Fashion world does not give you the opportunity to relax not even for a minute.  Not even when it comes to yet another fashion item, which turned out to be very important. Namely, headbands. Or is just the fashion world overly scrutinizing to our every move and clothing combination.

So let see now why headbands are important as well as why the rules of wearing headbands are important.

Today, tomorrow, always, it seems that headbands never go out of fashion and they are the ever present fashion detail, from season to season.

• First of all, you need to play around a bit, to experiment and search in order to find the headbands that suit you and your pieces of clothing respectively. You need to find the right size, shape, colour, shade, design of your headbands. And it is important that they suit your persona as well as they suit your clothing items.

Then you must not forget the simple fact that if your hair is short, the best thing is to go with simple, tiny fashion headband for your hair. If your hair is long, you can pull off any type of fashion headband on the contrary.

There are also face shape rules related to wearing fashion headbands.
Namely, if your face is oval-shaped, then the best advice for you is to wear thicker fashion headbands. But if a person is square-faced, then, it is best for her to choose thinner headbands.

• It is advisable also to use a little of hairspray from time to time when you need to keep your hair in place while wearing headband. Although headbands´ prime function is to keep hair checked and in place, and not only play the role of just another fashion item. In order for your hair to be the good all day hold, just disperse spray lightly around the headband and you pulled off the effect successfully.

When you try to combine your clothing items and your fashion headbands, remember one thing. If you do not want to look like a parrot or a peacock, then try to keep the design and colour of your headband simple and monochromatic if your overall clothes are already vivid, colourful and full of details.

Another rule for wearing your fashion headband sample is to gather your hair into a pony tale or even a bun and then slide your headband on your head thus completely keeping all of your hair in place and pulling off an amazing coiffure along the way. Just put some spray again around the headband just in case and you are good to go.

And in the end the most important fashion rules when it comes to fashion headbands.

You can wear fashion headbands at any informal, casual gathering and event. But do not ever make a mistake or even simply dream of adding the simple headband to your clothing combination when you go to some formal gathering or the wrath of the fashion gods will soon be all upon you and you will be declared to be the fashion disaster example for sure.

A regular, two pieces men suite does not always have to be monochromatic in colour and plain. Though it is created with the first aim of representing a man as a serious business oriented person, and its form and colour should prove it, it does not hurt to sometimes drift off that pattern when choosing your suite. And what is the most appealing pattern that should adorn your suite yet leaving you with the aura of a business man, than a stripe pattern on your jacket and trousers. Though, you may freely allow it on your shirt, too.

But let´s talk about suites now.

If you decide to take upon the adventure of stripping yourself up , there are few things or better said, fashion advices you need to know and few fashion rules it is advisable to follow if you want to still stay conservative and business-like, but force yourself and your outlook out of the boring, plain masses. Therefore, let us see how to pull off stripes.

1. First there is a choice between wearing horizontal or vertical stripes. While vertical stripes help those who are not very tall and slim by making the person more handsome in appearance as well as taller, if you are already too tall, the vertical stripes would be a bad fashion move for you.
   Horizontal stripes are what would make you look stylish and appealing; with the big but if you are overweight. To those who are, horizontal stripes will only add some extra weight in appearance, and therefore they should be greatly avoided.
2. Next rule when choosing the stripes – try to keep them thin. Wide stripes are not fashionable; neither would they look good on you. What more they will only subtract your business and serious aura from you?
   Every striped suite with the stripes lesser than an inch in width is a good solution.
   Face it; you do not want to look like a circus clown, do you?
3. If you do not want to wear one-coloured suite all the time, then you are allowed to show some tendencies in choosing colour combinations of your suite pieces, but try to stick to the complementary colours if you do not want to cause the havoc in your overall appearance. The less you experiment, the safer side you are on.
4.  Another advice for a man would be to try not to choose the socks with stripes, patterns and details when wearing pin striped suite. They will only make you look comical and it is yet another thing you surely want to avoid.

And in the end, do not forget to have your fashionable best friend by your side when you go out shopping for striped suites. His or hers advice will be of a great help, because sometimes what we see in the mirror and what we like is not what the world like and approve of.

By trying to stick to some of these rules and tips, you will pull off your serious-businessman-look in the pin striped suite, very well. And you will never make a mistake by choosing Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani or Hugo Boss suites either.
