Classic looks for stylish men

Staying stylish can be burdensome for the busy businessman. With fashions coming and going with every changing season, it is simply not practical to dedicate any serious amount of time to reworking a wardrobe. Fortunately, there are several classic wardrobe items that can become staples of any stylish man’s wardrobe, regardless of the current trends. Proven through decades, these wardrobe staples are “must-haves” for any fashion conscious fellow.

1.      Cardigans: Ideal for both casual and more formal occasions alike, cardigans belong in any classic wardrobe. Less formal than suit jackets, cardigans can keep even your Saturdays fashionably clothed. Keep a few darker colours around for the winter months, and invest in a couple lighter shades for the warmer seasons.

2.      Harrington jacket: Every man needs a good jacket keep him warm and keep him stylish, and Harrington jackets do just that. Perfectly cut to provide ideal silhouettes, these coats are made to last for many years—allowing wearers to make an initial investment that is sure to be worn every winter.

3.      Classic Watch: Even though the use of phones for keeping time is becoming more and more common, a classic watch is still a stellar option for a stylish outfit. Since watches are among the only men’s jewellery options, they are often seen as statements of a man’s position. Choose a classic watch that is not overly flashy for a good everyday accessory.

4.      Ted Baker shoes: Ted Baker has crafted the perfect all-purpose men’s shoes, and the fashion-conscious businessman really can’t go wrong with any of this brand’s styles. These shoes are perfect when worn with jeans, khakis, and business slacks alike. However, if one cannot afford (or simply does not wish to purchase) Bakers, then he should consider investing in another brand of similar styling.

Working on my Halloween Costume

With Halloween coming up, I thought it might be time to consider my options for my costume this year.  Over the past couple of years, I have used my MLB jerseys to be baseball players for Halloween, but my girlfriend this year thought we should do something a little different.  She is really into robots, so we have decided to go as robots for Halloween.

Instead of just going to the store and renting a costume, we thought that it would be neat if we made one of our own.  I seem to remember my father making a robot costume for me when I was twelve, but I thought that I would humor Jill this time – at least she didn’t choose something embarrassing like dressing up as Barbie and Ken.

We have drawn up the plans for our costumes and we have decided that not only will we have costumes that look like robots, but they will work too.  We are going to add a number of switches for lights and sounds as well as mounting our iPads on the front of each robot with our custom designed app.  Except for the fact that we will be humans on the inside, we should look like robots to everyone else.

I think that Jill has bought tickets for us for a Halloween party where there is judging for the best costume.  Based on our preliminary designs and the work that we have done on the robot costumes so far, I see no reason why we won’t get first place.  This is certainly shaping up to be one of the best Halloweens on record – I can’t wait!
