Trousers & Shorts

Shorts also don’t have to be confined to holidays, there are some fab styles such as tailored shorts that sit just above or below, these look great with shirts and t-shirts and boat shoes for a smarter summer look.

Shorts

Shirts, T-shirts & Vests

You always need options for summer and a good collection of the above will make sure you are covered for summer fashion, plain t-shirts in neutral colours make a great base for any wardrobe, the look great on their own or with this year’s hot check shirt trend.

Festival Goers

With music festivals under full flow at the moment it’s pretty hard to get t shirts in bulk as most companies are having low stock issues. Festivals must use hundreds of thousands of cheap t shirts for promotional clothing. T shirt printing is so easy now that companies can just buy in bulk for a lower cost price.

There’s usually around 5-7 designs per band and then around 4 sizes that’s 20 t shirts before you start getting multiples of sizes and designs. T he t shirts can vary in price greatly from £20 to £40. Which probably isn’t bad to say the t shirts only because a few pounds each?

If they printed as they required then it would probably allow for more of a flow through the smaller suppliers.

Designer Bargains Online

Paddy — Sun, 30 May 2010 13:06:24 +0000

Many of us love to have a designer item or two in our wardrobes, but there are always times when our bank balances tell us to opt for some with a lower price tag. In these cases we turn to the internet, looking to pick up that bargain designer handbag or shoes at a much lower price that we would pay in a boutique.

When purchasing online it is essential that you check you are buying from an authorised retailer. Designer menswear labels are frequently targeted by counterfeiters, so there is always a danger that you may end up with a poor copy of the coveted item. Sticking with an authorised retailer may pay-off during the sales, when some items may be reduced by as much as 75%.

Thousands of designer items are purchased every week from online auction sites. When buying from an auction site it is essential to obtain as much information as possible from the seller. Ensure you know if the item is used or new, and if the seller has a website. Always look at the feedback the seller has received from other purchasers. This will tell you if that seller has a record of selling good quality products.

If you are in a situation where a brand new designer item is beyond your financial reach, then buying second-hand items is a good idea. Classic designer items like shirts, jeans and t-shirts can remain in style for several years. Many will use internet auction sites to buy used items and with careful bidding you may be able to pick up a bargain.

Smart for summer

When summer comes some men move into their casual clothing with baggy shorts, jeans, t-shirts and vest top, but what do you do if those looks that are in men’s fashion are too casual for your liking. You may not want to look like your heading to the beach when you go out during the day and certainly don’t want to look like you have come from the beach on a night out.

Well there are some styles that stay in no matter what fashion takes, those classic style fit for any occasion, most of these styles transit well from autumn/winter to spring/summer by keeping similar tailoring and fit but using lighter summer materials.

Shirts are always good no matter what time of year it is and many new styles that are coming out are ideal for summer because they are made from a lighter more breathable cotton, ditch the black favoured in winter and instead opt for a crisp white shirt or pale blue for a smart summer look perfect with smart jeans. For an evening look, funk it up by adding a waistcoat instead of a jacket and a cool trilby hat.

Smart tops

Polo shirts are also a popular choice because the collar gives of a smarter look but still keep you cool, you can keep a look tidy with smart polo shirts and t-shirts by adding a cardigan or light jacket. If the heavy shoes/boots that you have been accustomed to wearing over winter are just a bit too hot for summer opt for a smart plimsoll lighter than shoes but less casual than trainers or flip-flops!

Jeans

And last but not least do forget to add a couple or smart accessories so if the sun is shining put on a pair of stylish aviator sunglasses!
