Father’s
Day Special
If we’ve got it right, you Dads will be out and about with the family in
the sun over the coming weeks so we thought we’d give you a tip or two about
summer’s biggest men’s trend: shorts!
Here’s some do’s and
don’ts…
1.
Don't
wear baggy long shorts unless you are golfing.
2. Don't wear gym/athletic shorts during a
dinner out, a day out around town; you're screaming "I've given up."
3. Don't wear cut-offs or jean shorts ("jorts") unless you’re lucky enough to be in your twenties.
4. Don't overload the pockets of
your cargo shorts.
And here are all the
things you should be doing!...
1.
Do
wear flat front khaki shorts.
Don't like khaki? Then opt for a nice charcoal, black, olive, stone or navy color. You will look
put together and stay cool and comfy.
2.
Do
wear a cool pair of board shorts if you are at the beach. But remember, if you are nowhere
near water you will look like a poser!
3.
Do
wear linen shorts if you are going to
an upscale party and it’s just too hot for pants. Pair them with a nice leather
or fabric sandal and a short sleeved linen shirt. You will make heads turn.
4.
Do
invest in a trendy short. If you are a fashion forward guy, then you could try some cargo shorts and capris.
Dads and Grads
Are you stumped
on what to get the dads and grads in your life? We’ve got all the inspiration you need!
Hair Style
He’ll want to look good for the big day so booking him in for a proper
hair style will be a welcome treat.
Skin Care
This is a terrific way to introduce skin care to
guys who would not go out and buy products for themselves. Skin needs to be
treated with a little more TLC when it’s shaved so often.
Watches and Cufflinks
A limited budget
doesn't mean you can't wear a neat watch. There are plenty of options out there
these days. Cuffs can add individuality to a man’s suit so be playful!
Colour Splash
If he is afraid of wearing colour then a cotton or linen scarf might be a good way to add some to his outfit without committing to too much.
Fashion
Sweaters are a key
element in any man's wardrobe and are a great transitional weather item for when
summer days turn to cooler nights.
Like jeans, polos
have become a staple in many a male wardrobe. Colourful tees with fun designs make an
excellent gift that’s a bit different.
Bags
Our men have their hands full at the best of times. And what with
laptop, papers, keys, phone and lunch, they’ll need all the help they can get.
A leather satchel or sophisticated briefcase will sort the problem.
Makeovers
If you are at a loss and not sure what style or colour suits him, then give him a Colour or Style Consultation from Colour Me Beautiful. It's such an easy gift to give and best of all, one size fits all.
