10 Things You Should Never Wear

Filed under: News and Articles

Everyone’s heard about the key items that should be in a closet: black trousers, a classic pump, a white oxford shirt, etc. But what about those items that should not be in there— the ones that tempt you to betray your fashion sense and keep you from looking like your usual, put-together self? Yes, these items may be comfort pieces, but most likely they fit like anything but. So rid yourself of them now before you pull an Eve and pick that red apple. Check out our list of items to purge.

Booty shorts.
Jessica Simpson could pull them off in Dukes of Hazzard, but, then again, it was a movie. Translating this trend to real life is a different story. Short shorts can be pulled off successfully—think loose-fitting nautical pairs for spring, but it’s the unsuccessful versions that we see the most of. If you are unsure if short shorts are right for you, take it as a sign and stick to their adorable cousin, the Bermuda. Still holding on? Walk a lap around your bedroom. If you have to yank them down more than once, it’s time to give them the boot. Because when you step out of the house, don’t think that everyone around you is oblivious to your pain. It’s visible.

Cropped tops.
Unless you’re at the beach or in your PJs, don’t forget that showing off your stomach is definitely circa 1998. Put your baby tees in your pajama drawer and store your skimpy “going out shirts” in the attic. If you’re not ready to toss them out just yet, try layering the shorter top over a longer tank.

Shoulder pads.
You’re not a football player. And if by some slim chance you are, you wouldn’t wear your game gear to the office, would you? Maybe you think that shoulder pads make you look “serious,” but, really, it’s unflattering and frumpy. Cut them out now.

Custom Apparel - More Than Just T-Shirts And Polos

Filed under: News and Articles

The traditional T-shirt and basic polo or golf shirt (as some people refer to them) has been foundational in the promotional products industry for many years. But just when these products are thought of as staples in the promotional products industry, here comes a new wave of apparel to expand the ever-growing popularity of these products for today’s busy and active generation. Many of these will be sure to enhance the appeal of promotional apparel for years to come. There are many specialized apparel products in the market today that can target very specific promotional campaigns that were not available just a few short years ago. So, just what are some of the new trends in the custom imprinted apparel market? Below are two of the most popular.

Active Wear:

Also known as fitness or workout wear. If getting in or staying in shape is what your clients are attracted to, then customized promotional apparel is a must for your marketing program. America is obsessed with sports, fitness and leisure activities. Everywhere you look you can find people and products whose whole sole purpose is to get and keep you healthy. An important aspect of that is working out.

Fitness, team and other sports apparel has always been a big part of this craze. The demand for moisture management fabrics has helped this apparel segment reach a fever pitch. By utilizing the latest high-tech fabrics and wicking materials, promotional apparel has gained very high marks in this arena. Today, you can custom imprint shorts, pants, sports bras, socks, athletic shoes, pullover hoodies, stretch tees, golf wear, outerwear even mesh apparel. Some of the more common fabrics used for athletic apparel are polyester, cotton, microfiber, rayon, and spandex.

The fabrics today are more comfortable and versatile, making them appropriate on or off the court. You can match your corporate colors with coordinating outfits and choose from a wide variety of sizes and colors. Use custom imprinted apparel to brand your promotion and show off your logo or message with the latest styles in active wear.

Uniform Wear:

Industry analysis shows that uniform wear is the fastest-growing segment of the custom apparel market. Like many other products in the promotional products industry, there is nothing scientific about utilizing uniform apparel in marketing. But unlike other promotional materials, which simply serve to get a corporate name or message out to the public, uniform apparel says so much more. This type of apparel represents what the company wants the public to know about themselves. For one, it could be professionalism; another could want to exude an air of friendliness first. Bottom line: uniform apparel doesn’t just serve to sell the company. Uniform apparel tells the public who the company is.

How to Buy a Man’s Custom Dress Shirt

Filed under: News and Articles

How to check if your custom shirt fits?

While the shirt is buttoned, you should be able to slide two fingers between your neck and collar.

When you move your arm in your custom dress shirt, the sleeves should be long enough so that cuffs do not ride up your wrist.

The cuffs of your custom made shirt should just be tight enough that they do not hang over your hand. You should not be able to slip into shirt sleeves without first undoing buttons on the cuff.

To make sure your custom fitted shirt is comfortable and not too tight, check that the shirt does not pull uncomfortably across the shoulders, chest or waist.

Check the buttons of your custom shirt; they should be secure, no loose threads and well-placed with no gaping holes exposing your chest or waist.

To check the proper shirt length of your custom shirt, raise your arms and make sure that shirt tail does not come out of your pants.

Tip:

It takes up to 9 washings for a custom dress shirt to fully shrink. For this reason, make sure the collar of a brand new shirt has a half inch extra room or it will become too tight.

How to check the quality of a custom shirt?

Check the fabric content of your custom shirt. Finer dress shirts are made of two-ply, which make the fabrics stronger, softer and wrinkle less.

Inspect the seam running down the side of the shirt for smoothness and make sure it does not pucker. A high-quality custom shirt has only one line of stitching visible on the side seam, while most commercial shirts have two visible rows of stitches.

Examine shirt sleeve a couple of inches above the cuff for a gauntlet button that closes up the sleeve. A gauntlet button and a horizontally placed buttonhole also usually indicate good craftsmanship.

In Custom striped shirts, check how stripes are aligned. They should match making a straight line.

The collar of a great fitting custom shirt should be firm and crisp. It should not be limp and under no circumstances it should have any wrinkles or bubbles (puckering)

The design of the fabric should match where any two pieces of fabrics meet. For example where sleeves meet the shoulder.

Looking the Part - Dressing for Success

Filed under: News and Articles

There are some definite “do’s” and “don’ts” when it comes to what to wear when you present. I’ve found that it’s always good to go back to a BASIC look; your Believable Appearance is Simple and your Image is Conservative. You’ll find that the more conservative you dress, the quicker the audience will accept your credibility. The bottom line when it comes to your “dress”, it shouldn’t overshadow your message. Let’s break your overall appearance into distinct sections; the face, accessories and the outfits.

Let’s begin by focusing on your face. The face is responsible for delivering your message through the voice and facial expressions. When your audience looks at your face, they see three different elements: your skin, your hair and any eyewear.

· Ladies: make sure that you put on make-up close to the same lighting that you will have in your presentation venue. If you present under bright lights, make sure that you use powder to eliminate facial glare.

· Men: make sure that you are clean shaven. Unless your beard is extremely close shaved, your facial expressions effects and influence on your audience may be lost with a thick beard.

Your hair must be groomed and not interfere with your facial expressions. Any hair style that you have should not shift focus from your face to your hair.

· Ladies: if you have long hair, pull it back. You don’t want your hair inadvertently covering your face.

Shopping for a Custom Jacket

Filed under: News and Articles

Whether you’re in the market for one custom jacket for yourself, enough for an entire team of little leaguers, or a company 1,000 employees, one thing remains the same: you’re in need of a quality jacket at an affordable price. Jackets will fall into dozens of price categories within scores of quality types, so being confident that you are getting the most for your dollar is essential.

After deciding on a generalized price point per custom jacket, you’ll need to decide on a jacket style. From “Letterman” styles of jackets, to full zip fleece, to “coaches” jackets and everything in between, you have a lot of choices to contemplate before making your final decision. If you are uncertain in any way as to making this important decision, you will need to contact someone who knows the ins and outs of the custom jacket industry.

And while you’re looking for such a contact, look for a company that stands out amongst the masses- one in which each and every employee is trained in each and every aspect of the business at hand. Having one person who knows you from the first phone call until your custom order is in your hands is a bonus, but make sure that your person isn’t too specialized, for if they fall ill or take a vacation, you want to make sure your questions and concerns are answered to in a timely manner.

On another note, be sure to find a company that doesn’t “nickel and dime you to death” with small fees that can add up to take a good chunk out of your checkbook. The low price on the jacket itself can quickly skyrocket when you add in any artwork fees and/or set-up fees, typesetting, or something that you’ve never even heard of.

Business Attire: 10 Tips to Perfect Your Look

Filed under: News and Articles

Being appropriately dressed is essential in making good impressions in the business and corporate worlds. A polished image is important in business survival and can be an important factor in career advancement. Periodically, it is a good idea to take a look at your business attire and the image you are presenting. Is it the image you want to project?

1. No matter what your age your business attire should be as professional as possible. Avoid clothes that are the latest fad and choose a more conservative look.

2. Wear clothes that are comfortable, that do not itch, ride up or bind. If your clothes are irritating, having to tug, pull or scratch is not something you will want to do in public. Dress to suit your personality while keeping in mind professional standards. When you feel comfortable you will feel more at ease and will be able to attend to business.

3. Your blouse should fit well. Be sure it is the correct size, is not taut and does not gap.

4. Keep your hemline conservative, about one to two inches above the knee. This length is not only more attractive but a length that suits most women.

5. Keep your business clothes clean and well pressed. If they should get stained have them cleaned immediately.
