Clothes

Holi is one of the most popular festivals of India and it is most noted for its exuberance, vivacity and of course its vibrant colors. Holi is truly a unique festival as there is no such similar festival thats celebrated in other parts of the world. Being such a unique festival, Holi is not only popular in India but also all over the world. Holi is all about colors and it is this vibrancy that makes Holi so very popular. The main custom of Holi involves smearing and putting color powders or colored water on friends and family. Holi is one festival that offers limitless fun and enjoyment.
Holi is a celebration of colors but it is celebrated in pure white clothes. As ironic as it may seem, this tradition of white Holi Clothes has been followed since many years. There lies a simple reason behind the tradition of white clothes for Holi. Unlike colored clothes, pure white clothes offer a better visibility of all the Holi colors that has been applied on the person wearing. The custom of white clothes on Holi is just for pure fun and is devoid of any spiritual or religious connotation. White clothes on Holi adds to the fun of Holi celebration as a person is dressed up in pristine white clothes and in a matter of minutes, theres not a single white patch to be seen on the outfit. White Kurtas for men and white Kurtis for women are popular items of clothing for Holi. Theres a huge demand for these in the market few days prior to Holi. A popular and traditional Holi outfit for men is Kurta Pyjama or Churidar Kurtas in other light shades such as cream, beige, off-white, etc. Cotton Kurtas, Cotton Kurta Pyjama, Cotton Churidar Kurta, etc are few popular Holi Clothes for men. Holi Clothes in cotton are highly preferred since it makes the person wearing it feel comfortable amidst all the chaotic celebrations. Women are spotted in Holi Clothes such as white Kurtis paired with trousers or leggings, white Salwar Kameez, white Churidar Suit or white Sarees paired with white Saree Blouse. Since Holi Clothes are essentially one-time wear, nothing fancy or exquisite is selected for the day since there wouldnt be any possibility of wearing the same outfit again. Plain and simple white cotton clothes make the perfect Holi Clothes as they are comfortable and ideal for celebrating the festival of colors.

Men’s Fashion – The Dominating Favourites

Men Fashion

As I write this, London Fashion Week is well under way and I cannot help but wonder just what new and wondrous creations will attempt to make a bang in the world of men’s fashion. Judging by the number of previous catwalk shows I have witnessed I predict a range of drastically bold colours and prints, weird shaped pants and jumpers that might not work quite as well in everyday life.

It is strange but no matter what happens and what the leading men’s designers attempt to throw our way, whether it is garish greens, bold blues or neon fabrics; men’s fashion has and always will have those dominating favourites that will never change.

In my personal experience and following years of working in the fashion world our appreciation and adoration for simple yet beautifully cut suits, smart trousers, polo shirts and plain cotton jumpers will never die. Many may consider this as boring and try to put us down to be the least fashionable men in the world but if these styles are so fashion poor than why is it that, in such a vast number of years and despite the introduction of every new design and style you can think of, we still dress like this?

Admittedly leading fashion designers have attempted to mix things up a little with bright colours and patterns and bold uses of materials but those only ever work in the world of cat-walks, celebrities and fashion magazines. For the real men, those who are working the nine to five in their offices, those who attend family weddings, take their wives to dinner and go on holiday in the summer there is hardly a place for a yellow suit is there?

It seems boring and rather monotonous but our love of the classic styles in those everlasting greys, blacks and browns is something that will never die and in fact if you ask me it never has to. By not wearing something so bright and outrageous you shouldn’t fear that you are losing out in the fashion races, instead take a step back and remind yourself that your grandfather, father and even leading celebrities like James Bond’s Daniel Craig have worn these classic styles and classic colours that have always worked well for them so they can continue to work well for you.

In the wake of London Fashion Week I think I can confidently state that, no matter what the new fad may be, what the latest colours and styles become and what people consider to be the must have accessories; the classic men’s designer clothing will always remain the dominating favourites.

Smart suits and shirts for the office, jeans trousers and polo’s during the casual days and maybe some linen trousers on the weekend or during a holiday will always be in the wardrobes of many men for years to come. Nothing will knock those favourites of the tops spot, don’t you agree?

A Man’s Guide To The Blazer Jacket

Wholesale Clothing

Most men do not mix up their clothing enough. Using their jeans as part of casual clothing and only using blazer jackets as formal wear. But both of these types of clothing, including many others can be mixed. Not only does this increase the amount of outfits that can be created with a set amount of clothing in your wardrobe. But this can create smart but casual clothing that is suitable for a variety of occasion. The line where formal and informal dress is never closer. With many events merging between the two.

Let’s focus on the men’s blazer jacket. This piece of clothing is only really considered when a smart look is required. Limiting the potential of the blazer. Try matching a blazer with different coloured trousers to create a much less formal look. While providing much greater possibilities over a single coloured blazer and trousers.

First and foremost, its vital that the blazers you own and intend on buying in the future have a great fit. Therefore it is advisable that when worn regularly a tailored blazer is recommended. Not just because it will be greater quality and will most likely last longer than an off-the-shelf blazer jacket. But because a correctly fitting blazer is essential. It will be much more comfortable and give of a greater image.

If you do decide to buy off-the-shelf, then remember that when measuring your body to find the correct size, you measure around the widest part of the body. Placing the tape close under your arms whilst keeping the tape flat across the back.

Another consideration when choosing a blazer is between the different styles available. There is an American style blazer and an English style blazer.

The American style blazer is identifiable, by looking for 2 buttons and a centre vent. Also featuring notched lapels.

The English style blazer features a special cut that will emphasise the shoulders and chest. Most commonly found as double breasted and a double vent. Most likely have peaked lapels and three buttons.

Each style will suit different body styles, therefore it can be worthwhile to try on both before deciding. But it must be noted that the American style blazers are much easier to be dressed down that their English style counterpart.

Now the basics of the blazer have been covered, lets view the combinations and recommended clothing that best suit blazers.

The first step is to remember that a blazer is not a suit coat. Therefore, unlike a suit, the blazer colour should never match the colour of trousers worn.

Lastly, personalisation is key. Choosing a good well-match combination of trousers and blazer, taking into account the colour is key to standing out. But it doesnt have to stop there, consider mixing the blazer with different combinations of buttons and pocket squares.

Mens blazers have remained in fashion for hundreds of years, and for good reason. Learn to re-kindle your love for the blazer today. Understand the versatility and functionality that it can provide every man.
