Top 5 Essentials of Men’s Formal Wear


It’s time we are let go of that old cliché that holds men’s fashion to be boring and accept the fact that when carefully and rightfully blended, a man’s formal wear could appear as cozy and as elegant as they deserve to be.
Even if you are a believer in the saying, ‘know the rules and break some’, this does not apply to men’s fashion. Undeniably, all clothes must be worn bearing particular rules in mind, otherwise if broken; one could look messy and feel uncomfortable. Following the rules carefully gives one a good and attractive look and this is especially so when it comes to men’s formal clothing designed for particular events. One needs to bear in mind that whereas casual wear rules are flexible, formal clothes’ rules are much complicated and not easy to follow. Thus, the first thing one need to do is familiarize with is the basic procedures of mens formal clothing.

Top 5 Essentials of Men’s Formal Wear

  • 1st Rule:
When deciding which formal shirt to go for, a white shirt is always safe and goes along well with occassions that require wearing ties that are black or when one needs to attend an interview. However, this kind of shirt does not go along well with relaxed events. To avoid having a weary look, one could also go for a patterned shirt or even a multi-colored shirt. However, one thing that should be observed is that transparent shirts or even shirts that are translucent could make a man look shubby in a formal occasion.
  • 2nd Rule:
Be careful to pick a perfectly fitting shirt for yourself. You have the right to wear what you feel like, but this is quite different when it comes to official wear for formal or special functions. Further still, refrain yourself from wearing tight collared shirts. They often look messy and could easily choke you when worn with a tightly tied tie. Ensure you have a perfectly fitting collar and sleeve to enhance comfortableness.
  • 3rd Rule:
When all of the above rules are taken care of, then make sure all buttons in your shirt are fastened not forgetting the ones on the side of the sleeves. This way, your forearms will be safely protected from exposure through the unbuttoned part of the sleeve. In order to prevent the collar buttons from having an awkward look, one should always fasten them down.
  • 4th Rule:
Ones pants should always be well fititng and in case they are too long they should be hemmed since longer pants have the advantage of being alterated. One should also not put on buggy pants. Thus before buying them, one should ensure that they have a fitting waistline.
  • 5th Rule:
Your accessories should always compliment with one another. For instance, a black shoe can not go along with a belt that is brown and neither can a brown shoe go along with a belt that is black. Your colours should match and snickers should not be worn with attire that is formal. You should wear elegant shoes that compliment your formal attire in a good way.
A formal occasion requires socks that are particularry conservative meaning that they must be thin though not so thin and have enough lengh to cover the ankle when one crossess the legs. With all this said and done, you will be sure to appear classy, elegant and more so very comfortable in any formal occasion.

Michael Jackson's glove more precious than Albert Einstein's brain!

It was Michael Jackson magic at full force at the Icons and Idols auction, organized by Julien’s Auctions, in Beverly Hills. A single-studded glove worn by the late King of pop on his “Bad” tour in the late 1980’s sold for $330,000, whereas an X-ray of Albert Einstein’s brain managed to command a meagerly sum of $38,750.
According to Contactmusic,
The items, a fedora which sold for $72,000 and a glove which reached $330,000, were part of the star’s wardrobe for his ‘Bad’ tour in 1980s and were sold through Julien’s Auctions as part of their ‘Icons and Idols’ sale. A jacket signed by the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker - who died from acute Propofol intoxication aged 50 in June 2009 - was bought for $96,000.
While the Michael Jackson collection - featuring over 100 items from the star’s life and career including a custom-made costume for his friend and companion Bubbles the chimp - took centre stage at the auction in Beverly Hills, a number of other items generated huge interest at the sale. Late Beatles legend John Lennon’s gold-braided military jacket - made famous in an iconic 1966 Life magazine photo shoot - reached $240,000, exceeding its estimated word of $150,000 and $200,000. An X-ray of Albert Einstein’s brain went for $38,750, while a pair of Marilyn Monroe’s empty prescription bottles, sold for $18,750.
So now you know why Michael Jackson’s Bad era is considered so holy by his fans and followers. The result of this recent auction only strengthens the fact that Jacko was the greatest entertainer ever to live on this planet. Salute to the King of Pop!

Sole hair-woven portrait artist

Imagine your hair shaping into an incredible portrait! Sounds a little difficult to gulp down your throat, right. But, a 66-year-old has been doing this miracle for the last 54 years. Just five simple tools and a magnifying glass is all Zhang Dexuan requires to weave strands of human hair into stunning portraits. Slightly bigger than a fingernail, the portraits require weeks, sometimes months of work to achieve perfection.

How does this Chinese artist convert hair strands as thin as 0.5 mm into an artwork more than 10-cm-thick? Zhang first creates a blueprint more than 100 times larger and then selects the best hair stand to make the portrait. He then spends months weaving each individual strand of hair. This ancient art type demands breathe controlling, so that the delicate hair doesn’t break and this ingenious artist pulls it off quite gracefully.

Sole hair-woven portrait artist

On average, he ends up picking just one hair out of 10,000 examined strands. He has already weaved portraits of actor Jackie Chan, American president Barrack Obama and the Mona Lisa using this extraordinary art. Zhang claims he is the only hair weaving artist on Earth.

World Smallest Solar-Powered Sensor System

World Smallest Solar-Powered Sensor System


In a pioneering development at the University of Michigan, researchers have come up with a tiny solar-powered sensor that is capable of supplying almost continuous energy. The device consists of a processor, solar cells and a battery, all enclosed in a small frame, measuring just 2.5 by 3.5 by 1 millimeters. Using an industry-standard ARM Cortex-M3 processor, the system contains the lowest-powered commercial-class microcontroller. It consumes about 2,000 times less power in sleep mode than its most energy-efficient counterpart available does today.
This research, presented yesterday at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco has the potential to enable new biomedical implants as well as new devices to monitor buildings, bridges and homes. The new sensor has been designed to spend most of its time in sleep mode, waking briefly every few minutes to take measurements. Claims are that its total average power consumption is less than 1 nanowatt.
According to the developers, their method for managing power is the key innovation. The processor only needs about half of a volt to operate, but its low-voltage, thin-film Cymbet battery puts out close to 4 volts. The voltage, which is essentially the pressure of the electric current, must be reduced for the system to function most efficiently.
