BOW DOWN

We should give it up for bow ties for never losing their place in fashion..The bow tie originated among Croatian during the Prussian wars of the 17th century: the Croat mercenaries used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts.This was soon adopted to be the cravat .

we have the regency cravat....

the victorian cravat

and the classic cravat..

The cravat then evolved into the bow tie .
we have the polka dot bow tie

the stripped bowtie

the tweed bowtie..ope you remember the tweed material from our earlier post on jackets..

 The silk bow tie..

And for the gothic/ bikers we have the studded and leather bow ties..

Get a good feeling from the velvet bow ties  

The  Denim bow tie..oh this is a classic..

Here is a tutorial on how to tie one..

BAG MAN

Any man of fashion knows that bags have become a necessary tool and style accessory...

 This is the message bag.. Often made from canvas and swung across the shoulder, messenger bags have taken on a whole new meaning in urban fashion coz they r now designed as urban school bags..

Then we have the holdall..jus as the name goes hold all..

The most common of all..the briefcase...but they nolonger come in boring shapes like before

We also have laptop bags that come in very good shapes and designs..

   

 the tote which is a large and open bag, with a handle centered atop each side...looks somehow like a female bag

The newsboy bag...looks more like the messenger bag bt but its traditional canvas exterior makes it a little less formal.

the camera bag...smaller version of messenger bag..its a classic men's bag coz of its ability to bring a touch of masculinity to an outfit, even if it is hanging from your shoulder...

travelling bags  for that safari..

the wallet..yes its also a bag..it carries ur money ryt..probably the most important..

 the card holder.. for my business man

Bag up my man..you have quite some options there..
