However, finding the perfect pair of designer jeans can be difficult, because we all have a unique body shape and each designer favours different cuts and washes. It is worth trying on several styles, when clothes shopping, in order to find the ones that suit you best.

Skinny jeans are a fashion favourite at the moment, but this is not a style that will suit everyone. Those with a fuller figure may prefer jeans with a looser cut on the leg, as much for comfort as for style. Boot cut jeans are also popular and are designed so they can be comfortably worn over a pair of boots. Flared jeans are a difficult style to wear, but should be avoided by those who are petite, as they can unbalance the figure. They should always be worn with heeled shoes or boots as this helps to give height and elongate the leg.

Many stores offer a free personal shopping service, which will help you to try all the styles available so that you find the right pair for you. As shoppers frequently spend several hours trying to find the right pair, this service can make the task much easier and less tiresome. It’s also great for suggesting other items of clothing that would look with your jeans such as t-shirts, shirts and other types of tops plus its hand to have some tell you what accessories go with certain styles when you are not that sure yourself.

Men's jeans

When you on holiday you need t make sure you have the essentials, which we will have a look at, at a later date however, many people forget that you also need to consider your outfit for travelling. If you are travelling a long distance say on a long haul holiday then you have to remember your outfit has to be as comfortable as possible. You also need to consider your destination too, it may be cold when you leave the UK but will it be the same when you get to your destination?

There is a great deal of men’s clothing that is ideal for travelling in, you want to stay away from jeans as they can be tight, hot and offer little room for movement, instead opt for softer materials such as jogging bottoms. Or if you are jetting off to tropical climes then try giving your legs some air and opting for shorts. For your top half a t-shirt is always comfortable, but if you find the air con on a plane a bit too chilly then bring a light shirt or jacket to pop on, something that can easily be folded away.

You also need to make sure you have the right accessories with you so make sure your carryon bag is big enough to fit in things like passport and documents, sunglasses, a good book and your mp3 player. You don’t want to put everything in there though, remember you will have to lug it around the airport. Face wipes are also handy to take onto the plane, you can then freshen up mid flight and whilst your waiting for your suitcase to appear.

There are separate shows for fashion buyers and for the press. Only those who receive an invite are able to attend. At the February 2010 shows designers offered a different perspective than in previous years. The Prada show seemed to be creating a caricature of sexiness, with exaggerated details on the bosom of dresses.

The Gucci show rejected the ‘bling’ of previous shows and stuck to neat tailoring and accessories which were much more luxurious. The designs seemed to be aimed at the independent woman rather than the one who spends her time trying to attract a man.

Dolce & Gabbana celebrated the hourglass figure and its collection focused on femininity. The collection was well received and was one of the most popular during the week. Armani presented jackets for women that took their inspiration from male tailoring. Versace stuck with its tried and tested style, including leather trousers and biker jackets.

These shows did much to repair the damage that has been done to the city’s reputation as one of the main fashion capitals of the world. The last few years has seen the rise of London and New York in the fashion world and fashion houses such as Gucci and Versace have suffered a little, even though their fortunes are turning around.

Simple updates for his wardrobe can make all the difference, like some stylish summer shirts, or some classic polo shirts, if he is a footie fan there are some great world cup t-shirts available. You can also make sure he has some great accessories as well like a new belt, wallet or hat.

This season check shirts are in and with so many colours to choose from so you are spoilt for choice they look great in either long sleeved or short sleeved for a more of a smart casual look and can be worn with jeans or when the weather heats up with shorts!

I’ve mentioned World Cup football themed shirts however if your dad is not a football fan there are plenty of other printed t-shirts available, if your dad is the joker of the family, slogan shirts will go down well, or if he is a music buff then you could always get him a music themed t-shirt with his favourite band on.

It was the launch of this label that led other fashion houses such as Givenchy and Yves St Laurent to launch their own ready-to-wear collections. In 1966, Karl Lagerfeld became the head designer. During the 1970s it grew into one of the most sought-after labels, its clothes being favoured by the likes of Grace Kelly and Brigitte Bardot.

The brand has made a point of working with some of the most promising designers over the years. In 1997 Stella McCartney joined Chloe, followed in 2001 by Phoebe Philo. Stars such as Natalie Portman have been seen wearing the brand’s designs. In 2002 Chloe launched a range of shoes and bags, with the ‘Paddington’ bag becoming the first ‘must-have’ bag.

Chloe boutiques can be found in many of the world’s major cities such as London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles. The label’s fashion-shows can be viewed online the same day that they take place, and their website has a version specifically for the iPhone.

Chloe items are regularly copied by counterfeiters, so consumers are advised to consult the list of authorised retailers which can be found on the website and to take care if buying online.
