Hand in Your Pocket

It is so easy to lose things you put in your pocket. Sometimes we don’t remember what we even put inside our pockets. We take out the weirdest things from our pockets – stones, candies, pieces of paper, cufflinks, etc. The pocket is just one place that is difficult to organize because there are no compartments and you can’t really see what’s inside – you just rely on your sense of touch. Then when you travel and empty your pockets onto the hotel side tables, there is just no way of keeping track of the contents of your pocket.

This leather travel valet is the solution to organizing your pockets especially when you travel a lot, and it makes for a unique men’s gift idea. You can put your keys, coins, and all the other contents of your pocket in this leather valet so you will never lose anything that you put in your pocket.

The four corners snap into place so you have a neat container for the small things you carry with you when you travel. Then it can be unsnapped so that it’s flat when you store it in your traveling case and it doesn’t take up much space. It can also be used in the car. It’s quite uncomfortable to have stuff in your pockets while driving but it’s also easy to lose things if you just empty your pockets on the dashboard or on the cup holders. This valet will help organize your belongings. It is also made of leather so it has that sleek look. Now it’s easier to track the small things in your pocket – no need to worry about finding things.

Looking Good Has Never Been This Easy

There is a general notion that only women are concerned about their looks and actually take time to look good. But of course, women also want their men to look good; and looking good takes time and effort, most of the time it’s only about grooming. Nothing beats a clean-shaven, well-groomed look.

This male grooming set is the perfect gift for the man who wants to be at his best all the time. It has everything a man needs to always have that boy-next-door look. It has a nail cutter, which is a must – men always have to have short nails. It also comes with a pair of small scissors for cutting unwanted hair – we wouldn’t want to see things sticking out from some nooks and crannies.

This 10-piece set will be the traveling man’s partner. I’m sure James Bond had all the help he could get, and this grooming set might as well have been part of his traveling set. The sleek leather casing makes it inconspicuous as well, especially if the man wants to be mysterious about his grooming secrets.

Sometimes there are men that you think would look better if they had better grooming. But of course, you can’t just come up to them and tell that to their face. This is the perfect way to do it. Give them this male grooming (rather than the usual cufflink gift) set and that will give them an idea on how to better groom themselves.

Just a hint for all the men out there: if you want to look good, nothing beats good grooming.

A Guy Like My Dad…

Thankfully, there are still gentlemen out there who will hold the door for a lady, offer their seat and display exemplary manners at every occasion. No, this is not fiction, these men have the kind of old world charm that is rare enough these days but I am exceedingly optimistic that it’s making a comeback. Many of us would count our fathers and grandfathers in this league.
A man as gracious as this should be treated with the same respect he shows to family, friends and strangers alike. No doubt his personal style of dress could range from the casual cardigan granddad to the dapper dad who is in professional attire during the week and likes to take it up a notch for special events. The conservative cufflinks range has a design to suit them all. These design pieces have simple, elegant lines and classic colors, such as the black onyx pair. You can be sure they will be worn and appreciated by these special gentlemen and will make the statement about them that they are too humble to express themselves.
I am raising two boys and hope to instill these characteristics so one day they will wear stylish cufflinks like these with a handsome suit and hold the door for the person behind them. A touch of class is simple to achieve, it comes from the inside but can be defined on the outside.

Flower Power In Pink

Pink has always been a very controversial color, and it hasn’t changed until now. Remember those “real men wear pink” shirts? They were perhaps designed at a time when the color pink is gaining popularity, not just from the female contingents. While it has been always associated with the female gender, a man who wears pink is considered cool and comfortable with his feminine side. Over the years the traditional color assignments for boys (blue) and girls (pink) are no longer relevant, or at least have lost much of its acceptance. Girl babies can be seen normally wearing blue dresses, black pants, and any color in between. Similarly, boys can use any color they want, including pink, orange, red, and their masculinities are not questioned. In fact, many times, color has not been an insight on the way a person thinks. But when it comes to pink flower power cufflinks, not many men can get away with wearing it without being controversial. With its very dainty design, those are unmistakable Manila Water. Perhaps, men can choose a less controversial pair of cufflinks if they don’t want to be subjected to the rumors in the office or in town. Anyway, it is so easy to shop for cufflinks by color so men can always pick one that will be more appropriate for their stature in life, and their personality. Cufflinks have always bought a little extra something anywhere and whoever wears this pink cufflinks will be sure to attract some attention – whether good or bad!

Unforgettable Cufflinks for an Unforgettable Wedding

A wedding is always a very special day, not only for the bride and groom, but for all the guests and participants in the wedding. And while there are millions of people getting wed every single day, we always want to put a little something, a little pizzazz to our own weddings. Weddings are also a means to say “thank you” to everyone we have known for the past years, and who have helped us in our journey towards the path of marriage. That is why we all go out of our way to make the event memorable to everyone who will witness it. Many times, token gifts are given to members of the entourage, not only because they took their time out to be a part of the wedding, but also because, they are somehow dear friends and relatives who have been with us in our lives. One such very unique and novel gift is a pair of wedding cufflinks for the members of the entourage. There is a piece for every member of the entourage, and if you are a groom to be, you immediately score high points with your bride’s father with a “father of the bride” cufflink! A wedding cufflink is practical, yet sentimental. Fashionable and serves a function. And when your best man wears the cufflinks to work or to some other formal function, he will always remember your wedding with fondness. Perhaps, you can even reuse the cufflinks! Not for your own wedding, of course, but for another man’s. Why not?

First Date Advice

On your first date, always underdress. Jeans, sneakers or sandals, a nice button-down or polo shirt, maybe a vest or a well-cut leather jacket. The key is to appear cool and collected, yet comfortable enough that the rest of the date does not have the high standards of an anniversary dinner. Remember, first dates are like introductions – no need to raise your potential partner’s expectations higher than you can reach for a second or third date. You are setting the stage for the rest of the relationship, so it is best to be relaxed at the beginning. So can the suit or silk shirt and slip into denim and cotton. The best thing to do is to keep it as real and honest as possible while still being clean and attractive. After all, if your first impression is of a slob, that is not any more appealing than someone who takes himself too seriously.

Fashion Tip Of the Day

Skinny jeans and baggy jeans do not work on teenagers. What made you think they would work for you? Classic straight-leg or boot-cut jeans with the waist sitting comfortably on your, well, waist just below or right at the navel – that is the cut of jeans or slacks that you want to look for. Look for darker rather than light washes because darker colors tend to look slimming. If you get the hem at just the right place (or get them tailored to the right hem), you can set off the shape and length of your leg without going skinny. Just as trousers with tapered legs thankfully went out of fashion, one can only wait for skinny jeans for men to leave their off-balance lack of style as quickly as they came. And baggy jeans flatter no one – why do you want to look like you have a sagging ass? Easy tip: if someone tries to pants you and they succeed, you are wearing the wrong jeans.

It doesn’t hurt to ask for help

So you walk into a department or boutique store and have no idea where to start. It would be too easy to just get a package filled with shirts, buy three of the same pants your size in different colors, purchase them, and leave within five minutes. But that is no way to assert yourself. If you want class, you have got to work for it like most things in life. If you are not sure what to do, don’t feel bad about asking a sales associate. I know that men have historically had issue with asking for directions, but that kind of thinking leads to The Hills Have Eyes. If you do not want to have the sartorial equivalent of radiation-poisoned monsters, ask for help. And be sure not to pick the sales associate who mixes plaid with polka dots – make sure you like what he is wearing first.

Fashion Show Extravaganza

If you truly want to be fashion forward, acknowledge that fashion is not just for women and watch a fashion show catered to men. It may be filled with the wild and wacky that people would not be caught dead in outside the catwalk, but there are moments when you can see potential. Above all, everything you will see in a fashion show is the cutting edge – look for common, ahem, threads between the various cuts and designs to see the kinds of things that are in for the season. If you take that and run with it in your boutique or department stores, you can be ahead of the game and setting the pace in your office or among your circle of friends. Just please, for the love of God, don’t wear the feathered headdress. Show some discernment, initiative, and individuality in what you are willing to put on your body.
