Believe it or not socks have been around since the stone ages. They were very different from socks as we know them today. They were often made of animal skins that were tied around the ankles.

History of Socks

Believe it or not socks have been around since the stone ages. They were very different from socks as we know them today. They were often made of animal skins that were tied around the ankles.

In Ancient Egypt there is evidence of the existence of knitted socks and by the 8th century BC, the Greek poet Hesiod wrote of paloi – socks made of matted animal hair. They were mostly worn by actors in comedic plays.

During the Middle Ages colored cloth tied around the legs and held up with garters were in popular use. Garters were placed over the top of the sock/stocking to prevent them from falling down. They were mostly worn among the more wealthy.

In the 1490′s, breeches and hosiery were one piece. They later became known as tights. They were made of colorful silks, wools and velvet. Each leg was often a different color. At the turn of the fifteenth century knitted hose was being worn in France and Scotland.

In the 1590′s knitting machines were created. This made the use of knitted hose more common. With the wearing of tunics hose had to be made longer.

In the 17th century the use of cotton became popular in the making of socks. Early Americans also used wool and silk. Poorer people wore woolen hose usually tan in color. The rich on the other hand wore fine silk hosiery and more colors.

During the 19th century knitting mills allowed hose to be made in America. As men’s pants became longer stockings became shorter until the term was changed to sock and replaced the term stocking. The word sock is derived from the Latin word “soccus?which means light covering of the foot. Women to date wear stockings, tights, or socks.

It is easier to prevent wrinkles from occurring on a tie than to remove them. You can follow these simple tips and always have wrinkle-free ties. Roll up the tie loosely while storing it. Do not hang the tie for long periods as this tends to cause a permanent wrinkle in it.

Shopping, Tie, Fashion

It is easier to prevent wrinkles from occurring on a tie than to remove them. You can follow these simple tips and always have wrinkle-free ties.

Roll up the tie loosely while storing it. Do not hang the tie for long periods as this tends to cause a permanent wrinkle in it. To roll a tie, begin by holding the narrow end and then winding up the rest of the tie, with the wide end on the outside. Lay the roll on a flat surface on the coiled side. This will ease out the wrinkles in a few hours, leaving your tie fresh for use again.

Always untangle the tie knot before storing it. If the tie is stored knotted, permanent wrinkles may form. To untie the knot, follow the steps of knot tying in reverse order. Hurriedly untying the knot will mean pulling hard at the tie which can lead to wrinkles.

The tie knot should have the right amount of tightness. Too tight a knot can lead to wrinkles.

Hanging for a few hours will remove the wrinkles that form due to wearing.

You can even roll out a tie in a clean towel and leave it rolled for a day or two. This removes most wrinkles from the tie. After unrolling the tie (from the towel) hang it for a few hours. This combination of rolling and hanging works like a charm with most wrinkles.

You can also lightly iron the tie (without steam) at low temperatures. Hot ironing is not good for ties as it weakens the fabric. Use the appropriate fabric setting for the tie while ironing.

To prevent wrinkles from forming during traveling, loosely roll up the tie and make sure there is enough space in the baggage for the roll, other clothes should not squeeze the roll. If you travel a lot, you should consider investing in a tie case.

For cleaning give the tie to the dry cleaners instead of machine or hand washing the ties. These kinds of washings will put permanent wrinkles on your tie.

Keep a few days space between wearing the same tie. This allows the tie to return to it’s wrinkle-free state.

You can also steam out the wrinkles by hanging the tie in the bathroom during a hot shower, or by holding it over a kettle with steam. You must not allow water to touch the tie though. To dry the tie, roll it up in a clean towel and leave for one day. You will have a wrinkle free tie the next day.

A wrinkled tie never gives out a professional image. Invest in a tie organizer as a storage device and maintain your ties in its wrinkle free environment.

Neck tie has always been an important part of men’s wardrobe.

neck tie tying, instructions neck tie tying, tying neck tie, steps to tying a neck tie

Long time back, neck tie evolved as a direct result of war. In 1660, a regiment from Croatia visited Paris. The soldiers were presented to Louis XIV, a monarch. At that time, the officers of the regiment had worn bright colored fashion handkerchiefs around their neck. These neck cloths which descended from the Roman fascalia worn by orators to warm their vocal chords were soon made sign of royalty as the king made regiment of royal corvettes.

Later, this style crossed to the channel of England and no soon the gentleman found their dressing more decorative with some sort of cloth around their neck. These neck cloths or cravats were worn so that the man could not move his head without turning his whole body. Sometimes these were worn so tight that they stopped sword thrust. Again, neck tie styles knew no bound with scarf’s, tuffs and bows.

Ties became an integral part of a man’s wardrobe and till the time of civil war ties were imported from the continent. In the beginning of 20th century, American neckwear began to rival that of Europe. In 1960′s, however, there was a declination of men wearing ties because of conflict in between tradition and formality of dress. But, in 1970,s the sale of neck tie increased to a great extent.

No other thing in the wardrobe of a man has changed as compared to neck ties. In 1960′s and early 70′s ties grew 5 inches in width and then fat ties came into fashion. The proper width of a neck tie that would never be out of style is 3 ?inches. As long as the proportion of men’s clothing remains true to his body shape, this width will be in proper balance. Many neck ties are cut in width but the section of the tie where knot is made remained thick although.

The relationship of tie knot to the collar of the shirt is considerable and if it is proper then the knot will never be too large so that the collar opens or it is so small that it is lost in the collar.

Fashion, like many other things in history, seems to work in cycles. Bell bottoms came back, afros came back, and the shaggy 70′s look came back left and came back again. The cycle continues in dance wear, and it is apparent when you walk into any hip night club or concert: leotards are making a comeback!

The leotard originally peaked during the days of disco and Fonda in the 1970′s. Today, over 30 years later, the one-piece outfit is popping up in fashion magazines, in concerts, and in vintage boutiques. Leotards are making a comeback on the heels of other 70′s and 80′s apparel like leggings and skinny jeans, and the trend is seemingly being embraced by the masses.

The original leotard first appeared in 1859. Named after the creator, a French aerialist, Jules Leotard, it showed up first during a French flying trapeze performance. The first edition of the garment was a hand-knit jersey that covered him from wrist to ankles. In fact, it was more of a unitard than a true leotard. Stories abound about the revealing nature of the garment drawing as many people as the performance itself, which does not venture that far from the truth of today either.

From ballet artists, to showgirls, to lingerie models, leotards went on to become a part of pop culture through the 1960′s and 1970′s. However, as the late 80′s and 90′s passed, leotards were limited to formal ballet performances and rarely showed up in pop music or the night life of major markets once the hair band era moved on. That is all changing now as the first decade of the 21st century marches toward completion.

The one group who don’t have to be told that leotards are making a comeback is superheroes. Many a comic book hero is dressed in standard leotard and cape attire. In fact, it may be argued that Halloween and the affinity of young boys for super heroes is what kept the leotard industry alive through the last decade.

It is true, leotards are making a comeback. Nearly 20 years since hair bands and unitard costumes went the way of the dodo, the leotard look is coming back with performers, dancers, and clubbers alike. The new trend is finding its way into the pop culture consciousness by being simple, sexy, and vintage. Everything in history goes in cycles, including fashion, so it is no surprise the one piece clothing wonder is back. What’s next, moon boots and parachute pants? Stay tuned since the advancement of the leotard can be seen as an announcement that anything can come back as long as pop stars are willing to put them front and center.

So get used to leotards making a comeback. Whether you choose to participate in the vintage movement or not, it is coming. It has been in and been out and back in again since its 19th century trapeze beginnings, which means that leotards are more timeless than most anything in the fashion spectrum.

Crew neck and v-neck sweaters can comfortably be worn over a t-shirt with jeans for a more casual appearance. These sweaters can also look great with a nice pair of slacks and over a button down shirt, for a professional appearance in the work place or even on a date. These are simply a must for every wardrobe.

Cardigans that are made of cotton, wool or cashmere can be thin enough to wear beneath a jacket. They have a double zipper that allows you to be able to pull it on or off with ease. These are ideal for layering, either over a t-shirt, a button down or beneath a jacket, with jeans, corduroys or dress pants. If you don’t own one already, go out shopping and try one on and see how you like it.

Polo sweaters can easily be found in the summer months. They are made of a light cotton material and have short sleeves. They make a stylish alternative to t-shirts and can keep you cool in the warmer months. They are look great when worn with khakis and would look great at work on casual Fridays.

Turtleneck sweaters is basically reserved for the colder winter months. Turtlenecks fit best when they are more fitted to the body and neck and should not be worn too baggy. A chunky cable knit turtleneck would look great with a nice pair of jeans. Whereas a light weight cashmere or merino wool turtleneck would look exceptionally stylish under dress jackets.

Cashmere sweaters are probably the most luxurious items you can have in your closet. Although wools and cottons share a warm place in the heart of your closet, the ultra soft material of the cashmere sweater can be worn comfortable all year round. If you don’t own one already, then try to make your first cashmere sweater a neutral tone such as black, charcoal or navy, a color that can be worn with just about anything.

Now that you’ve gone shopping and bought a closet full of these irresistible sweaters, here are a few tips on how to take care of them. Any cotton, wool or cashmere should be dry cleaned at least once per season. Although Cashmere and wool can be hand washed with a gentle laundry detergent like Woolite. As a matter of fact, your sweaters will come out feeling more softer by hand washing them then by dry cleaning.

New Fashion Trends Take A Walk On The Wild Side

A quick look inside today’s fashion magazines reveals top designers showing off their animal instincts more and more. From runway to real life, wildlife prints are a fashion “must” and include everything from butterflies to zebra stripes.

In fact, most fashion experts say this season’s hot styles are a mixture of bohemian and wild safari. Tiger and zebra prints, jungle patterns, and tunics with detailed embellishments are a must-have fashion look that anyone can wear. Here are some tips that will help you pull it off:

• Stylists say that wearing safari animal prints, especially leopard, is a great way to add a bold, fashionable edge to your wardrobe.

• If it’s a transformation you’re looking for, the butterfly motif is also taking flight in the fashion industry and can be seen on everything from shoes to hair clips, bags, tops and even gowns. Celebrities are catching on to the craze, as can be seen in the pages of beauty and fashion magazines.

•Butterflies have begun to flutter from fashion into other industries as well. Because butterflies symbolize freedom and the confidence that follows, some brands have selected it as an icon. Most recently, Stayfree?has incorporated a pretty butterfly logo to its fun, aqua-colored Dry Max packaging. So if you’re looking for a way to energize your wardrobe, stylists say to incorporate a butterfly element-whether it’s a handbag, top, scarf or pin.

• The animal trend reaches beyond leopards and butterflies. Fashionistas can expect to see a lot more clothes and accessories featuring animal elements in the coming months.

Other hot trends to keep an eye out for include snakeskin accessories and sleek, African-inspired separates, as well as real and fake fur adorning jackets, sweaters and more. Luxe fabrics like croc and shearling and even fox fur collars were all the rage at recent fashion shows and are expected to hit the racks in the coming months.

When it comes to fashion, it’s a jungle out there. Remember, with these bold safari-style prints and accessories, be careful not to overdo it. Sometimes, less is more.

Leather Blazers

Leather blazers are really inn this season. When you shop for leather items, make sure you learn about the different types of leather that are available, price etc. Hi-fashion leather blazers are available in 2 button & 3-button styles. Different colors of leather used to make stylish blazers are black, brown, olive green, yellow, red, warm toned caramel, cognac, sienna and chocolate brown.

Types of leather
Leather is any tanned, toughened (yet pliable), dried, and dyed skin of an animal. Thanks to modern dyeing processes, most types of leather can be found in nearly any color. Some leathers, however, are best known for particular colors.

Buckskin: Pliable leather with a smooth finish from wild stag (deer, elk or antelope).

Chamois: Leather originally made from the Alpine chamois, a goat-like animal. Nowadays, it’s culled from sheepskin. Chamois is well regarded for its supreme softness, absorbency and light tan color. It is pronounced SHAM-wa, or parochially, SHAM-ee.

Calfskin: Leather from young cows. It’s smoother leather, but it can be roughened to create “velour leather,?or embossed with patterns and other textures. It is considered dressy and is usually found in darker shades (blacks and browns).

Cowhide: Leather from full-grown cows that is used for shoes, boots and jackets. Tough and durable, it can have a smooth or rough finish. You’ll find it in all colors, but mostly shades of brown and black.

Lizard skins: Crocodile, alligator and other lizard skins are usually limited to belts, luggage or shoes. They sport a scaly texture and a nice sheen, and can be had in shades of green, grey, red, and brown.

Pigskin: Pigskin is more commonly used in South America. It has little nap (fuzz) and is generally smooth to the touch and tan in color.

Ostrich:”exotic?leather found on belts or shoes. Ostrich resembles a plucked chicken, and as such, has a “goose bump?appearance.

Suede: Suede is created when the reverse side of calfskin is roughened to the point of extreme softness. The resultant nap almost resembles velvet. Suede goods can be had in all major colors.

Price: A good leather blazer can cost you anything between $250 to $1000. Depending on the quality of the leather, the design and the cut.

Sizes: Leather blazers come in different sizes be it long or short. Men usually wear long ones. Whereas women prefer both long and short.

Tips on how to keep the leather Blazers

- Store your leather jacket either flat or on a wide, sturdy, padded hanger to prevent stretch marks. Make sure to never use a plastic cover.

Take care of the stains pronto. When in doubt take the jacket to the dry cleaner.
