Man Fashion: New Era Caps for Fashionista Like You

0 comments
When it comes to summer, the new era caps are the most popular choice of hip hop and sports fanatics. So what are new era caps basically?



The new era caps are the largest sports-licensed headwear company in the United States. The company is the premier cap provider for MLB, as well as a number of NBA and NHL franchises, plus a handful of major collegiate athletic programs.



Before we go further to commit our money into this fanatic caps, let look at what are the primary buying tips.



One of the first things that you should check is the quality of workmanship of your New Era cap. Examine the top of the hat and look at the top button. The button should be centered with the seams. If it is not, there is a good possibility that the cap is a fake.



In addition, check the quality of the stitching on the cap. On all authentic New Era Caps, the stitching will be smooth, dense, and tight. A good way to examine the quality of the stitching is to check out the stitching of the New Era logo. If it is uneven, crooked and/or seems to contain gaps between stitches, the hat is most likely a fake. Since the logo is one of the top branding factors, you can bet that New Era gets this right every time.



Next, check out the profile of your New Era 59Fifty fitted cap. The crown should be high and rounded. Inferior quality, imitation caps almost always tend to have a much lower profile and can actually look a bit flat across the crown.



You should also examine the New Era tag that is stitched on the inside of the cap. The edges should be stitched evenly, and the tag should lie smooth with no bunching at the edges. Crooked stitching that goes beyond boundaries most likely indicates a fake. You should also check for the New Era hologram on the underside of the brim of the hat. If your cap is missing this, it is probably an imitation.



In short, please put some common sense, time to examine these new era caps before you shelll out your hard earned money.

Teen fashion trends

0 comments

Teen fashion is pretty serious business. The trends are changeable, unstructured, anything but not constant. Teen age too is a precious time of life and the best time to look good. Studies expose that teenagers are more knowledgeable about any fashion accessory that other age-wise people.

Expectation from this sector is high and continuous. A designer catering to teenage fashion wear promises himself a life of insurrection and creative investigation. All teenagers are not rebels, they are just fashion conscious.

From cultural to fusion and trendy western casuals, teenage is all about joy in vivid colours. Teenagers are hard pressed for time as they are always speeding up from errands to coaching classes and regular schools. Thus they prefer something easy and relaxed. Their primary choice remains denims, jeans, washes in acid and stone. Corduroys fashions come and go. Teenagers go tremendously creative about accessories. Trinkets form bracelets, beads, clasp nose rings, cluster earrings, fake tattoos, nail painting, henna and bindis.

Carefree mind-set and the spirit of life is seen in mix and match wears, trendy jackets, stoles with tassels, bandanas, hair colour, faux fur trims on high boots and elbow pads in amazing hues. Shoes and belts are responsive to fashion demands and gadgets are trendy. Skirts go from long, to flares and short skirts from knee length to white mini skirts. Blouses come in tank tops and off shoulders for bold looks and classy colours in lilac and fuchsia in georgette or satin for a little conservative. The idea is to know the venue of your day and dress accordingly.

Racial wear for teenagers demands lot of invention. Lehengas and Ghagras come in various colours like emerald green, pool blue and be it gota, zari or embellishments in pearl, crystals or sequins, teenagers seem to need more! The demand is insatiable in fusion wear with embroidered suits for boys and jackets too. It is significant to notice the teenagers skin deep in tradition at any festival or celebration.

Though western trends such as japanese fashion seem to control teenagers in all walks of life, it is the effort of designers in balancing the ethnicity of Indian fashion. The next time you need the latest hair colour, be sure to ask a teenager!

Man Fashion Tips: How to Spot Fake Levi's 501 Jeans?

0 comments
There has been an outbreak of knock-off items over the past few years. Started from clothing to handbags and shoes. Unfortunately, one of the with One of the most popular items of clothing has been Levi's. To Levi's fan like us, we find it extra careful when we get our jeans online.



Most imitate Levi's are 'Vintage' Levi's 501s with all or some of the details that make real vintage Levi jeans valuable. These can include:



-The Red Tab with capital 'E" which date real levi's to pre-1971

-V-Stitch near the top button. Another vintage characteristic

-Buckle on the rear (Buckleback)

-Bar tacked Rear Pockets







These imitate Levi's are mostly come from Asia countries where they are made with cheap labor and materials. The denim used for the most part is of average quality, if not better than average. But the hardware used: Buttons, rivets, etc. are normally of inferior quality.



A quick search on eBay will almost always reveal anywhere from 2 to 3 fake pieces to almost 100 in some cases. eBay seem to be doing very little in trying to remove these items from their site, or in fact, it is almost impossible to identify all these imitation. Nevertheless, we would like to share some of the obvious areas that you could spot easily.



1. Number on back of top button:

Almost always stamped '501' off-center or not stamped at all. While some non-vintage authentic Levi's 501s may have this stamped on them, vintage big 'E' will always have a single digit or letter stamped (6, 5, 2, W) or blank, but if it is blank, there are usually punch marks on it.



2. Elongated 'V-Stitch' on fly:

Another common characteristic of fakes



3. Rear Patch:

The rear patch on the right hip can also give clues to whether or not the garment is authentic.



4. Material:

If it is a hard leather like material, the jeans are suspect. Unless the jeans are from the 1930s and the patch has a 'jerky' look to it, very few other Levi's have or had a real leather like patch. Although this is not a surefire way of telling because some in the LVC (Levi vintage clothing line) and ones produced in places other than the United States (Japan, Canada for example) did actually come with a hard leather patch.



5. Labeling:

Another clue is the printing on the patch. If the patch material seems authentic, most times the printing is not. It is either off center, spelling mistakes, or barring all of that not being present they are labeled '501-0657' in black ink. If the jeans are anything other than black 501s from the 1980s - if they have that on the label than they are fake.



Of course talk is easy, but how to differentiate when come to actual piece? Thanks to jhahn1234 who shared a video in YouTube.

How to succeed in modeling auditions?

0 comments

There is no chance to reach the limelight if you are going to nag behind in the modeling industry since it’s extremely competitive. Before getting an actual modeling gig, aspiring models should constantly fight their way towards success by attending a number of auditions. To be precise, auditions are your gateway to glorious field of modeling. But it is really tough to succeed an audition. It would seem exactly like a job interview and would be intimidating at times.

The auditions judge your performance as a model and hence play an important role in shaping your career. Even though they are stressful, they can be managed by handling with an air of self confidence. The most important thing to keep in the mind is that you need to present yourself in the best possible way along with polishing your talents. For a model, the main aspect is projecting the attitude in the most appealing way. The confidence your shine throughout the auditions and should carry out your personality.

The audition is similar to a job interview. Hence it is important to be at the audition place on time rather than being late. Last minute tension can damage the whole performance. It would be nice if you wear something professional than revealing. The jewelry and other accessories should essentially compliment your wardrobe and should not be flashy. Make sure that your personality is getting the whole attention rather than the costumes. The makeup should also be minimal and clean. Most important thing to remember is that the more auditions you attend, the more opportunities you would get.

Man Fashion: How to Attract Women with Your Wardrobe?

0 comments
These days more so than ever before, men are defined by their fashion sense. While older generations of men may have had their own fashionable styles and eras, there is no time better than now to express yourself through what you wear. And while the key to a woman's heart remains personality and charm, a first impression is almost always based upon one's looks. In other words, you are what you wear.





While this sounds a bit intimidating, it doesn't have to be, as gearing your wardrobe towards attracting women can be as easy as switching your socks. For others, it can mean overhauling the way they dress completely. First and foremost, the most important thing you can do for yourself to attract women is to wear clothing that fits you correctly. This may seem obvious, but many people actually walk around in clothes that are either too big or too small for them. Either way, it is far from flattering.



When putting together a wardrobe, diversity is important, but for men, consistency always wins. Have a favorite pair of pants? Pick up five pairs, all in different colors. Do the same for your favorite plain shirt, as well as your dress shirts. Dressing consistently says to the people you see on a daily basis that you've found your style and you're comfortable with it. Women like men who are confident; men who are comfortable with what they wear.



That being said, it doesn't hurt to have a clothing item in your arsenal that will turn heads. Not necessarily something outlandish, but something that the normal work-a-day businessman is not going to be seen wearing as he walks out of the coffee shop. Standing out from the crowd in a tasteful way is an excellent way to attract a woman's attention. This could be as simple as a quirky tie, a pair of sunglasses, or a stylish men’s ring.



Also important is to keep up with styles as they change. Many people are have gotten into the rut of buying an entire wardrobe worth of clothing and wearing it year after year until well after it goes out of style. If you show up at a party looking like you belong in the last decade, you may turn heads with the ladies, but it won't be for the reasons you want to. Staying on top of the latest trends in fashion shows women that you are confident in the way you dress and that you care about looking good.



All of this said, making yourself attractive to women is not a difficult thing to do. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to make sure that your appearance is neat and it looks like you put some effort - not a lot, just enough - into how you look for the day. Exude confidence, and chances are that women will be falling over you.

Oxfam’s Celebrity pop up shop opens for one week only

0 comments

Pop up shops, restaurants, art galleries etc have been ‘popping up’ all over London in a bid to lure customers into a unique, quirky and interesting new experience. Not only do they make use of redundant buildings, they can provide serious cash injection for those running the guises, if done correctly. Oxfam is the latest ‘brand’ to jump on the pop up bandwagon, with the opening of the Oxfam Curiosity Shop in London’s famous department store, Selfridges.

Okay, so it’s not your usual Oxfam shop. The staff will be made up of various A–list stars selling high-end and vintage fashion garments donated to the charity by celebrities. This is a one-week only event, starting today, so shoppers will need to get cracking if they want to get their hands on items previously belonging to Alexa Chung, Lady Gaga, Helen Mirren, to name a few.

TV presenter ZoĆ« Ball has raided her wardrobe for the cause. “Just like many women, I have often put off that much needed wardrobe clear out but I was inspired to dig out some of my old favourites for a good cause.”

Singer Annie Lenox, who is amongst the star studded work force said, “Women who are often trying to survive under conditions of chronic poverty motivated me to try to use my talents and resources to contribute to effective change.”

An online auction will be taking place (www.oxfam.org.uk), so people outside of London can also bag a bargain celebrity piece. The money raised will go to women’s projects around the world. Not a bad reason to indulge in a bit of retail therapy. Now where did I put my credit card?

Each watch is individually identified with plate numbers. The jumping hours and retrograde minute are controlled by the HL patent combining translation slide as a result of declining probe snail with a mass of gold acting as flywheel and to provide the energy necessary to jump drive.



In conclusion, there are so many mens designer watches out there, but we always believe that when choosing the most fashionable watches for ourselves, the true value lies in the choosing of the best watches that will be perfect for the purpose you have in mind.
