Tips For Men's Clothing

Tips For Men


So many guys have no idea how to dress, so kudos to you for taking the initiative! Being shy can be tough, but you can get yourself out of your shell a bit simply by dressing confidently.You are 100% correct about everything fashionable not working for everyone.I don't think you should go down the "trendy" route per say.Go for classic cuts that flatter your body type.Some basics you should start with. a pair of dark-wash straight-leg jeans, a pair of black dress pants, tan dress pants, dark colored button-up shirts, a nice fitted sweater (NO, not the tight turtleneck ones--opt for a looser version), and some everyday shoes like brown dress boots.When you walk into a store, look around before you do anything else.If you look at clothes and think. these aren't for me, then move on.American eagle is a great store for basics that are a little more casual.They have nice khaki pants and jeans, and a few fun buttons up shirts.Express Men's is another store I recommend.There, you will find dressier stuff, like black and tan dress pants, and some dressier tops.Don't be afraid to ask sales people for help--that's their job and you will probably save them the boredom of standing around with nothing to do.First, look around the entire store.If you find something you might like, try it on, or ask a sales person if they think it would work well for you, and what to wear with it.They will be glad to help, I promise.And the most important rule is to try everything on! Make sure that it fits properly before you buy it (ask a trusted friend or a salesperson).For basic everyday wear, I always love guys in nice fitting jeans (not too short or too tight and something with a dark wash).Steer clear of really light wash Levis.They are not flattering on anyone.For dressier pants, a nice khaki pant is always good.For these, it is worth it to spend a little money because you will get more wear out of them.So they should fit really well.You can actually find nice ones at the gap or men's express.For casual-wear, t shirts are always good.I'm a fan of the ones that have a bit of a vintage feel.Just make sure that the shirt is fitted.Most guys buy shirts way too big and the end result is that they look sloppy.It shouldn't be ridiculously skin-tight, but it should lay against the skin a bit.For dressier shirts, I LOVE express for men.I promise they aren't paying me to tell you this, but that store is great for guys.They have really nice button up shirts for $25 and they fit really well, because they have a bit of stretch in them.They have so many different colors.Do yourself a favor and stay away from pink and purple.Not many guys can pull it off and it's too tricky.Go for a blue shirt to match your eyes.Probably any darker color would go well with your hair.Dark green, burgundy, etc.So those are all the basics.Get yourself a good pair of jeans, a nice pair of khakis, a few fitted t-shirts, and a couple button down shirts and you should be good to go.

Coin Collecting - Pennies, Quarters and the American Eagle Silver Dollar

Coin Collecting - Pennies, Quarters and the American Eagle Silver Dollar


The hobby of coin collecting can be challenging and exciting for those who wish to undertake it.Although coin shops today can be a little intimidating, and you can quickly become overwhelmed by the size and scope of coin collecting, we hope to guide you into this intriguing and sometimes valuable hobby.Coins have several different values that we should define before we start.The first value is what is referred to as the face value and what is stamped directly on the front of the coinage.An example would be quarters (25 cents), dime (10 cents), and a penny (1 cent).The second value is the precious metal value of the coin.For instance pre-1965 dimes, quarters, and nickels actually have a high content of silver.The use of silver was discontinued in this coinage because the cost of the metal rose to the point that the metal content of the coin was worth more than the face value.Many of us can remember the same thing happening to the price of copper and the changing of the metal content in a penny to compensate for the rising cost of the precious metal in 1982.The third type of value is referred to the numismatic value or the collectors' value.This value is different from the face or metal value in that it is derived by a coins uniqueness and value to other coin collectors.Some examples of these types of coins are the Buffalo Head nickel and the Liberty Head Nickel.The first place to start on your journey of coin collecting is right in your pocket.That pocket change from the vending machine or left over from grabbing your morning coffee can be the perfect entrance into this hobby.Although coins might have a high numismatic or metal value they still may be in circulation at their face value and just waiting for you to find them and add them to your collection!The purchase of a coin guide from your local coin shop or book store can help you start identifying which coins are worth keeping and which ones are better to use at face value.Start small with pennies and quarters and then work your way up.Your number one asset will be your diligence in checking coins as they come into your possession.Once you are comfortable you can then take the next step into precious metal coinage such as the American Silver Eagle and Gold American Eagle.The cost of these coins actually fluctuates with the cost of the precious metals as they are minted 99.99% pure by the U.S.Mint.Hopefully this has helped get you started and enjoying the hobby of coin collecting.Remember keep your eyes open as you never know when that Buffalo Head Nickel might cross your path!
