A smart man’s wardrobe is always versatile and timeless, so that new purchases can be integrated easily and worn with existing staples. Bold coloured tailoring may seem extravagant and out of place to some but with the right attention to detail, this new trend can work really well. There are three main colours which are emerging as the most easily adaptable: blue, red and white. Choose pieces which are subtle such as a blazer or tailored shorts, rather than an entire suit. Smaller pieces mixed with neutral colours are much kinder on the eyes and more likely to work well with a variety of pieces already in your wardrobe.

Blue garments in shades such as cobalt and emerald work really well with neutrals such as brown, white, navy and grey. Team a pair of brightly coloured tailored shorts with a navy blazer and white shirt and the look is instantly updated. Red colours work well with similar neutrals but can also be worn with shades such as pinks and purples. Finally, white works best with other neutrals such as brown, black, navy and grey. Earth tones such as khaki green and brown can also create an effective look.

Custom printing design is a growing market, and it is becoming increasingly easier to commission good quality, interesting designs for your t-shirts.  Dedicated and talented t shirt printing designers are able to work with businesses to create an eye-catching and attractive design that will communicate their message. Once the design has been chosen, it is important to ensure that the method of printing is correct for the business needs.

The most popular form of custom printing on a t-shirt is screen printing, as it has a low cost and enables companies to produce a large number of garments at once.  Screen printing is reliable and means that stencils can be saved and used again.

Digital printing is also a popular option and is ideal for a limited number of t-shirts.  Slightly more expensive, this method of printing produces sharp images and allows photos to be printed directly on to the t-shirts with the use of computer technology. Many online printing companies like Adlogo offer these kind of services and many more to ensure you get the right finish for your product.

Heat transfer printing is a fairly easy procedure, and one that can be carried out using custom designs and without any ink by-products leaking onto the t-shirt.

Whichever the method of printing, most businesses know that a clever design is the first step in ensuring a t-shirt carries the correct message.

Building a new spring and summer work wardrobe will be a cinch this season with an almost ‘anything goes’ attitude.  From boots and heels to trousers and flowing skirts, the fashion world is our oyster.

A smart suit or great office look does not have to be constrictive and stuffy.  Keeping a look professional while enjoying some cool and stylish clothes are what it’s all about.

For those required to appear formal at all times in the office, an A-line skirt and cotton blouse is the best way to accomplish this while remaining cool.  Sprucing up the look with earthy tones, frills or floral prints will add a splash of summer to work attire.  Another option for the office is linen summer dresses.  This year fabric is all about linen, which is not only comfortable, it’s also the coolest.

The season of open-toed shoes is almost here, however this is not an office option for many.  If sandals are not considered office appropriate, then perhaps a pair of peep toe shoes may do the trick.

Jewellery is a great way to add design and colour to any outfit, whether in the office or not.  If office attire is to remain conservative, adding brightly coloured beads or a funky tribal necklace will create personality.  Be sure the piece is not unprofessional in appearance by being obnoxious or too big.

A T-shirt can be printed with any design.  There are many companies who offer T-shirt printing services that have a portfolio of designs for you to look at, but if you need something personal this can also be accommodated.

T-shirts can also be printed and used as fun gifts for birthdays or anniversaries.  They are unique and personal to the individual and can even include photographs if required.  T-shirt printing does not take long to do, but if bulk orders are required the company you are ordering from may ask for plenty of notice regarding when you need them.

Personalised T-shirts can make great presents for children.  They can have literally any image you want on them, from their favourite cartoon character to the hottest pop star of the moment.  Personalised T-shirts are one of the most versatile gifts anyone could give.

There are many companies offering t shirt printing services, and usually the more you order the more money you save.  For companies with many employees to provide uniforms for this can be a really cost effective way of doing so.  Stag and hen parties who might just want 10 or 15 T-shirts may also be able to find good discounts.

However, unfortunately there’s some bad news.  This is the bad news buzz about the brand: co-founder Joe Corre has decided to take a back seat from the label.  He will still own shares in the luxury yet provocative undies, but will no longer be inputting design fashion.  Joe Corre is the son of Vivienne Westwood, and he started the business with his now ex-wife, Serena Rees.

It is said that he wishes to concentrate on other projects, such as his menswear label, A Child of the Jago.  The move may not come as such as shock to insiders, as it has been reported that Corre has had little creative input in recent collections.  Rather, he oversaw the work of Sarah Shotton, the head designer at Agent Provocateur. 

As well as the growing success of the lingerie lines of the brand, the company has a second line of jewellery coming out soon: hot on the heels of the triumph of the first.  Corre has truly built a brand to be proud of.

If your company has a casual day this does not mean that anything goes. Khakis and a nice jumper or sports shirt are a good choice even a smart pair of designer jeans are okay, as long as they are not a baggy style, straight cut in a dark denim always looks smart and tidy. However, if you will be going to a meeting or leading a presentation, then more formal attire would be better.

If you are attending an interview for a job then try to adhere to the employer’s dress code. This may be a formal suit and tie or more casual dress. Ask around to find out what is acceptable before you go and remember that it is usually best if you dress more formally than employees normally would. For women, a solid-coloured suit in a darker, more traditional colour works well. Jackets should be simple and skirts should be of an appropriate length. Complement the suit with a light coloured blouse, but do not wear a sleeveless blouse. Neutral tights or stockings are the best choice and any jewellery or scarf should be simple and complement the suit. If you have tattoos or body jewellery cover these up until you know what the company’s attitude is towards such body decoration.

No matter what size your company is, you can easily get staff uniforms printed up, and many online retailers such as Splash Logo offer discounts for bulk orders, so the more you buy the more you save, you will also find you won’t be restricted to certain styles or sizes. So if you employ people in various job roles that would require a different style or type of uniform for health and safety reasons then you won’t be restricted. If you choose good quality uniforms you will find that you won’t have to replace them as much normally styles for winter and summer is all you need.

Corporate clothing that co-ordinates can help with your companies identity, you don’t have to go for matching items, you can also choose a range of garments in specific corporate colours for staff tailored around their job roles. Online printing retailer www.splashlogo.co.uk provides a huge range of garments specifically designed for business and corporate use, they use a wide range of printing techniques to create the best finish for you, and they are:

Using customised t-shirts for sports events or charity fundraisers is a great way to raise awareness and many online retailers offer discounts for buying in bulk, such as Splash Logo, who offer not only clothing that can be printed on but a wide range of other products. Customised clothing is also ideal if you’re looking for company work wear, it means you can also advertise your business on the clothing your staff wear, as well as having a regimented uniform that everyone adheres to.
