Like a pair of jeans, the humble T-shirt is the go-to item of a man’s wardrobe; they are the building blocks that you can take in any direction you please, dressing them up or down depending on the occasion. Of course, when it comes to T-shirts, what’s in vogue changes on a regular basis. This means that while some pieces in this category are classics, others are more transient, shifting in popularity according to the fashion zeitgeist. Whether they’re timeless or trendy, to find out which T-shirts should be in your wardrobe right now read on.

1. The polo T-shirt

Once upon a time, polo shirts were the domain of golfers and prepsters. Everything changed when successful advertising campaigns by companies like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste made us all realize how incredibly versatile this piece was. Nowadays, everyone owns — or ought to own — a polo. No matter what your style, a polo will be a useful addition to your wardrobe that you’ll be able to adapt to your unique look. During the summer months, try it in a playful, ultra bright shade like this multi-striped version from Lacoste. The only thing you need to remember is that while preppy equals polished, you want to avoid wearing it head to toe.

Wear it with: White trousers in the summer and your own accessories.

2. The nautical tee

Beloved from New England to Europe, the nautical tee successfully combines fashion with function. Whether you’re down at the docks or chilling on a yacht, a nautical tee will stand you in good stead. Like this long-sleeved model from Ralph Lauren, you’ll want to get yours in lightweight cotton, which can be thrown straight into the wash in order to maximize its usage. Even if you don’t have a perfect physique, don’t be put off by wearing horizontal stripes as these are some of the most flattering lines you’ll ever come across. There’s only one caveat: This shirt is the definition of easy summer living, so don’t even think about wearing it in the winter.

Wear it with: It’s stunning with white, so dress it up with a white blazer or keep it casual with cotton shorts.

3. The graphic T-shirt

Having made a major impact on the T-shirt market when it first appeared, the graphic tee remains a wardrobe must-have for stylish men from Johannesburg to Jacksonville. To be able to wear your graphic T-shirt with practically everything in your wardrobe, you’ll want to stick to a reasonably abstract pattern such as this ship mast image on Toddland’s super soft cotton crew neck.

Wear it with: Make a graphic statement by mixing this T-shirt with gray jeans or corduroys, and throw on a blazer for funky, fuss-free style on a wild night out.

4. The sports T-shirt

While you can’t get away with wearing your favorite player’s jersey on a regular basis as it’s neither acceptable office wear nor particularly stylish, you can show your love for the game at work by playing with a carefully chosen sports tee. Retro Sport is one label that makes fantastic vintage-inspired T-shirts featuring logos from old-school sporting teams. Football fans can pledge their allegiance to the sport without compromising their style with this T-shirt from the Los Angeles bulldogs, who competed from 1936 to 1948.

Wear it with: Slim fitting jeans and canvas sneakers.

5. The deep V-neck T-shirt

While a V-shaped neckline is never really outdated, you can increase the style quotient of your ensemble by choosing a tee with a deep V-neck rather than the standard collarbone length style. This 50% cotton and 50% modal version from Daftbird is seasonless and will slim a less-than-ideal shape, making it appear more masculine. At the same time, the neckline isn’t so low that you’ll feel cheesy in it or like you’re contemplating entering a cleavage competition.

Wear it with: Blazers make it smarter, cuffed denim keeps it casual and layering a cardigan over it takes it into fall.

6. The granddad T-shirt

Essentially a short-sleeve Henley, the granddad tee is reminiscent of those long-sleeve thermals your old man’s old man wore. Thankfully, this time around they have been updated with a more flattering fit and you won’t be restricted to wearing them exclusively as an undergarment. This dark-navy option from G-Star is cut to skim the body and show off a gym-toned physique to its full advantage without being skin tight.

Wear it with: Denim or pressed cotton pants. In colder months, layer it underneath a plaid shirt to try out the.

Tattooing is very much in today’s fashion. However, we can trace back the tattooing to ancient age. During those periods, there are historical evidences that people knew about tattooing. The main objective of tattooing used to be the beautification of body. The revival of this trend has again taken place, but raising some issues and concerns. Yes, the more and more people are going for this tattooing fashion, the issues and concern regarding its safety is also increasing.

Tattooing is usually done with the help of a tattoo gun. The function of this equipment is to dispense the biocompatible inks into the body to create the tattoo. A special kind of ink containing iron oxide or titanium dioxide is used for this purpose. The same procedure can be done manually with the help of a needle.

Now you must have realized where the danger lies. Yes, the procedure involves dispensing ink into the skin and use of needle and that is the reason why, the proper sanitation measures are needed for it.

Tattooing is fun as long as it assures you safety. So, the first thing in tattooing is to consult a registered expert before you really do it on your skin. You have to tell the professional about all your health status. If you have any kind of heart related problems then reveal it to the expert. It will help him to take all precautionary measures, as tattooing involves a lot of pain.

The next thing to observe is to maintaining proper sanitation during tattooing.  Yes, sanitation means you should be alert to see whether a disposable needle is being used for piercing or not. A little bit of negligence can also lead you to disaster. Don’t take chance.

Finally, once you get your tattoos done, swelling or slight bruising on that area will remain for days. However, the swelling should not last for more than three days. Or else, consult with the professional immediately.

Everyone understands that it is important to smell good when trying to attract the opposite sex. However, do you know which fragrance is the most effective? Do you know the few simple tricks you can use to bring your “smelling good” up to the next level? If not, you’re at the right place as there are a lot more to it than just spraying…

Learn how to use fragrance right so you always smell great and are wearing the type of fragrance that women love and respond to.

Fragrance Rotation

Always have a few different fragrances, at least 2-3 which you rotate often. You will become more attractive to women that you are around on a regular basis because they will not be able to predict what you will be smelling like. Predictable is boring, and most women think that their own lives are boring… so in turn they search for a mate who does NOT appear to be living a boring life in order to add some spice to their own. When you smell different just about each day, you will be displaying that you are a spontaneous person… as well as a person with style, and with the right choice of fragrance… a person with class as well. This is exactly what ANY real player should want the ladies to think of them.

Fragrance & Pheromone

Never apply fragrance to your clothes, the smell will fade away in less than a few hours, plus your clothing does not contain natural pheromones like your body does… so spraying your shirt would not be produce the full effect of the fragrance. When you spray fragrance on your body in the right spots, pheromones mix together with the fragrance to “create” an original smell… YOUR original smell. If you have ever wondered why the same brand of fragrance smells different depending on who is wearing it, now you know… it is because each person’s body produces slightly different pheromones, and when mixed with fragrance produces their own unique “version” of the fragrance.

The “HOT” Spots

The best spots to apply fragrance are the areas of your body that produce the most body heat. Body heat “activates” the fragrance, increasing the strength of the smell and making it last as long as possible… while colder areas of your body tend to dull the smell and make it disappear more rapidly. To achieve maximum results when wearing fragrance, apply it to the following body parts : Wrists, neck, arm pits, and behind the ears. When using a fragrance spray, do NOT spray behind your ears, spray it onto your hands and wipe it on… the last thing you want is to smell like you took a bath in your fragrance. Another added bonus of putting fragrance behind your ears is the fact that when you are in a club with loud music girls tend to talk into your ear so you can hear them… and when they do they will get a nice gentle whiff of your scent.

Choosing The Right Fragrance

When shopping for a new fragrance, never go by what smells good… you don’t want a fragrance that JUST smells good… you want a fragrance that will trigger good memories. When a woman smells a scent that triggers an old, happy memory… she becomes instantly attracted to whatever is producing the scent… and you want that to be YOU, right? Sure you do, so keep that in mind when choosing a new fragrance. The trick to selecting a fragrance that does this effectively is to test them on yourself… if it triggers any type of good memory in your mind, then it should have a similar effect on most of the women that you try to pick up. To make your life a bit easier I have compiled a list of fragrance at the bottom of this page that are the absolute BEST at doing this… so you don’t even need to go “smell testing”. This is not a required step, and you can’t really expect to find a fragrance that will trigger every woman’s good memories… but selecting a fragrance with ingredients that make people reflect on the “good ol’ days” when smelled is always a nice bonus, it’s like having a “press here to put her in a good mood” button.

Cheap VS Expensive

Don’t be fooled by brands like Calvin Klien, Curve and Polo Sport. If you wear any of these “regular brands” you will not be ANY better than the last guy who decided that a decent  fragrance was not worth the investment, plus most of the cheaper brands smell pretty bad… the last thing you want to do is turn women off simply because your fragrance gave them a headache! Now you might automatically say “I can’t afford that!” when you hear a name like Armani or Versace… but I can assure you that their fragrance is quite cheap compared to most of their other products, and spending $30-40 on a REALLY good bottle of fragrance instead of wasting $20 on a cheap bottle is definitely worth it when people constantly tell you how good you smell!

So What’s Best?

If you like getting compliments from women on how good you smell, please quickly go to a department store and find the best one for you, then you’ll know that it sophisticates you!!

Besides, if you are a woman, seek the best fragrance for someone you love…

What’s in a name? In the case of Australia’s Vanishing Elephant, not much. The year-old company’s clothes are deceptively, appealingly simple. Until you take a closer look, that is. A waxed cotton anorak has shades of Penfield, except that it zips on the bias like a motorcycle jacket, adding a little toughness. A plaid button-down at first glance looks like everybody else’s plaid button-down, until you notice the ribbon trim on the collar and chest pocket, a detail that punches up a classic without veering into flash.
