Although we always discussed about the latest fashion trends in each season and review about all the fashion designers clothing in each and single Men Fashion Week runway, we do received some e-mail on how we can achieve men fashion style and yet take good care of our wallet too.
Well, today we would like to share these 3 simple man fashion tips on how you can have both side of the world.
Buy clothes only in Seasonless fabrics
DO stock up on those that can be worn nearly all 12 months of the year, like silks, lightweight wools and knits, and sturdy, unflimsy cottons. DON’T spend serious money on summer-only (linen) or winter-only (heavy tweed) fabrics.
Introduce yourself to the most useful accessory ever
DO play with belts to remake everything--a sweater, a dress, a jacket--in your closet. Gabrielle Union's look is perfection, right? DON'T attempt to cinch in lots of excess fabric. You'll look like a paper bag tied in the middle!
Own a few cardigans
DO make sure you have several of these always-right sweaters in tissue-thin cashmere or wool like Kate's, or a nice cotton. Wear them in place of jackets--they're a whole lot cheaper! Check out sales, but... DO realize it's OK not to wait for the markdown if you find a piece you love and will wear again and again and again. DON'T get so caught up in the fact that something's on sale for $7 that you squeeze yourself into a too-tight piece and say, "It fits!"

Man Fashion: Looking for New Designer Handbags?
Choosing the right men designer handbag is as critical as choosing shoes, suits, or any other accessory, this is simply because wrong designer handbag could bring more damage than anything to your overall style, whereas matched designer handbag can change your look from sexy and sassy to cool and stylist. You probably will agree with me by looking at some of our previous men designer handbag posts.So before you decide to start looking for any new men designer handbags, let us share our 3 simple tips on choosing the right men designer handbag.
- Choosing the right designer handbag not only reflects the different facets of your personality, it’s also all about image and your designer handbag speaks volumes about you – your sense of style, taste and level of sophistication. You should bear this in mind when choosing a designer handbag. Remember, first impressions always count.
- Make your designer handbag a good investment by choosing handbag that works with a variety of outfits.
- When making any new purchase, I always believe to invest as much as you can afford for the best you can afford. However, you have to make sure designer handbag suits the purpose it was meant for. In short, it may be simply to die for, but is should also be practical and affordable as well.

Man Fashion: Handmade Footwear from Hungary
Built for a discriminating consumer by the world’s foremost artisans,
Ildikó Gál represents the very best in bespoke footwear for men. The first collection of men’s handmade dress shoes, all constructed by third generation Hungarian shoemakers, debuts in America this month.
Towards that end, Ildikó Gál has opened a showroom in New York at 501 Fifth Avenue. Ildikó Gál (www.IldikoGal.com) is an emerging lifestyle brand that combines modern technology with Old World craftsmanship to produce luxurious products of unsurpassed quality. Hungarian shoe artisans have perfected their craft over hundreds of years.
In spite of modern techniques and the changing world around them these craftsmen remain true to this special art form, one that has been handed down through generations. Not only have their methods remained unchanged but so too have the habitats where they live and work. From small towns and villages in rural Hungary, these shoemakers produce stunning, handcrafted footwear much like their fathers and grandfathers before them. Now, Ildikó Gál marries that magnificent tradition with the discerning taste of a modern, 21st century palette and is able to make them available to a discerning clientele here in the US.
Constructing a perfect shoe starts with a state-of-the-art scanner that measure each foot from all angles. The foot scan data is instantly transmitted to the last makers, who create lasts that reflect a customer's unique feet. Once scanned the data remains in the system so that custom lasts can be made for any future style.
The shoe design is executed completely by hand using traditional methods and the finest skins.
Each pair of bespoke footwear is delivered in a custom fitted wooden box, with custom made shoe trees, silk shoe bags and special polishes.
A mere six weeks after placing an order, a customer receives his signature Ildiko Gál handmade shoes. Priced competitively (retail starting about $2,500) when compared to the best handmade shoes in the world, Ildikó Gál footwear is made to last. The brand is designed to be sold in leading couture fashion retail stores as well as through its New York-based showroom location.
All finished footwear is stamped with the artisan’s signature and each pair is unique, a true work of art.
