Packing for Summer Holiday – Top 5 Items April 30, 2008

When it comes to packing for vacation, men usually have the least headache. In fact most men prefer to travel light. Bringing along essential items that suits the weather is very common for short trips lasting no more than few weeks. Traveling light is considered convenient and practical.

Not surprisingly, most men are not embarrassed to rotate or even wear the same few pieces of shirts or pants for the entire holiday, assuming laundry services are available. However, for the ladies, this is quite unthinkable as most will pack in a few extra sets just for photo taking purposes.

So, what do men usually pack with them if they are going for summer holiday? It is always best to bring along casual clothing that are cooling, easy to clean and dry of course. Having a set of formal wear is also common for an unanticipated formal dinning.

Here are the Top 5 items men should have in their luggage:

1. 3 sets of T-shirt
2. 2 sets of short pants or Bermuda
3. 4 sets of under wear
4. 1 set of formal wear (long sleeves shirts and long pants)
5. 1 piece of sweater/ wind breaker (to be worn during flights or night traveling)

And for sure, I won’t be leaving without my set of jewellery.

Smart Shirts back on style March 28, 2008

I stumbled on an article on shirts which have brought back quiet alot of the 70’s fashion sense. I can remember way back in the days when a very tight jeans, smart body hugging shirt would be the talk of the day by the opposite sex. Walking down your road, heading to the movies and with your walkman listening to “cool and the gang” with an old pair of levi’s jeans – the bomb..

The fashion world have evolved from the days of tight pointed jeans to a more free styled straight,boot cut jeans. But is it thesame for shirts? well this was a topic of debate by top clothing designer in the LA catwalk show early this year. Men’s shirts range from different style down to quality, you’ll always want to wear a good simple shirt with enamel cufflinks. Yes, we do love how we look either casual or formal..How many shirts is enough! For every season of the year..your demand for new style increases, a good body hugging slim fit shirt will be in the wardrobe till the next summer..And trust me, that same shirt will be out of fashion that coming year..

Van heusen, a world brand in men’s shirts- casual,dressesd and even accessories such as cufflinks and ties, have launched an all seasoned style.
