Mens Dress Shirts
There is a difference between a sport shirt and a dress shirt for men. Just because it may look like a dress shirt does not mean that it is, a sport shirt will be more loosely fitted. Sport shirts can be long sleeved or short sleeved and have become increasingly popular because they can be worn with blazers, jeans, or under a v-neck sweater however they should not be treated as a proper dress shirt. A proper dress shirt is going to be more tailored and will be meant to be worn with a tie under a suit. Mens dress shirts also tend to be more expensive because the construction of them is more detailed and they are made of higher quality cottons. Here are some quick tips on how your dress shirt should fit:

  • Around the neck of the shirt it should be snug but you should still be able to fit two fingers inside.
  • The sleeve length should be about one inch above your wrist bone and this will allow about a quarter inch of the dress shirt to be seen from the sleeve of your suit.
  • Make sure the shirt does not pull uncomfortably across your chest.
  • Bend your arm and make sure that the sleeves are long enough so that they do not ride up your wrist when you move your arm.

Another thing to consider when choosing your dress shirt is the fact that most will shrink when washed so select a size that allows you a little room now for a good fit later.

Brad and Angelina have been working on the snake jewelry for over a year and it will finally be for sale in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai this week. The reason the duo decided on the snake theme for their jewelry is because Angelina was given a snake ring when she was pregnant with Shiloh and considers the snake to be a protector of her family. The jewelry line price range will start at $525 for a silver baby spoon. Other baby gifts in the collection include an eggcup, tooth box and picture frame. There will also be pendants and rings made from gold and micropavé diamonds, all featuring curving snakes.

Michael Boychuck, a celebrity hair stylist and owner of three of the nation’s most stylish salons gives his expert opinion on hair for this winter. Boychuck owns AMP at the Palms, COLOR at Caesars Palace, and PRIMP at Palms Place in Las Vegas. Stylists at his salons are beautifying their clients with browns and full bodied hair for the fall and winter seasons. “The key to gorgeous hair during the winter is to make it appear full, lush and shiny,” said Boychuck. “Colder weather will zap the moisture out of the hair cuticle, leaving it dry and lifeless.” He states that a great way to save hair this winter is with Keratin treatments which are also known as brazilian straightening. Boychuck recommends this because Keratin eliminates 99% of frizz and does not damage hair unlike other straightening products and services. The main trend in hair color this year will be rich shades of chocolate and mahogany which will make hair look healthier and shinier. Preferred hairstyle of ladies this year will be loose flowing waves. Some of his celebrity clientele are Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, Fergie, Jennie Garth, Willa Ford, Shannon Doherty, Kathy Hilton and Susan Anton. His salon Color was also named “Top Las Vegas Salon” by the Las Vegas Nightlife Network.
