New Concept of Image for Chinese Men

　　A rough and random style is no longer suitable for men in China as social activities are becoming more extensive and frequent. Men must adopt a new dressing code to create a modern image of being smart, capable, and natural. Then what on the earth is the new dressing philosophy for men to pack themselves up?

New Dressing Code

     The most common in men's apparel arsenal are suits. Many men think suits are so common that you just put one on and that's all right. It is no so at all. Nowadays, suits contain more ideas and convey more messages than ever before.

     Take fabric for example. On formal social occasions such as cocktail parties or business meetings, you should wear formal suits. Fabric materials for important occasions should be of top grade. It could be exquisite thick woolen cloth, or soft and light woolen fabric, or fine-spinning woolen, polyester, or cotton and linen fabric materials. Leisure-style suits, popular in recent years, are very suitable for daily home occasions or holiday periods. Characterized by its softness, leisure-style suits break away from the formality and tedium, presumably the only message conveyed by traditional suits. Suits can also be made of such fabric materials as processed corduroy, wool, linen, or pure silk. They equally represent elegant tastes. Suits made of excellent straight-looking fabric appear wonderful on men and make them look more dapper.
More choices in color are now available. In the past, most suits were piteously limited to a few series of color. But now, French gray, off-white, iron-rust, greenish black, diamond blue, light brown, and lilac, among other choices, are all very effective for suits. If matched nicely, they make men look bright and energetic. Of course, there are suit fabric materials in various checkered patterns. Suits made of checkered materials in 中 文 版 style, or materials in tiny decorative patterns no matter whether arranged regularly or irregularly, all make men appear warm and personable. It is also uttermost important to know how to choose trousers to go nicely along with suits. Nowadays, trousers tends to look more light and elegant than ever before as more attention is paid to a back-to-nature leisure style. Fabric materials for trousers should feel soft without any wrinkle, and they should look smooth, and ventilate satisfactorily. In terms of color, since popular suits tend to be of light and elegant colors, the previously heavy-colored trousers look too oppressive in any season, and their matching effects look quite dull. A word for socks. You should choose a pair of cotton or silk socks that are good at absorbing sweat and airy. And finally, you should have a pair of soft leather shoes in a bright style that suits you aptly. Footwear like this can make you go far.

New Concept of Accessories

    In addition to the style of suits and quality of fabric materials, a man of good tastes should pay attention to accessories he carries such as the watch, the glasses, the belt, even the lighter, and the wallet. These are indispensable paraphernalia, and the role they play in shaping men's images is too important to overlook.

     In comparison to purely decorative paraphernalia for women, men's accessories tend to be more pragmatic. When you wish to select a stick pin, a pen or a key ring, you may as well get some good quality ones, if you can afford them. Of course, the famed brands might not necessarily be a good idea. What you need is that your buys should be practical and enduring, and display your exquisite tastes. Your choices should go together harmoniously. For instance, the stickpin should agree with the leather belt. Fortunately many accessories for men are sold in sets. For example, a three-in-one set usually contains a stickpin of titanium, a pen, a key ring. A five-in-one set usually contains a wrist watch and sleeve buttons in addition to a stickpin, a writing pen, and a key ring. These combinations show good tastes.
