What to Wear By SuitsMen

I have known Mark for many years (sucks teeth while trying to remember when I first met him late at night on a Webmasterworld meet in London), and have always admired the way he has gone about his business.  He has without doubt, the best window blinds   website on the internet, and I have always aspired to his levels of quality, production, and customer service.

So I was very eager to see what he had been up to when he recently launched his new site www.blinds-2go.co.uk 

I really had not realised there was so much to blinds either.  It is no longer a choice of Venetian, Roman or roller, as now you can get blinds specially designed for every room in the house.  If you need something for the bathroom, then now there are specifically waterproof blinds you can buy.

Perhaps you need a black out blind for a childs room?   It need no longer be a boring black, but can now be patterned. I very much doubt you will get the choice in your local curtain shop.

I suspect his new site is doing well, and not just because the country has turned to DIY.

 Have a look, and you will see why.

Winter Suits Some say that there has been an appalling trend lately, even amongst the so-called “upper classes.” That is the trend of adjusting ones entire style of dress to accommodate seasonal changes in the weather. The fact is that in business, or the better sorts of entertainment, a proper suit is the only appropriate and correct attire. A parka may be suitable as outer wear but sweatshirts and denim are not correct for the office or going out. A proper suit of clothes is the only choice.

Winter suits were generally made of wool and in dark colours. They would be completely lined with a sturdy material and sometimes used with a matching waistcoat to keep in the warmth. Waistcoats have fallen out of fashion with the advent of central heating and the adoption of continental style. They are still a good solution to keeping in the heat during cold weather, as they surround what the medical profession refers to as the “core.”

While there is really no good substitute for wool in a winter suit, dark colors could no longer be considered mandatory. Extremely light colours such as khaki are not appropriate to the colder months. Lighter shades of the primary colours are fashionably correct. Patterns and stripes should be, as at any season, subdued. Tweeds and similar patterns are permissible in a country setting but are really not appropriate business or evening wear in the city.

Fashion and fit change with each year just as styles and fabrics change with the seasons. The help of a good and knowledgeable salesperson can be invaluable in the choice of a new suit. The internet is also a good source of information. At our blog www.suitblog.co.uk we are building a wealth of invaluable information and advice as well as a source for the items themselves at www.SuitsMen.co.uk
