Fashion Accessories

A neck tie is the most important clothing accessory that goes along with the normal shirts and pants. More often, you are confused as to how to tie a neck tie, how to buy a good neck tie and take care of it properly, which knots suits you and your outfit.

There are some basic things that you should keep in mind while you buy a neck tie:

You should try the neck tie and check whether it ties a knot well.

Material used such as polyester or silk-polyester blend.

The inner side of the tie should have some stuff to give some look to the body.

Other than in standard neckties that range from 52 to 58 inches, you need to order a custom tie.

The lining of a tie should hold its shape as high quality ties are lined with 100% wool.

Good quality ties are cut across the fabric which you can test by making a tie loop on your hand and if it makes a twirl in air then it is not of a good quality.

Inspect the tie closely and carefully for any threads or loose ends.

Even if you touch a silk tie and it seems to be rough then the silk would be of inferior quality.

Some tips you should bear in mind while you wear a neck tie:

You should check that the front end of your tie should be long enough so that it touches your waist of paints.

Avoid wearing ties that are too bright in color.

Its good to wear to wear darker shade ties with light shade shirts. It means the color should not be so light that it fades with your shirt or it is so dark that it clashes with your outfit.

You should have a tie knot proportional to the collar neither so big that it spreads the collar nor too small that it is lost in the collar.

If you are wearing a patterned tie, the color of it should be complementary to the color of your suit and the shirt should be of secondary color.

While wearing a tie, its better to wear a woolen tie with a woolen suit and a silky tie with a silken shirt.

Tie a neck tie in front of a mirror and avoid using clips on the tie.

Keep your shirt buttoned up and collar up while you put your tie.

Keep the knot of your tie tight in the process of tying the neck tie.

Every snowboarder and surfer is familiar with the Oakley brand. This label is not only one worn by dedicated athletes because of its high quality materials and durability, it is also seen as something that is in fashion for those not interested in high intensity sports. It is one of the most trusted brands for sunglasses and quality sports clothing and footwear. Whether you are a Motocross standout or you are the head of the chess club, Oakley sunglasses are an essential accessory.

Jim Jannard is the founding father of the Oakley brand. This entrepreneur had no idea that his love for motorcycle sports would develop into a company that is well known as the premier sports brand around the globe. Jannard’s first product was not something you would see bearing the Oakley brand today: he developed new types of hand gripes for off-road motorcyclists. His rubber handgrips became popular so he added to spare motorcycle parts to his store and he continued with this line of work for nearly ten years. He soon noticed another problem that bike riders would continually run into, that of a lack of high quality motorcycle sunglasses. He got to work on this problem and the result was the very first pair of Oakley sports goggles.

Unlike the other items on the market, Jannard’s goggles were made from high-impact plastic, which made his goggles not only lightweight but also much safer than the standard glass goggles that were the most widely used at the time. Sales were slow at first but Jannard put together a team of young researchers and marketing gurus. The result was revolutionary eyewear; it combined both elements of goggles and sunglasses for the use by cyclists and skiers. By 1984, Oakley officially entered the sunglasses market sporting this new product. However, Oakley sunglasses did not take off until 1986 when cyclist Greg La Mond wore a pair of Oakley shades when he won the Tour de France.

Several world-class athletes such as Andre Agassi, Michael Jordon, and Cal Ripken, Jr. soon followed suit and sported Oakleys on and off their professional sports turf. Soon everyone knew what these sports stars saw in this brand; the high quality eyewear not only kept their vision clear and their eyes protected, it also looked great!

1 - Know your body shape

Petite women should avoid chunky clothes and strong prints. Instead go for fitted shapes and soft fabrics, narrow belts

subtle contrasts of colour and texture. Keep everything streamlined so as not to cut the body in half.

Busty women should wear eye-catching skirts (shorter if you are comfortable) and trousers, strong prints and colours or

textures draw the eye away from the top half of the body. Wearing a single block of colour is thinning. Avoid

eye-catching tops, instead wear long jackets that draw the eye down. Darker coloured tops which are loose fitting and

waist hugging.

Pear shaped women should love vertical lines, V-necks and skirts with slits up the side. Straight of A-line skirts to

just below the knee. Dark tights and shoes with colour or pattern in a blouse or top, tops should hang past the hips.

Classic cuts on top in lighter colours draw the eye away from the hips. Accent the V-neck with a V or Y- shaped

necklace.

Tall women should avoid tight clothes. Wear the right skirt length, too short or too long will be out of proportion. As

with petite women keep everything streamlined, wear blouses over trousers so as not to shorten your top half.

with a round necklace or scarf.

Sekonda was founded in 1931, now it is part of Time Products (U.K). It remains the same privately owned business that it started as, but has evolved to cater to 6.5% of the British watch market (GFK data 2006). With a market share like that it is no surprise that Sekonda is presently the U.K.’s best selling watch brand. More amazing is the fact that it has remained the U.K.’s favorite watch brand since 1988 and in 2006 became the best seller by both volume and value. Showing that it is firmly established in its position at the top of this industry. The reasons for their success are many and perhaps can be best summed up by their own slogan “beware of expensive imitations.”

The History

Sekonda used to import Soviet watches for sale in the Western markets. They are associated with the original production of both digital and quartz watches. Firstly sourcing Russian mechanical watches and then moving their production to Hong Kong as quartz technology became the highly desired watch mechanism. This flair for utilising innovations has been a crucial element of their success. In the 1980’s a host of fashion houses such as DKNY, Gucci and Guess began producing their own fashion watches. This marked the beginning of a new era of competition within the watch industry and questions began to be raised about how to combat the new influx of competitors; the main problem was that the size of the market had not increased at the same rate as those after market share.

Sekonda’s Solution

The key values that have driven Sekonda’s success are price, quality and service. RRP’s are chosen before product development is complete. This places the emphasis on the buyers to reduce material costs, rather than on the retailers to sell at a higher price. The core lines retail between £20 and £80, eminently more affordable than their fashion house counterparts. Strict quality controls have remained firmly in place since the start. Each watch is checked by hand for any faults which has resulted in a return rate of less than 1%, even though they sell in excess of 1.6 million watches a year. Admirable. Additionally both end customers and retailers continually express their satisfaction with the sales process and the after sales care.

Brand Revolution

Sekonda have managed to retain their market status not only by providing a high quality of product and service but by constantly evolving to satisfy the desires of their key target market, 25-35 year olds. In the last twenty years this has meant a change of strategy as fashion now dictates that style must be fast and disposable. The notion of impulse buying has become not just a bonus for the retailer but a staple diet. Sekonda decided to develop ranges that fed into this market and, in 2004 and 2005 respectively, the Seksy and One ranges were born.

These two identities now account for 20% of Sekonda’s overall sales. Both ranges consist of watches that are individually named, most famously the Seksy Eclipse, which both emulates high fashion’s penchant for naming items and creates a tag that is significantly more likely to lodge in the mind of the consumer than just an image or traditional product code. Image conscious women and men were suddenly provided with high fashion style for high street prices from a reliable brand. This sales strategy has been one of the most successful of recent years. Essentially the model that they have created is eminently effective marketing actually backed up by a good quality product at a good price. They are ticking all the boxes and this constantly creates a substantial amount of work but allows for continual reassessment and innovation.

Practical Management

One of the essential elements of a fashion brand is a quick turn around on products. The lead time for a new Sekonda watch is only 3 months, so their ‘cool hunters’ can capitalise on a trend within a relatively short time. They also have product launches every six months to facilitate this. This is a logistic nightmare. But thanks to a precise stock system, based upon perceptive use of market research and advertising strategies Sekonda have one of the lower waiting times for delivery in the watch sector. This has come to be essential in a market based upon rapidly changing fashions. At any time they have approximately 1 million watches in stock, yet aim to sell 600,000-700,000 of this stock within a short period. In addition to this they will also label products for individual retailers based on their systems rather than Sekonda’s. This further enables a speedy transition to the shop shelf.

Brand Management

The most visible and therefore the most important element of their sales is brand representation. In 2006 they had a marketing budget of £1.6 million, this increased to £1.9 million in 2007. A significant outlay which has yielded impressive results. This budget is in part spent on traditional magazine advertising including features in Heat, OK, Closer, Nuts and Zoo. But they have embraced new advertising realms. Noting the prevalence of media celebrity culture they have aligned their brand with a number of high profile celebrities; most recently Girls Aloud, Take That and Jack Osbourne. They have also sponsored television shows with anticipated high viewing figures such as the 2008 X-Factor. One of the most notable forms this has taken is the distinctive idents placed in advertising breaks, which include a number to text for your nearest Sekonda retailer. During the program “An Audience with Take That’ they received 1500 texts, the highest number ever recorded for this type of advertising. Putting aside for one moment the valuable brand exposure the ads provide, Sekonda have managed to turn TV advertising into actual sales. The effect of their campaign has filtered down right through the sales network. It is rarely that a customer asks for a specific watch that they have encountered through any advertising campaign. The retailer that I work for has received unprecedented numbers of enquiries about Seksy and One watches solely based on the effects of the TV campaigns.

The Future

Sekonda have entered into the travel retail market which as well as direct sales opportunities has the added benefit of brand exposure. Customers with enough capital to travel are a captive audience for the duration of flights. They are highly likely to browse the in-flight magazine the products are featured in even if they do not purchase anything. Other businesses have been keen to capitalize on Sekonda’s success. Virgin flights had Sekonda advertising running on the back cover of the summer edition of their magazine. Sekonda now sell their watches on a number of airlines, have flagship stores at major airports and are completing a number of deals to place shops in popular U.K. tourist destinations and in ex-pat communities located in Dubai, Spain, Sharm el Sheikh and South Africa. At present U.K. consumers account for approximately half of all Sekonda’s sales.

The new year is up and fashion ideas floats around from all corners. Here are some tips to change your looks for the new year. Firstly to begin with…

The O Sunglasses

Yes, they are back with reason being that you are able to wear them with just about anything and will come out looking glamorous. Whether in formals, summer shorts, jeans or gowns, these goggles from the past are here to stay.

Here’s the deal, you can look like Jackie O and go into your own fantasy world of sipping espressos on the side of a mid town café and later dance to the tune of soothing jazz while on a romantic night out. They also come in various price ranges and so make it easily accessible no matter how thick or thin your wallet happens to be.

Sunglasses in general are not all about a fashion statement of course, so with the dual purpose of protecting your eyes from the scorching sun, the windy dust and from eye make up melting away, this item of women accessory is a must.

A-line skirts

Skirts in general are fun to wear, because they are as feminine as it can get and simply allow your legs to be showed off in style or just consume some fresh air. Skirts too come with a lot of purposes and contrary to popular belief that skirts make women less efficient, these skirts are just about the most professional yet **** wear ever.

Made usually from soft wool or being in tweed, these gorgeous skirts come in a range of colors that are best suited for a classy work place without becoming too distracting. They come in black, gray and brown and with hemlines which can be both slightly above or just graze the knees, therefore providing a prim and proper presentation of the body. As mention before, they do all this with the **** show of perfect legs. They can be worn with crisp ironed skirt or even a nice blouse along with heels, which can then turn into an outfit best for after work get together.

Headscarves

Not everybody loves a hat and not everybody is able to maintain the perfect hairdo all day long. With a bad hair day in mind, we recommend headscarves to save the day. They are and have always been popular. They are classy as they are colorful and so brightens up the day no matter what.

These days they also come in a great range of light to heavy cotton. For a nice day ou t shopping, a long road trip where you want the wind blowing in your hair, but not really, to just another day out for a picnic, a barbeque a walk down the beach, enjoy it all without causing a bird’s nest.

High heels

They sound painful and for those first timers, they are painful, but you must always keep a pair just because they say everything from beautiful legs, class, style and elegance, they are as hot as they look. Keep a simple black in mind, and since they come in all price ranges, you can pick them without worry.

As spring approaches and the snow eventually begins to recede. Once again we enjoy the greenery that nature has provided us. It’s time to get the fly rod out in eager anticipation of another season of long, warm, lazy days spent at your favourite fishing hole.

It’s also the time that new, would be anglers are anticipating taking up the sport of fly-fishing. Conveniently there are many experts out there in cyberspace, with advice and articles on what are considered the best rods, reels and line etc. Many tackle shops are owned by, avid, experienced and highly skilled anglers. Who will provide the new comer with the much sought after advice on getting started in the sport.

The technology in rods, reels, flies and lines, has advanced by leaps and bounds, in the past 20 years or so. However, no matter how technologically advanced or expensive your fishing equipment is. It is only as good as the knot’s you tie! The knot may be the weak link in the chain when the fish strike.



Tying strong and reliable knots will enhance your chances of actually landing that fish. There are many books and resources available on how to tie knots, how to splice lines and which knot to use in various situations. I cannot emphasize enough the need to learn as much as you can about knot tying. It should be noted too, that practicing the tying of a variety of knots, greatly increases your chances for success.

Some anglers prefer to tie their knots the old fashioned way by hand. There is nothing wrong with that, as they say whatever floats your boat (if you’ll pardon the pun). If that isn’t for you there are a variety of tying tools you can get from virtually any angling store. These tools are very good especially for beginners. Knot tying tools can also be a real asset to anyone suffering from arthritis, or other debilitating condition.

Knot tying tools in many cases will allow you to tie stronger knots faster than you could by hand. Tying stronger knots increases your success rate. The least time spent tying knots, means you spend more time fishing and that’s what it’s all about.

Every man loves to wear a neck tie for any kind of formal or informal occasion. As such managing a neck tie becomes a tiring job when you are out for a business meeting or even creates embarrassing moments for you many times when it hangs out and spoils while you are out for lunch or dinner.

A tie clip is a small piece of men’s accessory that is used to keep a neck tie attaches to the underlying dress shirt. Tie clips are usually spring loaded at one end so that it slides horizontally across the tie for security. The front of a tie clip can be either plain or decorated with small precious or semi precious stones. Some tie clips even are custom designed such that they feature a company’s logo or any representation of other objects that interests the wearer.

You should not confuse tie clips with tie pins or tie clasps. Tie pins have a pin and backing design that resembles an earring along with a chain and stem that are placed through the button hole of a dress shirt for anchoring. Tie pins should penetrate the fabric of the tie in order to keep it securely fastened. But prolonged could lead to damage the expensive material if used in ties. Tie clips slide through shirt and tie without and a spring clip is usually light so that it prevents damaging the fabric.

Tie clips also serve very important function along with being decorative. Men’s ties are intended to cover the button of the dress shirt and also provide a line of contrast and interest. Many fashion experts often suggest that a properly selected tie conveys the personality of the wearer. Unfortunately, even the most expensive silk tie cannot compete with wind and gravity and can easily blow out of place with a quick gust of air and unsecured tie can also find its way into a paper shredder or other machine. A tie clip places approx two thirds of the way down the front of a neck tie and keep it secured through most situations.

Decorative tie clips have even become more popular as gift ideas for shoppers on a budget. There is a wide variety of styles available and one size may not fit all ties. Therefore, if you own many neck ties then you need to invest in functional tie clips for everyday occasions and higher end clips for formal events. Many times, tie clips are even bundled with matching cufflinks.
