How to Be a Well Dressed Man

ZZ Top weren’t kidding when they proclaimed that girls go crazy over a sharp dressed man – it’s true!

No, you don’t have to wear a suit and tie every day to look sharp; there are, however, a few key rules every man should know in order to look his best, no matter the occasion.

  1. Size Matters

It’s true, size DOES matter… when it comes to your clothes fitting! It doesn’t matter what designer label you are wearing or how much those jeans cost if you’re clothing doesn’t fit you well. The well-dressed man knows to choose clothing that accentuates his assets (get your mind out of the gutter, kids!); too-large clothing or clothes that are too tight look bad, and people will notice.

2.  Know your Style

If you’re completely clueless about what looks good on you, enlist the help of an honest friend or relative to give your wardrobe a critical eye. If you know what works and what doesn’t, you can be confident your wardrobe not only reflects your personal style… but reflects it well.

3.  Remember the Details

Even the best-fitting clothes won’t matter if the rest of your appearance looks disorderly. It’s important to remember the details, and focus on your overall appearance – not just one aspect of it. In other words, make sure your clothes look good, but also take care of your hair, your shoes… everything!

By following the previous tips, you can be a well dressed men that the girls really will go crazy over – just add a dash of confidence, and you’re good to go.

Designer Handbags for Less

Designer handbags typically cost an arm and a leg to own; fortunately, there are several retailers that offer designer handbags at a fraction of their normal price. While they are still not “cheap” by most standards, if you’re dieing to own the latest Fendi or Betsey Johnson handbag, it may be worth it to check out these fabulous finds.

eFashionHouse  are known for carrying a large selection of discount designer handbags for much less than retail price. For example, check out this Betsey Johnson tote; at $40, you are saving over 30% off the retail price. How can you go wrong with that? Alternatively, you could go for this Donna Karna hobo-style purse; at $59, you’re saving 26%.

While Bluefly carries an extensive collection of designer duds at discount prices, their handbag selection seems to be the most comprehensive. While you are still going to pay a pretty penny for most of the handbags here, you can usually nab a designer handbag at substantial savings. Grab the latest Kenneth Cole spring tote for 40% off retail price; it’s bold red color really pops.

At $117 dollars, this Stuart Weitzman leopard cosmetic case seems a bit pricey, but when you consider the 40% savings, you may decide it’s worth it to invest in this designer bag!

Handbag Crew also offers a superior collection of designer handbags for less, with bags from such designers as Prada, Fendi  and Burberry.
