  • Looking fabulous this Yuletide

    Looking fabulous this Yuletide

    THIS certainly is the time of year when celebration is uppermost on the agenda. It is indeed the best time to look good and fabulous. Interestingly, middle-aged men and women today are becoming more and more interested in fashion and style. This trend has been sparked by the growing number of advertising campaigns for men and women fashion magazines that encourage them to be more conscious about fashion and style.

    As a result, suits, designer watches, cool shoes, luxury skincare products, and basic makeup have been very popular for 50-something men. Old is the new, and with that, 50 is the new 30. This only applies, however, if you were a very good boy way back in your younger years. If you took good care of your health by staying fit, ate the right food, knew what moisturisers are for, and maintained an open and fresh attitude to the world, you should be looking sizzling hot by now. If you continue taking good care of yourself, you’ll continue to have that “certified hottie” label by the time you’re a grandpa. Fashion is not about numbers.

    Forget about your age. Sure, there are clothes tailor-made for young guys, but fashion is all about your body shape and what works for you to maintain a unique modern look. If you have a killer V-body, which at age 50 is so darn hot, wear something that looks good for an athletic physique. As you mature, your style must be sleeker, more sophisticated, and less fussy. Don’t be lost, think about Hugo Boss. If you don’t have the budget for designer clothing, get an inspiration from the design and look for less expensive interpretation of similar styles. It is recommended that you buy fewer but better pieces each season

  • Ties with classic effect

    Ties with classic effect

    HAVE you ever wondered why most of the men prefer to wear designer ties at workplace? Match a stylish and plain shirt with silk ties and all of a sudden you will become the sharpest person at the office. It is extremely important to look professional at your place and this is where the need of fashion ties comes into the forefront.

    It’s no secret that the colour of tie one chooses can have a dramatic effect on their overall appearance. Regular tutorials about how to properly pair specific necktie colours and patterns with various ensembles will help tie wearers to dress to impress.

    Ties for men are a great way to achieve the professional look always desired by them. They can enhance their professional look in a considerable way by simply wearing a tie. Most of us regard fashion ties as merely part of an inherited tradition. The business leaders have started the trend of wearing men’s ties and the young executives will step into their shoes and follow suit. Men wear ties at workplace as it is the part of their work culture. The ties worn by you show the essence of your personality.

    Men usually wear silk ties with suits. While wearing a sport coat, you can wear cotton and knit ties because they’re more casual. Even a neck tie is an essential part of corporate culture. It’s a fabulous idea to keep more than one designer ties with you at the work place just in case you have an unplanned meeting that comes up.

    Kunle Olokesusi changes gear

    KUNLE Olokesusi, aka Gaslak, the son of the incumbent Registrar of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN), Reverend Deji Olokesusi, has changed gear. The fast-rising hip-hop act has dumped the music genre, after his exploits as hip-hop act for many years, for gospel.

    The NIMN Registrar feted family, friends and music lovers at the ancient city of Ibadan last weekend to unveil his son’s maiden gospel album, My Time, to signify the turning point in his music career.

    Interestingly, one of the ways the former hip-hop singer intends to carve a niche for himself is by making his own brand of gospel music unique.

    The Ise Ekiti-born Electrical and Electronics graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka had gone to a music school and studied sax, hence his decision to make the music afro.

    Among those who graced the event was Mrs. Abosede Adedibu, wife of the late strongman of Ibadan politics, Lamidi Adedibu.
