Whether we like to admit it or not, the current trend for "bigger is better", particularly when it refers to the diamond engagement rings worn by celebrities, is having an impact on what we are buying.According to Celeste Ohrens, from New York Diamond Traders, "In the six months following J.Lo's engagement to Ben Affleck, we sold more pink diamonds than we'd sold in the previous six years!".And despite the fact that THAT engagement ring has been replaced with another equally stunning jewel, copies of J.Lo's six-carat pink diamond are still selling well at many Internet jewelers.When Marilyn Monroe breathlessly purred "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" (as if we didn't already know!), I have no doubt women everywhere secretly coveted the baubles Ms Monroe wore, but such flamboyant displays of excess would have offended the sensibilities of any self-respecting 1950s homemaker.Not so nowadays.We've come to expect the ultimate in quality and quantity, and if that equates to wearing a 3-carat diamond ring similar to that worn by our favorite celebrity, more power to us!Whether celebrities are seen as the arbiters or slaves to all that is considered stylish, the engagement rings gracing the left hand of such stars as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Madonna and Ashley Judd attest to the fact that their choice of ring design is influencing (or is influenced by) current trends.Jewelers like David Feinstein from Feinstein & Co, Boston, say "The hottest look in engagement rings at the moment is the revival of antique cut diamonds and we are trying desperately to meet demand", making Catherine Zeta-Jones's antique-style 10-carat marquise-cut diamond ring, Madonna's 3-stone Edwardian-style ring and Ashley Judd's antique pave-set diamond ring hot favorites when it comes to replication.The size of the diamond is also influencing current styles, and according to the Diamond Information Center, the traditional one carat solitaire diamond engagement ring has now grown to three and four carats.One only had to witness the jaw dropping display of jewels at this year's Oscars - some $40 million worth - to reinforce the notion that in the minds of most celebrities "bigger is better".Never mind that their cherished booty had to be returned to the vaults from whence they came next morning.But our ever-increasing fascination with all things "bling" begs the question "What about the poor sucker who has to PAY for this excess?" The traditional measurement for any would-be suitor to determine how much he should be willing to part with for the engagement ring was arbitrarily set at three months's salary, which is fine if he's earning a healthy six-figure salary.But try telling Joe Schmo, whose monthly budget doesn't extend much beyond the local Thai take-out, that he's up for what could be many thousands of dollars, and you'll see his face (not to mention his wallet) crumble.Which brings me to my final point.The value of your engagement ring is not simply measured in monetary terms.Nor is it measured by whether your best friend's diamond is bigger, or whiter, or more extravagant.And it's certainly not measured by whether it looks just like J.Lo's most recent accessory (and I mean the ring, not the husband!).Your engagement ring is a measure of the value of your relationship and what it means to both of you, now and in the future.It's a symbol of all that the two of you share, whether you're wearing a 2-carat rock or a dime-store copy.Just remember, your local jeweler is probably a whiz at re-modelling, so you can always upgrade later!
So where is the best shopping in Sydney? That's the question we are always asking ourselves - and at the moment, the answer has to be that one of the hottest spots is Chatswood in the northern Sydney suburbs.Just 10 kilometers north of the city, Chatswood is fast becoming that destination for all the best Australian brands and designers.Chatswood is home to two major shopping centres - Chatswood Chase and Westfield Chatswood - both anchored by different major department stores, but with some duplication in terms of shops between the two.Always known for being a great place for higher end brands, Chatswood Chase has recently undergone a major renovation bringing a number of new stores.Amongst those now open are Fleur Wood, Sass and Bide, Bettina Liano and Witchery.An entire new wing of the centre has opened to house these brands - along with many others and a host of great cafes to rest in between shopping.Chatswood Chase is anchored by the David Jones department store.Amongst the centre's other major shops are Harvey Norman (for all your electrical needs), Kmart (great for baby wear) and Coles Supermarkets.Other popular shopping draw cards include the Apple Store, Country Road, Hugo Boss and Saba.Down the road from Chatswood Chase is Westfield Chastwood.Anchored by the Myer department store, this centre is also full of great shops including Forever New, Witchery, Glue Store and G-Star.Whilst the centre hasn't been as recently updated like Chatswood Chase, it's definitely worth a visit.Between Chatswood Chase and Westfield Chatswood, the suburb of Chatswood offers a lot for all shoppers looking for Sydney's best shopping.Shoppers that traditionally went to Bondi Junction or stayed in Sydney city are now finding that Chatswood offers a convenient, all in one shopping destination and great place to shop.With more and more brands moving to the centres, there are less and less reasons for locals to go into the city!Getting to Chatswood is really easy.Catch any train on the North Shore Line from Sydney to Chatswood Station, which will take approximately 25 minutes.By car, drive up Pacific Highway and follow the signs when you hit the Chatswood shopping precinct - but note that parking can be difficult in the area especially in peak shopping periods.So when you are next in shopping in Sydney, give Chatswood Chase and Westfield Chatswood a try for the best Australian designers and fashion brands.
Women and fashion has a deep relation.Every famous dress is bound to go through detailed review about its cuts, colour, fits and looks.It surely generates mix reviews.There are very few people who can mix and match their dress properly to invite only positive reviews about it.One mistake which usually gets repeated by women in mixing and matching the garments is the choice of blouses and tops.Choosing a long dress is simple than matching blouses and tops for skirts, minis and denims.A simple mistake even in the colour choice is enough to kill the purpose of looking elegant.Let us take a look at what all could go wrong in the decision of buying womens blouses, tops and shrugs.Colour Choice. Take an example of the colour blue as blue has many shades to it.The lightest is sky blue and the darkest is near to purple, in between comes sea blue, navy blue etc.The colour blue depicts style and royalty at times.But whether you will be able to carry the luxurious style depends on the shade of blue you have chosen for yourself irrespective of the fact that blue look well in every shade, because if a colour is popular it does not mean that it will suit you too.Same goes true with other colours like green and black.Design. Your overall face and body size is an important factor in deciding the design of the blouses and shrugs which will suit you.For example, neckline is an important feature which distinguishes one dress from another.Neckline has two important aspects; one is width and another depth.Necklines can be deep or shallow.The necklines in womens blouses highlight neck and shoulder and create a different visual impression.It can add pounds or even make you look thin by complimenting your body frame.Another designing aspect to be noticed is the sleeves in womens blouses and shrugs.Options are many from sleeveless, quarter sleeve to full sleeve.Short sleeved can be worn on all types of occasions but for a trendy look at a party or occasion, carry something as per your taste.Changing one of the option, changes your style statement altogether.Comfort. Would you like to follow the latest trend by compromising your comfort level or would you love to wear a comfortable dress and make an impression with self styling? Off course, the second option is better.It is good to follow the trend but not at the cost of discomforting one self.In womens blouses and shrugs, styles keep on changing, you need to pick and carry along with the one which looks good on you and at the same time, give you easiness in carrying it.Accessories. While selecting the womens shrugs, we cannot overlook the accessories attached to it.The simplest one is the belt we will use on our denims and skirts to tuck the blouses.Another is the clutch we match with the dress.Accessories, if selected and used carefully can take away the attention from the minor problems with choosing the blouses and tops, if any.By keeping the small things in mind while making dress purchases, you can save yourself from lot of unwanted criticism.

Those interested in online discount fashion stores will be interested to hear that the model and actress Megan Gale has been given a top TV job for Foxtel.The online discount fashion stores will be delighted to learn that Ms Gale has won the coveted role of front woman for Project Runway Australia; her first major fashion TV role.It was reported in the media that the plum job as anchor for Project Runway Australia will go some way to make up for the breakdown of her relationship with comic Andy Lee.The pair had been together for over four years.Ms Gale replaces Project Runway's former host, Kristy Hinze, who is said to be returning to University and settling down with husband Kim Clark.After spell as a top model, Ms Gale scaled down her activities on the catwalk to pursue a career in acting and her new bosses hope she will raise the viewing figures for the ever popular franchise.There's also been a change in the show's judging panel, with rumours that designer Jayson Brunsdon - who's closely aligned with Myer - is likely to be left out in favour of Alex Perry.It's also expected that he will still be in place on Australia's Next Top Model which is shortly to start production again.Ms Gale was born in Perth in 1975 and is part Maori, and started professional modelling when she was 18, coming first in regional competition.She then moved to Sydney and following a number of years as a model, won a part in a number of advertisements for Vodafone Italy (used to be called Omnitel) from around 1999 to 2006.The Italian connection continued when she was chosen by the Australian Tourist Commission to be their face in Italy in a 2003 campaign.Her career as a model has included work for many Australian and indeed Italian designers.Names such as Sass & Bide, Colette Dinnigan and Gianfranco have all used her services as a model to show off their collections.But she is perhaps best known as a the face of David Jones, the upmarket Australian department store.She began in 2001 and used a David Jones winter collection show in Sydney in 2008 to announce her retirement from modelling.She remains a David Jones Brand Ambassador.She has also appeared in a number of mostly Italian movies, including Stregata Dalla Luna, Bodyguards, Vacanze di Natale and Guardie del Corpo.Whether she focuses on her new television career, or uses it a stepping stone remains to be seen, but online discount fashion stores aficionados will undoubtedly keep an eye on her future career in the media.But one thing is for certain, the name of Megan Gale will remain up there for some years to come.

Socks do not always receive the attention they deserve when putting together an outfit.For most men, socks are considered unimportant as they are less visible than other garments.Whilst this is true, an ill conceived pair of socks can ruin an otherwise well thought out outfit.In addition, socks can offer a great opportunity to subtly add pattern and colour.Socks need to be considered not only in visual terms, but also with respect to comfort and quality.In this article I will compare the leading designer sock brands for men on the basis of choice, quality, comfort, innovation and fashion.The brands I will be looking at are; Falke, Pantherella, Burlington, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Paul Smith, Duchamp-London and Ted Baker.An important distinction needs to be made between these brands i.E.Whether they are sock specialists (Falke, Pantherella etc.) or fashion brands that manufacture a range of socks (Ted Baker, Paul Smith, Armani etc).There are several differences, apart from the fact that sock specialists offer a larger range.Most fashion brands manufacture men's socks in only one size, known as 'one size fits all'.On the other hand, sock specialists usually offer 3 different sizes; 5.5-8, 8.5-11, 11.5-14.Whilst it is more comfortable to wear a sock designed to fit your foot size, the fashion brands offer the chance to buy into a big brand name.In fact, sock specialist never put their logo on the outside of the sock, whilst designer brands usually do (such as the Armani eagle or Calvin Klein 'CK').Pantherella and Falke have a vast range of men's socks, covering all aspects of functionality from business to casual to sports.Within each category they offer plain fabrics in many colours, as well as fashion patterns such as stripes and argyle.In plain coloured socks, they also offer variations in fabric such as plain cotton, ribbed cotton, wool and cashmere.Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani also offer quite a diverse range, from plain cottons to stripes.The other brands have a more niche range, offering high fashion socks that adhere closely to the brand's design principles (e.G.Paul Smith's renowned stripe).In terms of quality all the designer brands use high quality fabrics in their men's socks, blended for durability.Falke go that extra mile in manufacturing hard wearing socks, and have developed a reputation throughout Europe.All socks are manufactured in Germany, and have a reinforced heel and toe (and in some cases additional stress zones).They are also the experts in using new technology such as using silver ions for freshness, anti-bacterial cotton and climate regulating fabrics.Falke have recently developed an ergonomic comfort system which has a patented ergonomically shaped sole area for an optimum fit.A combination of natural and functional fibres provides a breathable climate, and an innovative cushioning applied to the inside of the sole adds extra comfort.When it comes to fashion socks that are about exciting colour and pattern, the fashion brands come into their own.Whilst Falke manufactures fashion stripes and argyles, it is only a small percentage of their overall range.Having said that, they offer some bold and exciting colours in their plain men's socks, such as; magenta, blueberry, lime green, wine and 'Swedish Blue'.Pantherella focus more on fashion, and are responsible for the collection of Richard James socks.Duchamp-London, a premium men's accessories brand, produce the most striking men's socks in both pattern and colour.They are particularly well known for their Harlequin pattern (also used in their cufflinks), which is made up of bold stripes that are divided into chequered squares.Ted Baker is famous for its quirky sense of humour, which shows through in their men's socks via playful patterns that experiment with the conventional stripe and spot.Emporio Armani is a truly refined brand and focuses mainly on muted colours and subtle patterns, all decorated with the highly distinctive eagle logo in a contrasting colour.For an argyle sock, Burlington is the most well known and respected.Now owned and manufactured by Falke, they are high quality socks offering huge choice in vibrant colour combinations.In conclusion, if you are looking for a technical, well fitting sock then sock specialist brands such as Falke offer the best solution.On the other hand, many fashion houses such as Paul Smith provide socks that will add bold and dynamic colour to your casual and formal wear.
I think I had imagined Promise Keepers to be some kind of overblown, cringey, Christian men's support group; or one of those things you went to if you were having some trouble with your marriage.I had also lumped it into the whole mega church phenomena; partly correctly, partly incorrectly as it turns out.Anyway, it was not something I imagined myself getting involved in, but a friend twisted my arm enough to get me along to their recent event.There were some things that didn't quite gel with me, like the "rock concert" music thing, however the quality of speakers did make the day worthwhile.Mostly good sound, biblical ministry to men, on Christian life and practical family related topics.For example, I enjoyed the ministry by Benny Tan, who spoke about his childhood in Malaysia where he was "purchased as an insurance policy" against old age by a barren couple, who later did have their own child after which he became kind of an unwanted nuisance .The process of God healing the deep wounds of childhood and giving him love, assurance, ability to forgive and the inner strength needed to be active in the ministry was a touching story with valuable lessons for all.Perhaps the most insightful ministry of the day was that of David Murrow, author of the book "Why Men Hate Going To Church".Here are some figures from the US that he mentioned..Average church is only 39% male.Young men aged 18-25 account for only 3%.25% of married woman in church are there without their husbands.This is particularly interesting when you realize that the same imbalance is NOT the case for any of the other world religions.What is going on? Well, he started by talking about the kinds of movies that men and woman like.The theme in the men's favorite movies is usually something to do with a man saving the world against impossible odds.Woman's favorite movies however are usually more about them finding a relationship with a man who loves them.He pointed out that the focus of a much preaching today is to "come and have a personal relationship with Jesus, who loves you".While valid at a certain level, it is essentially tuned to the feminine psyche.However, the focus in the early church was in effect, "We need to save the world against impossible odds, as well as face almost certain danger along the way".This is a much more active, much more masculine message.He then described how so many aspects of church are essentially feminine and do not appeal to guys.He commented that the whole polarity needs to move from feminine to masculine, reasoning that if you get the men you get everyone, men woman and children.And part of that argument was saying that woman are comfortable with the masculine, but men are not comfortable with the feminine.A photo of a woman using a skill saw, as opposed to him carrying his wife's handbag in a store was enough to demonstrate the truth of that.Essentially I believe he was onto something here, though the direction it ended up taking in his speech, and in Promise Keepers itself, seemed cosmetic and worldly.After a while I got the idea that making church masculine was about changing the decor, changing the music, allowing blokishness in church, playing video clips of war movies, and so on.All just bringing worldly, and often stupid, expressions of masculinity into the church.For me this whole issue is not about having a barbeque with only meat, or men playing Laser Strike, but it is about reviving the big dangerous masculine challenge of the "radical Christian life".Overall I also also felt that he may have missed a related issue; that modern church is just too artificial.Whether orientated to the feminine or masculine, sitting in an air conditioned building isn't a living, vital or challenging place to connect with God.I suspect the gender balance would swing pretty quickly if, for instance, we were a persecuted church meeting in a forest.Now of course, Promise Keepers wouldn't be Promise Keepers if it didn't include talks about sex.To be fair, I think most men could benefit from the wise biblical counsel that came out about sex, marriage, children and family dynamics.It did remind me that a lot of Christians are really struggling in their relationship with their children, especially teenagers, and often in their relationship with their spouses too.Woman seem to often take a great deal of interest in all these issues, and it's beneficial for men to take some interest too, even if it's not the kind of focus we're wired with.The issue of addiction to pornography was big, which is not hard to understand.We live in a culture full of sexual imagery which connects with very deep and instinctual drives in men, and that is added to now with easy and anonymous access to Internet pornography.It was estimated that at least 50% of Christian men were struggling with some degree of pornography addiction.Someone spoke of it as an underground weed that is destroying the strength of men in the church (and destroying marriages and children too).I absolutely believe this is correct.While there were a many suggestions made, personally I am a great believer in Internet access that is filtered at the source (the ISP).Accountability programs and filtering software loaded on a PC can be got around, but if you hook up to a filtered Internet service you are simply removing yourself from the source of temptation.An additional reason is that, even if you yourself aren't tempted in this area, you should be aware that porn is so pervasive online sometimes it can be stumbled on inadvertently.If you have children and you don't have filtered Internet, then I'm going to be so bold as to rebuke your serious lack of wisdom in this area - please, just get it.1.OK, now I've held back on talking about the one thing that I found absolutely appalling about this Promise Keepers, because there were things that were good and I didn't want to tarnish that.The unfortunate theme was a terrible statement as to an almost ubiquitous misunderstanding in the modern Church to do with the role of Christianity in the world.If I hadn't already paid, and promised a friend that I'd be there, I probably would have turned away from the door totally disgusted at the presence of armored personnel carriers, a howitzer, and a variety of other military gear.I knew the slogan for the event was "leave no man behind", borrowed presumably from the US army rangers motto, but I did not realize how far the military theme would be taken in the event.The presenters wore military uniforms and dog tags, and military equipment and camouflage was strewn all over the stage area.Even worse, they played a number of clips from completely worldly war videos that espoused schmaltzy Hollywood heroic values that, while relating in a vague way to Christian values, were actually a perversion of them.The early church would have nothing to do with fighting wars.They were "wise as serpents but harmless as doves".(Matthew 10.16).How has it happened that most of the Christian church has completely lost sight of the fact that we are under a new covenant? (Hebrews 8.13).The shift in thinking about war from the old to the new covenant is expressed clearly in Jesus teaching when he says..You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be the sons of your father in heaven.(Matthew 5.43-45).Under the old covenant God was dealing with men in the flesh, but in the new he is dealing with the new man in the spirit.We are not meant to fight for earthly territory, or even for our own peace, but we are called to consider ourselves as sheep for the slaughter (Romans 8.36) because we do not seek an earthly city, but a heavenly one (Hebrews 13.14).We are to strive to reach the world with the gospel through the display of selfless love and faith, not to try and reach it the crusader way, through the sword or these days the barrel of a gun.Yes, certainly Jesus is the LION as well as the LAMB, and I believe that as men we need to 'put on the lion of the tribe of Judah'.As Christian men we need to put a certain masculine strength and courage, but it is not the courage to kill, it is the courage to save, and to endure hardship along the way.I fear that war now seems like the only true masculine adventure left and those who are seeking to revive male strength in a church that long ago compromised with the world on the issue of war, now end up promoting something that is of the devil.One of the video clips shown had a very inappropriate line by Mel Gibson saying something like 'And Lord, please disregard our enemies heathen prayers and help us blow them to hell'.Unbelievably inappropriate! Promise Keepers even had army recruiters on hand so that attendees could actually join the army, perhaps go to somewhere like Afghanistan, and literally blow the heathen to hell.But it's all so weird.I just can't see Paul the apostle, or Peter or John, running around with guns and hand grenades.They would have wanted to love and serve the heathen, yes even the Muslims.They would have wanted to get right in amongst them at peril to themselves and speak to them about how they could be saved.This deception to do with war is a terrible one, and I foresee a day when Christian's will mistakenly fight wars that will bring the beast of Revelation 13 into power.They will kill to establish the evil empire and they will die for the glory of Satan.They will stand before God with blood on their hands wearing only the filthy rags of Christian deception.What a terrible thing this will be; I just pray that many will see the truth and be led out of this darkness that has infiltrated the Christian community.
Companies are made up of many different components all of which help the company evolve and develop.First, there is the actual product or service being offered which is pivotal to the success of the company.Other important components include the nature of the business, at what market/customer base the product/service is being aimed at, and the people that work for the business.All of these are an essential part of any business but there is also one element that needs to be added too - the brand logo.Every big brand has a logo attached to it.Nike has its tick, Audi has 4 hoops in a row slightly overlapping each other and the Leo Diamond collection has a picture of a lion on it.Emporio Armani also has a very distinctive logo too.The Emporio Armani logo is one of an eagle that is looking to the right as you look at it.It is very small but very recognisable and anyone that knows about the brands and brand logos will be able to identify it straight away.A logo for a brand is extremely important as it can be added to a piece of merchandise and can represent that piece of merchandise forever.Taking the Emporio Armani logo as an example, when someone wears an Emporio Armani watch, anyone that knows what the logo looks like will instantly be able to recognise it.This is very important as they can comment about the logo and initiate a conversation as a result.They can also inform others about the logo that are not aware of it and in turn can help build the brand image and inform others as to how fashionable the brand is.A logo can also define quality.Logos such as Emporio Armani and others including Nike, Audi and Leo Diamond, are all seen to be of very high quality.If someone was to buy a second hand product and they knew that the product had a logo on it that they perceived to be high quality, they would much more likely buy it than if it had a logo that they perceived to be of a lesser quality.This goes to show how important a logo is and how much it supports a brand.The Emporio Armani logo is very distinctive and is very important in defining a brand.It makes it easier for people to associate with the brand and people are therefore more likely to buy it.

Socks do not always receive the attention they deserve when putting together an outfit.For most men, socks are considered unimportant as they are less visible than other garments.Whilst this is true, an ill conceived pair of socks can ruin an otherwise well thought out outfit.In addition, socks can offer a great opportunity to subtly add pattern and colour.Socks need to be considered not only in visual terms, but also with respect to comfort and quality.In this article I will compare the leading designer sock brands for men on the basis of choice, quality, comfort, innovation and fashion.The brands I will be looking at are; Falke, Pantherella, Burlington, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Paul Smith, Duchamp-London and Ted Baker.An important distinction needs to be made between these brands i.E.Whether they are sock specialists (Falke, Pantherella etc.) or fashion brands that manufacture a range of socks (Ted Baker, Paul Smith, Armani etc).There are several differences, apart from the fact that sock specialists offer a larger range.Most fashion brands manufacture men's socks in only one size, known as 'one size fits all'.On the other hand, sock specialists usually offer 3 different sizes; 5.5-8, 8.5-11, 11.5-14.Whilst it is more comfortable to wear a sock designed to fit your foot size, the fashion brands offer the chance to buy into a big brand name.In fact, sock specialist never put their logo on the outside of the sock, whilst designer brands usually do (such as the Armani eagle or Calvin Klein 'CK').Pantherella and Falke have a vast range of men's socks, covering all aspects of functionality from business to casual to sports.Within each category they offer plain fabrics in many colours, as well as fashion patterns such as stripes and argyle.In plain coloured socks, they also offer variations in fabric such as plain cotton, ribbed cotton, wool and cashmere.Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani also offer quite a diverse range, from plain cottons to stripes.The other brands have a more niche range, offering high fashion socks that adhere closely to the brand's design principles (e.G.Paul Smith's renowned stripe).In terms of quality all the designer brands use high quality fabrics in their men's socks, blended for durability.Falke go that extra mile in manufacturing hard wearing socks, and have developed a reputation throughout Europe.All socks are manufactured in Germany, and have a reinforced heel and toe (and in some cases additional stress zones).They are also the experts in using new technology such as using silver ions for freshness, anti-bacterial cotton and climate regulating fabrics.Falke have recently developed an ergonomic comfort system which has a patented ergonomically shaped sole area for an optimum fit.A combination of natural and functional fibres provides a breathable climate, and an innovative cushioning applied to the inside of the sole adds extra comfort.When it comes to fashion socks that are about exciting colour and pattern, the fashion brands come into their own.Whilst Falke manufactures fashion stripes and argyles, it is only a small percentage of their overall range.Having said that, they offer some bold and exciting colours in their plain men's socks, such as; magenta, blueberry, lime green, wine and 'Swedish Blue'.Pantherella focus more on fashion, and are responsible for the collection of Richard James socks.Duchamp-London, a premium men's accessories brand, produce the most striking men's socks in both pattern and colour.They are particularly well known for their Harlequin pattern (also used in their cufflinks), which is made up of bold stripes that are divided into chequered squares.Ted Baker is famous for its quirky sense of humour, which shows through in their men's socks via playful patterns that experiment with the conventional stripe and spot.Emporio Armani is a truly refined brand and focuses mainly on muted colours and subtle patterns, all decorated with the highly distinctive eagle logo in a contrasting colour.For an argyle sock, Burlington is the most well known and respected.Now owned and manufactured by Falke, they are high quality socks offering huge choice in vibrant colour combinations.In conclusion, if you are looking for a technical, well fitting sock then sock specialist brands such as Falke offer the best solution.On the other hand, many fashion houses such as Paul Smith provide socks that will add bold and dynamic colour to your casual and formal wear.
Since the dawn of time people have been wearing, I wouldn't say hats, but head coverings.Reaching back as early as primitive man, animal skins have been used to protect the head against the elements and to protect against falling objects or head injuries, these could be considered the earliest forms of men's hats.As time progresses, changes and alterations are made to everything in order to keep them up to date or improve the concept, the humble men's hat is no different to this.As times pass the hat has taken on many roles, for example protective Roman helmets made of Bronze, these weren't only used for protective purposes but also to emphasise rank and importance as well as define the differences between legions, there were over 30 different types of helmet used during Roman rule, each helmet was made to fit a purpose from heavy infantry to foot soldier.It was during the 14th and 15th century that we started wearing hats as an accessory, men more so than women, men's hats became an important fashion accessory and since those times the trend has just continued to grow.Hats were made from various materials, such as leather, felt, silk, velvet and taffeta.Tricorne hats of the 17th and 18th century, three cornered hats which were worn as part of naval and military dress, these hats had their advantages, worn usually with one point facing forwards and the others over the shoulders, the Tricorne hat would effectively become guttering for the head, by keeping rain off the face.Tricorne hats were also worn by civilians, over a period of time they became quite flamboyant in appearance, with the introduction of lace trimmings and feathers, as depicted in paintings of Charles the 2nd.The Tricorne became redundant just before the French Revolution, at which time, hats became popular, the Tricorne is still worn today by the lord mayor of London, it is also worn by the Chelsea pensioners.It wasn't until the 18th century that women's hats became fashionable like men's, until this period it was only the well to do middle or upper class women who wore hats, and these were not unlike those worn by men.It is mainly in the last couple of hundred years that the diversity of hats that we know today has been prevalent.Men's hats have seen the comings and goings of the Top Hat, the Bowler, the Trilby, Boater, Fedora and Panama to name a few.The trilby and fedora especially even nowadays seem to drift in and out of fashion, hat fashion seems to be somewhat dictated by celebrities, for example in the past few years the beanie hat became popular after David Beckham wore one in a promotion, the fedora increased in popularity with the release of the Indiana Jones films but also more recently when the Fedora started being worn by pop stars, this fashion also extended to women.There is no set fashion to men's hats these days; it all seems to boil down to personal preference and seasonal wear.Hats today for both men and women are accessories, usually worn to complete an outfit, style or look.Winter men's hats include the deerstalker, originally worn for hunting in harsh conditions, warmth being the main aim, trapper hats (much similar to the deerstalker), trooper and some variations of military style hats.Summer head wear includes baseball caps (popular all year round, but not providing so much insulation and warmth as many alternatives), straw hats, bucket hats similar to those worn nowadays by fishing fanatics, which completely cover the head with a wide yet floppy brim which keeps sun out of the eyes, or the most simple style is the sun visor.Of course there are exceptions to the rules whereby we see some of the more traditional men's hats being worn; such an example might be wearing top hat and tails for a wedding or top hat with mourning dress.Necessity to fashion, rank and authority, aristocracy to democracy there has always been men's hats to reflect the genre or period, this is a tradition which will ultimately continue throughout time to come.
