How To Choose A Men's Watch

By Michelle Bery

When it comes to choosing the perfect watch – for you or someone you love – it can be difficult to narrow down the choices from all the available styles on the market. For women, who have already chosen several pieces of jewelry throughout their lives, choosing a watch may be easier for them than their male counterparts. Choosing a men's watch can be a bit more of a challenge. For many men, aside from their wedding ring, a watch may be the only piece of jewelry that they wear. And while the watch can be worn for functional reasons, it can also fill a role as a stylish accessory - even for men. Finding the perfect men's watch is about balancing these two functions in a way that's comfortable for the man wearing the watch.

For an athletic man who enjoys both indoor and outdoor sports, a men's watch that is streamlined, compact, and sporty may be the best choice. A men's watch of this variety may also include accessories beneficial for athletes - such as a stopwatch capacity, and heart rate monitor. For a career man who is in the public eye, a luxury men's watch that has glitz as well as functionality could be an appropriate selection. This particular men's watch can be a bit of an investment; but more often than not, its quality workmanship would match the price. This could be a classic timepiece that he can enjoy for many, many years.

The more casual man may prefer a trendier men's watch that depicts the latest styles and compliments a variety of looks. Many younger men gravitate towards the hottest men's watch on the market at the time, and while it can make quite a splash now, it may not be something he's interested in wearing as he gets older.

For those men who enjoy the value of a great antique, an antique men's watch could be something he will cherish. Or perhaps an older family member has a men's watch that can be cleaned and polished for a bright new future.

Ultimately, the best men's watch is the watch that its owner feels comfortable and confident wearing for many years!

Handbags – Choosing The Right Bag For You

By Kelly Price

Handbags are an accessory and are not worn on the body itself, which may sound obvious, but is something that affects the way women buys a handbag.

In many instances women buy without thinking of style or how it flatters their body.

If a handbag looks good, fits or is functional, then many women simply buy it without thinking how it changes their overall look.

A handbag however can affect your body, look and shape in the same way as a well fitting dress. Follow the tips below when choosing and buying a handbag, not only will it be in proportion with your body shape it, can also make you look slimmer.

Handbag Shapes

Try to choose a shape that is the opposite of your body type.

If you are slim and tall choose a slouchy, rounded bag to compliment your look.

If on the other hand your body type is short and heavier build, go for the opposite in your choice of handbag. Choose a handbag that is tall and rectangular or maybe long and sleek.

As a rule of thumb the rounder your figure, the more structured your bag needs to be.

Large rectangular or square handbags in soft leathers or fabrics will compliment your figure nicely. Scale

So we our first choosing a handbag tip is that the shape should be the opposite of your body type now we need to look at getting the right size of bag.

The scale of bag you choose is just as important as the size in relation to your body type when choosing a handbag.

The size of your handbag should ALWAYS be in proportion to your figure.

So here are some tips for choosing a handbag in relation to your body size.

Tall and slim

Being tall and slim allows you to get away with most purse styles. Oversize bags, shoulder bags and clutch bags will all look good.

The only point you need to keep in mind:

Is the size of the handbag you choose. Small bags should be avoided as they will make you look bigger. Mid size, large, floppy or bulky handbags are best. Petite

The most important point here is the size of the bag you carry.

Keep in mind scale. Small bags work best for petite women. Wear small bags and keep them close to your body.

Large hips

Choose one with a short strap, which can be tucked easily under the arm. A good look for a shoulder bag or a hobo bag that hangs slightly but ends well above the hips, any handbag that falls on the hips draws attention to this area you may not want!

Top heavy

If you have a large bust, you may want to draw attention away from your bosom. If you want to wear a shoulder bag make it one that has a long strap and is large in size.

Curvy Figure

A shoulder bag that ends just above the waist is the most flattering style. The only type of bags to avoid are ones that are too big or too small in relation to your overall body size.

Plus size

You need to keep away from bags that are small as they will look lost against your figure.

Go for bags of reasonable size i.e. in proportion to your body size with short to medium length straps.

As you can see bag type and size can influence your overall look and can make you look slimmer.

Having the wrong hand or shoulder bag can make you look bigger and can also draw attention to areas you may not want to emphasize.
