Unique Ideas To Choose Mens Prom Dresses To Impress Your Girl

Choosing to wear befitting and unique prom dresses on a prom night does not only come in the fashion domain of an about-to-leave-her-school girl, but going for the best prom dresses can be considered equally important for all school leaving men too.

A simple looking mistake can be hyped unnecessarily and people will leave no stone unturned to make a mountain out of a mole. So you have to be extremely careful enough otherwise you may have to face some inevitable.

Thus leave nothing while you don the most stylish mens prom dresses to see your girl impressed by your dress sense that night. So she can rate her prom night as the second most important night of her life. Of course, the most important one is yet to come.

So, oh men! Try to choose as impressive mens clothing as possible. After all your girl needs to have some stories to tell her friends once she is asked about your fashion maneuvers on your prom night. Lets see these tips and tricks showing how  you can be the most dazzling and stunning one for your girl that night.

Comfort Counts : Choose what you want, but never forget that nothing can be called 'stylish' by her unless it gives you much needed comfort. Of course, your comfort quotient can be visible once you hit the floor.

Don't you know that dancing and swinging on your toes welcome least obstruction? A friendly cut relives you from the job to keep it managing all the time. After all, you need to have a pair of hands to hold her only, not your mens prom dresses.

Unique But Sober : Whatever mens prom dresses you choose must look charming and sober. You shouldn't join the bandwagon of those who always keep looking for something which looks unique but eventually make a mockery of you that prom night.

Of course, the formal prom must look formal only. Refrain from glossy and sparkling fabrics and textures. Only your girl has the right to wear shimmering prom dresses. To look most sober try a black dinner suit which is single breasted. Pair it up with a blue or red cummerbund and bow tie.

Style File : However, still there is something left which will make your girl count your mens prom dress as most stylish one. Thus choose one which suits your body shape at its best.

The sleeves of your mens prom should cover your wrists properly and the chest area should not hang loosely. The shoulder area should be loose enough to give you maximum free movements while you raise your arms in the air.

Footwear and Accessories : Choosing a right footwear for your prom is a bit tricky. Choose only black formal leather shoes. The plain looking and pointed shapes are most sought after. Refrain from a shoe which has many stitch lines or pinholes on it, only in the name of fashion.

Refrain from a keeping a crisp white handkerchief near your chest. Something in light cream hue will do. Though the idea is on a wane slowly, still a tie can be a tool to impress your girl. Choose a tie which matches the suit. A bow tie too can be effective, if you don't like ties.

However, if you love to wear a scarf then try an evening tailcoat. Pair it up with a bow tie and a white or a light blue mens shirt.

Scanning the Skin : Not only does how a mens prom dress fit on your body, how does it matches with your skin tone works a great deal too. So choose only those textures and colors which make a striking resonance with your skin tone.

However, nothing is parallel to choosing a black mens prom dress. Your girls will appreciate your likeness for classic fashion apparel.

Go to Store : To have the best and most suitable mens prom dress, going to a prom dress store is most profitable. You can grab your prom dress after giving attention to all the necessary details.

You may end up saving some money too. Being sensible? Eh! After all ordering a prom dress online may need you to pay the shipping cost too, though many offer free shipping delivery. A girl loves a sensible man, isn't it?

Spring Fashion Trends For Men

For men, spring brings a lot of chances to show their fashion sense. Definitely, men are cooler in spring than any other season round the calender. But most of the time this 'cool' feature turns off when it comes to choosing a right office wear as part of spring fashion trends for men in 2009.

The latest spring fashion trends for office wear has come with a completely different dimension and angle. They are traditional in shape, yet trendy in look and color shots. The designers and experts are paying attention to minute details like never before as far as your office wear this spring 2009 is concerned.

Light Green Ties To Office, But How ? This spring 2009 has brought chances galore to make you look trendier than ever. Thus put a full stop before the traditional striped, glossy and deep colored ties this spring 2009. Rather this spring has opened up a completely new gate(read floodgate) of light green ties.

The designers have designed spring mens ties using various lighter shades of green. Thus when ever you happen to wear a white shirt to your office, don't dare to wear a tie dipped in a color other than tea green or lime green.

While if you happen to wear a shirt in light blue, bright pink or lemon yellow before you enter your cubicle, wearing a tie in sage green or mint green will be a befitting mens clothing  for office going men. Wearing a polka dot  mens shirt too will cause the same effect.

However, wearing a deep color shirt with these light green ties would be an office fashion faux pas this spring 2009, except wearing such ones with a black satin satin shirt. A black satin shirt is compatible mens spring fashion trend with all the ties in lighter shades of green, definitely.

Blazing Blazers To Office, But How ? Now you have got your ties. You will get your shirts in the next article of spring office wear fashion trends for men. What else do you want? Oh! I forgot it, indeed. You need a befitting blazer before you proceed to your office. Of course, the mens spring fashion trend is not complete without it.

While looking for an exciting blazer as a part of your office wear, first of all, look at the type and quality of the fabric this spring 2009. Surely, the all-time-hit cotton fabric is number one choice for your office blazer.

However, if you are supposed to attend a spring office party in the night, choose a blazer made of refined wool or cashmere. Now feel the comfort and warmth of such one! Even you can use satin and velvet blazers to look trendier during those spring nights.

However, refrain from wearing blazers which uses synthetic fabric injudiciously. A blazer having 10-12% percent synthetic fabric is considered safe. Anything more than that will make the breathing immensely hard to your body.

As far as the style and cut, as part of spring fashion trends for men, is concerned, choose a traditional cut if you posses a heavy and chubby figure. Such mens fashion apparel are much flattering for plus-size men. However, a man who has an athletic figure must go for an 'European Cut.' Such a cut will provide him a befitting silhouette this spring 2009.

Like your ties and shirts, related to mens spring fashion trends 2009, your blazers too need to be in lighter shades and hues to give you a striking spring office wear this year of 2009. However, when you need to choose a blazer, get ensured that the patterns on the fabric make a resonance with its color.

For example, striped patterns are a strict no no this spring 2009. They are suitable on a deep color fabric only. Don't you know that we are talking about light color fabrics only? Thus go for a light texture for your office wear which come with check and other geometric patterns only. And lastly do not forget to wear a good wristwatch to sum up the effect and also to make you reach on time.

Womens Beachwear Trends

A woman's wardrobe can't be tagged as a complete one until and unless she has brought in some of the latest womens beachwear. Definitely, the beachwear trends in 2009 have noticed a striking escape from the classic tinges and hues. Thus they have become more trendy and casual.

After all, it is a matter of comfort, style and great looks even if you are surfing, taking a dip in the sea water, playing beach ball or enjoying sunbath. Thus the designers are leaving no stone unturned to give you the best womens beachwear ever. They are inspired by the latest colors. They are made of all the fabrics and textures found these modern days.

So have a look at the following tips and tricks to what is hottest, most glamorous, most comfortable, most unique womens beachwear this spring 2009. Some of them are designed not only to help you flaunt your beautiful body parts but also to flatter some less attractive ones. So wear one of them to have a double bonanza.

If You Love Experimenting : For a women's beachwear lover, nothing is more suitable this spring than an under-wire bikini top. Won't you love to wear something which can be worn by a series of other womens beachwear. Such is the magic of these under-wire bikini tops.

They prove a suitable match for a wide range of bikini bottoms whether it is a classic satin hot pant or a belted hipster pant or a trendy floral bikini bottom. Want to look ultimately stylish this spring? Such under-wire bikinis are a hit with metallic halter necks too, you should know.

No Panting For Pants : The womens beachwear designers this spring are all geared up to give you the latest versions of bikini bottoms. So shun getting too worried about what to choose as the most befitting bikini bottom. You have hi-leg swim pants and designer hipsters to your comfort.

Just choose any suitable bikini top and you will have a wide range of pants to choose from. There are metallic side pants making you shine on the beach. Even side pants with geometric and floral prints have proved a hot womens beachwear. Many side pants come with adjustable sides, so even if you carry a chubby figure you will find them extremely comfortable.

Crossover Beachwear : No more only crossover officewear here! Here comes this spring a trendy range of crossover beachwear too. Now you can also look like him, or vice versa, on the sea beach. More clearly, some crossover beachwear will give you a manly look while some will make him look like a woman.

Just imagine him in a beachwear with pink polka dots or purple floral prints. So the next time when you go out to buy your favorite womens beachwear, buy a couple pack of such crossover beachwear. Paint him in your colors.

Latest Flatterers : The famous womens beachwear designer have paid their attention to a very important aspect of beachwear trends this spring. They have come up with a range of womens beachwear which are especially designed to suit all the body types.

They have provided this solution in their latest and unique collection of one-shouldered bikinis. Some are designed to make less attractive shoulders more flattering and attention gathering. A one-shouldered bikini is available, this spring, in all hues and patterns you might think of.

They have been designed especially to hide and reveal those body parts which you want to. So shun the fear of exposing your short legs. They are flattering enough to make them look longer.

With beachwear you can also go for Tiffany jewelry which is light and adds to the chic look of yours and a Rolex Daytona watch which is water proof.

Must Have Fashion Trends For Spring

Like all the springs and summers so far seen by this fashion sensitive generation, the spring/summer 2009 too has come up with some unique and niche type of fashion trends. These must have fashion trends are bold, hot, trendy but cool too. However, it doesn't mean that the things being promoted as part of spring/summer must have fashion trends 2009 were not seen or experienced ever. Most of them are a simple but completely different variations of the older things.

For example, the favorite dress this year was profoundly used back in the initial decades of the last century. On the same line the most favorite color this year is an innovative version launched by Pantone. The favorite pants and trousers meant for this spring/summer is an artistic replica of a favorite jeans type. Read out the following lines to know more about what are latest womens clothing fashion trends you must have this spring/summer 2009.

Favorite Color : No more the trend of dull and dark colors, this spring/summer. Rather, not only this current spring/summer 2009, but the whole year belongs to Mimosa Yellow, a trendy variation of all-time hit of yellow. You can relate this fashion color, an innovation of color giant Pantone, to a soon-to-ripe papaya or a shining orange. So this spring/summer, whatever you buy, right from your fashion accessories to your fashion apparel, dare not to think of buying anything dipped in any other color. Definitely, Mimosa Yellow is the color of year 2009, so it will rule!

Favorite Party Dress :  The spring/summer 2009 fashion trends tell you to be a trendsetter, rather than being a follower. So what about trying something which was in the center of fashion decades back; a party dress with fringes around the knee areas. Of course, the party dresses with fringes will raise many eyebrows. But you have already decided to be a winner. So, why to bother? To be the most fashionable, this spring/summer, try a fringe party dress in Mimosa Yellow. Don't you know that it is the favorite color this year. Try with big and statement earrings and classic black sandals.

Favorite Evening Gown : Many fashionable ladies, in order to make the evenings the best phase of her 'days,' constantly look to buy and wear the most fashionable and trendy evening gowns, available in the market. The current spring/summer 2009 must have fashion trends have seen the rising trend of one-shoulder evening gowns. What could be better than wearing a one-shoulder gown dipped in any of the Pantone's best colors. However, again I must say that nothing is better than the hit Mimosa Yellow.

Favorite Jewelry Type : The way you donned the trendy fringe party dress, you can try to look the boldest even while putting on a befitting jewelry. The common jewelry trend, this spring/summer, has gone 'bigger.' So whatever fashion jewelry, you plan to wear this year that has to be ultimately 'big and bold.' The colorful circular statement earrings have made a mark already. Moreover, you can wear wide metallic bracelets. Wearing bigger pendants has gone a complete hit.

Favorite Pant :Boyfriend pants! What? I have heard of boyfriend jeans millions of times, but what does this boyfriend pant means? Yes, this is an emerging bold trend. They are very much same in design like any boyfriend jeans, but made of varied fabrics, however, not of denim, necessarily. These womens jeans are cool this spring/summer and are made to give you a relaxed feel and fit. The best could be one made of cotton. The design is pretty simple; a semi-gripping below knee part along with a loose-fit area around the hips and waistline. Suitable for all the casual walks and parties. Try with sandals or wedges.

Being Friends With the Opposite Sex

Almost everyone has at least one friend of the opposite sex. Sometimes it may be hard, while other times it's great having someone there to talk to and understand your relationship as the same sex as your partner.




It's hard to not cross the line. Being friends with the opposite sex means spending tons of time together. However, you must know your boundaries of what you can and cannot do or talk about. It is quite common for the male or female in the friendship to have a crush on the other person. This leads to many difficulties. Although, if it's pointed out from the start that the relationship will not grow more than just a friendship, it may be a blessing.



A crush obviously means feelings for the other. So, when one is in trouble, they can go straight to their friend and talk them through it -- many times being more sincere than others.



Although this sounds great, it could lead to problems. If the friend keeps his or her feelings to himself/herself for a long period of time they could explode, leaving heartaches on both sides of the spectrum. Even if the feelings aren't kept bundled up, heartache may be in order once the other finds a partner. Which, may also end up hurting the partner, making them jealous or forbidding the friends to see each other.



Most friends of opposite sexes are great from the start, but fade in time. However, friendship may become more; many friends become spouses later on, be it ten or twenty-years down the road. Most just need to realize their true feelings for the other before becoming serious.

Won in Preen Pre Fall 2010 Collection

Korean Actress Ha Ji Won (하지원) may be famous for her role in Sex is Zero. Recently she apperared in Korean Police Drama Secret Garden. While she attented the press conference, Ha Ji Won wore a grey lace dress from Preen Pre-Fall 2010 collection with ankle boots we saw on Kim Jung Eun (김정은).

Ha Ji Won was spotted at SBS Building. With her short haircut, I almost didn't recognize that she is Ha Ji Won.

The Chelsea Stretch Lace Dress in Military Green retails for USD$1120.00 on Net-A-Porter while the grey version which Ha Ji Won (하지원) wore is on sale for USD$724.50 (30% off) at La Garçonne.

The boots definitely made her legs looks shorter, thus I am not a fan of the look.

Preen is a fashion Collection by Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi.

Preen Pre-Fall 2010 Collection keeps the Preen consistent style, but there are several exciting outfit. In particular attention, oversize suit jacket,. Another thing I like black skirt closed.

The Preen show has always been one of the highlights of fashion week for me, and this season, they did not disappoint. I love how free-flowing drapery flirts with body-con silhouettes, and needless to say, I want to wear the whole collection.
