Men's Fashion Tips: Matching Men's Suits with Shoes or Pants

I have received many queries by readers on how to match their shoes against their other mens clothing, like suit or pants. Actually it is not as difficult as they think it is since the choices of colors for men's shoes are quite limited. Unless you have a taste for extraordinary colors, otherwise there should not be much problem coordinating dress shoes.

Always remember that formality of dress shoes begins from the darkness of its color. For example, black is always the most formal color while light brown is the least formal. So you should match your shoes against your suits or pants based on the occasion. If you are attending a formal business dinner, then naturally black shoes are your ultimate choice rather than brown shoes.

Of late, there are more men wearing light brown or camel colored dress shoes against their dark colored suits or pants. These high contrast creates a very trendy style which I personally like. However, we should also note that this combination gives a more casual feel toward it.

What if the suit or pants are brown-based colors like olive or chocolate colors? Must we definitely wear it against brown shoes? Not necessarily, black shoes are just as fine. Of course, brown shoes would let the color flow very smoothly but black is still a color that can fit nicely. Remember that black is the color for formal.

Lace-up shoes are one step better than slip-ons for their formality. At the same time, lace-ups are split into Balmoral and Blucher types. Refer to Mens Dress Shoes Styles for their differences. The latter is always considered less formal because of its open throat design.

So remember that whether you want a formal or casual look would depend on your choice of two criteria: the dress shoe style and its color. My brother actually has a gray shoe that is blucher styled with pointed tip and polished patented leather. Due to these various combinations, his dress shoe actually looked almost formal against dark colored pants and yet with a tinge of stylishness.

Why Wear A Thong?

Thongs are the latest new design for womens panties. Thongs are panties designed to offer a totally smooth fit with no detectable panty lines. The no-show thong has become popular with women of all ages.

Basically, the thong is a panty with full frontal coverage with a narrow piece of material for back coverage. The average thong ranges from an extremely low rise at 3-1/2 (great for hip hugging fashions) to the high waist thong at a 6 rise. Most range from the sizes of extra small to extra large. Some thongs have nothing more than a g-string for no back coverage. The g-string sometimes consists of lace, pearls, or sequins.

Thongs can be found in many different styles, including: extremely low rise, low rise, bikini, hi cut, and waist high. The thongs waistband can be either a string or a wide side panel. Some thongs have flower or butterfly appliques at the back waistband. Other thongs even have cute or sexy words embroidered on the front.

Thongs come in different fabrics, including: 100% cotton, cotton and spandex blends, cotton and lycra blends, nylon and spandex microfiber, silk knits, mesh and lace.

So, why choose to wear a thong? Many women love the comfortable fit of a thong and the smooth no show look it provides.
