  As a guy who is most comfortable when in the shed using a power tool of some kind, or restoring an old classic car, fashion is not something that I used to think a lot about.

The years came and went, and the only thing that really changed about my attire was the colour of the hoodie! This trend continued throughout my early twenties until something happened; I got married to an amazing woman who happens to be very well versed in the art of style and fashion, having worked for many years as a sales assistant in men's apparel. Today she is a successful Personal Stylist and she has helped me to change the way I look at style, and to think outside the realm of jeans and hoodies. Don't worry, I have by no means become a mocha decaf skinny soy latte swilling fashionista, not that there is anything wrong with that. I am still most comfortable when ...

Culture plays a major role in your perception of the colors around you, so cross-culturally this may not be as true (hence the scientific debate). In many Western cultures, one such common and pleasing pairing is gold and leather -- these two warm tones offer a sense of refinement and comfort that is hard to find in other jewelry pieces. But these tones don't have to be on the same piece of jewelry. Gold and leather bracelets can be mixed and matched to layer up your arm. This kind of arm candy is a lasting style that allows fashion-minded women to mix and match their favorite pieces. Especially i...
