Our appearance is obviously very much affected by the clothes that we are wearing. So far I shared some fashion tips for bulky and skinny men. Today, I thought of sharing some of fashion tips for shorter man.

• A Proper Fit is the Key

Above all, it's important that your clothes fit well. Looser garments can make you look stumpy, so opt for a fit that is trim rather than baggy.

• Wear just One Color

So remember to wear a shirt and pants in the same color, which will prevent obvious breaks in your natural frame, and as a result can produce the illusion of height you want!

• Opt for Dark Shades and Light Fabrics

You probably might not know, dark color , especially black, tend to have a slimming effect, and help shorter men seem more elongated. Same goes to light or medium weight fabrics. Heavy fabrics, tend to make you look bulkier and shorter.

• Vertical Stripes

Again and again, vertical stripes apply to shorter man as well. So any shirts, sweater, pants, that elongates your heights is good thing.

• Opt for Square-toed Dress Shoes

Don't be surprise that shoes do make a different. So if you are short person, square-toe shoes are the best for you. Never thought of pointy-toe shoes anymore, this kind of shoes only work well to taller men.

• Wear Heels on your Dress Shoes

This is the simplest and direct method to increase height

• Avoid Big Prints

On smaller bodies, giant prints will overwhelm. So please keep those prints proportionate to your body.

So remember, there are always some ways out even if you are short. As long as you got the right fashion match, you are still able to dress with styles.

Lastly, all these tips not only applies to men, it also applicable to lady.

Man Fashion: How often Man Shop?

How often you do your shopping? Once a week, once a fortnight, once a month or once in every quarter? Why I asked this question is because according to some research, most men don’t like to go shopping.

Rather, we go buying. Men analyze the situation, determine the objective, plot a strategy, implement the tactics and score. In short, men handle “shopping” the way a military Black Ops team handles a situation. Get in, Obtain Objective, Gone (GOOG).

So is this apply to you? and what kind of items that you prefer shop and what kind of items that you will buy. In fact, this do apply to me sometimes, especially with pressure with time! Nevertheless, I do enjoy shopping, and make it a habit to shop at least once a month. :)

Man Fashion: Sexy and Fun Underwear

It is hard for some to imagine a necessity like underwear as a source of fun. In fact, for some, it is the only barrier to fun and often more of a nuisance than anything else is. However, the world has imaginative people who make underwear more than just an item in the closet and take them beyond the mundane to make them fun.

Fun underwear is essentially meant for erotic purposes. They are the kind of things that will make people laugh out loud and then get into bed, preferably with the person wearing the underwear. They are designed to be arousingly minimalistic yet tastefully humorous like a smiley covering the crotch with a g-string to hold it in place. Most people will spend a fortune on fun underwear to assure that their desires are fulfilled. However, that is not all what fun underwear is meant for. The theory beyond them goes a lot deeper.

Undergarments have come to represent our moral values and people who do not wear them are often seen as liberationists. At some level or the other, underwear is a form of sexual repression, allowing people to hide away their genitals and all the feeling associated with them behind a piece of cloth. It is a way to control sexuality. Thus, with the concept of fun underwear, the aim is to make the private parts of the human body less private and more approachable in the psychological and physical sense. When they are covered in leopard print or with Elvis' face, the penis and vagina are no longer intimidating, they are just like any other part of the body and sexual partners and people themselves begin to feel comfortable at their sight.

In this view, fun underwear is sort of an ego-booster, which tells allows the wearer to be funny with sexual contact. It removes a lot of the pressure surrounding performance and works as a fetish as well. Fun underwear was created to allow people to return to their instinctive sexual state without having to worry about taboo or restriction.

So who says guys can’t have sexy and fun underwear? There is more to choose from than plain briefs or boxers and wearing something sexy and fun is a great way to express yourself discretely.

Man Fashion: Eco-Friendly Shoes

Shoes made from leather, fur, and other animal skins are believed to be trendy in the eyes of many today. But the growing conscious of eco friendliness has made people to turn towards a new way of Vegan life. Vegans do not use any product made from animals in their food. This virtue is reflected in the footwear field as well. Now, Nike, the popular American manufacturing company for athletic shoes and other equipments, has come up with a new product, a basket ball shoe with the name Nike Trash Talk. The best part of this shoe is that it is claimed to be the first basket ball shoe that is made from manufacturing waste. The Nike Trash Talk is manufactured from waste leather, waste synthetic materials, and other substances available on the factory floor. The upper part is made from waste leather and synthetic materials which are fixed together with zigzag stitches. The middle sole of the shoe uses scrap-ground foam from factory production. The outer sole of the shoe uses eco friendly rubber materials, and other manufacturing waste from Nike Grind.



Nike Grind is a recycling program, in which Nike collects worn out athletic shoes of any brand, and recycles them into reusable material. The shoe laces and sock liners are made from eco friendly materials. To make the mission perfect in all the ways, the shoe will also be packed in a cardboard shoe packing box which will be made only out of recycled materials. This shoe is believed to have met with the desired design standards of Nike. Promotion of this shoe was done by evergreen basket ball star Steve Nash. He first wore this shoe during a basketball game on the Valentines Day. Nash is himself known to be an eco-friendly person and thus was a right choice to promote a Vegan product. This shoe made from 100 percent trash is priced around $100 USD. It is claimed by Nike to exhibit a good on court presentation as performance footwear.

Man Fashion: Fat and Thin Women

I just picked this up in one of the comment from style.com, it read like this "Men couldn't care less: we just want them young and thin. We'd rather have sex with an unemployed brain-dead model than a brilliant, wealthy woman who happens to be fat". The reason I picked this up was because the comment really puzzle me for a while. I think most of the man do prefer young and thin women (correct me if I am wrong), but on the other hand, we do look into women's internal beauty as well. Otherwise, there would be so many people married with fat women! :D

So I just want you to share your thoughts whether you agreed on bellingman view?

Man Fashion: 8 Fashion Tips for Skinny Men

Alright, after my earlier post on fashion tips for bulky man, some of you might wonder whether is there any tips for skinny man, especially if you are skinny as well as tall. So after some researches, here are some of the simple tips for the tall and skinny man.



Choose Fitted Shirts
Loose fitting, un-tucked shirts will billow around you and make you look the mainsail on a mast. So make sure to choose something fitted. On the other hand, you should avoid extreme tight shirts because they will accentuate your bony upper half.



Avoid Monochromatic Looks
If you wear a solid color from head to toe, you will seem even thinner than you are. So break up your look by wearing few different colors in your outfit



Select Lighter Color
Lighter colors will make you appear slightly larger, so choose white, creams, light gray, light blue to visually bulk you up a bit.



Don't Wear vertical Stripes
As in my earlier article, vertical stripes only suitable for bulky person, if you are skinny, vertical stripes will make you even thinner.



Round-Toed Shoes
Alright, what round-toed shoes got to do with this? If you are really tall, round toe shoes will make you look disproportionate. So go for square-toed or pointy shoes in order to balance out your shape.



Skinny Jeans
Stay away from this kind of jeans. You pants should have a classic cut and should remain simple. A straight cut or boot cut jeans with long inseam will also flatter your best.



Short Jackets
Make sure all your jackets fall right under your buttocks. A shorter jacket will emphasis your height as well as your skinny waist, arms and legs.



Other Tip:
To avoid looking like a lollipop, don't wear blazers or jackets with big shoulder pads.
