How to Implement a Quick but Effective Skincare Routine into Your Day

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Performing some daily skincare routines can seem time-consuming, while others might not even seem worthwhile. But the fact is, there’s a skincare routine for everyone. You just have to know what products to use and how to incorporate a good skincare routine into your day. That might mean waking up a little earlier each day or making other concessions that help you give your skin the royal treatment day in and day out.

If you want beautiful, glowing, healthy skin that gives you the confidence you need as you age, keep the following in mind when choosing a skincare routine of your own. 

Wake Up Earlier

If time seems to be the culprit, aim to wake up just a little earlier than you normally would. That way you’ll have time to get up and perform your skincare routine and still have time to do what you normally do in the mornings. Once you have a skincare routine down pat, time yourself. Then, you’ll know how much earlier you have to wake up each morning to get everything done on time and look good doing it.

Learn the Basics

Implementing a skincare routine for the first time can be a little overwhelming and sometimes pretty frustrating. But learning the basics is the first step to successfully getting on track with a skincare routine of your own.

The first thing you need to do is find a cleaner. Then, detoxify and balance your skin with a toner. Lastly, you’ll need a moisturizer to hydrate and soften your skin. Keep all of these steps in mind and you’ll have a youthful-looking glow as you continue to age.

beauty-guide-perfect-skin-types

Get Your Beauty Sleep

Getting enough sleep is another simple way to make your skincare a priority. Not getting enough sleep can lead to:

  • Thinning hair
  • Dark circles under your eyes
  • Wrinkles and drooping skin (and an aged appearance)
  • Bags under your eyes
  • Breakouts
  • Dehydrated complexion and redness

These are reasons enough to ensure you start getting enough sleep at night. According to WebMD, if you’re getting less than six hours of sleep a night, it’s most likely affecting your appearance.

Learn Your Skin Type & Find the Right Products

Not all products are going to work the same way for everyone because we all have different skin types.

Some people have oily skin, while others have dry skin. Oily skin is caused by an excess of oil production and causes greasy-looking skin. Dry skin is skin that’s rough or flaky and typically feels tight after it’s washed. Some people have combination skin — meaning areas of your skin might be drier than others. And others have sensitive skin, which means it could be more prone to burning, redness, or itchiness after using some skincare products.

Finding the right products is essential to implementing a skincare routine into your day. So if you don’t already know your skin type and have the right products, it’s time to start paying more attention to your body and searching for products that can help you. You could also try searching for products for all skin types. For example, using Rodan + Fields’ Redefine Anti-Aging Regimen is a comprehensive and convenient way to build a dermatologist approved anti-aging skincare routine into your day or night.

beauty-routine-perfect-skin

Washing Your Way to a More Youthful Appearance

Implementing a skincare routine into your day or night is essential to targeting fine lines and wrinkles, as well as for firming the skin. If you’re new to skincare, remember to start with the basics and work your way through the rest of the steps, such as finding the right products and learning your skin type. Then you’ll be on your way to a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Congrats on that Luxury Purchase. Now’s the Hard Part.

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Most of us spend so much time dreaming about buying that luxury sports car, oceanside villa, or antique boudoir, that we don’t actually consider what goes into owning those things. Which is why so many people find themselves surprised by the logistics, maintenance, and new problems around what they thought would be the solution to all their problems. 

It doesn’t have to be that way though. Of course, no sane person is going to interrupt their fantasies of a dream home or fancy car to ponder the best maintenance services and the right buff-and-polish regiments. But if and when those dreams become a reality, you’re left open to a sense of shock and dissolution, which you can easily avoid with some practical thinking.     

So whether you just made your dream purchase, are saving up for the big day, or are still in the daydream phase, consider these easy necessities that you’ll need to take cover to make sure that your beautiful new villa, sports car, or furniture piece will be well taken care and make you as happy as you dreamed it would. 

Transporting Luxury Goods  

Congratulations! You’ve finally purchased that Steinway piano, collectible art piece, or posh dining room set. 

So–how are you going to move it? Because let’s face it–those college students with a truck who move people into their dorms on the weekends aren’t going to cut it. 

This is the reason white-glove and luxury moving companies exist. You may think that the hard part is done–you’ve saved up, after all, and made your purchase. But all it takes is one wrong step on the staircase, or one hallway corner turned too quickly, to turn your new beloved piece into damaged goods. 

steinway-piano

And it’s not just the luxury item you’re protecting–but your home, too. Read this in depth review of an elite moving service to understand how white-glove movers put equal attention on protecting your goods and the space they’ll be moving them into. Just as you don’t want to end up with a scrape on your new dining room table, you also don’t want to end up with nicked walls or scuffed hardwood floors in your home. 

Preserving Luxury Goods  

Homes are meant to be lived in. Sofas are meant to be sat on. Cars are meant to be driven. 

While acquiring your luxury home or car may feel like the biggest accomplishment, and you may think it’s all easy sailing from there, preserving their look and value against the ravages of time, weather, and everyday usage is critically important. 

That’s why it’s a good idea to prepare for the effort it will take to take care of your prized possessions. While this isn’t necessarily difficult, it may take a bit of research. After all, you don’t want to leave your precious Tag Heuer with the first watch-repair shop you pass. 

If you’ve purchased a luxury home, you’ll want to find the best designers, roofers, installation experts, and landscapers available. If you’ve purchased a luxury car, be prepared to learn about luxury car detailing. If you have new jewelry, find the best polishers, repair specialists, and appraisers available, and if it’s a new furniture collection you’ve invested in, it’s more than wise to seek out the best cleaners, upholsters, and wood or fabric specialists out there. 

The Higher the Value, the Larger the Responsibility 

It’s natural to think that fine living will solve all of our problems. But the truth is that luxury goods present their own responsibilities that may require even more vigilance and effort. That said, it’s more than worth the research and effort that goes into keeping your dream home, car, or jewelry as dreamy as it was on the day you bought it. So go ahead and celebrate that new purchase, but keep in mind that if you don’t take a few considerations to heart, it won’t live up to your dreams for long.

13 Rose Color Shades and What They Mean

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Buying roses for someone means they must be special since they’re pretty much considered the diamonds of all flowers. Indeed, when you gift someone a pretty bouquet of roses — no matter the color — you’re showing the recipient just how much they mean to you.

Over the years, if you’ve received different color roses and don’t know what they symbolize, or you’re thinking of buying some for that special someone in your life, here’s a guide to 13 rose color shades and their significance. This way, you can say what you mean and mean what you say, or correctly decipher whatever message you’re receiving.

1. Red Rose

Considered one of the most popular rose colors, red roses symbolize love. It’s no wonder people send them to their loved ones on Valentine’s Day and for anniversaries and other special occasions. Red-colored roses also symbolize passion, beauty, courage, enduring romance and energy.

2. White Roses

White roses are meant to symbolize youthfulness, purity and innocence, which is why you see so many brides using white roses or simply the color white throughout their ceremony. It’s because white roses are associated with young love and eternal loyalty.

3. Blue Roses

Blue roses symbolize mystery, dreams unlikely to be realized and the impossible. If you give someone a blue rose, you’re indicating to them how amazing and unique they are. They’re also perfect for non-traditional women.

4. Pink Roses

Pink roses symbolize grace, femininity, sweetness and elegance, making them a great gift for teachers, siblings, parents, friends and colleagues. In other words, send pink roses to someone in appreciation of something they’ve done for you.

5. Yellow Roses

In Victorian times, the yellow rose symbolized jealousy, but these days beautiful yellow roses symbolize joy and friendship. They can also be used to express gladness, warmth, affection and delight.

6. Peach Roses

Peach roses symbolize gratitude, modesty, sincerity and genuineness. Giving peach roses would be a great idea for a simple “thank you,” or for sending best wishes to family and friends. Peach flowers would also work for closing a business deal.

roses-colors-guide

7. Purple Roses

Purple is the color of royalty, so it only makes sense that purple roses symbolize royalty, opulence and majestic glory. You can send purple roses to a friend, relative or colleague who has recently lost someone close to them.

8. Black Roses

Black roses usually signify something negative, like an omen, but they can also be seen as a new beginning. That’s because they sometimes bloom into purple or red flowers. All in all, though, avoid giving black roses to someone (unless you’re going on a spooky Halloween date).

9. Ivory Roses

Ivory roses are similar to white roses, but they mean something completely different. They represent charm, gracefulness and thoughtfulness. Give ivory roses to let someone know you care about them (without any romantic connotations).

10. Orange Roses

Different than peach roses, orange roses are a deeper orange color and stand for energy, enthusiasm, fascination and desire. You can give someone orange roses when you’re proud of something they accomplished, as these roses also symbolize excitement and admiration. Additionally, they’re also great for celebrating a beautiful summer romance.

11. Lavender Roses

Lavender roses are known for symbolizing enchantment and splendor. They’re great to send to a secret crush or a former lover you’ve been trying to get back.

12. Green Roses

The color green symbolizes fertility and rejuvenation. That’s why green roses can symbolize bounty, richness and abundance. This color has also been known to have the ability to impart peace, stability and balance to the human mind. Give someone a green rose when you want to surprise them or put a smile on their face.

13. Multi-Colored Roses

If you want to send several different messages all at once, you can always opt for mixed colors when you buy a rose bouquet. Figure out what it is you want to say and choose the appropriate colors.

Picking the Perfect Color

Roses come in multiple colors — and, as you’ve just read, they all mean different things. So, if you want to send the right message when buying a certain color bouquet of roses — or if you recently received some and want to decipher what they represent —  this short guide can help and then some.

How To Keep Your Skin Elegant Looking

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Most people want their skin to be clean and nice, and even though there are several different products on the market that will keep your skin looking nice, some of them aren’t what they claim to be. 

With so many different products out there, it can be difficult to figure out which ones actually work. This article will teach you how to keep your skin looking nice by letting you know what products are safe to use, and what certain practices should be added to your skincare routine. Here’s how you can keep your skin looking elegant:

Talk To Your Dermatologist

It’s also a good idea to talk with your dermatologist if you want to keep your skin elegant looking. Your dermatologist will be able to tell you whether or not a certain product is suitable for you, or if you would be better off undergoing certain procedures or treatments. 

It’s always good idea to talk to your dermatologist first to find out how your skin would possibly react to certain products before you start using them. Remember, the skin is very sensitive and should never be exposed to any type of product unless approved by your dermatologist. You should never use something on your skin that you’re allergic to as this can only result in acne and irritation. Moreover, your dermatologist might even recommend procedures, such as those available at https://aesyracuse.com/, to help you achieve clear and smooth skin.

Use An Exfoliating Cleanser

One of the best ways to make sure that your skin stays youthful and fresh all the time is to use an exfoliating cleanser. There are several types of exfoliation cleansers available, and they work very well to keep your skin smooth and clear. 

When it comes to choosing the right exfoliating cleaner, you should only use a natural product, such as a rose scrub. Never use any exfoliating cleaners with artificial ingredients, such as artificial fruit extracts, as these ingredients can cause more harm than good to your skin. As much as possible, only use products with natural ingredients for your skin.

Change Your Diet

Another tip for healthier skin is to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are essential to the overall health of your body as these are filled with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that have a ton of great things for your skin. 

Fruits like berries and oranges are full of antioxidants that can repair dead skin cells and prevent oxidative damage that can cause wrinkles and fine lines. Green leafy vegetables, such as kale, spinach, and cabbage, can prevent acne and keep your skin moisturized. You can easily find these types of foods on any supermarket.

Remove Makeup Before Sleeping

For you to keep your skin elegant looking, make sure to remove any makeup that has been applied before you sleep. Even though you may be exhausted after a hard day at work, it’s important to remove your makeup before you head to bed. 

Beauty experts agree that it’s important to remove your makeup well before you even go to sleep to keep your skin clean and prevent clogged pores that can result in redness and irritation. You can do this by putting a small amount of soap and water onto a cotton ball and gently wiping your face before going to sleep.

Drink More Water

Another good tip to help you achieve elegant looking skin is to drink more water. Water doesn’t only keep you hydrated, but it also keeps your skin moisturized. Water also flushes out toxins and makes it much easier for your skin to be healthy.

Many people don’t realize how important water is to their skin, so make sure that you don’t commit the same mistake. Prioritize drinking at least eight glasses of water every single day, and drink more if you have a very active lifestyle.

Wash Your Skin Gently

Finally, it’s important to wash your skin gently for you to keep your skin looking elegant. Using harsh soaps or cleaners may irritate the skin, and this could lead to skin problems down the road. Washing your face twice a day will help maintain your skin’s natural beauty and health. This will prevent breakouts and other problems, and it’ll keep your skin looking radiant and healthy.

Your Consistency Counts

There are many easy ways on how you can keep your skin elegant looking, too many that even men and women who have busy daily schedules can always a follow a strategy that fits their lifestyle. 

However, the key to achieving elegant looking skin isn’t solely based on the skincare routine you’ll follow; your consistency is just as important. Taking care of your skin is a long-term commitment, which is why you should follow the tips in this article as regularly as possible.

7 Ways to be More Emotionally Connected With Your Partner

Carol Highland
-

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Emotional connection is an essential ingredient in every relationship. It comes with joy, more depth, and intimacy. When you are emotionally connected with your partner, you tend to be healthier and create a secure attachment. Contrary to what most people think, deepening your emotional connection with your partner is not a sign of weakness, immaturity, or co-dependence. It’s a crucial aspect of your adult working system. 

But people sometimes allow everyday activities like reading feeds on social media, office workloads, etc. to affect the emotional connection of their relationship. And if there’s no emotional intimacy in your relationship, you are likely to find your partner boring. If you have been wondering how you can deepen your emotional connection with your partner, these 7 tips will help you. 

#1. Spend More Quality Time together

Naturally, the more memorable time you spend with your partner, the more emotionally connected you will become. So, think of any activity that will genuinely create a deep bond between you and your soulmate. 

Going on a date night is awesome. But it may not create the kind of impact you expect if you make it seem like a regular date. For instance, taking your partner on a date night and discussing politics and other trending topics may not deepen any emotional connection. 

So, always spend time with your partner on activities that make you focused on each other. For example, you can take a scenic drive with your partner to get an ice-cream, cook together, etc. These activities will help you to hash out stressors and improve your emotional intimacy with your partner. 

love-guide-to-improve-relationships

#2. Always Be Curious 

Curiosity is one of the easiest ways to be more emotionally connected with your partner. It allows you to understand why your partner reacts differently to an issue. If you understand the reason behind all your partner’s actions, it will be easy for you to have an open-minded conversation because you can put yourself in their situation. This helps to build empathy. 

You may not know this, but building empathy helps you to be more emotionally connected with your partner. After all, if you don’t care, there’s no way you could have built empathy. 

#3. Improve Your Sex Life 

If your sex life with your partner is great, there will be a great emotional connection between both of you. This is because whenever you have great intercourse with your partner, oxytocin is released to your body. Oxytocin is a hormone that helps to improve your social functioning and helps create a bond, trust, and loyal. 

However, if your sex life is boring, you can reinvigorate your sex life with tantric sex. It’s the deeply meditative and intimate discovery of you and your partner’s body. Surprisingly, the end goal of tantric sex isn’t orgasm, but to have a mind-body connection with your partner. 

#4. Be Spontaneous 

Being spontaneous is an excellent way to be emotionally connected with your partner. Try to be more romantic and do things differently. You can help them in the kitchen, spend time with them while cooking, and even buy them their favourite gifts. Trust me, something as little as doing something your partner doesn’t expect can deepen the bond between you guys. 

#5. Focus More on Your Partner’s Nice Side

In the words of Mark Twain, “everybody is a moon that has a dark side.” In other words, we all have our flaws, and your partner isn’t exempted. Overlook some of these flaws and focus more on your partner’s nice side. If possible, sit with your partner and write out all these things you love so much about them. Read them out in a very romantic way to your soulmate. Moments like these help you to be more emotionally connected to your partner. 

love-life-guide

#6. Develop Yourself 

How does developing yourself helps you to be more emotionally connected with your partner? It’s easy! When you and your partner always develop yourself to become better versions, you will build a stronger relationship and develop a deeper bond. 

#7. Communication 

Communication is the lifeblood of every relationship. If you want to have a deeper emotional connection with your partner, always communicate with your partner. Always be brave enough to discuss any issue that’s affecting your relationship. No matter how sensitive a topic is, if it affects your relationship, discuss it with your partner. And if you try to avoid sensitive issues in your relationship, it will destroy your emotional connection with your partner.

Is Your Relationship at a Standstill? Read These 5 Tips to Spice It Up

LuxuryActivist

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Maintaining a blooming romance isn’t always easy; after all, life tends to get in the way and makes it near impossible to keep things fun and interesting. And, if the pressures of life aren’t enough to put a damper on your relationship and time spent in the bedroom, there’s always the kids and household chores to do you in.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, there are countless little things you can do to get your relationship out of standstill status and back into high gear. Here are five tips to spice up any foundering relationship.

1. Prioritize Quality Time

Quality time with your special someone is the most important thing in any relationship. That doesn’t mean ignoring all your other responsibilities; it just means carving out time to spend with your partner instead of letting life get in the way. You can prioritize your budding romance in the following ways:

  • Get a dedicated babysitter.
  • Find time every day to connect with your partner.
  • Start a “no cell phone” policy during your alone time.
  • Have a designated date night.
  • Enjoy the little things.
  • Be creative with quality-time activities.

2. Try Something They Like

No one’s saying you’re a bad boyfriend or girlfriend. But if you haven’t been open to trying things your partner likes and enjoys doing, now is the time to stop being stubborn and compromise more. Find out some of the things he or she enjoys doing and experiencing and offer to join him or her next time. For example, if your significant other is a fitness junkie, offer to join him or her on a hike or for a jog around the block. Experiencing and enjoying life together helps both parties feel closer and bonded.

relationship-guide

3. Spice Up Your Wardrobe

One of the best and easiest ways to put the sizzle back in your relationship is to upgrade your wardrobe with a few sexy pieces of lingerie. Indeed, buying a new lingerie set or garter can help you feel more self-confident and strengthen your relationship. It’s also a great way to spice things up and get out of your normal day-to-day routine that can easily become ho-hum. So, start shopping for a few new pieces you’re sure will get your partner going. Browse styles like lace garters, mosaic teddy’s, satin chemises and sweater rompers.

4. Experience New Things Together

Trying and experiencing new things together allows you to make new connections in unexpected ways. In that vein, sit down with your partner and come up with a list of activities and experiences you’ve always wanted to try out. What are some of your hobbies or items you still want to check off your bucket list? Don’t limit this to simple date nights and instead try out something new both inside and outside of the bedroom.

5. Get Yourselves in the Mood

When you’ve actually found the time to spend together and are finally alone, set the mood for some much-needed intimacy in the bedroom. Not all primal desires are or have to be spontaneous, but make it a point to do whatever is necessary to lean into lust whenever the mood strikes. 

Light some candles, turn on some mood music, slip into your new piece of lingerie, or take a bath together, and just enjoy each other’s company. Or, you might want to whip out a few of your old, favorite toys and mess around with your partner. Bottom line: Learn what your partner likes each time you’re being intimate, so you know how to indulge him or her and, more importantly, what to avoid for the next go around.

Get Out of Your Relationship Rut

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your relationship and know improvement in certain key areas is necessary and possible, following these tips can help you start enjoying life and each other as things were meant to be. So, whether you find new ways to prioritize spending quality time together, experience new adventures, or buy a few new pieces of sexy lingerie, you easily can get your relationship back on track.

Watch News- Claude Meylan Innovates With A Full Eco-Responsible​​ Window Display
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Watchmaking never sleeps. The Swiss watchmaker CLAUDE MEYLAN decided to make its contribution to the environment by creating a complete eco-responsible and 100% recyclable watch display. We are in 2020 and not so many brands are truly committed to change its habits and create a true evolution towards a better eco-responsible future. This initiative by CLAUDE MEYLAN touches an interesting point in the watchmaking industry: the conception and recycling of all watch displays. By launching a new display 100% eco-responsible and recyclable, CLAUDE MEYLAN sets a new standard, showing that Luxury and Planet are two things that can work well together.

When Luxury Rimes With Sustainability

Always concerned by a more ecological management CLAUDE MEYLAN wanted to develop a new 100% recyclable display – a first in the field – and entirely made in Switzerland, in Clarmont (VD), in collaboration with Eric Dakkus.

Claude-Meylan-Eric-Dakkus

According to the watchmaker. this new set of window displays are the result of a long period of research and development. The idea of creating a project that is as local as possible, therefore defined that the displays will be made from beech which lines the forests of the Vallée de Joux.

The trays and pedestals composed of slats shaped in beech will thus highlight the creations of Claude Meylan.
These elements are assembled with an ecological glue, naturally biodegradable. Two pediments, one in aluminium and the other, removable and in PET, respectively highlight the signature and the theme of the staging.

Claude-Meylan-Eric-Dakku-Display-collaboration

To complete the process beautifully, the writings which feature the brand name CLAUDE MEYLAN are printed using water-based ink. The durability of the objects is thus protected by a water-based varnish to ensure full recycling.

These materials are not only a topic to innovate and become the first perfectly recyclable display case stage, but they also allow a play of superposition between PET and aluminium that will animate the display case according to the subjects and themes decided throughout the year. With this project, Maison CLAUDE MEYLAN confirms its commitment to responsible and sustainable development.

The Company is one of the four historical families founding fine watchmaking: in the middle of the 18th century, Samuel Olivier Meylan and Abraham-Samuel Meylan were introduced to the watchmaking arts in Rolle and Fleurier. Back in Vallée de Joux, Samuel-Olivier Meylan designs and manufactures pocket watches equipped with movements and music discs and, naturally, the passion for movement becomes a family tradition. CLAUDE MEYLAN strengthens its heritage and extends its know-how by “undressing” and decorating each element of the movement.

5 Reasons American Watch Brands Are Great
Reading Time: 4 minutes

Have you ever considered buying from American watch companies? They produce timepieces that look great and are superbly priced. A lot of them have been in the game for a while, so they are experienced. Unfortunately, watches from the country aren’t popular as their European counterparts, but we’re hoping to change this.

There Are Many of Them 

When it comes to the watch industry, you’ll find several countries that produce them. You probably know how important Switzerland is to the watch market. They are home to the most expensive timepieces in the world. However, the contributions of the United States can’t be ignored. They don’t produce as expensive units, but major brands like Bulova, Shinola, Devon, and Timex are from the region. 

There are many manufacturers from the States. Due to this, you’ll be able to find whatever kind of watch you’re looking for. Just take a look at Devon’s units, they look very futuristic.

Snag Unique Watches 

In line with the above point, you’ll find different kinds of timepieces from the country. Devon is a good example of this, but there are several independent watch companies from America. They are not as prestigious as some names that have been around longer, but they are more adventurous with their watches. You’ve probably heard of Autodromo before: they are an up and coming brand. As their name suggests, their devices are inspired by cars – fast cars. They are not too tacky, thankfully. 

Brew Watch.co is another good example. They make their pieces from home, and what draws people to them is that their watches are inspired by coffee. Several pop-up companies like this exist in the states. 

They Are Well-received 

Watch collectors take horology and heritage quite seriously. Many of them look for timepieces from companies that have been around for a while. That’s why they regard French and Swiss watches as the best. Several Swiss brands have been around since the 18th century. Although they haven’t been around for as long, the best American manufacturers boast a history of over a century too; for example, Timex and Bulova. 

American watches are also well-regarded due to their superior designs. As mentioned, there are thousands of smaller manufacturers from the States. They make their watches by hand, which is quite a feat. They have backstories too, like the Brew Watch.co.  

They Don’t Cost A Lot 

A lot of people believe that expensive watches are the best, which we can agree with. They come with the best movements and parts. However, there is a line between pricey and absurd, which several manufacturers cross. You’ll find units costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is just not worth it. 

If you’re looking for a cheap unit, American brands won’t do. That being said, they are all sensibly priced.  Many of them offer multiple lines, each with differently priced pieces. A good example of this is Bulova. They offer the Lunar Pilot which sold for over USD 1 million. They then decided to pay tribute to it across the years, releasing different versions of it for much cheaper.

Bulova offers the Joseph Bulova collection too, which consists of solid gold watches that are a sharp contrast to their more affordable Swiss and Japanese quartz devices. 

Impress People 

To the layman, an American piece might seem impressive. The country is part of the watch industry, but they are not as well known. Most people know about watches from Japan, France, and Switzerland. However, American watches are well-designed and creative, so you’ll turn many heads while wearing one. 

Final Thoughts 

When it comes to working with brands, it’s hard to settle on just one. The sheer number might overwhelm you. However, American brands are a force to be reckoned with. They are a major part of the watch industry, and you can rely on their pieces. There are many manufacturers in the country producing watches, so you’ll be able to find a unit that appeals to you – such as Devon. Their devices look futuristic, and many say that their watches don’t even look like watches. 

When you snag a timepiece from the country, it won’t be low-cost. However, it would not be as pricey as a small car, either. Since there are so many manufacturers around, you’ll find a diverse range of prices to choose from. They come with all sorts of movements and designs, so you’ll always have a variety of choices.

When you are looking to create a versatile and comfortable wardrobe, the best place to start is with the staples. When you have the right staples, you can assemble the right outfit for virtually any occasion with ease. However, when it comes to men’s fashion, finding the right staples can be a challenge. You want pieces that are comfortable enough for you to wear all day, and that isn’t too flashy that they will only work for certain occasions.

When finding your closet staples, your best course of action is to go with a simple, clean look. This will help you build outfits with an air of classic style that can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go. If you are looking for the perfect closet staples for your wardrobe, here are a few tips on finding the most essential pieces.

Jeans

No wardrobe is complete without a pair of classic denim jeans. Jeans are among the most versatile pieces of clothing for men and women alike. They can be pairs with a casual and comfortable t-shirt for a day out or with a structured button-down shirt for a nice meal. Ultimately, your jeans are going to be your best friends.

Finding the right pair of jeans is less simple, though. This is because there are such various styles and colours to choose from that you might be confused about which would suit you the best. One good rule of thumb to follow when it comes to colour is that darker jeans tend to be more versatile. You can easily dress them up or down for most occasions. As long as they are structured and fit well, your dark jeans might very well end up being the clothing item you wear the most.

White Button-Down Shirts

Another item of clothing that you will turn to again and again is the classic white button-down shirt. This is the shirt that you can pair with a suit and tie for more formal occasions or with dark jeans and black derby shoes for more relaxed meals out. There is virtually nothing that can’t be paired with a white button-down shirt. 

Don’t feel that you have to stock your closet with the same type of white shirt, though. You can feel free to mix things up in terms of fabrics and textures in order to give yourself some variety. 

Plain T-Shirts

When you are looking to just throw on a comfortable weekend outfit, you don’t want to have to spend time overthinking things. This is when you will want to be able to turn to the simplest pieces in your closet: plain t-shirts. 

Opting for plain t-shirts means that you won’t ever struggle to find items that pair nicely with them. This is a classic look for men that have been tried and tested. As long as you go with shirts that fit properly, you can’t go wrong.
