Clothing lifestyle choices
We live in a world of fashion experts, in spite of the difficult economic times, fashion continues to get into the hearts and minds of those who want to feel special. It is an interesting time as the market for designer clothing has taken on a new standard despite a succession of failed celebrity ventures into designing ranges.
Checked and striped shirts, rugger and polo shirts
With so many of our top celebrities providing our immediate fashion choices, we need to challenge the fashion norms and ideals that exist around us. Fashion's evolving styles have always offered colours and combinations but are often lacking suave style. Mens casual shirts have been a staple fashion choice for over sixty years. Checked and striped shirts, rugger and polo shirts they will be around for many years to come too.
In today's ever-changing fashion world, having the flexibility to wear clothes according to choice rather than situation also means people need more guidance. Pick the wrong style and it can be mistaken for pretentiousness but knitwear items have re-appeared and so have men's tartan trousers and blazers.
Preppy styles are responsible for much of the influences that exist in our clothing. Women are wearing red military jackets with crew dresses and men opt for a casual blazers with denim and a crew neck sweater.
We accept that colours and collar sizes changed in the seventies, now, when a men wears denim, it is often accompanied with a smart casual blazer, fitted shirts, lambswool sweaters and brogues. Fashions isn't the sole domain of the celebrity, but clearly from recent publicity shots, celebrity culture uses fashion to re-ignite careers. Once perceived as superficial, image conscious people are becoming valued members of society.
Preppy Fashions, Red Jackets and Tartan Blazers
This is why we should have preppy fashions in our wardrobe. It reflects an image of casual comfort, and the individual has a subtle style which can be incorporated into a sophisticated lifestyle choice. There is a saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and preppy is a look that is catching on amongst the younger generation. Younger people are more familiar with rugger and polo shirts and checked and tartan blazers than in the fifties when preppy clothing was championed by the Harvard elite.
Whether it is your favoured lifestyle choice or not, the leisure wear ranges in preppy colours gives the right first impression everytime. We have all been conservative in our fashion choices this century, however, it is expected that individual choices will lift the lid on this and bring preppy fashions into our daily lives.
If preppy fashions suit your lifestyle, have a look at the range of clothing at Gant UK Online.
