing is a fantastic alternative. Hand washing also often leaves your wool and cashmere sweaters feeling softer than when you have had them dry cleaned.
