The Trends

Penguin Polo shirts are a well-known and highly reputed brand in the garment industry. However, hardly anyone knows how this unique brand was born! Its origin goes back to an underwear factory named Musingswear, Minneapolis in the year 1955. A passionate salesperson is its father, he designed a penguin logo and developed it on a golf shirt and so, was born a new era of style: Penguin Polo Shirt.
Over the time, Penguin has already established its brand name and some newly added inclusions to classic Penguin Polo’s are Penguin Daddy Polo and Penguin Earl Polo Shirt, freshly cut to add to the grace of the classic Penguin style.
Penguin Daddy Polo is made out of 100 percent cotton and is available in two shades: pink and black and is undoubtedly the best suited for today’s men. If you are planning for a men’s night out, nothing could be better than Penguin Jack Polo Shirt a well-cut, deep-collared smart piece in the navy as well as black.

Alternatively, if you want a distinctive style then Penguin Knitted Polo Shirt is unquestionably the piece that would make you stand out of the crowd. All these Original Penguin shirts are available in shades of grey with contrasting button colors.

The Original Penguin Polo Shirt is cut out of traditional cotton with a great deal of emphasis on the detailing. Earl Polo is a contemporary look of the Classic Polo, choice of many celebs these days like Jake Gyllenhaal, David Arquette, DJ Afrojack, and the Arctic Monkeys and of course Paris Hilton.
However, fashion is always been considered as a woman’s field, but Penguin Polo has given an entirely different meaning to men fashion. Penguin Polo shirts can be worn for casuals, sports office, and nightclubs, everywhere!

If you’re getting married this year but have yet to finalise your wedding fashion help is on hand. Here are all the latest wedding fashion trends for gowns and shoes.

Vintage

2012 may sound futuristic, but this hasn’t stopped wedding fashion from looking to the past and more precisely, the Victorian era. This was an era where women wore full-skirted dresses with cinched waists, lots of lace, voile and heavily draping fabrics. It was elegant although a little stoic, but technologically advanced methods were used to create interesting shapes, weaves, folds and pleats. This season’s wedding fashions have been inspired by the entire Victorian era. Full skirts, high necklines, embroidery, lace, pearls and beading create a feminine silhouette and luxe aesthetic that is truly magical.

In terms of shoes, vintage Victoriana displays itself as beaded and bejewelled shoes in nude or understated tones. Next has a perfect pair of bridal shoes in its Nude Jewelled Slingback Peep Toe Court Shoes (pictured). Even the jewel detailing on the front is reminiscent of Victorian style brooches and rings. The heel height isn’t outrageous either and combined with the dusty pink colour makes these ideal bridal shoes.

Nudes and Pastels

Nude and pastel shades add more period features. Light green, lilac, mauve and pink combined with nudes like ivory, cream and white offer subtle contrasts and a feminine look. These shades add yet more elegance and charm and result in a ladylike almost regal aesthetic. Blake Lively as Serena Van Der Woodsen recently showcased this trend effortlessly on an episode of Gossip Girl. She may have only been the bridesmaid but this dress would be good enough for most brides.

Shoe wise this colour trend continues. Colours can however be a little deeper and bolder to add more contrast and interest to the entire outfit. Next’s Nude and Rose Gold Plaited Sandals are stunning and will perfectly complement an ivory, cream, light green or lilac wedding dress.

Details

Oganza, embroidery, lace, appliqué, tuile, folds, drapes, pins, twirls, corsages, petals, floating lace and bustles make wedding dresses unique, delicate, detailed and absolutely stunning this summer. It is these small details that set this season’s dresses apart from those of previous years. However, it’s also these details that increase the price. If you’re on a budget, look for a more simple dress but add accessories with these special details. Next’s Ivory Lace Peep Toe Courts should do the job nicely.

Some men loathe the experience of buying glasses. It is chore-some, boring and frustrating. As you wait in an overly-hot room in your local shopping centre to be patronised by a school-age sales rep, you begin to wonder “do I really need 20:20 vision?”. These doubts are sustained afterwards, as you walk home from the optician’s looking like Austin Powers in jeans. Other men, meanwhile, fully embrace the process and derive a huge amount of satisfaction from searching for – and then finding – that perfect pair of glasses.

Here’s a guide to making sure your choice of glasses makes you feel like Michael Caine in the Ipcress File rather than Elton John in any of the music videos he’s made over the last thirty years.

Step One: Make sure you provide a correct and up-to-date prescription. There is absolutely no point in buying glasses that are ‘just right’ if you are left having to squint and lean forward in order to see things clearly. If you are in doubt, up-to-date means not more than a year old. If you let 12 months lapse between eye tests, you shouldn’t be surprised when your new glasses turn out to be inadequate. Getting this step wrong jeopardises everything that flows from it. Getting it right allows you to focus on the difficult bit – finding glasses that suit you.

Assuming you have successfully passed the first test, you will now be presented with a series of tough decisions, the results of which could have far-reaching consequences for your glasses wearing experience. Make sure you select a style that suits your appearance and fashion sense. If you enjoy going to 80s retro music gigs, then choose glasses with thick black frames and join the growing ranks of the ‘geek chic’ army. Alternatively, you can opt for perfectly round frames. However, if this John Lennon look leaves you cold, then go for the most popular style on the market: the thin framed rectangular glasses (these look particularly good in blue).

It is important to buy glasses that will last longer than a couple of months, so make sure you are buying from a reputable vendor and are getting a good brand.

Before you buy your glasses, try to picture yourself wearing them. Consider the image that you are attempting to cultivate and the look that you are promoting with different styles. Glasses can make a man variously look intelligent, nerdy, artsy, pretentious, or like they are scared of the optician and just bought whichever pair was handed to them first (this is the case for most men). If you put a little thought in beforehand, you can avoid strategic eyewear errors. Look at some photos of famous actors and musicians wearing glasses, and consider how their glasses change their look. If you are really keen to avoid being defined by glasses, then contact lenses are always an option.

If you use an online retailer, you can browse a huge range of products. For those that manage to successfully negotiate the smorgasbord of eyewear decisions, choosing glasses can be a fun and rewarding experience, rather than a necessary, annual chore.

In the last two decades, white gold bands have become increasingly popular and are almost up to par with their yellow gold counterparts in terms of market performance. There are a lot of good reasons for the current popularity of white gold bands and it would be easier to understand this fact if you are in the process of selecting rings in preparation for your wedding day.

For one, the value of white gold bands is lower compared to yellow gold and they are also more durable. As we all know, gold is a malleable metal and they can be easily get scratches and dents when exposed to the pressures of daily activities, both at home and at work. But with white gold bands, the pure gold metal is mixed with alloys and the process will result to the stronger and more durable white gold. In the truest sense of the word, white gold bands are ideal for couples who have a penchant for platinum jewelry but whose budget would not allow.

If you will start looking at jewelry shops, both online and offline, you will see that white gold bands come in many different shapes and styles. Because white gold is typically mixed with metal alloys to achieve the white color, it is highly recommended that you ask what particular alloy is added to make sure that the ring will not cause allergic reactions when you will wear them.

White gold bands offer many benefits like aesthetic appeal, relatively lower price tags and durability that lasts. So if you are still unsure of what beautiful rings would make a perfect reminder of your love and promise to each other during your wedding day, try to go looking for white gold bands to end your search. Surely, you will find that particular design that would match your personality and something that will not hurt your wedding budget.
