So you think you are a pro when it comes to matching solid-colored ties with solid-colored shirts, huh? You think are but I can guarantee you that you're not. With all the latest trends coming out in recent years pushing a mix-and-match approach, you need to constantly be in the know to stay ahead of the mixing stripes and patterns curve.
Most of us simply play it safe, opting for solid shirts with a coordinating, striped tie. Wearing anything else other than that is a little too much of pushing the edge. Look around and you'll rarely see a guy even attempt anything other than the norm or they just buy what stores tell them to because it works for the store.
Fortunately for these
fashion lacking men, learning how to combine interesting shirts and
ties is not as difficult as it sounds. All it takes is following a few
simple rules. It couldn't be easier. Here are some tips to making your
shirt and tie stand out from everybody around you:
- Repeat colors in each pattern - With this piece of advice, it is best if you pick out your shirt first then choose a tie based on the color of the shirt. Choose a tie with accents that use the same dominant colors of your shirt. If your shirt is a dark brown with lighter, more subtle, nutmeg-colored stripes and the background of the tie is pink with the small, brown, art-nouveau print, then this combination of a brown dress shirt and pink silk is a perfect example of this rule.
- Graduate checks outward - The art of combining a checked shirt with a differently checked tie skillfully is one way to get a second look. The fashion rule is to always wear smaller checked prints on your body as on your shirt and save the larger checks for your tie. Pay attention to the colors because your shirt and tie need to be a similar color palette. Let's use a combination of shirt in pumpkin-plaid with small, thin checks matches perfectly with a navy-striped silk tie and its larger checks. Don't forget about keeping your trousers in the same overall color scheme.

Any person thirty five years or older who has recently walked past a group of middle school or high school girls has probably seen more waist and hip skin than they ever imagined on a 12 year old, more cleavage than they thought possible on a 15 year old, and more belly buttons than a Beyonce’ video. The trends and fashion statements that are “in style” with pre-teens and teens today would have earned women who are in their mid thirties a suspension from school for inappropriate dressing.
But it isn’t the fashions themselves that have me frustrated. It is the fact that through wearing some of these items at such an early age, young girls are not learning what comfortable clothing feels like, they’re not learning how to not feel objectified by their dress, and they’re not learning how to present their individuality outside of these trends. My ten year old daughter taught me how cruel teen girl fashions have become.
Last year, in the beginning of my daughter’s 5th grade school year, she was wearing the low waist jeans. I’d be in the kitchen cooking dinner and she’d sit down and do her homework. As I walked past, I’d notice more backside than waist was in full view. I’d tell her, “Pull your pants up. Nobody wants to see where the sun doesn’t shine.” The next day, she’d have on a different pair of jeans, she’d sit down and again, I’m seeing the top of her gluteus maximus where some fabric should have been. I didn’t recall buying all these low waist pants. When we were in the department store it seemed that the pants covered her bottom, but now it seemed every time I walked by I was getting mooned. For the next couple of weeks, I must have sounded like the booty crack monitor because I was telling my daughter to pull up her pants like every five minutes. Finally, I became so angry I asked her where were her underpants. Defensively, she told me, “I have on underwear.” Well, an argument ensued because if my pants fell below my waist you’d see cotton bloomers before you’d see my naked skin. Why weren’t my daughter’s undies protecting her?
My daughter and I went upstairs and talked and she showed me that she did indeed have on her underwear, but she’d begun to fold over the top of her underwear because she’d learned in school that you shouldn’t let people see your underwear if you have on low rise pants. What was worse is that she’d kept wearing underwear that were too small to achieve the “look.” How cruel is that? Without my knowledge my daughter was learning to sacrifice comfortable underwear for small ones for the sake of fashion. I couldn’t understand it, and I knew too small underwear would be uncomfortable for me as well as wearing jeans that allowed my backside to be exposed at the slightest bend. Yet, whenever I would tell my daughter to pull up her jeans, she didn’t seem embarrassed, or particularly bothered. It appeared that showing more flesh than desired was all a part of wearing the fashion and so it wasn’t a “big deal.”

1. CONFUSE. Create a graphic t-shirt design that forces people to look again. It can be a simple design, but one that is just too silly to not look at one more time, or something so difficult to decipher yet catchy enough that people keep looking at your torso while they speak. The graphic t-shirts that have most caught my attention are those who have large lettering to get you to start reading, but contain a kicker in small letters that you must read from up close to figure out. Treat graphic t-shirts like billboards in the subway: if people don't somehow feel confused they probably won't try and figure out what the rest of the tee says. Another way to confuse people is to use a graphic design that just makes no sense. One t shirt I saw showed a triangle trying to escape from between rows of bars - multi-color bars. It just made no sense, but definitely forced me to look at it.
2. FUNKIFY. Make graphic t-shirts that have funk written all over them. Not literally. It is a trend for now, but it is an effective way to making tshirts that are cool. Take a cartoon image - say of an astronaut listening to a boom box - add some colors behind him, with an 80's touch to it - and you will have a funky-looking graphic tee. Curvy lettering, hot colors, simple designs all can give you a funky feel. Design your graphic t shirt while you listen to some Maceo Parker and that should help too.
3. GO RETRO. Take it back in time with a graphic tee design that reminds people of another epoch. Right now, the 80's are hot. Until recently, it was the 70's. What does this mean? Plenty of overuse of multiple color schemes meant to bring out lettering, 3-D effects, rock star band t-shirt designs, and Madonna. American Eagle has been using a lot of retro-looking designs in its shirts, using distressed screens to print some of them so that they have an old look. Their designs are getting old though, now that graphic t-shirts are cooler when they look like they're from the 80's.
4. BE IRONIC. Design a tshirt that is simple enough that people can interpret and that is incongruent with the situation. The surrealists were the masters of this. Follow Duchamp's lead and design a graphic t-shirt that says something that is clearly untrue or that just makes no sense. Retro-irony used to be funny, but is now being used less often. By retro irony, I mean an old advertisement that has a new meaning today. Some graphic t-shirts still have these designs.
5. BE UNCONVENTIONAL. Take a common graphic t-shirt design and do something else with it. Take a design that people are accustomed to - say a rainbow - and make it drip like wet paint. Take unicorns and show them having sex. Just whatever it is, make sure it pops with creative thought. Your tee should send a message that is not lost in translation, that breaks some barriers.

Women fashion trends borrow heavily from trends for grown ups, but include one important distinction: teen fashions exist within strictly enforced fashion subcultures. For most womens, clothing is short-hand for declaring which clique they belong to. Womens tend to dress in clothing that announces their affiliations and interests with crystal clarity. This quality gives their clothing a simplicity you're less likely to find in the adult collections at www.ftv.com and Fashion TV. However, simplicity can be a virtue, as can the teenager's whole-hearted devotion to his current passions.

Gift giving is a part of life. We give gifts for holidays, get well gifts, thinking about you today gifts, good luck, birthdays, religious occasions, graduations, teachers, people who have given us service and on and on. It is a fun part of what we do in our lives but can it be a hassle.
There are some gifts we give we know from year to year we are going to need yet we scramble at the last minute to buy the gift, get it wrapped and delivered. (Have you ever thought, "It's your birthday again"?) With a little planning and preparation these stressful situations of giving a gift can be avoided. Here are six simple tips to make gift giving pleasurable.
Have one central place for gifts. It could be in an under the bed container, a closet, a basket, anywhere handy yet not in your way. When you purchase a gift you know right where its designated place is and when you need it you don't have to go searching. If it is for a family member and needs to be hidden on top of the closet shelf may be an option.
When you are out shopping, keep your eyes open for good buys so you will have a nice selection of gifts when one is needed in a hurry. These could include picture frames, candles, books, toys, bath products and so forth. Shop the sales to take the stress out of your budget.
Make a list in your planner of who you plan on buying gifts for during the year. When you buy a gift for them, write down what you bought and where you put it. This works for Christmas gifts as well. When shopping the sales after Christmas make a list of who you have bought gifts for and where you are storing them for the next year. (Don't assume you will remember).
