Men’s Fashion – 5 Tips For Camouflaging and Not One Involves Fatigues

Filed Under (PLR Articles) by Lori Ann Robinson on 30-06-2010

Hey guys, do you look in the mirror, wish you looked hip, and cool without looking like you stepped out of a music video or Saturday Night Fever? If you think you need some help, then you probably do. If you don’t think you need help, then you definitely do! So, read on for some great dressing guidelines from me. Dressing men is one of my favorite things, because just a few tips can make a big difference for you. Of course, I do love menswear and helping men look and feel their best. Moreover, because I have dressed many men on television and in private life. I know just what is needed.

First, it does not matter what shape you are. You can have a body like Brad Pitt or Sponge Bob, and still look great, IF you know what to wear. Second, buy what fits you regardless of the size on the tag. All designers cut clothes differently. For example, Hugo Boss tends to cut narrow. Some of his labels, especially in small sizes, run very tight and narrow and would barely fit your baby brother. You may need to size up to get the right fit. Third, if you have to disguise some extra pounds or gain a few pounds because the only six pack you own is in your frig, then read on for some more dressing tips.

Broaden your chest:

Lighter colors and interesting details around shoulders in clothing will make you appear broader
Avoid clothes fitting too tight unless you are going for the scrawny, rock star look
Horizontal stripes will be your friend, and make you look wider, verticals will only make you look narrow
Heavier, textured fabrics and knits will give you needed upper body bulk
Slightly wider lapels on jackets (now don’t get crazy on me and do a total 70’s flashback)
Layering shirts is another trick that will add dimension to your chest

Take my belly…please!

Vertical stripes will give you a long lean look
Dark and muted colors are best to camouflage, along with lightweight, soft, matte fabrics. Never shiny Boogie Nights specials
Shirts too baggy will only make you look bigger. Skim the body, Baby!
Wear your pants at your waist guys! Under the belly will make you look heavier. Trust me on this one!
Opt for suits that are dark, pinstripes will be amazing
Try a 1 or 2 button jacket to give you a sleek silhouette
Monochromatic dressing will always make you look like you lost 10 lbs

Do not forget to look at the rear view:

If you have a full-size butt:

Pants need to be a bit looser (I am not talking clown styles here), relaxed, easy fit. Flat fronts will work but make sure they are not so tight that the front pockets stick out, go up a size if needed
Waistline of pant should not be too high. Otherwise, your butt will look even bigger. Think elephant!
Keep pants dark and sleek. Pants with a lot of whistles and bells will add attention to hip area

If you have a pancake butt:

Back pocket details such as flaps add heft
Baggy pants still not good here, makes your butt look flatter
Jackets and long shirt tails that hit below the hip are best for camouflage

Check your neck:

Thin necks need a wide spread dress shirt collar to give width
Thick necks should stick to a regular point collars and open neck styles look awesome
V necks will make your neck look thinner, crew neck will emphasize thickness
Turtlenecks on long necks only, makes short necks look thicker and well… like a turtle

Arms and the man

Great arms, flaunt them with short sleeves and tapered shirts
Skinny arms need more fabric around them to look fuller, layers again, will be your friend, along with sweaters
Thin arms look better long sleeved shirts with sleeves rolled, and then short sleeves. Gives your arms bulk
Big biceps need full cut shirts, and sometimes custom shirts are best to get a perfect fit

So there, you have my tips for emphasizing the positive and eliminating the negative. Hey guys, I do not think I have worked with anyone who has not looked significantly better with these few adjustments. My fourth tip is to find a fabulous tailor to achieve great style and terrific fitting clothes (this may take time to find the “one” but it is well worth the effort!). And my fifth and final tip is to know your skin color and best colors and use them to your advantage. Darker colors really do diminish your not -so -hot spots and light colors highlight your hot ones. Beyond darks and lights, there are cool and warm colors, mixing patterns, etc. but those pointers are for future articles, so stay tuned.

Honeywell Home Security Systems – An Overview

Filed Under (PLR Articles) by Ara Rubyan on 30-06-2010

In this article, I’d like to try to help you figure out the size and scope of product solutions offered by Honeywell.

Let me say right up front that I’m not Honeywell rep. I do not make any money buying or selling Honeywell products. I’m just like you — I’m a homeowner who wants to figure out what sorts of products Honeywell offers; the names that they’re sold under and what they do. Once I’ve done that, I can make an informed decision about the best solution for me and my family.

By now, you probably know that Honeywell is (among other things) a global supplier and distributor of residential and commercial security systems. In addition, Honeywell monitors millions of private homes commercial businesses and government facilities all over the world.

Honeywell’s residential security systems are installed through a network of local dealers.These dealers are trained to understand your needs and respond in a way that’s appropriate. They’ll discuss your lifestyle with you and build a system that meets your needs.

For example, some families have young children. If that describes your family then perhaps you want a system that alerts you when your kids come home from school. Your Honeywell dealer can design a home security system for you that meets that need.

On the other hand if you’re business owner with an small office or home office, you might have an area that needs extra protection (expensive office equipment, valuable records, etc.). If that describes your situation, then your Honeywell dealer can discuss with you the installation of a system that includes motion detectors or cameras.

Ademco Home Security Systems: The Relationship To Honeywell

When considering the scope of possibilities, be aware that Honeywell offers a wide range of products marketed under many different labels. You probably are already aware of the Ademco line, but there are quite a few other brands in the Honeywell home security system family.

The Honeywell product family can be divided into broad categories of hardware including (but not limited to):

Control Panels: Ademco, Apex, Omni, Lynx
Keypads: Ademco, Apex, Omni
Expansion Modules: Ademco, Apex, Omni
DIY Kits: Ademco, Omni, Lynx
Wireless Accessories: Apex, Street Smart, Life Safety
Alarm Communications: Optiflex
Sensors: Dual Tec, V-Plex
Smoke Detectors: V-Plex
…and much more.

Who, Or What, Is AlarmNet?

One last thing that I found interesting: As you might know, most alarm systems communicate with the monitoring company using telephone lines. But for those of you who were concerned that the phone line might be cut during a burglary, Honeywell has a reliable alternative called AlarmNet.

AlarmNet is a radio network run by Honeywell that has extensive coverage in the United States and Canada. It gives you a second layer of protection — beyond your phone line — in the event of a home intrusion or other kind of emergency. This means peace of mind for you and your family. And isn’t that what a home security system is all about?

Conclusion

Again, in closing: I am not a Honeywell representative, nor do I make any money by recommending their products. It’s just that Honeywell offers a complete line of excellent products. When considering a security solution for your family and/or business, you should consider them when making an informed decision.

Now, he’s put all his research (so far) in one convenient location and he’s sharing it with you, no strings attached.
