Men have their place in the fashion world too

It seems that the fashion
industry is geared only towards
women. And for the most part, it
is.

A little part of the industry

‘ exclusiviely to
men. That's why I decided to
write this article. To let men
know that they also have their
Place in fashion.

There is more out there than
just jeans and T-shirts. There's

i with these items,
but why not add a blazer and
loafers instead of sneakers for
that relaxed, well-dressed look.

When going out, keep the T-
shirt and blazer, but where dress
pants instead of jeans, and dress
shoes instead of loafers. If your
going to a job-interview, the

L. are very much
influenced by appearances.

Depending on where you want to
work, you should really consider
what you are going to wear.

Part time job? Then wear casu-
al dress pants, shirt (both must be
neatly pressed) and casual shoes.
If you are applying for an office.
job, a suit is the way to go. Grey

Joan Andrade

and dark blue are the most popu-
lar colours for suits. Combine this
with a white shirt and fashionable
tie (colourful prints, etc), and you
provide the impression of maturi-
ty and responsibility.

Avoid pastel colours and
browns. Pastel colours are
wimpy and browns are downright
boring. Women aren't the only
ones who can accessorize their
clothing. Men can to. There are
watches, boots, hats, rings, neck-
laces etc, which all add to create
“the look"

In Europe, men as well as
women, Carry around purses,
designed specifically for the man.
They don't have shoulder Straps.
Instead, these purses have a wrist
strap. These purses hold wallets,
Pens, extra change, paper etc.

You men may be laughing
right now as you read this, think-

ing how unsexy, and unmascv- ‘

line it'is for a-man to Carry a
urse. 4

Bananas area high energy
‘00d containing Vitamins A, B,
jand C, and are rich in potassium,
ja mineral required for muscle
functioning. Raw bananas should
be eaten when the skin turns yel
lowish with brown spots. They
jare then fully ripe and contain
sugar. Unripe bananas are as
hard to digest as raw potatoes,
jalthough cooking them makes
them more digestible. It's true
that bananas are a favourite
snack because they come pre-
wrapped in a germproof, dirt-
proof peel, but any left over can
jadd wonderful flavour to all your
baking
