What to Watch Out for Men Casual Wear in this summer

Clothing for work, especially in regard to offices, business transactions, has changed quite a while now. It is a fact that is no longer necessary to use a coat and tie to be smart. There are many options and combination, accompanied by appropriate accessories that you can take and still be stylish. 


There is an expression in English, literally "business casual" can be translated to Spanish saying something like "executive but casual." But it's worth being clear on what fits the style parameters, to avoid errors and above all to preserve the taste. 

For example, there are ways to wear a suit without looking like you're going to a wedding. 

How? 

The trick is to clarify the suit has a bit of color underneath, for example blue, indigo, beige, or purple. This revives the color of the dress and adds a personal touch. 

As for the shirts, the basic concept is that the less conspicuous the better. Opt for a plain shirt, but if you do not like, I suggest you try out the scratches. 

For the coldest days, if it coats and divers, I recommend you have in your wardrobe a Bleiz or jacket of blue cloth. With this, rest assured that you'll always well dressed either to the days of coat and tie or those that will informal. 

Maintain discretion and elegance, having your garments spotless. You could have the best designer clothes but impact would be terrible, if you use soiled or frayed. Watch these details, because believe me women do not ever forgive. 

Like wearing jeans? 

Mens fashion jeans are so popular today that you can find them everywhere, are central to the style as it is casual business attire, but we must take into account: 

Can Match Your Favorite Tie With Jeans?
For your jeans are the perfect garment must include a good range of tones, you can combine a classic jeans with a dark blue dress shirt and a light-colored sports jacket. A blue jeans usually paler look great with a dark jacket or blazer. 

But do not just blue jeans. The black jeans can be a lifesaver on a trip. Under a sport coat, give you entrance to many places where blue jeans have no place. At home, are a nice change of pace, especially if you want to look like a bohemian. Just keep your poetry to yourself. 


Do not make the common mistake of wearing a shirt with loose sleeves at the opening of a gallery. If the occasion is something serious, tight sleeves used (sample those biceps.) The shirts are going to wear under sport coats should have a bit of lycra or spandex, which makes it a bit to fit your torso. 

If you're wearing tight jeans, wear a loose shirt to avoid "sausage?. Conversely, if your jeans are a little loose, wearing a shirt a little tighter to avoid the appearance of bin of dirty laundry. 

The jeans must be worn with shoes with a matte finish and a thicker sole than dress shoes. For times lower in the scale of formality, wear shoes with thick soles, perhaps something like a boot or booty to scale with contrasting stitching or jumping. But if you're wearing jeans to a cocktail, climbs the ladder of sophistication with suede shoes or loafers. The jeans look best with a wide belt buckle has a flat, heavier than a formal.

Sneaker of the Week: Converse New Chuck Taylor Sneaker


Converse debuts new version of the Chuck Taylor All Star Leather Jacket sneaker with Schott leather.

With deep roots in American style and culture, the Schott NYC jacket and the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe have led somewhat parallel lives. Converse began in 1908 and Schott in 1913 and as the part of the 20th Century unfolded, Chuck Taylor All Star shoes were unveiled and quickly became nearly ubiquitous in American life. Not long before Chuck Taylor added his name to the already then famous All Star shoe, in 1928, Schott unveiled the first motorcycle jacket ever. Named the "Perfecto", by the 1950s, the jacket had become a symbol of the new rebellion that was taking hold with the burgeoning teen culture that arose after the War.

Referenced in classic film and television— the uniform of the rock and roller, the hoodlum and the rebel often wore a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes and a black Schott Perfecto leather jacket. Likewise, as the punk rock movement swept the streets of downtown New York City and beyond, a Schott leather jacket and a pair of Chucks became synonymous with the scene. Today, both Schott and Converse connect with the American spirit and represent the individualism that both brands have embodied throughout the decades.

Mating the original motorcycle jacket design with the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe, Converse and Schott developed a sneaker that showcases the best of both labels, including heavy-duty rear zip entry, zips under the laces and a patchwork of motorcycle jacket leather. Further details include quilted lining, snaps on the tongue, a leather rand, and the Schott label sewn discreetly inside the shoe.

Lanvin Fall 2011 Collection


If there were something which other fashion designers might learn from the house of Lanvin, it would be in which not anything keeps a roomful of jaded show-goers pleased as if warm espresso and nice treats. This seems easy, however just a little goes a very long way.



Easy luxury is at the heart of a Lanvin collection - a cashmere turtleneck poking out from beneath a shirt collar, or a flowing silk suit - but there was something buttoned up, almost stern, in a knee-length coat tied tightly at the waist with rope, or a suit jacket fastened just that bit too snug.

"Where there is tension, there is energy," declared Lanvin menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver after the show, "and this collection was really about that tension. A classic loafer and then an extreme hiking boot, or luxury tailoring mixed with sportswear. We tried to find the hybrid."

CAR| Mercedes C63 AMG Officially Launched

Mercedes have given the C63 AMG a performance as well as design upgrade, the reason the huge success of the original model. Mercedes-Benz wanted to give its customers something afresh. The car brand has formally announced the 2012 C63 AMG. Although a successor to its older sibling, the C63 AMG is vastly inspired by SL63 AMG.

This new model gets fresh radiator grille, large Merc star, wing type transverse fins and a new AMG front apron with a lower cross member painted in high-gloss black upfront. There is also AMG daytime running LED lights alongside the clear lens headlamps with ILS (Intelligent Lighting System) and latest side air outlets.

Staying with the front of the car, the bonnet with upgraded powerdomes is aluminum made. The tires are 235/40 R 18 and 255/35 R 18 at front and rear respectively with 5 twin spoke AMG light alloys painted in titanium grey with a high sheen finish.

Changing our view to rear, the new apron has a black diffuser insert with 3 diffuser fins. Two chrome twin tailpipes from AMG give the looks as well as the note.

The transmission is from SL63; AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission has 4 driving modes (C, S, S+, M) and double-declutching and RACE START functions. The C mode or Controlled efficiency mode provides smooth and early up-shifts maintaining min engine speed. This improves fuel efficiency at 12 L/100 Km/ 12.3 for the Estate and reduces CO2 emissions to 280 g/Km (288 for Estate). The M mode is dynamic and responsive while the S and S+ modes offer gearshifts within 100 milliseconds.

The heart of the car is an eight cylinder 6 L engine producing 336 kW (457 hp) at 6800 rpm and 600 Nm of torque @ 5000 rpm. For the facts and figures column, 0-100 Km/h in just 4.5 seconds (4.6 for Estate) and top speed of 250 Km/h.

AMG additionally offers the sports package whereby the power output increases to 358 kW (487 hp) and 0-100 km/h acceleration time reduces to 4.4 seconds (Estate: 4.5 s).

This beauty will be on sale from July, costing €71,340 in Germany.

CAR| Porsche Boxster S Black Limited Edition Made Official

The Porsche Boxster S Black edition has been made official, though with a clause. The car maker will make only 987 units of the vehicle, and this could make the car a rarity on the road.

The black-themed vehicle will come with a 3.4 L six cylinder engine that develops 320 hp and 370 Nm of torque @ 4750 rpm. With the help of a 6 speed manual transmission, 0-100 Km/h can be done in 5.2 seconds (5.1 with seven speed PDK) before hitting a maximum speed of 276 Km/h (274 Km/h).

The limited edition sports car returns 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers, as compared with the PDK (Doppelkupplungsgetriebe) that gives only 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

The color concept of the car calls for admiration, with black featuring in every little detail of the car. The car gets black body, black hood and black Boxster Spyder alloys with 235/35 ZR 19 front and 265/35 ZR 19 rear tyres.

Moving to the rear, no changes have been incorporated in the color scheme. The air intake grills and the twin tailpipe of the exhaust system retains the black hue.

The letters of the model name on the rear luggage compartment lid are also in black, proclaiming it as the black edition. The embossed Black Edition model designation on the side of the fabric hood does the same. Additionally roll over bars are also in black.

The trend continues to the interior, with "Black edition" written in black in the stainless steel door entry guards.

A double-spoke sport steering wheel that has a non-slip rim of smooth-finish leather and sporty grips has been included to add to the charm. Black also falls on trim strips of the dashboard and shift lever.

The dials on the instrument cluster are black as are the partial leather seats with the Porsche emblem embossed in the headrests. Black leather interiors are optional, while the limited badge on the glove box identifies the car as the black edition.

Comfort, Infotainment and design equipment packages are available as standard. There is a wind deflector, anti-dazzle exterior and interior mirrors, rain-sensor, cruise control and climate control system for added comfort.

CAR| New Mercedes S-class Spied

Glimpses of the new 2013 Mercedes S-class have been seen, courtesy of 'spy-photographers'. The much awaited car was spied doing test runs in southern Germany  - though covered with tons of camouflage hiding details.

The larger grille and headlights borrowed from CLS with LED indicators were visible though. To add, from the pictures the car looks bigger compared to its older sibling. The powertrain could be from the S 500 vision concept.

Right now, the only gasoline-electric hybrid on offer by Mercedes is the S400, which combines a 3.5 liter V6 engine with an electric motor. The S400 is selling well in the US market, particularly in Hollywood, as celebrities look to dump their Priuses for something more in line with their social status.

Although not sure, the design element for the S-class must be from F700 and may have only hybrid engines apart from AMG variants. This would make sure that Mercedes helps the cause global fuel economy and emission norms. It should return at least 78 mpg (3 L/100Km) and CO2 emissions well under 100g/Km.

If only the hybrid version will be out, we have to wait and see. The car should be out some time in 2012.

CAR| Saab 9-3 First Test Models Leaked Out

We know that the next generation Saab 9-3 is under development and now the early chassis test mules with few modifications (extended wheel arches) have been found running on some roads in Southern Europe.

The car parts are sourced from various automakers, especially BMW. But the model will be based on a modified version of the Epsilon I platform and we expect the company to offer it as a three- and five-door hatchback.

Saab made an engine purchasing agreement with BMW during last September and that made them to have an access to a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine equipped with start/stop technology.

This turbo engine that is featured in the MINI Cooper comes with three level of options – 175 PS (129 kW / 173 hp), 184 PS (135 kW / 181 hp) and 208 hp (155 kW / 211 PS).

BMW's new 2.0-liter turbo engine with 222 hp (166 kW / 225 PS) is also rumored to be features in the 9-3.

The Saab 9-3 will be a 2012 launch and the company has further plans to introduce a hybrid version of the model. They will also launch an electric vehicle by 2016.

CAR| BMW Super Bowl commercials champion diesel and... American roots?

BMW Super Bowl Ad
BMW Super Bowl Ad - Click above to watch the videos after the jump

BMW was one of the few companies to keep its Super Bowl advertising plans to itself until kick off time, but the Roundel came to the game packing two 30-second spots. The company said it wanted to get two messages across to Americans: that its diesels are cleaner and more powerful than ever and that the German manufacturer is continuing to invest in America even as the economy struggles to recover. In order to make that happen, BMW enlisted the vocal talents of actor Chris Pine (of Star Trek fame) for the two spots. Pine is now the official voice of BMW advertising here in the States.

The first ad is clearly aimed at distinguishing the 335d from the American perception of diesel – sluggish oldVolvo wagons, rough-idling Mercedes-Benz sedans and soot-spewing trucks and busses. The second ad focuses on the company's efforts in Spartanburg, South Carolina, including producing every X3 on the planet.Hit the jump to check out both spots as well as the full press release.

CAR| Nissan 350Z Nismo

Nissan 350Z Nismo
For the first time in the Nissan Z 37-year history, a high-performance NISMO 350Z is part of the broad range Z. The new 2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z, which makes its North American debut in 2007 in New York International Auto Show, length contains a list of unique equipment, which includes a package and improved handling equipment. This new model, the fifth in the 2007 350Z Coupe range, is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission only. It goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in July 2007.

NISMO, the premier supplier of high-performance aftermarket parts and accessories for Nissan vehicles in the United States since 2003, previously participated in the development of the NISMO Frontier off-road pickup truck, introduced in 2005. The NISMO 350Z is the secondNissan model to be branded with the legendary marque. Like the Frontier model, which is specially equipped for off-road excursions, the 2007 NISMO 350Z is optimized for enthusiast drivers.

''With the combination of the new VQ35HR engine found on all 2007 350Zs and NISMO performance and design enhancements, the NISMO 350Z represents the pinnacle of Nissan performance machines,'' said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA).

''The NISMO 350Z is the ideal package for true enthusiasts – adding a high level of aesthetic and performance enhancing equipment which is not available in the aftermarket – while retaining the reliability, durability, and comprehensive warranty found standard on every 2007 Nissan 350Z,'' he continued.

The most striking visual feature of this special vehicle is the NISMO aerodynamics package, which strongly resembles the Super GT championship winning Zs. Featuring an aggressive front fascia with chin spoiler, side skirts, an extended rear fascia with underbody diffuser and a rear wing, the NISMO 350Z produces additional aerodynamic downforce to provide enhanced cornering and handling performance.

Special consideration is given during assembly of the NISMO 350Z – structural rigidity is enhanced by additional body welds to the already rigid 350Z body and additional supports have been added front and rear. The NISMO 350Z also utilizes special body dampers mounted in the front radiator core support and in the rear cargo area, which assist in controlling body vibrations.

Additional performance features include a special NISMO-tuned independent multi-link suspension, Brembo brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers (with 12.8-inch front and 12.7-inch rear rotors) and special NISMO-branded gunmetal gray RAYS super lightweight forged-alloy wheels (18x9-inch front and 19x10-inch rear with 245/40WR18 front, 265/35WR19 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires). A special NISMO-branded tuned exhaust adds an even more authoritative tone to the Z's 306-horsepower V6 engine.

''The combination of aerodynamic enhancements and performance tuning adds up to a Z with enhanced cornering, steering precision and handling,'' said Bosley. ''Every exterior and mechanical improvement made to the NISMO 350Z isn't just for show, it's also for performance.'' Four exterior colors are available, including Redline Red, Magnetic Black, Silver Alloy and Pikes Peak White.

Inside, NISMO 350Z drivers receive special treatment with unique black cloth seats with red inserts, red stitching throughout the interior and special NISMO white-faced tachometer. All NISMO 350Zs receive a serialized NISMO-etched aluminum plaque mounted on the center console, designating its limited edition status.

The NISMO 350Z includes a full complement of 350Z standard features, including the new VQ35HR 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 306 horsepower @ 6,800 RPM and 268 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 RPM – with more than 90% of torque available between 2,000 and 7,000 RPM. Engine features include variable exhaust cam timing (eCVTCS), a 7,500 rpm rev limit and a symmetric twin ram air intake system.

The standard 6-speed manual transmission features close-ratio gearing from 1st through 5th gears for high-performance driving and an overdrive 6th speed for highway fuel economy. For performance handling, standard on the NISMO 350Z is a Traction Control System (TCS) and Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD).

Also standard is electronically-controlled vehicle speed-sensitive dual-orifice rack-and-pinion power steering system, front and rear strut tower bracing, 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA), HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, cruise control, aluminum pedals, illuminated steering wheel audio controls and auto dimming rearview mirror, power windows, 3-bay gauge cluster, High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon (high and low beam) headlights, LED taillights, Advanced Air Bag System, side and curtain side-impact supplemental air bags and Active Head Restraints.

''The NISMO 350Z is geared towards enthusiasts who want the ultimate 350Z straight from the factory performance experts,'' said Bosley. ''They also want a Z that makes a statement and is a testament to their love of driving.''

In addition to the new NISMO 350Z, the 2007 350Z Coupe is offered in Base, Enthusiast, Touring and Grand Touring models. The 2007 350Z Roadster is offered in three models – Enthusiast, Touring and Grand Touring.
