After the long week's activities at work. its Friday we say often, time to rest and have good time with friends and family. But in most situation we are wrong. The weekend turned out much shorter, with lot if unplanned event coming our ways. The time tickling towards a new week, which we have not planned for.
We bring to you today, ways to plan your busy weekend and yet, starting the new week with a stunning look.
1. Have good time with friends and family.
Your family is a great asset you can't afford to loose. Yes You need to work so as to provide for them. But don't forget your money isn't all they need. Little time help strengthen the bond between families. Take some time at the weekend to play around with your family, so you don't start the new week with burden of your home.
2. Plan your outfit for the new week.
It is always burdensome starring at your wardrobe in the morning prior to getting ready for work. I bet you might end up being a victim of what I called accidental outfit. This happen when you wear the wrong combination. To avoid such, take time to plan yourself ahead of the day's activities.
3. Get your dress ready.
Getting the right combination of dress is not enough and having an expensive dress is a little less than having them in the best condition. Get your dress well pressed, That gives a litte more stunning and respected look. One cannot be over dressed, it can always get better. If you are busy the type, the laundry service offers a bit affordable service. Try one out today if you have not been patronizing them.
4. Get your shoes polished
You are a step behind without this. Your outfit is not complete without a good and well polished pair of shoe. Of course you are not expected to get than done when you needed them.
5. Settle your family after the dinner
The family dinner is a good platform to settle all debt and matters arising of the day. You don't wake up the next morning opening old scores. The new day should begin problem free mind.
6. Get a good night rest. A sound sleep over the night make the body healthy and the mind sound.
Hope these help you get better every week. Have a wonderful weekend and new week beginning.

Body shapes for Men and their features
One of the most essential human need is clothing. However, putting on good cloth is not enough, but knowing the right clothes to fit into ones body shapes also becomes priority. Men seems to have less knowledge about themselves unlike what they knows about their women. Men's body type comes in different forms and shapes and with different characteristics. Offering different advantage and disadvantage. But knowing your own body shape and features allow you to decide on what to wear to perfectly compliment what you have got.
The Male Body Shape Breakdown:
When considering typical body shapes, men will often fall into one of five categories: trapezoid, inverted triangle, rectangle, triangle or oval.
If you recognise and accept exactly what type of body shape you are, it will become much easier to identify whether an item of clothing has a positive or negative impact on your appearance – particularly if you understand the reasons why it has that impact. When this knowledge is then applied to your everyday shopping habits, it will not only improve your style and look, but will give you the confidence to know that what you are wearing is right for YOU. With this in mind, today we bring you an introductory guide to the five body shapes identified above, along with some basic dos and don’ts for each…
1. The Trapezoid
Those with a trapezoid body shape will have broad shoulders and chest with relatively narrow waist and hips.
Due to the upper and lower body being balanced, it means this shape is far simpler to dress than others. In general, most styles and fits will suit this shape because it is well
proportioned.
So, if this relates to you, you can easily incorporate new trends, cuts and colours into your wardrobe, with little concern. Good news hey?
Obviously you will tend to steer towards that which you feel comfortable in, and that is important, but you should also realise this shape’s potential for experimentation .
2. The Inverted Triangle Triangle
Similar to a trapezoid, you will also have broad shoulders and chest, however, your hips and waist are narrower.
This means your upper torso is much wider than your lower torso and, subsequently, the lower half of your body. This body shape is particularly common for those with athletic frames and can also be sculpted through regular weight lifting/body building.
When dressing for this body type the imbalance between top and bottom is something you should pay special attention to.
DO
Although you are unable to physically alter the shape, wearing certain styles and cuts can work to give the illusion of a different one.
Therefore the aim with a rectangle is to ultimately appear similar to a trapezoid.
4. The TriangleTriangle
Several parts of the body are used to determine whether this shape applies to you: chest and shoulders are narrower than waist and hips, meaning you appear larger on the bottom half of your torso. This may also result in a sloping shoulder line.
The imbalance is created by your lower half appearing wider than your upper body.
Correcting this imbalance should be the focus when dressing this body type.
Do:
This may be a shape that men find they fall into in their later years, however there are those that always fall into this category. Whatever your situation, there are ways in which you can add definition.

When dressing for this body type the imbalance between top and bottom is something you should pay special attention to.
DO
- Consider detailing around the hips with the use of belts or pockets. This will help to break up an outfit whilst drawing attention to this area.
- Wear tops particularly if the stripes are focused across the stomach rather than on the chest.
- Opt for v-neck knits/tees as they will narrow the chest and draw the eye down.
- Use graphic prints and logos to create a central point of focus that will reduce attention to the upper chest.
- Try straight or more relaxed slim cuts (rather than too slim/skinny) for legwear as they will help balance your proportions and broad shoulders.
- Try unstructured double-breasted jackets as they will help widen the torso without adding width to the shoulders or upper chest.
- Don't Wear structured jackets with shoulder padding or wide lapels. This will only emphasise the widest area.
- Don't Consider tops with wide scoop necklines. Again, this will only appear to widen that area.
- Don't Opt for skinny leg cuts as they will make the top half of your body appear even wider – throwing out your proportions further.
3. The Rectangle
Men with this body shape have shoulders that are the same width as their waist and hips.
When dressing a rectangle the aim would be to widen the shoulders whilst making the lower torso appear narrower.Although you are unable to physically alter the shape, wearing certain styles and cuts can work to give the illusion of a different one.
Therefore the aim with a rectangle is to ultimately appear similar to a trapezoid.
- Wear structured blazers and jackets that appear padded in the shoulders yet narrow down from the underarm. A good way to achieve this would be to get the sides taken in by a tailor or the jacket arm thinned.
- Layer intelligently – shirts and fine knitwear in particular can be used to widen the chest/shoulders and then narrow down towards the hips.
- Utilise prints and patterns accordingly – intelligently placed colour-blocks and prints can be effective at emphasising the upper section of your body.
- Don't Wear prints that mimic and emphasise your rectangular shape – for example, photographic tees or large geometric.
- Don't Wear sleeveless pieces – unless layered effectively.
- Don't Use bright primary block-colours on the torso unless print, detailing or an appropriate neckline is utilised.
4. The TriangleTriangle
Several parts of the body are used to determine whether this shape applies to you: chest and shoulders are narrower than waist and hips, meaning you appear larger on the bottom half of your torso. This may also result in a sloping shoulder line.
The imbalance is created by your lower half appearing wider than your upper body.
Correcting this imbalance should be the focus when dressing this body type.
Do:
- It’s imperative you focus on well-fitted clothing, ill fits will only emphasise this shape.
- Opt for single-breasted and button-down styles as they will help streamline the torso.
- Wear straighter leg trousers and chinos.
- Give shape to the shoulders with structured tailored blazers and jackets.
- Aim for darker colours on top as they will instantly flatter. Introduce colour with a scarf or a bright piece layered underneath, like a tee or shirt.
Don't
- Wear horizontal stripes across the stomach area.
- Wear polo necks or narrow crew-necks as they will decrease shoulder width and emphasise shape.
- Wear skinny or heavily tapered jeans/trousers as they will widen the central part of the body.
- Wear jackets with noticeable pockets on the front as they will attract attention to the stomach area.
This shape is self-explanatory. An oval body shape appears round,
particularly at the centre of the body. This may result in narrower
shoulders and a slimness in the lower leg.
When dressing this shape, attention should be paid to lengthening the torso, making it appear slimmer. Shoulders should be given shape too, in order to make the body shape appear more defined.This may be a shape that men find they fall into in their later years, however there are those that always fall into this category. Whatever your situation, there are ways in which you can add definition.
Do:
- Wear vertical stripes and pinstripes as they will instantly lengthen that specific area of the body.
- Ensure trouser legs and sleeves are the correct length as gathering will shorten the limbs and fail in adding shape or definition.
- Wear detailed prints or textured pieces in darker hues to add a point of interest to an outfit whilst remaining flattering.
- Aim to wear fitted, loosely tapered trousers as they will help to lengthen the legs.
Don’t:
- Wear horizontal stripes anywhere on the body as they will make that part appear rounder.
- Choose to wear cowl necks, wide crew necks or polo necks.
- Use statement/coloured belts – they will only attract attention to the waist and highlight your widest point.
- Wear footwear with a white sole or trim as it will widen your feet and take away from any attempts to lengthen the legs. Likewise, boots can make your legs appear shorter. Instead, try low profile, slimline silhouettes.
- Wear double-breasted.
