Welcoming the 70's!

Fashion trends for Men in 2011

Some of the new fashion trends for men in 2011 are Velvet Blazers, jackets, pants, Deep Blue colors, Soft Colored Coats, White Pants, Oxford Shoes, Maxi Cardigans, Shiny Suits, and printed Scarves. Business suits are now seen with a splash of color such as cream, dark red, dark brown, or striped grey.

Men have long been wearing safe almost boring clothing styles for so long, it’s time to give the male of our species a choice for his particular fashion sense. The shiny and velvet style of suits this coming 2011 season is so Dandyish, a welcome return of the well dressed and chic urban man.

The Glam Rock star, City Sophisticate and Urban Gentleman has risen again, only this time much more put together and sophisticated! Men have often just about given up on even having any style, now the chic male has returned. Hollywood is no longer just for sighting women celebrity style. Fashion is exciting again for men.

The new cut for men’s suit accents the masculine appeal through three key elements to the silhouette which are broad shoulders, slim trousers, and a slim waist. These cuts would make a military man proud. There are some great looks inspired from the  40’s and 50’s men’s wear styles. Some of these are aviator jackets and boots with shearing, and great coats.

Although men’s clothing is becoming more elegant the new hair styles for men are more disheveled looking. With less structure and imperfection of the cut, men’s hair trends are less groomed looking, more messy, dark, dirtier themes. Men’s hair is a contrast to the elegant clothing shown on the runways.

This new trend in men’s hair could be reflecting the wild, masculine nature of the beast or vampire trends that are taking over the movie and television scene. Chaos with an elegance is the word of the men’s newest fashion trends.

Jewelry for men this season is all about big statements. Chunky pendent paired with large neck chains are so hot now. No more “less is more” when it comes to jewelry trends for men. You’ll see men wearing much more jewelry now.

One of the greatest hurdles in blogging is what to write about. Of late I’ve been maintaining an ideas list. I don’t refer to it regularly because I only want to use it when I REALLY cannot think up something,and here I am with one of those Ideas..yes! shaking things up!

Sometimes life can feel as if you’re spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere. Often, the more you do, the less progress you seem to be making. That’s when you need to find ways to shake up your life, get out of that rut and back on the road to fulfillment, Altering the routine, enhancing productivity. and by productivity I don't mean just that material productivity concerning our jobs, finances or running the errands, but spiritual gain, that sense of fulfillment, that sense of being worthy of something, instead of feeling like a loser.

Often we found ourselves so dangerously addicted to the routines that we are so scared of letting them go, despite being so sure of how badly we dislike them, still we find ourselves reluctant for trying to get out of the rut and give ourselves a new lease of life. So the first question I pose is;

Are you ready to get out of your comfort zone and take a few risks?

Most of our other physical, mental, and emotional disorders are caused or exacerbated by stress as well. And this stress is basically caused by working too hard and taking life too seriously.The two of course go hand in glove. And it’s this sort of insanity that drives people with plenty to want more and better. Where nothing is ever good enough or enough enough. Which is always perception.

Few easy tips to for a change!

1.Maybe you’ve always wanted to run a marathon or drop 10 pounds or write a novel. Now’s the       

   time to do it! Set a goal, make a plan, and start taking small steps to get there. You’ll be amazed    
   at the renewed sense of purpose you’ll feel as you cross off smaller accomplishments on your way  
   to the bigger goal.

2. always drive home the same way? try a new route.

3.  Do something you’ve never done before, learn a skill you find appealing but a little daunting,    
     such as making jewellery, playing a Piano or speaking a different language. Say yes to everything  
      for a day and see where it leads you. Try something you've never tried before but have always been 
      meaning to.  yoga? or may be starting a conversation with a random person in a coffee shop?

4.  Start a blog.

     More into creative writing?  than try writing your blog! If you’re taking a class from a friend, re- 

     decorating your apartment, touring your own town or working towards a goal, document your 

     progress in a blog. Or think of something clever or funny that hasn’t been done yet.

5.   Look for a job you don't dread going to every morning!

6.  go to vacation in some exotic place you have never been too.

7.  call a friend you haven't spoken to for weeks or may be months....and go for a coffee or a dinner    

     togather

8. Try cooking a new cuisine, such as Vietnamese, Lebanese , or Italian.

9. Call your partner just to say "I love you."

10.Call a babysitter to take care of kids and go for a dinner or movie just with your spouse for some           

     quality time togather.
