In the fashion world, one of the most forgotten pieces of a man’s suits is his socks. This does not mean socks are not an important part of the wardrobe however. Choosing the wrong sock material or colour can greatly affect how your suits appear and can play a big role in how others view you as a professional. Here are just a few basic things to consider when choosing a pair socks on CoolDeSocks to go with your suits.

Type of Socks

Okay, we don’t want to insult anyone’s fashion sense, but it should be mentioned that when you are picking out a sock to go with a suit, your first choice should not be a pair of athletic socks. They aren’t even appropriate if they are dark coloured. There are a couple of reasons for this:

• Athletic socks are made for athletic shoes, not dress shoes. If you

It’s been pouring like crazy in Bali. After a long anticipation, finally we can enjoy the cool breeze and relaxing sound of the rain. Our house is close to rice paddies and empty lots so when the wind is blowing our way, it can be quite cold. This wet season always makes me feel lazy and mellow, and I really don’t feel like going out unless it’s necessary. As much as I miss the summer sun (and my brand new pair of David Beckham sunglasses), I just love curling up at home with a good book, good movies and of course, good food. Now I know winter isn’t the same with rain, but since the rain here also comes with the wind and storm, I’d like to keep myself warm at home. Anyways, here’s what I think you can do (besides turning the heater on) to keep yourself cozy … Read the rest

Remember the time when bell-bottom jeans were the clothing accessory to own. But soon, bell-bottoms went out of fashion and with the later fashion trends, even came to be regarded as ugly. Just last year, we saw a resurgence of bell-bottoms as a new fashion trend. This shows how fashion is a tricky business, always changing and shifting.

But, not every commodity in the fashion industry observes this routine of fading and resurging. Several fashion accessories have been in fashion since as far back as we can remember. This defies the general rule of fashion that focuses on teaching everything, from learning how to do your makeup for school to how to tie the best Windsor knot in your tie, with the assumption that fashion will change.

Yet, these accessories never go out of fashion:

1.     A plain white tee

Whether it is a day at the beach, a casual … Read the rest

Leather has always been a part of our world

Human beings have used the hides of animals since prehistoric times.  Animals were killed for food and their skins were then used as clothing, footwear and the construction of tools.  At some point it was discovered that animal hides could be preserved by means of tanning, using tree bark and leaves.  Tanning techniques are mentioned in ancient Assyrian texts and Homer’s Iliad.  

The oldest surviving leather tanning tools date back to around 5000BCE. By 500 BCE the ancient Greeks had established a flourishing trade in vegetable tanned leather. 

By the 14^th Century, leather was being used for elaborate luxury goods, such as cases, chests and book bindings. Chromium tanning was invented in the 1850’s and revolutionised the speed at which leather could be produced.  Vegetable tanning can take up to two months, but Chromium tanning can be completed in as … Read the rest
