Steven Land Shirts and Ties are Available

If you're a serious mens fashion suit aficionado, I'm pretty sure you've got some Steven Land Shirts and Steven Land Big Knot Ties in your wardrobe. Steven Land Dress Shirts are Italian Styled 100% Cotton dress shirts with contrasting cuffs and collars that are very fashionable and look great with your fashion mens suits. Steven Land was started in 1990 by opening his very own design house making bold looking hand made silk ties that he thought were superior than was what available at that time. He first started selling ties after he came to the United States from Israel back in 1986 and quickly developed and affinity for the business. It wasn't long before Steven Land got the desire to go bigger and better with his own line top quality 100% silk ties with expressive prints. After his design house got underway he decided to do what was the next natural step and design 100% cotton dress shirts that were as bold as his silk ties were. It was a match made in heaven.

Now since we at ContempoSuits.com are always looking to add new bold suit and dress shirt lines to our website, Carrying Steven Land dress shirts was just a natural thing to do. They really make a nice looking dress shirt and their ties are truly a cut above the rest.  Steven Land has become famous with his Big Knot Tie Collection as well which is silk tie that features a thicker construction resulting in  a big knot which looks great when worn with a spread collar dress shirt. The big knot fills the wide space that an ordinary tie simply can't do when knotted. For the man of bold suit fashion, I highly recommend checking them out at Contemposuits.com.

New Fall 2010 Mens Suits are Available

One thing that is often said about the weather is if you don't like it now, just wait a little and it will change, especially up North in Connecticut where we are located. One of my favorite seasons is quickly approaching, it's a season where you as man can dress your very best and look comfortable. I'm talking about Fall. Fall or Autumn is a season where the rich earthy colors come out for suits and accesories I'm guessing to match the color changes of the leaves that are about to drop. We at ContempoSuits.com have just received thousands of new fall mens suits from classic pinstripe suits to urban fashion suits and even the brand new Category of Mens Fitted Suits from Vinci. We have them in all  the classic colors like black,gray and navy, as well as fashion tones like olives,taupes and slates. You'll find a suit that will fit your style and need at ContempoSuits.com

Weejuns

Even if you don't quite recognize the name, you'll know what they are immediately after seeing them. Weejuns are the original penny loafer made by Bass Shoes and are an American Icon which has been copied by virtually every shoe manufacturer since. Weejuns are a hand stitched mocassin loafer with a leather shoe bottom that come in three basic styles, the strap penny,beefroll penny and the kilt tassle loafer. They are essentially all the same shoe except with the style changes. Weejuns have been around since the 1930s seen in offices, college campuses and kickin' around on the city streets. Bass knew what he was doing when he designed them because Weejuns are a loafer that just gets more comfortable with each wearing. When the heel or soles start to wear out, don't even consider not getting them resoled. It's completely worth it. Weejuns are the shoes you will have for years and you'll want to get them in several styles.

Linen Suits for Men

I always hear customers complaining that it's too hot outside to wear a suit. I always respond to them that they are wearing the wrong suit for the summer. You need a lighter weight fabric suit but most of all I recommend wearing Linen Suits. Mens linen suits are just what the fashion doctor ordered for the well dressed man to wear in the summer because linen by it's very nature is a looser woven breathable fabric that even the ancient Egyptians revered 5000 years ago. Linen suits for men generally come as two piece single breasted style suits in lighter colors such as natural tan or white. They are a wonderful way to dress when it's hot and sticky outside but you still need to look put together. Now don't think that you can wear a linen suit to the office unless your office involves being around a pool or beach environment. Linen suits are strict a casual dress attire. Some people don't like linen because it  wrinkles easily but I say that's because they don't understand the concept of wearing linen. The wrinkling of linen suits is part of their charm and casual nature. That is one of the reasons you don't wear linen suits to an office. That's the reason you wear linen suits for men during your relaxing days of style.

Having Fun Wearing Mens Suits


Now remember, this bit of advice does not apply to certain circumstances such as job interviews, conservative work environments. Let's say you already have several mens suits in your wardrobe but you just don't wear them much because let's face it, you're bored with them. It's not the suits you have in your closet, it's what you're doing with them. You can wear mens suits more often than you think in a whole variety of ways that are fun and will make you look great when going out. Think of your basic mens suit as a canvas and you're an artist. Just take a little bit of time and creativity wearing that suit you have. Here are a few encouraging new ways to wear a mens suit for fun. One of my favorite ways to wear a mens suit is for going out sans tie, yes, sans tie. I like to take a nice suit and wear it with a french cuff shirt maybe in a fashion color that contrasts to the dark color of the suit. That look is always a winner when you're going out to a trendy bar/restaurant. Picture wearing a charcoal or navy two button suit with a teal or wine color french cuff dress shirt and you'll get the idea. The second way to spice up your basic color mens suits is to wear a dress shirt and tie combination that is bright and bold. The type of colors you would never wear to work but for going out will make you look like you're a trend setter and having fun. You can also wear that grey suit you have and pick let's say a nice rich color rust dress shirt and tie that matches and make your boring suit that you thought had no life in it Pop. All you need to do is bring out that little bit of creativity in you and you'll soon be wearing your suits more often.
