When buttons just are not enough

It's a simple accessory that is often overlooked by the Indian man because we simply prefer to button up. Yet a cuff can make all the difference to your wardrobe.

Gone are the days when cufflinks were the norm for the rich and the powerful alone, and a stylish pair can quickly up your style score. The best part? They’re also available in a range of metals, designs and themes.

Samrat Zaveri, managing director of TBZ Nirmal Zaveri, believes that Indian men are becoming more fashionable at the work place, too. “Cufflinks aren’t a power statement anymore; they are more of a fashion statement. Any occasion requiring formal wear is an opportunity to make a tasteful and elegant statement with cufflinks,” he says.

Cufflinks added to your outfit for an important meeting, a cocktail party or even a dinner date can make a powerful statement about your personality and your fashion sense. 

“Designs are constantly changing to incorporate the latest trends. So for the Football World Cup, soccer ball design cufflinks were the rage. If you love golf, you can wear cufflinks designed as golf clubs,” says Kamlesh Hemdev,

Office wardrobe

You’re half asleep. You’re running out the door. You’re late for a meeting. Probably not the time you want to be perfecting your look. But remember: that’s the outfit you’ll be wearing when you ask for a pay rise. Plus if the worst happens, that’s what you’ll be wearing as you leave the office when you’re fired – and you’ll want to go out in style.

Trousers: It’s tempting to go for black as the safe option, but do it too often and you’ll look like you’re off to a funeral. You’re safe with dark blue and brown trousers in most seasons; plus a lot of the big brands are betting on camel as a good summer colour along with light blue and grey. If you’re feeling daring get on-trend with a gingham check or a thin pinstripe – check out Zegna’s pairing of charcoal and blue stripes.

Ties: If ties are the done thing at your workplace, it’s not a case of mix and match and cross your fingers. Buy your shirts and ties together and try picking two shades of the same colour. To really turn some heads take celebrated British designer Paul Smith’s advice and add a polka dot or stripe.

Shirts: Although trousers and jackets cost more, don’t splurge on them and skimp on shirts, since on tough days you’ll definitely be down to your shirtsleeves and that’s not a time to look sloppy. Stick to white on formal occasions, but a light blue or grey will look better when you’re without a jacket.

The big day: When you need to don a jacket for an important meeting, double breasted may be tempting to hide your paunch but can also look retro (and not in a good way). Use sparingly and stick to slim single-breasted suits to impress your seniors (See this year’s D&G collection for inspiration).

If you want to get promoted, you need to look like you’re moving up the ladder today. So even though a more casual wardrobe might be tolerated in the job you’re in now, you’ll need to smarten up your act in order to fall in line with those giving you the orders. Just try to avoid wearing exactly the same outfit as the boss, because no one likes a copycat.

effortless style

It is one of life’s great paradoxes that ‘effortless style’ requires a fair bit of effort. It is best explained by the Italian term sprezzatura which first originated in Baldesare Castiglione’s The Book of the Courtier.
 
A kind of self-help book for the upwardly mobile Italian aristocrat, Castiglione defines sprezzatura as ‘a certain nonchalance so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought.’
 
That ideal explains why Rennaissance era art and architecture looks so elegant, and why Italian men today are able to be stylish with (apparently) such ease. One need look no further than Italian style icons such as industrialist and former Fiat boss Gianni Agnelli or actor Marcello Mastroianni.
 
So what does it take to attain sprezzatura? Money alone is not enough. If that were the case, the streets would be full of elegantly dressed men.
 
Firstly, it requires a ruthless eye, which eliminates all superfluous decoration. Gaudy colours, bling watches, fabrics that shine and glimmer, anything which shouts ‘Me! Me! Me!’ are the antithesis of effortless style.
 
Secondly our clothes need to fit in such a way so as to make us appear as tall and lean as possible. If you’re having your clothes made, this is relatively straightforward. For everyone else, almost all of the tailored clothing we buy off the peg will need to altered in some way. Shirts that billow at the waist and trousers that hang half way down our derrieres are the most common crimes against style.
 
To avoid this fate we need to take our clothes to an alterations tailor. Shirts need to be ironed, shoes need to be shined, fingernails need to be clipped and our hair needs to be cut and combed neatly. Most importantly, we need to cultivate good manners – a strong handshake, interest in the conversation of others no matter how boring – these things press home the advantages enjoyed by the stylishly dressed man.
 
All of this requires great effort. The trick is to make it appear effortless. Over the next few weeks we will explore the detail of how to achieve elegance and style. How to tie your tie, the correct length for trousers, the correct fit for suits and how to mix and match colour and pattern.
 
It might sound like the fine details, but the details are what will change merely trying to be stylish into the real thing.

How to wear light blue denim

Denim has more to offer than jeans

We know. We’ve been flogging dark jeans for years, but when it comes to denim, the other end of the spectrum has just as much to offer.

Look one: Casual day
Forget whatever injunctions you may have heard in the past against wearing more than one denim item at one time: in a casual setting, a light, cowboy-style shirt with a brown belt – and a not-too big buckle – looks perfect over a pair of jeans in a dark wash. Make sure the fit is slim.
 

Shirt: Wearing a denim shirt can be tricky: be sure to choose the right wash and right (semisubtle) detailing.
Jeans: Light denim shirt, dark wash on the jeans. It’s that simple. Dismiss this rule at your peril.
Belt: A distressed looking brown leather belt. This is elementary, fellas – trust in brown.
Shoes: Brown belt, brown shoes. Another simple rule. But remember, you’re wearing all denim – no need to go formal on the footwear.
 
Look two: Formal day
Do not, under any circumstances, double up on denim if you are going to a formal – or even semi-formal – event. Denim is known as a casual fabric for a reason, and while one piece – say, a shirt – can showcase a playful personality, a second one can quickly send the wearer into clueless territory. Finally, when presented with the opportunity to wear a white suit, take it. Avoid the ones with a sheen, though – even the finest cuts look disco when you’re reflecting light.

Shirt: A soft, washed out denim shirt works for a stiff suit, and makes it more appropriate for a formal daytime event.
Suit: White adds a subdued hint of unique glamour and class, and looks great with the light denim.
Belt: Too much of one colour can be overwhelming. Breaking it up with a dash of another colour is always advised.
Shoes: Brown lace-ups give this modern day look a classic, formal twist.

Look three: Casual Evening
Nothing quite suits a man like a navy jacket worn at night. It’s classic without being stale, and perfect for a guy on the go. Tossing on a pair of lightly distressed – and light-washed – jeans completes the look. But casual doesn’t mean you can leave your shirt untucked – you’re not a teenager any more (even if our model here could maybe pass for one). When you want to dress up your light blue denims, opt for a darker-hued jacket or shirt to give you a more formal look.

Shirt: Normally we’d be against zippers on a dress shirt – we’re still a bit squeamish – but it just looks so damn good here.
Jacket: When in doubt, go with navy – it’s perfect for any occasion, and is particularly suited to jeans.
Jeans: Dark washes have had their place in the sun. It’s time to try something new: go lighter for an ultra-casual look that offsets the jacket.
Shoes: Never underestimate the power of a sleek pair of sneakers.

Look four: Formal Evening
When you want to dress up but don’t necessarily want to look as tightly wound as your dark-suited brethren, you really cannot go wrong with a beige linen suit. Match it up with a light denim shirt and you’ve pulled off a separation from the conformist masses. And, if you are ever afforded the excuse to wear a linen suit – bonus points if it’s a light-coloured one – definitely take it. 

Shirt: Pick a nice shade of blue. Just keep in mind what colour your shirt is complementing when you’re choosing the wash.
Suit: India is tropical, so there’s usually an excuse to wear a linen suit: light, airy, comfortable. But these things wrinkle like a shar-pei, so make sure you press it before you wear it.
Tie: Stick to the colour palette of the ensemble with a neutral brown.
Shoes: A classic pair of leather brogues. Simple enough.

The versatility of the three-piece suit

 

When you think of the three-piece suit, you think of Al Pacino in The Godfather II. You think of high-powered attorneys and CEOs. Nothing is quite as commanding as the three-piece– nor as versatile. A great three-piece will command both respect in the workplace and admiring glances at a post-work dinner.
                         
The new styles have a soft feel and a modern, youthful construction. At the office, a navy suit is dark enough to appear professional and a touch lighter than the funereal black.

It’s a perfect contrast for monochrome shirts as well as windowpane, checks or pinstripes, and has a padded but easier shoulder, and lining in the sleeves. When cut from a luxurious fabric like a silk-cashmere blend, it feels weightless.

Take off the jacket and tie, loosen your cuffs, and you’ll go from a business lunch at the Four Seasons to a boys’ night at the bar.

It’s a favourite with the celebrities too: while Justin Timberlake wears it with sneakers, actor Jake Gyllenhaal promoted his film Prince Of Persia And The Sands Of Time on Letterman in a three-piece charcoal suit and a pale blue dress shirt.

Jean-Claude Biguine launches in Juhu, Mumbai  Jean-Claude Biguine launched its fourth salon in the city, in Juhu, with a Sunday brunch and a debut collection showing by Junelia Aguiar. Enjoying the lazy Sunday brunch and joining Jean-Claude Biguine in its celebrations were guests including Kim Jagtiani, Carol Gracias, Tarana Vaswani, Nausheen Sardar Ali, AD & Sabina Singh, Rocky S, Simone Singh & Farhad Samar, Kunal Rawal, Riyaz Gangji among others.

How can an accessory brand be green? Salvatore Ferragamo has an entire collection of environment-friendly bags. Titled “Eco Ferragamo”, features purses made with a nontoxic tanning technique and dyed using tannins extracted from tree bark. They're then lined with handwoven hemp to withstand everyday use. Simple mantra, this: Organic material + sensible manufacturing process + a little bit of innovation = bags that are biodegradable, water-resistant, and utterly stylish. This one is SUPER: The coastal areas of Kenya constantly have a large number of flip flops washing onto shore! An organisation called UniqueEco employs local artisans, who turn these used flip flops into beads, sculptures, and other handmade pieces. International organisations place orders or commission artworks from them, made out of these flip flops. You can actually send in your chappals to them to be recycled: Unique Eco Designs, P.O. Box 15565-00503, Nairobi, Kenya. But very seriously, this only makes sense if you’re already in Nairobi – think of the resources you’d waste in ACTUALLY getting a pair of flip flops to Kenya from Mumbai. Jewellery can also be eco-friendly. Take Jewellery by Amisha, for instance. 10% of the profits from every piece of jewellery go to charity. She uses recycled silver and semi-precious stones from india, handmade with a craftperson collective here. Her brand is a member of ethical junction and ethical fashion forum. How can you help? A lot of street fashion is really all about DIY. Reuse, upcycle, do it at home! Check out sites like www.diyfashion.about.com that tell you how to make stylish stuff out of things you find at home. Paper beads, curtains made of old sarees – or for that matter, anything made out of old sarees, it all works. Accessories are easy enough to make, and you can innovate so much. Up next: some accessory brands and designers in the Indian scenario that stand out in the eco-fashion scene.

Rendezvous with Rina Dhaka at HDIL ICW 2010 FTV: What does couture mean to you? Rina Dhaka: As an Indian Designer, Couture is creating something new & different; that is not in regular prêt. It involves laborious handwork and immense effort. Indian Couture is about using out-of-the-ordinary embellishments. One doesn’t follow trend forecasts. FTV: How would you describe your personal style? RD: During the day, it’s more about functionality for me; so you would see me wearing jeans, comfortable shoes – maybe from Tod’s – and large, oversized T-shirts or shirts. I reserve the more fitting and stylish outfits for the evenings. FTV: One item you cannot leave home without? RD: My cell-phone. FTV: An item in your wardrobe you would never part with? RD: My Prada Embroidered Boots which have a 1980-90s kind of look. FTV: One item that can make or break a look? RD: Footwear! FTV: Mountains or Beaches – what would your ideal holiday consist of? RD: Beaches FTV: Name one person you think has impeccable style. RD: That would have to be Naomi Campbell! Rina Dhaka presents her Couture line on 8th October, in Mumbai.

Eco-Fashion (2 of 7) – Brands that have style with soul Continuing our look at what constitutes eco-fashion, we bring you some designers who live by a conscience. Swati Argade For her collection ‘Ticket to Ikkat’, Swati sourced fabrics from fair-trade cooperatives in Orissa, where weavers were paid and treated fairly. Her collection ‘Shift by Swati’ uses colours of the American Southwest and graphic Indian prints. She has used a textile called modal, which is a cellulose fibre made from the reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. Swati is committed to supporting Indian textile traditions and identifying those crafts which need exposure to larger markets to support their survival. Soul Quotient: Throughout the year, she has been working on the launch of a brand called ‘Bhoomki’. The launch product will be a small collection of coats made from fabric of recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton and assembled in New York City. All shipping will be offset with carbon emission credits as well. Swati guarantees that these coats will have one of the smallest carbon footprints among other coats made in the USA in its category. Jhoole Jhoole garments are produced using various eco-friendly materials including hand-loomed organic cotton and silk, natural dyes, organic dyes, recycled denim and factory waste jersey (misprints, etc.) from Pratibha Syntex’s LOOP collection. Based in rural Madhya Pradesh, the brand employs female artisans to create handloom, hand-embroidered garments. All the artisans are given good living wages and the brand particularly supports mothers, who are trained and can work from home. Jhoole collaborates with designer Karishma Shahani and artist Amy Sol. Sol produces ethereal paintings full of airy, flowy dresses and cuddly creatures. By working with Shahani and Sol, Jhoole is making these dresses real. Shahani has in the past created Yatra, a colourful and un-contrived range of outfits made of upcycled materials inspired by native India. This collaboration will culminate in exhibitions and fashion shows in the summer of 2011 featuring Shahani’s garments and 5 original paintings by Amy Sol. Soul Quotient: Jhoole is currently raising funds to build a production centre that will be entirely energy-neutral. 20% of its profits are donated to local initiatives: With its focus on rural MP, social returns are highly visible and sustainable. Jhoole invests in the local community through health, environmental and educational initiatives. Siddhartha Upadhyaya of August Fashion Like his other endeavours, Siddharth’s last collection at LFW titled ‘As You Like It’ was sustainable. He showed a line that had no ‘correct side up’ – the garments could be worn upside down w/o revealing the fact. As he says, this is “doubling the utilization of resources” as one gets two looks at the cost of one. Soul Quotient: We touched upon Siddhartha’s innovative technology – Direct Panel On Loom in the first part of this series. It helps save upon fabric, fibers, chemicals, finishes, energy, man hours and other resources by 15%-22% and saves water by almost 80%! Bhu:sattva Bhu:sattva is convergence traditional organic clothing with herbal dyes. The company gets its organic cotton from a contracted farm. The cotton is then processed in keeping with organic processing standards. Once ready, the fabric is dyed using herbal colours. The final fabric is then moulded into an outfit by designer Digvijay Singh who says, “I believe eco-cycling will make a difference in our lives sooner or later. Making use of the waste in a smart way, combining waste…should be our focus. Each one can contribute on some level; use organic fabrics, ban chemical dyes.” Soul Quotient: Bhu:sattva strives to revive ancient and languishing art forms such as Kalamkari of Andhra Pradesh, Jaina art, Phad and Pichwai fabric paintings of Rajasthan, Phulkari embroidery of Punjab, Zari and Zardozi work of Mughals, Kantha work of West Bengal, Ka

Here’s a sneak peak…

Trickle-up trend: A fashion trend which, rather than starting with the designer and working its way onto the high street, is based on styles first seen on the streets. Celebrities are often the ones to sport trends before they reach the masses, and many designers have muses who inspire entire ranges, thereby bringing a trend to life.

Vanity sizing: The process where ready-to-wear clothing of the same size has become bigger over time. Critics say that the fashion houses have done this purposely to flatter customers to keep them coming back. However the change in sizes may also reflect the changing average sizes of women.

Fashions for the Pastor's Wife

A quick perusal through the TV guide reveals an interesting fascination we as a society have with fashion and our image. Let's look at a few choices we have how to waste a few hours: 

What Not to Wear with Stacey and Clinton. Find out what's hot and what's not! 

10 Years Younger - The diva is back and on track! 

Style by Jury Get the WOW factor! 

How to Look Good Naked Feel sexy and womanly in your body! 

There's probably more but that's enough to make you want to get a good book and read for the evening!

While there is nothing wrong with looking great and being in fashion, there is a concern when looking great and being in fashion means you have to reveal too much of your body in order to achieve that. Why can't we look great without looking sexy! Why can't we be in fashion without uncovering a certain amount of our body?

We all know the verses from the New Testament that give instruction on fashions for women of God:

I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. (NIV, 1 Timothy 2:9-10)

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewellery and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. (NIV, 1 Peter 3:2-5)

These verses do not specifically state how long a skirt should be, or how low a neckline can be. There seems to be a greater standard that we need to establish and that is the condition of our hearts.

Shannon Ethridge in her excellent book "Every Woman's Battle" speaks of the difference between legalism and love. Legalism is stating what a Christian woman can or cannot wear. It gives lengths of skirt, depths of neckline and the do's and don'ts! Basically it answers the question "What can I get away with? How far can I go?"

Ethridge encourages us rather to focus on love. We need a standard of integrity that will apply to every age, to every culture, to every time in history. And the answer is given by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbour as yourself."

First, we love God and we want to please Him even in the way we dress. As you purchase a new outfit, ask yourself if you would be comfortable wearing it to meet Jesus? Am I adorning the temple of the Holy Spirit in such a way that it glorifies the occupant? When you get dressed each morning, ask yourself who you are dressing for? Is God included in that list?

Secondly, we need to show love to our Christian brothers by the way we dress. We all know that men are visually stimulated. A skirt that is a bit too short or tight - a neckline that shows a little cleavage, can cause a man's thoughts to veer off course. You need to know as well, that these Christian men anxiously want to honor their wives by not allowing their eyes to stray. Wearing immodest clothing can become a very selfish, unloving act on the part of unthinking or uncaring women.

If your best friend was on a diet, you would not be considered a good support if you were continually offering her a piece of chocolate! In like manner, we are not being a loving and supportive ministry leader, co-worker, and fellow Christian, when we dress in such a way as to cause our brothers to stumble. Many women today have no idea of how desperately men at church need women to dress modestly.

And finally, we need to lovingly model for the women in our churches that a beautiful woman is not defined by her fashion but rather by her heart. While we strive to look nice and fashionable, our hearts desire is to point others to the God we love. We do not want the world's standard of 'fashion' to get in the way of doing that.

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." -
