The first thing to do is go online, to retailers such as One Stop Plus (www.onestopplus.co.uk/), as there give much more choice than you would have on the high street. What’s more, with specialist plus size retailers, you know that they are designing clothes to fit you rather than just sizing up their usual range. By going online you know you can get the best range to suit your needs and tastes, and there is no traipsing round the shops trying to find what you want.

If you are shopping online make sure you know what your size is; make sure you measure yourself or at least a set of clothes that fit well so you know what size to order.

It is also really important to know what suits you – some people may be able to carry off one style of jeans but they may not suit you. Therefore, it is really important to wear what makes you look good no matter what is in style.

However, just because you are plus sized doesn’t mean you can’t look good or still follow fashion – instead, if you find the right retailer, you can still look really fashionable whatever your size. That is where shops like One Stop Plus come into play, as they offer a range of fashionable plus size clothing from a number of different shops so you don’t even have to go searching all over the internet.

New research from Mintel has found that 20 per cent of men are now plus sized but 46 per cent of those are unhappy with the lack of retailers providing sufficient choice of sizes, while six per cent of men admit that they struggle to find retailers that sell fashionable clothing in their size. So if you are a plus size man how can you find the best clothes for you?

- For Spring & Summer

* Color

Men’s clothing for the spring & summer season has made its mark with the presence of color. There is a strong blue influence which replicates David Hockney paintings during his splash period in the 1960s, and the introduction of pink.

Men’s fashion is having a pink moment in 2008, therefore, defining your masculinity has become more of a challenge this summer. This not-so-typical color sorts the men from the boys, as it takes guts and skill to wear; requiring men to make a modern color statement whilst still maintaining a masculine edge. This can be done by keeping cuts and fabrics very traditional and teaming it with neutral shades, such as white, beige, gray or black.

In addition to being “In the Pink”, the fashion industry is also feeling blue this season. Not the dark navy kind, but the azure blue of David Hockney’s Splash, pool paintings. From Louis Vuitton’s head-to-toe azure Moon Beach collection, on the spring runways to Hockney-inspired Missoni shirts, Hockneyed-Splash sweatshirts, to azure-colored cargo pants and suits. Feeling blue has never been so on-trend.

* Style

In this season, men to wear a dress shirt with a tie for business is suitable for almost all circumstances. In some offices, or outdoor work sites, short sleeves may be appropriate. Look at the example set by your supervisor and respected colleagues. If these people wear short sleeves, then it may be okay in that situation…

When dressing to impress, do not follow the standard of the office non-conformist. Sleeves can always be rolled up if necessary.

Collars come in different styles, usually a normal pointed collar and a spread collar. Spread collars are newer and show a contemporary fashion. The spread accents the tie, and therefore look better with a wider tie. Some shirts have different color collars than the shirt which appears bolder.

Men’s Hoodies make a welcome return as they have been reinvented to form an integral part of your wardrobe rather than a casual cover-up. With some innovative styling this season, hoodies have evolved to become a substitute for a blazer or cardigan, matching your ensemble and being classy enough to take you from beach to bar. Hoodies have become sophisticated enough to be street-savvy garments, layer them over a tee or shirt, or be more adventurous and go for a Juicy Couture hooded leather jacket or an OntFront Sidewalk Tailoring hooded blazer.

On the subject of swimming pools, another look du jour is the combination of trunks as shorts. Wear them as both; saving you that fashion dilemma of having to wear shorts over trunks. Offerings come from labels such as Thom Browne, ADAM, Opening Ceremony, and Shipley & Halmos who have pairs that can be easily teamed with a more formal shirt or blazer.

This is also the season of the lightweight-knit, be it revamped hoody or button-up cardigan. Men also have one less choice to make when it comes to swimming, by throwing on a pair of combi shorts and trunks.

* Men’s Fashion Accessories

Underwears – In the 13th century underwear became an important piece of apparel, and like most fashions, the thong and g-string reappeared in the 1970s on the beaches of Brazil. Unlike the Khoisans of 75,000 years ago, today’s male consumers enjoy a vast array of styles, fabrics and colours to choose from. The evolution of underwear has shaped how we feel and how we look today.

Aside from the above, sitting poolside requires some additional accessories. Nautical caps and deck shoes are right on-trend, so are blue and white manbags. Accessorize your outfit with some fashion-forward, round-saucer shades — David Hockney-inspired eyewear or John Lennon frames.

* Special Tips for Men who has a Big Stomach

- Go for light fabrics and dark colors if you want to slimline your torso.

- Use a belt to nip in your waistline. As long as your stomach does not hang over, contrary to what you might think, this will make you appear slimmer.

- For an instant slimming effect, go monochromatic. Wear a dark color shirt/top and pants with a different color blazer or jacket over the top.

- Horizontal stripes are your enemy rather than your friend. Vertical stripes (although not too wide) will elongate your body, but diagonal ones will also draw attention to your torso, having a widening effect. Pinstripe shirts can be slimming, especially when teamed with dark color pants.

- Large, busy prints in shirts and tees will only serve to accentuate your stomach. According to The Style Bible, look for a smaller (but not too small) print, which is spaced quite a way apart.

- Avoid bulky knits and go for something more slimming like a dark-colored cashmere sweater.

- Long-sleeve T-shirts and shirts will make your body look more proportioned than sleeveless or short-sleeves, which will draw attention to your middle.

- For Fall & Winter

Fall is one of the most exciting seasons for men’s fashion in that it presents a great deal of variety – the cooling weather and tendency towards warmer and more classic colours can present a challenge that we’ll have to examine in order to find a wardrobe that fits the change of seasons.

Color

Traditionally, an eye for colour will benefit any gentleman concerned with style. In Fall 2009, look for browns, blues, and especially shades of orange – orange having made a surprise comeback in recent years that shows no sign of stopping in the near future. When matching colours, remember that most blues, especially lighter to medium hues such as baby blue or french blue, pair extremely well with brown tones – strange but true!

A brown leather jacket would be a premium recommendation in that brown brings a distinct note of style into your overall look and seperates you from the legions of men who simply always opt for the severe looking, and much more common, black jacket. A chocolate brown leather simply ages more gracefully than its darker cousin, and adds a vintage flair.

Style

From sharp-suited silks, to pants following a Balinese, Malaysian and Inidian style, the next year’s collection will be filled with unstructured jackets, loose drawstring and cropped dhoti-style pants.

Men’s wear should feeling casual and relaxed for next season, there is still the air of opulence associated with the label. Jackets in ivory crocodile and chenille cardigans for the torso, sleek silk trousers, and jackets set off with silk handkerchiefs, all are distinctly deluxe in look.

Brown also co-ordinates much better with most jeans, sweaters, and shirts that will be presented to you in the cooler seasons. and a  french blue dress or sport shirt is not only a staple piece of any wardrobe of merit, but will serve you in wonderful stead in a variety of social occasions ranging from a casual date at the local watering hole, a stroll in the park (when coupled with jeans and the aforementioned leather coat), or a high-pressure job interview.

As leather jackets are a forever classical style, so in 2009, leather will still act as one of the most popular fabrics in the fashion industry. A soft, supple material that conforms to the curve’s of a person’s body, leather has a natural sex appeal that is unmatched by any other fabric. Leather is a favorite among the fashion industry, models and musicians.

Given the durability factors, along with the classic, stylish look of leather and the comparative low cost of either, no wonder this item has not only survived as a fashion statement through out history but has also remained a practical choice with universal appeal. So men to choose a motorcycle or bomber jacket can get a feeling that you are never go out of style.

Accessories

As for accessories, one piece of clothing that immediately springs to mind would be a scarf, worn rather rakishly in the earlier months of fall or perhaps more pragmatically during the bitter cold of a northern winter! Scarves can add a level of distinction and personality to a wardrobe that is often afforded to the wearer via a necktie – it is a centerpiece of the outerwear collection and is something that immediately catches the eye of the passerby.

A wool or cotton scarf is recommended, as silk tends to look rather foppish or effete when worn by most men – and as for colour, the primary suggestion is to either find a tone in the scarf that would tie in nicely with your most commonly worn coat, or simply a scarf that catches your eye and that you rather like. Remember, when it comes to accessories such as scarves and neckties, they are showcases for your sense of style and personality – choose accordingly! Scarves are draped around the waist as belts, or slung casually over the shoulders. Shoes also followed a distinctly Asian style with lace-ups, woven hopsack, snakeskin, and crocodile.

* Great Costume Ideas for Guys on Halloween or a Christmas Carnival

At last ,as the Halloween and Christmas season is coming soon, if you want to get noticed at a fancy dress party,  I’d like to give men some special ideas about costumes for men.

Ghostbuster Costume

A great costume idea for a group of guys who can argue over which one of them gets to be Ray, Peter, Winston or Egon. Grey boiler suits are the starting point. High-end costumers will have proton packs for hire, but an improvised version using backpacks/old drinks bottles and a super soaker can be effective. A new Ghostbusters video game is about to be released, so purchasing Ghostbuster accessories should become easier.

Celebrity Lookalike Costume

For the partygoer who bears more than a striking resemblance to a celebrity ,the lookalike costume is a good choice and will be sure to generate discussion. If the partygoer does not look like anyone famous then they can try some of the more visually recognisable celebs for example

Superhero Costume

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No It’s someone dressed as a superhero on the dance floor. Superhero costumes are easy to find, cheap to hire and always guaranteed to raise a smile. Popular superhero costumes are.

Astronaut Costume

If the partygoer has the money, then the space suit is quite simply the most show-stopping of all the costumes. Generally this costume requires a large rental fee and on top of that a substantial deposit.

Cowboy Costume

Another costume that is very popular with women is the cowboy outfit. It’s quite common, so the wearer should add some unique touches to the costume such as a sheriff’s badge or a wacky colour scheme. The cowboy costume will be available from most fancy dress suppliers.

Sailor Dress Uniform Costume

With its bright white colour, this costume is great for parties that may be using UV lighting. The wearer will stand out from the crowd and will be seen from the other side of the room with ease. Due to its apperances in An Officer and a Gentleman and Top Gun , this costume seems to be very popular with women.

Chippendale Costume

This costume is not suitable for outdoor events that are prone to poor weather. The Chippendale outfit requires only a bow tie, some black trousers and a lot of confidence. The more adventurous partygoer should carry baby oil with them for chest oiling opportunities.

Everyone desires to look attractive. They want to stay updated with what’s in and what’s out. Fashion-conscious people constantly keep a watch on the changing fashion trends. These days, more emphasis is being paid towards how an individual presents himself. People use various means to look attractive. They like to spend money on attractive clothes and accessories.

When it comes to fashion and accessories, you would find a diverse variety at the online shops. Fashion accessories like clothing, shoes and others come in a variety of sizes and colours for kids, youngsters and adults.

When it comes to fashion, almost everyone these days like to wear the latest fashion clothes. Fashion comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. Fashion clothes are clothes which are in fashion or trendy clothes. These clothes are mostly liked by the youth as these are the most happening clothes. Clothes like jeans sometimes become out of fashion and sometimes jackets. A fashion conscious person would never miss the fashion trends for the year to come.

A man’s personality is largely reflected through the clothes he wears. His clothes can make him distinctive and he can express his individuality. If you go through the latest men’s fashion trends, the online shopping portals offer a variety of men’s clothes. The most noticed one is men’s fashion coats. They are fantastic to wear and are available with different brands. Whether you are looking for men’s casual coats, versatile jackets, smart blazers, suits or ties, you can find them with lots of styles and colours. You can find them in varying sizes with excellent designs. The fashionable clothes are not only about style and comfort but also allowing you to stay updated with the trend.

Today, men coats is not only about clothes but also their entire style. Their hair style is also a part of their fashion. They spend hours shopping; they have become more aware of themselves and make every attempt to make an impact.

There are ample of options available for fashion conscious men with trendy designs, latest cuts and designer labels. From blazers to belts, cashmere to cufflinks, there is every item that a man could possible want.

Every June, shorter men across the U.S. celebrate National Short Men of Style Month. According to U.S. Census Bureau Statistics, it is estimated that there are at least 30 million, professional, American men in the U.S. under 5’9” in height. These men are under-served by the existing retail menswear market, which tends to build their inventory programs around the middle 50% of shoppers, or men 5’9” and above, where profits are strongest. Nonetheless, there are many successful, stylish shorter men out there who make the extra effort to find stylish apparel even under these difficult circumstances. To celebrate and encourage those men, ForTheFit.com, an online short men’s e-tailer with headquarters in Orlando, Florida, sponsored National Short Men of Style Month.

Celebrating shorter men’s fashion is a great way to bring attention to the difficult fashion obstacles faced by shorter men, as well as the various ways these can be successfully overcome. For example, Fashion and style guides regularly suggest that shorter men should consider shopping in the boy’s department, or resort to tailoring and alterations. These options are unacceptable to many. The young men’s department offers an inappropriate fit for a man’s shape, regardless of his stature. Further young men’s styles often lack the maturity required by today’s successful, professional man. Alterations or custom tailoring can be viable options, but the process is not for everyone. “Buying clothes that always have to be altered is a pain in the pocketbook,” explains Mary Foster of Tinley Park, Illinois, a frequent shopper for her 5’9” and under husband and son. Greg Cason of Orlando, Florida, takes issue with the cost and time involved in alterations, and prefers to avoid the “extra trips” to get alterations after shopping for pants. Like many stylish shorter men, Mr. Cason has discovered the value in specialty retailers such as ForTheFit.com, who cater to shorter men, “The pants I ordered fit perfectly out of the box” he enthuses.

Shorter men often require trousers with shorter hems, a shorter rise, and smaller waist sizes. Sleeve lengths and the overall proportions of dress and casual shirts and most suiting available off-the-rack are generally too large for shorter men. To stock their online store, For the Fit, Inc.’s buyers look for apparel manufacturers and brands that cut their menswear fashions trimmer and smaller than average, and custom manufacturers apparel in sizes proportioned for their target audience. Jeffrey Bova, the company’s C.F.O., adds, “quality, up to date styles and known brands were sorely missing in this market segment… (this) dissatisfaction with the selection available in smaller sizes was a major factor that drove us to start our company.” Short men’s retailing is still a rather unique concept. Besides For the Fit, Inc., only about five other stores exist nationwide- including the popular Jimmy Au’s in southern California, and Napolean’s Tailor, with two locations in Wisconsin and Illinois.

National Short Men of Style Month was established to celebrate the shorter men, like Mr. Cason, who make the extra-effort to craft excellent personal style, despite the difficulties and limited shopping resources available to shorter men. Though the event has been celebrated since 2005, For the Fit, Inc. is proud to announce its sponsorship of some new additions to the festivities. First, they will be publishing their first ever list of the most stylish male celebrities under 5’9.” “Many people are surprised at how many of their favorite celebrities are men under 5’9”,” notes Mr. Bova, “these men know how to make their talent and style take center stage- not their height. There is a lot we can learn from them.” In addition, 2008 brings the first annual “National Short Man of Style” competition- a contest to find America’s most stylish shorter man. Contestants will write a short essay and enter a photograph of themselves looking their best for a chance to win prizes such as a new wardrobe or a new suit ensemble from ForTheFit.com. Contest entries can be submitted online through June 15th 2008 at ShortMenofStyle.com. Visit the website soon- remember June is the shortest month of the men’s fashion year.

Looking good means more than having a fit, cut body. It also means possessing a style that’s all your own. Mens fashion can be everlasting using permanent and classic styles. Men’s fashion and style interest men more today than ever as they realize that looking good is an asset in every aspect of their lives: business, personal, or social. Some men feel confident enough to do this for themselves; for those who are less confident an image consultant can be employed to give help and advice.

If the look is perfect on the runway, that doesn’t mean that it’s perfect for you as a complete copy. While you should use designer’s best trends to guide your look and give it some style, mix-and-match your basics.

Use your favorites from seasons before for a more affordable style that’s completely on-trend. Men’s interview dressing has been fairly static over the years. Many men want fashion freedom, but what they want to wear is a big step from what they wear daily today. It is best to start slowly and build up to total fashion freedom.

Don’t be a slave to flashy branding. Your clothes can have more defined style without necessarily having a logo on them, and when your pieces are subtly stylish, you can wear them more often. This is essential for those of us who tend to hang onto our favorite pair of jeans. A good collection of basics will help you highlight major fashion finds, and can give your trendy pieces more polished style.

A fashion victim is someone who wants to follow all the latest men’s fashion trends regardless of whether they suit his body shape, looks, or age. If you love fashion, that doesn’t mean you need to layer on the accessories. Choose a simple pair of shades, a man bag and a great pair of shoes to round out your wardrobe. There’s no need for a watch, bracelets and necklaces worn all together. Don’t try and make so much of an effort to look fashionable that you end up overdoing it. Keep a good balance of basic and fashionable clothes in your wardrobe. As a rule of thumb, not more than half of your wardrobe should consist of trendy clothes, or worse, clothes that are out of style.
