It's time to start thinking about fall and keeping warm. One way to do this is by layering appropriately. For men, pair a front button dress shirt with a cardigan or sweater vest. For women, you can team a sweater jacket or oversized sweater under a cotton layer of clothing; comfortable and breathable. Don't forget to keep an umbrella in your car for those unexpected showers.

8 Must Have Tees for Men!

A Big, Bold Graphic:
T-shirts call for simple graphics, not intricate ones. Note the shorter sleeves and how the tee hits just barely below the waist. That's how a good tee fits.

When you get a new tee, yank on the collar a bit. You don't want it choked around your neck.

The Surfer Tee:
Even if you're a landlocked midwesterner, it's your birthright as an American to channel vibey West Coast surfer energy via a T-shirt.

Old-School Stripes:
Most striped tees have a distinct East Coast nautical vibe—you know, the sailor thing—but this burnt orange is pure Cali.

The '70s Ringer Tee:
A perfectly simple design that will never die.


The Perfect V-Neck:
A good V hits well below your adam's apple.

The Vintage Rock 'n' Roller:
For those about to Rock!

The Pocket Tee:
Not just any purple: The dye is rich and inky, and the tee will break in uniquely, like good denim.

Swimsuits:

2013 Swimsuits come in so many colors, styles and cuts; it is much easier to find the right suit for you these days. As usual, bikinis can be basic, breathtaking or TMI! Tankinis are a twist on the classic bikini and has been very popular the past few years and can cover some of those abs we may not have worked on this spring. One pieces are chic and can be very sexy. Look for much more creativity and options in the racer-back style. Would you want to wear a monokini? It is a one-piece suit in which the sides are nearly or completely cut out. Basically, it is a bikini with a thin strip of material connecting the top and bottom.

Fashion has a long-standing history and with it comes many interesting facts. We have complied a long list of fifty of them that we found most interesting. Let's start with the first 10!

1. The origin of neckties: They were first worn in Croatia; that’s why they were called cravats.

2. The low-hanging baggy pants style originated in the prisons of Los Angeles, because inmates were not allowed to wear belts.

3. Napoleon Bonaparte decreed that buttons needed to be attached to jacket sleeves to stop soldiers from wiping their runny noses on their jacket sleeves.

4. A person collecting Neckties is known as a Grabatologist.

5. The forerunners of our modern designer fragrance were ancient Egyptians. In ancient Egypt, wealthy women placed scented grease cones on top of their heads. The grease melted during the course of the day, covering their skin and clothes with an oily fragrance.

6. Sneakers were first produced in 1800. They had a simple rubber sole design and the name sneaker comes from the fact that their soles are smooth, that they hardly make a sound on the ground. “Keds” was the first company to produce sneakers followed by “Converse” in the year 1917.

7. The invention of the automobile had a significant influence on women’s fashion. In the 1900s, skirts became shorter to enable women to step into automobiles more easily.

8. In 1922, a Washington DC law required bathing suits to be no shorter than 6 inches above the knee. You were arrested if your skirt was shorter.

9. In Carmel, New York a man can’t go outside if his jacket and pants don’t match.

10. 215 pair of jeans can be made with one bale of cotton.
