A 1930s Video of what the Fashionable Woman will wear in the year 2000

A video in which fashion designers circa the 1930s were asked to design clothing as they predicted it would look in the year 2000. More fun than accurate (”transparent nets to catch males”, “an electric belt will adapt the belt to climatic changes”, “a dress of aluminum”), although their vision of the tie-less, goateed 21st century male — with his portable phone/radio and pockets for “keys, coins, and candy for cuties” — is fairly prescient.

How To Measure A Man's Shirt - A WiseSize Tip For Men and Women Who Shop For Them

How To Measure A Shirt Place the tape measure at the base of your neck (where the collar meets the shirt) measure the distance to the point where your buttocks ends and your legs begin. This is the typical length of a dress shirt. Round up your measurement to the nearest full inch.

Stand upright, place the tape measure around your chest where your chest extends the furthest. The tape measure should be flush with your chest, not too loose and not too tight. Add 2 inches to the measurement. Round up your measurement to the nearest full inch.

Place the tape measure around your waist at the part where your waist extends the furthest. Add 2 inches to the measurement this is the waist measurement you will use. Round up your measurement to the nearest full inch.

Place the tape measure around your hips at the part where your hips extend the farthest. Add 2 inches to the measurement. Round up your measurement to the nearest full inch.

Your shoulder measurement is the distance between the outer edges of each shoulder (shoulder seam). Take the measurement and round up your measurement to the nearest half inch.

With your arm remaining straight at your side, and your hand slightly curled, measure the area from the outer edge of your shoulder seam to the first knuckle of your thumb and subtract 1 to 1 1/2" depending on how long you like your Sleeves. Record to the nearest half inch.   NOTE: We use a "tailor's measurement" to get your Sleeve Length, this is your actual length. When you buy an "Off The Rack" shirt in the store your Sleeve Length will be longer because they use a "retail measurement" that includes both your Sleeve Length and half of your Shoulder Length. Do not be alarmed if the Sleeve Length that you give us is 10-12" shorter than your normal (retail) Sleeve Length; it is correct.

Place the tape measure around your neck where the top of the collar goes. The tape measure should be flush with your neck, not too loose and not too tight. If you like the neck on your shirts to fit loose add 1 inch; If you like the neck on your shirts to fit snug, add 1/2 inch. Round up your measurement to the nearest quarter inch.

40 Mistakes to Avoid In Mens Fashion! Please Share With All Men!

40 Common Mens Fashion Mistakes to Avoid!

Marilyn and I have realized we have focused mostly on women and their fashion but we get questions all the time from men (or their wives or partners) as well and thought we would share that advice too:

Of course we sell all the brands and styles to help you (or your man) avoid these fashion faux pas:

Kenneth Cole, Saltaire, DKNY, Paper Denim & Cloth, Levis, Perry Ellis, Haggar, Sean John, Columbia Sportswear, all in stock and ready to wear!

 

 

40 common fashion mistakes to avoid:
Clothes that don’t fit - Baggy clothes make a person look sloppy, and like they’re wearing hand-me-downs. If your body type makes it hard to find well-fitting off the rack, make your tailor your best friend. Getting the right fit will transform anyone’s image.

Wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie – Unless you work for a fast-food joint, where sleeves will probably get dirty while making sandwiches, avoid wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie, as it is generally perceived as lower class apparel. If you want to stay looking professional and confident, stick to long-sleeve shirts.

Dirty shoes – It’s the area that too many guys overlook in terms of cleaning and proper care. A stylish man keeps his shoes as he does any of his other clothes; clean and free of scratches and dirt.

Warped shoes – Keep at least two pairs of dress shoes in the same color so you can let one pair rest for a day from sweat and stretching. Doing this prevents them from warping. Place a pair of shoetrees in your shoes when you’re not wearing them to maintain their best form.

Improper pants length –Don’t fold up your jeans or your chinos unless it’s some sort of fashion statement that you’re making. Your pants can come down to the bottom of your shoes but make sure they come just above the floor to avoid fraying your pants. Also, you only need a slight break, or crease, in the pants leg. And don’t be the guy who has his feet swimming in all that extra fabric. All it takes is a simple trip to the tailor to get them hemmed.

Wrong socks with a suit – When you’re wearing a suit, match your sock color to your pants, not your shoes. This is the same as mismatching your suit pants to your jacket. If you’re wearing a navy suit with black shoes, reach for navy socks. And when wearing a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shade or so lighter than the shoes.

Wrong belt color – If you’re wearing dress shoes, make sure the color of your belt matches the color of your dress shoes. Also, the finish of the belt and shoes need to match. In other words, if your shoes are shiny, your belt should be shiny as well. If you’re wearing casual shoes or sneakers, make sure you wear a thicker casual belt to match instead of a thin dress belt.

Improper tie length – A man’s tie should always end at the center of his belt buckle. This is such a simple rule, but overlooked by many. Having a tie that’s too short or too long, can make a man look incompetent.

Forgetting the necktie dimple - It’s the telltale sign of a professional who knows how to wear a tie.

Being too “buttoned” up - If a jacket has two buttons, just fasten the top button. If it has three buttons, you can close the top button, the middle button, or middle and top button. The key is to always leave the bottom buttoned undone. This is a tradition that has been used for decades, and will keep your style looking smart.

Socks and sandals – Have you seen anyone ever pull this off, and look sexy? Case closed.

Cartoon clothing - I love Disney characters, but unless you work for Disney, wearing them on your tie or shirts during the week make you look like you’re stuck in fantasy land. Oh and while we’re on the subject, stay away from those cheesy belt buckles as well. Instead, stick to the classic wardrobe pieces that will keep you looking your best for years to come.

Dress socks that aren’t long enough – When wearing a suit, your socks should come up to your calves, and stay there. When you cross your legs, you shouldn’t be showing any part of your legs. Isn’t it lovely when you see a man’s hairy leg peeking over his socks? When dressed casual, I recommend going very short on the socks or go completely sockless. So fully covered for professional wear, and the sockless look if you’re dressed casual.

Wearing the wrong colors - It’s important to match the color of your clothes to your skin tone. You want the focus to be on you, not the overwhelming color of your shirt. If you have dark skin, you can either wear dark colors or bright colors that match the strength of your skin color. If you have very fair skin, lighter colors are most flattering on you – like soft pastels or icy colors.

Wrinkled clothing- Unless you’re going for the “I sleep in these clothes” effect, keep all your clothes pressed and wrinkle-free. It’s a good habit to always hang up all your clothes, never throwing them on the floor of your room after use.

Wrong casual tie - If you’re wearing a tie as part of your casual outfit, go for a slim tie instead of the wider ones; keep those for the office. It looks a thousand times more stylish.

Wearing too many colors – Limit each of your outfits to a maximum of three colors or shades to maintain a coordinated look. If in doubt find a color wheel online and use it to help you choose your colors. Colors opposite each other on the wheel are “complementary colors.” Colors adjacent to each other are called “analogous colors”. When putting together an outfit, stick to complementary and analogous colors and remember less is more.

Wearing a backpack with a suit – Whenever I’m walking around the city, I see a lot of professional people wearing nice suits and carrying backpacks. I understand that a backpack can be more comfortable because you can throw it over your shoulder instead of holding a briefcase, but you can also get a nice messenger bag to maintain a professional look but keep you hands free and comfortable.

Unflattering hairstyles – Hair is one area of your image that you can constantly experiment with and upgrade without paying more than you normally do. Look around and see which hairstyles look flattering to you, and try something new this season.

Excess cologne – If a woman can only smell your cologne when she’s very close, this is good. She’ll have more reason to stay close. If a woman can smell you from across the room, need she come any closer? Depending on the strength of your cologne, use sparingly, if your cologne loses it’s smell throughout the day, simply reapply. A good rule of thumb is to limit it to two sprays – once on your neck and wrists.

Too much jewelry – All the jewelry a man needs are watches that will match different outfits, and a wedding ring if he’s married. Unless you’re a rock star, don’t go around wearing five rings and a bunch of necklaces at the same time. It looks tacky. Limit yourself to no more than three pieces of jewelry.

Comb-overs – Your not fooling anyone by covering up your bald spots – it’s better to accept and shave it all off Bruce Willis style. It makes you look a lot more sharp, and more importantly, healthy.

Sweatpants – Unless you’re going to the gym, you should never be wearing sweats out in the public. Not only do we dress up for ourselves, but mostly for other people. By wearing sweats, it’s easy to disrespect the people you’re meeting - they may feel that they’re not worth you cleaning up for.

Oversized branding – Avoid clothes that make you look like a walking advertisement. Don’t you know that’s what the advertisers want? Unless you’re getting paid, you’re getting the bad end of the deal.
Tucking T-shirts in – Tucking in polo shirts is acceptable, but t-shirts should be kept casual. If your t-shirt is too long then it’s probably too big on you.

Wearing a crew neck tee under a dress shirt – Pick up a v-neck undershirt and you’ll look a million times better.

Clipping your cell phone to your belt – This is as attractive as using a Bluetooth headset as a fashion accessory. It’s a cell phone, not a gun, keep it in your pocket.

Clunky square toe shoes – Popular in the 1990s, fashion has now strayed far away from this non-classic look. They’ll probably never come back into fashion so lose them and get some slimmer shoes.

Too many prints – Whether with casual clothes or dressy, avoid mixing too many patterns or prints together. If you’re wearing a suit, a good rule of thumb is to keep it to a max of two patterns. In other words, if you’re wearing a patterned suit, wear a solid shirt and a patterned tie, or if you’re wearing a solid suit, you can wear a patterned shirt and a patterned tie. But having a patterned tie, a patterned shirt, and a patterned suit can make you look too busy.

Mismatching styles – Don’t wear your sporty Oakley sunglasses with a blazer, or a pair of cargo pants with a dressy shirt. Keep your outfits coherent and matching in style.

Bulky pockets – I see a lot of guys walking around with bulging pockets. If it’s your wallet that’s creating that bulge, spend some time taking out all those old receipts or business cards. If you need to hold on to them, keep them in a safe place and take them out when you need them. Get a slimmer wallet or a money clip to save space.

Dirty nails – Some men have very overworked and nasty hands. They are either really callous, or they have cracked cuticles. If you work outdoors or lift weights, wear gloves, and use hand lotion before you go to bed at night. Keep your fingernails trim, and free of hangnails, cracked cuticles, and dirt.

Keep your facial hair well groomed – The hair on your face should be orderly. Your face is the first thing noticed, and so maintaining your facial hair is important if you want to look sharp. Either keep a cleanly shaved face, or keep your beard trim. They should absolutely should be no hair underneath your chin on your neck area.

Hair in the back of their neck – Hair on the back of your neck is the same thing. If you don’t get haircuts too often, use a small mirror to check the back of your neck against another mirror, and use a razor to shave any hair that’s growing on the back of your neck.

Using too much hair product – Be aware that looking like you have a bottle of hair product on your head never looks good. A woman sometimes wants to be able to run her fingers through your hair, not hurt herself doing it. Use a smaller amount than you think you need.

Wearing sandals outside of the beach or pool – Keep the flip-flops for the pool, and opt for a casual pair of driving moccasins this summer. Driving moccasins are usually made of leather, but really easy to slip into and have flexible rubber soles, which make them the rich man’s slipper. A pair of dark brown ones will work perfectly with almost anything. Wear them without socks and a pair of cotton shorts for a classically stylish appeal. And if you do wear sandals to the beach or the pool, make sure your toenails are trim and healthy looking.

Not tucking in dress shirts - If your dress shirts are long enough to cover your butt, they are meant to be tucked in. The shirts are made longer so that when you sit down, with your shirt under your butt, your shirt doesn’t come out of your pants. If you’re someone who hates tucking in at casual settings, than make sure the dress shirts you wear are tailored shorter to come above the center of your bottom.

Being a fashion victim – Avoid wearing something just because it’s popular, and not because you actually like the way it looks and feels you. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wearing things that are in fashion, or trying something out of normal comfort zone, but the problem happens when you’re constantly needing to buy that next “fashion piece” that everyone seems to be jumping for. Build a style of your own instead of joining the clones.

Not taking care of that unibrow – Keeping your eyebrows groomed is just as important as the hair on top of your head. Use a tweezer and pluck any hair that is above the nose, it has to go.

Wearing athletic socks, for non athletic occasions – Keep the white athletic socks for the gym or when you’re out playing sports, otherwise, stick to the navy or black socks. They have casual ones in those colors as well. They always look more stylish than white.

Don’t settle for low-grade tees - I see so many guys walking around with their free Pepsi shirts or something they got from their last vacation to Canada. Avoid looking like a walking advertisement this summer, and try a solid-colored v-neck t-shirt instead, or stick to collared short-sleeves for something a bit more dressy.

Wearing pseudo dress shoes with a suit - I see a lot of guys who have an awesome suit, and then ruin it with ugly work-type boots . Or they wear a pair of black shoes that are something like a hybrid between sneakers and dress shoes. These types of footwear ruin the rest of the outfit. The quality of your shoes should match the rest of your outfit quality.

An undershirt is just that - an undershirt - An undershirt’s purpose is to absorb the sweat, dirt, and body oils that we all inevitably secrete, and prevent stains on your dress shirts. The name explains their purpose. It’s not meant to be worn as an actual shirt by itself, so avoid this fashion mistake and call your buddies out on it when you can.

Socks and Underwear! Guys, if you want to look sexy for your woman, please, take the socks off first (yep, it's right up there with sandals and socks)! Nothing looks more unappealing than a man in underwear wearing socks (no matter the color).

Please feel free to add a few of your own....and of course we will do the ladies version of these fashion mistakes in the future as well.

Get Oprah’s Glam Style - 9 Fashion Tips For Plus Size Women

Five days per week from your flat screen TV and once per month on neighborhood newsstands, Oprah Winfrey appears perfectly styled from head to toe. Occasionally for Red Carpet appearances, and no matter what her size, Oprah herself is decked out from in perfect glamorous and form-flattering style. Want to transform Oprah’s glamorous look into a style you can wear for Ladies Night, Date Night, or Special Occasions?

Enter resident Oprah Show fashion expert Adam Glassman to your style rescue! Glassman is personally responsible for the executive decision to use real women within O magazine’s fashion spreads and maintains involvement in all aspects of O’s monthly cover shoots. Most recently, he has worked with fashion maven Sarah Jessica Parker on the debut of her new clothing line “Bitten.”

Here are 9 tips on how to work with (not against) plus sized curves:

•  Dress for the size you are-not what you want to be or once were! Work with what you have! Own it.
•  Dress from the inside out. A well-fitting bra and shapewear will camouflage all lumps and bumps.
•  Clothes should skim your body, not cling to it! Think high-waist, wide trousers, and A-line or flared skirts.
•  Don’t cover your curves! Big clothes on big bodies only make you look bigger. 
• Skirts should end just before or under the kneecap. Your legs will look longer.
•  Shorter, fitted jackets will also flatter your legs-and waist.
•  Avoid elasticized waistbands. They might be comfortable, but they add bulk to your midsection.
•  Keep necklines open. A deep V- or scoop neck lengthens your neck.
•  A dress with a belt will cinch you in, focusing attention on your smaller waist.
•  Wide feet need to be counterbalanced with wide heels. A thinner heel only draws attention to your wider foot.

These plus size style tips are great guidelines to follow. Here’s a few more suggestions add to the list: DO try skirts that are designed to hit right at knee length, like the plus size pencil skirts. Also try secretary dresses made especially for plus size women. The built-in belt does wonders for creating the hourglass shape by accentuating the waistline!

Men prefer average sized women over fashion models and Playboy centrefolds, claim scientists

By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent

Published: 7:00AM BST 11 Jun 2009

Men prefer average sized women over fashion models and Playboy centrefolds such as Pamela Anderson, claim scientists Photo: GETTY

Researchers found that men preferred the shape of ordinary women, equivalent to dress size 14, than so-called super-attractive models, according to a study that compared the body shapes of ordinary women, Playboy centerfolds, models from the 1920s and 1990s and glamour girls.

Professor Rob Brooks at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues, asked 100 male students to judge the attractiveness of 201 line drawings of female torsos with different hip, waist and shoulder measurements.

They discovered that men preferred the average body size of women aged 25 to 44 to so-called "superattractive models".

"The orthodoxy says that you will be attractive with a certain waist-hip ratio no matter how the rest of your body varies," Prof Brooks told the New Scientist. "Our study shows this is not the case,".

When compared with groups of real women, including Playboy centrefolds, Australian escorts advertising on the internet and average Australian women between the ages of 25 and 44, the latter group most closely matched the preferred body shape.

That is equivalent to a size 14 dress, or 36-28-38 and 5ft 4in tall, the average size of women in both Australia and Britain.

And, you can find all of these sizes and great fashions at WiseSize!
