CONTEST SELAMAT HARI GURU, CIKGU!
The Power of White Shirt
Every guy has, or should have (MUST HAVE!), at least one white button-up shirt in his closet. Assuming that this wardrobe staple is indeed hanging in your closet, it’s fair to say that it’s likely on heavy rotation. Despite wearing this classic frequently, it’s easy to fall into a style rut by continually pairing one of the most versatile pieces in your closet with other essentials like dress pants in neutral colors or denim. With the recession in full swing, however, now is the time to consider the extra mileage you can get out of your dependable dress shirt. To help you shop your closet and create new looks with a shirt you already own, I’ve put together a list of six suggestions that are affordable, on-trend and will instantly revive your wardrobe.
A Cardigan In An Unexpected Hue
Stray from black, gray and navy and sneak some color into your wardrobe with a cardigan in an attention-grabbing color like forest green, bright blue or a pastel during the warmer months. If you’re stylistically daring, consider shades like yellow as well, and remember that you can get away with brighter, more outrageous colors the darker your skin tone is.Alternatively, if you’re wary of brights, try out a universally flattering neutral shade men don’t often wear -- camel. Wear your cardigan of choice as you would a blazer -- because sweaters are a lot cheaper, you can buy them in a few different colors and you’ll always appear to have a new look.
A Striped Blazer
Break out of your usual style routine by donning a striped blazer. A knock-out choice, particularly in the summer, a striped blazer will lend a chic, nautical feel to your ensembles. Plus, though a patterned blazer is unexpected and will shake up your look, stripes are a fairly conservative pattern, especially when you paired with a white dress shirt, meaning you won’t have to relegate this blazer to after-hours duty only. For a blazer that will pair equally well with just about everything your typical navy or black blazer would, try this gray and white cotton model from Gap. For more laid-back days, consider swapping your striped blazer for a patterned hoodie to funk up your basic white dress shirt and achieve a casual-cool look.
Shorts
When you have a smart-casual occasion to dress up for in summer, well Malaysia is a hot country in fact, so try mixing your white dress shirt with shorts. It can be just as impressive as wearing dress pants, but it’s more eye-catching and you won’t feel as stuffy. Much like the cardigan, the major benefit of shorts is that they are inexpensive and can be paired with many other items in your closet. Make sure you seek out a tailored, unadorned pair, steering clear of anything with a pattern or a drawstring. These shorts from Theory are the perfect option as their hook and bar closure, angled side pockets, button-close rear pockets, and contemporary fit give them the same polished appeal you would expect from high-quality dress pants. Keep your outfit elegant by skipping the sneakers and pairing them instead with sleek leather sandals. (Or gladiators!! Argghh!! Cool gilaa!!^_^)
A white dress shirt may be a basic, but when teamed with matching pants to create a head-to-toe white ensemble, it becomes incredibly refined. To get this look right, you want to find white pants in a lightweight material. Spend enough so that the fabric isn’t transparent and the cut is right for your body, but don’t splash out so much that you’ll ruin your fun if you spill a bit of tomato sauce or wine on yourself. An easy-to-clean cotton pants or maybe a pair of linen that feature clean lines and a modern fit with a hint of stretch fabric for comfort would help. For a swish night out, keep the all-white themes going by adding a white blazer to your outfit. During the day, brightly colored sunglasses give white a quirky-cool twist.
Bow Tie
A bow tie complementing your white shirt in casual clothing is a bold and trendy choice! Wear a classic black or dark blue bow tie, a white shirt, dark colored trousers (could even be jeans) and a stylish jacket or buttoned vest. Or go with a really fun and noticeable bow tie to wear with jeans and a cardigan thrown on. (Without cardigan pun boleh…^_^)
Blue jeans combined with a white shirt. It’s a classic outfit for guys, simple and stylish. Wear with leather shoes and a classic belt, shirt tucked in, when you’re going for a smart casual look. Match with sneakers and a casual belt – or go beltless – when you feel like dressing casual and comfortable.
When it comes to fashion, we’re so trained to desire something new that we forget what’s already at our disposal. I’ve listed six inexpensive ways you can breathe new life into a shirt that’s already in your closet, but many more abound. If you don’t have any of the items listed here, or you don’t have the cash to acquire them, try picking up cheap accessories from a discount store, such as a pair of pale sunglasses. Cuff your denim and don some high tops for a budget-conscious retro-cool, ‘50s throwback. Give it a little thought and you’ll soon realize that your closet is full of exciting, novel possibilities.

SPRING/SUMMER 2011: THE CLOTHING TRENDS
To get your wardrobe ready for Spring/Summer, here is a quick overview of the trends for Spring/ Summer 2011!
’70s glamour
There are two main aesthetics: ’70s bohemian, and ’70s sophisticated glamour. When it comes to the latter, think dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day.
Biker chic
For this trend we see lots of motorcycle jackets, leather pants and motorcycle boots to give you that bit of extra edginess.
Punk fashion
Think safety pins, studs and leather. Nice to have some statement pieces to combine with a simple outfit.
Lace
No, it’s not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has evolved. Lace influences for Spring/Summer 2011 are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. Less of the allover, stretch lace and more of the unique takes.
Flared legs and bell bottoms are the new style pants. Great in a jeans version also!
Macrame
A macrame dress is ideal for layering over a bikini, monokini or bodysuit. We see lots of macrame accessories as well, I must say that I love it!
Good, I hope this short summary will give you some more inspiration for your own Spring/Summer 2011 wardrobe!^_^

Wear high heels painlessly, with full confidence!
Follow these simple tips to be able to wear comfortable and painless heels:
- When it comes to wearing high heels, it is all about putting on the right size. Make sure you pick up the right shoes. A very common mistake that most people do is picking out the wrong shoe size. Before you buy the shoes, wear them on and walk. But them only if you are comfortable.
- If you feel any discomfort, check for the source of pain. Put on your shoes and walk around, observe where it hurts the most. Identify the place where you are having the problem.
- Spot the area where it hurts. Usually, ball of the foot is the most common place where it hurts. For this, you can take gel inserts and put them in your shoes. If you don’t find them to be helpful, double up the gel inserts.
- If the back of your heel is troubling you, then you will have to put on heel cushions. All you need is to place these cushions at places where it hurts. If the cushions don’t help, you might need to stretch out your heel with a shoetree.
- If your arch is not supported properly, you can get arch supports and neatly stick them in your shoe heels. However, arch supports generally look a little ugly. Choose supports which are not visible through your heels.
These simple tips will help you to wear heels comfortably and painlessly.

Spring/Summer Footwear Trend: Gladiator Sandals
Introduction
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; or more appropriately, your eyes. I bring to you a debate of epic proportions – the gladiator sandal and its presence on our feet.
Men and women have adorned the gladiator sandal, in its simplest form, before records began. Notables such as Julius Caesar, Pythagoras and even Jesus himself sporting the trend – dapper fellas. Fast-forward 2000 years and the gladiator sandal has re-emerged, albeit undoubtedly more popular with the females then us warriors of the wardrobe.
As is the norm with many modern fashion trends, gladiator sandals transcended genders and appeared last summer in what can only be described as a ‘minor trend’. However, with the summer fast approaching this year could well be time for the gladiator sandal.
Gladiator Sandals Lookbook
How to Wear
- Leave the socks in their draw. Socks and sandals are almost always an incomprehensible mix – to a similar effect of badly coordinated double denim.
- Wear the garment and not the other way around. If you are self-conscious about donning something such as gladiator sandals, leave them on the shelf in the store. Your reservations will undoubtedly show up and draw attention to your discomfort in wearing them. You will do nothing but leave what was originally a well put-together outfit looking a former shadow of its once stylish self.
- No overgrown toenails or un-kept feet please. Grooming shouldn’t be too alien to most I’d hope. If your phalanges are going to be on show lets have them looking tip-top; that goes for the rest of your exposed foot as well. Moisturise, clip and even polish if you feel it’s needing; I’m talking clear gloss here not red, pink or black.
FashionBeans Lookbook
Basics dusted off, (but by no means re-shelved) we can look in to putting together the type of look that will carry you and your gladiator attire through SS11.
One of the key strong points of bringing gladiator sandals in to your wardrobe is their ability to tie in with the urban bohemia trend. The past-season success of this trend means a lot of your wardrobe will pair exceptionally well with your new foot attire. Think structured blazers, neckerchiefs, chambray, linen, stripes and floral.
Look 1
Literally tailor a look around your sandals. When in your figurative Rome, be on trend with the ‘soft tailoring’ look. Linen is an absolute essential with this trend.
Accessorise appropriately with a pocket square, satchel or holdall and belt.
Look 2
Make use of those denim shorts and create a more casual vibe. Pair with a graphic tee and accessorise with leather cuffs and a straw trilby for that relaxed leisure look. Alternatively, use a preppy fit polo or check shirt and most definitely don’t be afraid to throw in some colour!
Look 3
Get really fashion-forward with a set of modern flares or boot cuts. Turn them up ever so slightly to show off your gladiators. Match your belt to your sandals, tuck-in your shirt any which way you like and grab a new season holdall for those additional details; which we all know are so crucial.
Gladiator Sandals
Conclusion
During the warmer months you’d be hard pressed not to notice the number of flip-flops, sandals and other toe baring footwear that the male population embrace. Gladiator sandals have yet to join any such list of what would be classed as the norm, and are likely to be met with a few questioning glances. Fashion however is no stranger to controversy; in fact it embraces it and swallows it whole.
Have your Say
Gladiator sorts will not appeal to everyone’s taste. Hopefully you’ll all have an opinion and as always we’d love to hear it in the comments below.
- Would they be best left to our female counterparts? Or even more drastically back in year 0 and ancient Rome?
- Are you on the other side of the fence and already own a pair? Or possibly purchasing a pair?
- What looks would you suggest? Are there any other trends or looks that you think these would look great with?
