Latest Trends for Men’s Business Look
If you want to leave a good first impression in the office, one of the best things you can do is to lift your business style up a notch. However, even though many offices are adopting a more casual dressing style, that doesn’t mean you can get away with hoodies and sneakers! Here are a few latest office wear trends you can try out.
Classy trousers
If you want to have only one item of trendy business clothing, opt for tailored trousers. A few pairs in traditional stripes or checks will not make you feel underdressed even if you hate to dress smart. Also, they look amazing when paired with a vintage t-shirt or a leather jacket, so you can rock them during casual Fridays as well.
Tailored suits
This is a must for every professional, especially younger guys who are aiming to leave a good impression in the office. A fitted suit is one of the best things you can do for your career since it tells so many good things about the wearer. This is a type of suit you can see on young professionals all around the world from Wall Street, New York to Sydney central business district, so make sure to jump on this trend. However, this trend only looks good when executed by professionals, so make sure to contact experts in tailored suits from Sydney who will create a custom look that fits you like a glove. You will look and feel better than ever and it will definitely show in your work performance!
Dressed-up denim
Even though not all denim belongs in the office, no matter how casual your dress code is, there are a few buys that can make you look relaxed yet professional. For a “dorky manager” style, try grabbing a uniform-wash denim shirt or opt for a trucker jacket. Pair them with your dressier clothing and you’ll turn many looks, as long as your denim is high-quality and form-fitting.
Elegant knitwear
If you need a break from stiff collars, you can opt for a high-quality knitted sweater. This look will not only add style to your office clothing but also help battle cold (some offices are kept much cooler than what most of us consider comfortable). A cashmere turtleneck is always a good choice, but a good crewneck in white, olive or even orange will look more than great, especially during the warmer months. If you want something relaxed and cozy, a minimal grandpa-style cardigan will work well for your office look.
Stylish coats
The choice of your outerwear is very important, no matter the season. One timeless wardrobe must-have is a quality wool topcoat. Even though you can show it off only when coming to and from work, it will still lift your style. A good suede bomber is also a great choice. What you don’t want to do is pair your suit with a winter utility parka. However, if you’re doing it with designer clothing (think Balenciaga), you can get away with anything!
All black look
Having a quality blackout outfit is a great idea. No matter if you’re aiming for a slim-cut suit or a few separates you can pair, head-to-toe black will save you a lot of trouble, especially if you have an event to attend after work. Plus, it just looks so cool (and this is something you don’t often hear about business clothing)!
All of these looks don’t require you to break your bank or completely change your style. However, what they will do is leave a good impression and make you feel like a champion every time you step into your workspace. When you feel good about the way you look, you’ll exude confidence and achieve great business results.

1st Annual MEOW DC Benefits DC’s Humane Rescue Alliance
With the rise of cat celebs like Grumpy Cat and Moshow the Rapper, combined with cat videos in every corner of the internet — it’s about time Washingtonians have an outlet to share their feline fervor with their neighbors. That’s why DC’s animal welfare organization, Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA), is hosting the 1st Annual Meow DC this coming spring.
This event is designed for everyone from the devoted cat lover to the fly-by feline fan. Kitty aficionados from all over the metro area can don their cat ears and themed outfits, purchase kitty-themed goods from the many local vendors, attend talks about everything from community cats to confusing kitty behavior, and even meet internet sensation Sunglass Cat! There also will be adorable kittens and sassy adult cats alike on hand for cuddles and adoption throughout the day. Plus, it doesn’t end there. Keep your cat ears on and attend the Meow DC After Party at The Pub & The People from 5-8pm where a percentage of sales will benefit HRA, as well as $1 from every Tito’s beverage.
Oh, and did we mention there will be awesome giveaways! And if that weren’t enough, the real attraction (the catnip, if you will) is that all proceeds benefit the amazing work HRA does year round for local DC cats, both indoor and outdoor. Each month, HRA helps nearly 400 local homeless animals get adopted and 565 animals get spayed or neutered. HRA field officers respond to 1,600 calls monthly, and HRA volunteers donate 2,400 hours every month. While HRA does incredible work for the vulnerable animals in our community, they still rely on the generosity of individuals and organizations throughout the DC metro area.

MELISSA ANNOUNCES NEW COLLABORATION WITH FILA
This season, Melissa embraces the contemporary codes of streetwear for their latest collaboration with Italian sportstyle brand, FILA. For over a century, FILA has committed to making a strong statement with its brand values of individuality, power and style. The brand, founded in 1911, has seen its message move from the tennis courts and mountains of Italy to streets all over the world to become one of the most recognized fashion brands in its field. In parallel, Melissa celebrates 40 years of extraordinary and globally recognized designs, all created in the brand’s unique raw material – plastic.
The Melissa + FILA collab features four items – three pairs of shoes and one accessory. The great icon of streetwear, the sneaker, is the foundational piece of the collection. Combining casual with classic, the Melissa Sneaker + FILA is created in striking tri-color combinations of FILA’s characteristic colors: navy, red and white with a neutral base color and shoelaces in alternating colors. The Melissa Slide + FILA is a fun and uncomplicated item, a new take on one of Melissa’s most popular products. The slide prominently features the collaboration’s lockup logo on the upper (a nod to the iconic Borg Logo of the 1970’s), while the insole features a bold striped pattern.
The Melissa Sandal + FILA breaks the mold with a chunky high platform and jagged sole, including embossed details and two thick double-lock Velcro straps ensuring a strong and modern look.
The final item in the collab brings back the spirit of the 80’s and 90’s with a statement item: the bumbag. The Melissa Pochete + FILA features the signature red, white and navy blue colours of the FILA brand bringing a fresh look to one of the season’s key accessories.
Melissa + FILA launched globally on February 28th , 2019 and has been available at Galeria Melissa New York, São Paulo, and London as well as special exclusive stockists around the globe.
Melissa is a celebration of design. Created in 1979, the brand is recognized worldwide for the innovative works on its key raw material, a recyclable PVC (100% cruelty-free!), with an irresistible scent. Melissa has associated itself with iconic names in design, fashion and art, collaborating with Baja East, Jeremy Scott, Vivienne Westwood, Karl Lagerfeld, Campana Brothers, Zaha Hadid, among others. Although it was born in Brazil, Melissa is a global brand not only because it can be found in 83 countries but also for its cutting edge aesthetic which surprises fans all around the globe.

From its humble beginnings in Biella, Italy in 1911 to its historic introduction of color on the tennis court in the 1970s, FILA has always remained committed to making a statement about individuality, power, and style through product that is both novel in aesthetic and effective in function. While the brand’s offerings were originally intended for those defiant of expectations in sport, it was only natural that limit challengers and subculture creators everywhere would soon recognize FILA as an aspirational beacon.
It was the introduction of the Original Tennis shoe in 1984 that catapulted FILA from its reputation as an authentic athletic brand into a genuine lifestyle icon. As the era’s most legendary hip-hop artists and fashion players embraced the shoe and the street-savvy apparel collections it inspired, it became clear to all that FILA was synonymous with the courage to create a lasting mark in whatever world you compete. Athlete or not, this was a brand as bold and breakthrough as its wearers–a brand to truly make your own. After over 46 years of paving the way in “sport-style”, FILA continues to inspire new generations with modern looks crafted from its DNA – a game changing heritage both on and off the court.

GET EVEN! Reduce Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone
If you have a flawless complexion – read no further! But, if you are like a lot of women who have unwanted hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, breakouts or uneven skin tone and wonder what you can do to “even the score,” Glyderm® offers options.
One of the best things you can do to see noticeable results is to consult your dermatologist for a series of GlyDerm Esterified Glycolic Acid Peels. The peels are safe, quick, painless and do not require any downtime. Plus they can produce the results you’re hoping for – a renewed, glowing look with enhanced tone and texture and a reduction in hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkle and breakouts.
“Gentle exfoliation is essential for refreshed, radiant looking skin, and glycolic acid is a key ingredient for exfoliation,” shared New York City based Dermatologist, Dr. Marnie Nussbaum. “Many people don’t know that glycolic acid is also helpful reducing uneven pigmentation. I like GlyDerm products, an exfoliating home maintenance program, because they deliver glycolic acid through a controlled-release system that allows for gentle exfoliation. These products are ideal for use after an in-office glycolic peel to continue exfoliating and gently revive dull complexions while helping to minimize the appearance of unwanted pigmentation and irregularities. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen! Cool temperatures do not eliminate the damaging effects of UV rays.”

A Quinoa Hair Product that Works Wonders for Hair!
Did you know that the new mother of all grains, Quinoa, if hydrolyzed, does wonders for the hair? The reason being, it penetrates through the cuticles and supplements the protein loss that happens through coloring, bleaching, sun, sea and age. Quinoa’s natural protein content is far more than any other grain. Furthermore the quinoa protein composition is almost identical to the protein composition of the hair. So when the proteins come in contact, they immediately bond together, making the hair stronger and rebuilding it naturally to prevent breakage and split ends. It also protects against hair loss and thinning for both men and women.
You can now use the quinoa protein to add to your chemical color at home (a cap full) or take it the salon to put in 0.25 oz into one application of 2 oz of color or into one scoop of bleach to give back the protein the hair loses. The difference is amazing and could be felt and seen right away.
Introducing Quinoaplex by ONC, made of the new miracle grain “quinoa”, that transforms hair when hydrolyzed and molecules are then small enough to get through the cuticles of the hair to penetrate into the hair shaft. Quinoaplex by ONC is therefore beneficial because hair is made of 85% Protein which also is called Keratin. Washing hair, color/bleach and/or its exposure to sun, causes loss of protein, thinning of hair (men & women), hair loss and hair breakage.
Quinoaplex by ONC provides:
– lasting shine
– manageability without the need of any gels or hairspray.
– shorter time of hair drying
– decreases hair loss, thinning and breakage
– increases the lasting of hair color
– soothing irritated scalp
– it allows the hair to be colored and bleached with much less damage more often as the protein that the hair loses, is given back with the hydrolyzed quinoa protein.
Other great benefits of quinoa hair protein are:
It promotes growth
Helps the pigmentation of your hair color
Its minerals are natural hair strengtheners
Protect your hair from environmental damaging agents like air pollution.
Use: Shampoo hair and towel dry. Spray on evenly all over hair and then massage till it lathers. Leave for 10-15 min. Then rinse and condition (leave on for 3 min). If you don’t have time, you can just leave it on and not bother with the rinsing and conditioner. You can also add a cap full ( 0.25 fl. oz.) into any chemical box color right before coloring at home. Take it to your salon and ask or insist the colorist put in a cap full ( 0.25 fl. oz.) into your chemical color or bleach solution. It does not interfere with ratios, developeror formula time. You can see its effects after one application. But never use immediately after hair coloring. Wait 3-4 days.
QUINOAPLEX R₃ the organic based bond builder and protein conditioner. Developed for professional use, quinoa protein and the protein composition of hair and nails are almost identical. So when the proteins come together they immediately bond, making the hair stronger, and rebuilding it naturally.
