I love too much this season. Milan becomes a catwalk and it captures for the charm of shopping, the desire to make a big impression and happy hour’ s time, a magical embrace that in this city becomes uniqueness. There are many fashionable parties that are organized among the most picturesque parks of the city and breathtaking locations.

On Sunday it is the time for a barbecue with friends, while the inter weekly leisure is shopping, culture, and cool drinks in the coolest places of the city. Silk Gift Milan is Milan, but its creativity is appreciated and exported all over the world, where there is a demand. The opportunities are many, worldwide and Silk Gift Milan on this occasion wants to  advise you how to dress you with style, as an image consultant there is no other advice that gratifies us much!

If your boss organizes informal output do not let too many thoughts, accept the invitation and chose the perfect outfit. The ideal choice is in the middle between the formal and the informal, the same that you can do if you point to the direction of the office. To detach from the usual office you wear a cotton jacket, floral and pastel colors, these are all trends of the season. For the shirt it is better to opt for long-sleeved linen and without a tie or bow tie worn with tailor made trousers shortened till the ankle. Shoes like loafers without socks.

The  excellence  to go out with friends or with the person you love is the moment that perhaps more than other motivates you to try to look good and make a good impression, but at the same time to appear without much merit  as the result of hours in front of the mirror. What I always say as an image consultant is that "the touch" of style is the beginning and the end of a perfect outfit. I  wasn't  always for athletic shoes (sneakers for instance) worn with tailor made trousers, but if done correctly and with the certainty that they are clean , it can become one of  the most attractive and balance choices to make a good impression in front of the beloved or / and your friends. As concerning to the T-shirt that will not lack for choices of style, I'd recommend to avoid the skulls as a subject, opt for animal faces such as stylized tiger or if you prefer more sober one.

If you go outside the city with friends for a barbecue for the choice of the outfit something informal is perfect, but always in style; comfortable clothes that you have to wear all day are the right way to dress. It depends on the location ... some at the park, close to home so it is ideal for a day trip, trousers in cotton or linen  (make sure that are cut over the ankle), rope espadrilles or sneakers and a linen shirt of good workmanship not  slim fit, if you prefer you can opt for lapelled  sleeves that is more elegant than a t-shirt.

The beautiful season and its festivities involve different levels of formality, you should always have to put your personality in the choice of your outfit and it will be easy to dress with style without appearing sloppy and unkempt.

In my job as a personal shopper and image consultant one of the things that makes me feel excited about is to monitor trends in the blogs I write. On summer 2014, a trend can be dots, moreover after the catwalks the famous cover of W Magazine on December where George Clooney was totally "seasoned" with polka dots white and black. When you love everything that is a trend following it by bad taste is very easy. In my experience of image consulting the colors are seasonally approved as a trend to follow, whether you must be careful to chose the ones that matches under the face of each person. Remember that the dots bring attention to what concerns the shape of your body, because they have a tendency to tighten when small and enlarge when big.

Whether you love them or not their presence is not unusual for the men's fashion this year and even more the dots have appeared in the men's catwalks around the world by Canali, Marni, Burberry Prorsum, Acne, Kris Van Assche ... they have marched polka dots.

If you are not convinced you're okay with a cable or accessory polka dots maybe this is the right time to try a print always foreign to label / brand in particular as opposed, for example to Missoni' s stripes or zig-zag or to all of the floral prints. Through the dots you can find out that there is an infinite number of variations and from my position as a personal shopper is nothing easier to propose them seen in a designer store or at the market , I can work for any type of budget available for my clients.

Even the man likes to put the best face in front of his figure and so that the male's make -up becomes more a daily ritual. The woman's image consulting  is subject to the full figure and the self-esteem of each case in fact  the make-up's section in our book, "The queens of fashion and of the house," is very interesting and speaks about that, not least by many men that combine image consulting and personal shopping to the request for more product 's advice  and that's why we suggest them more and more brands that have created a make-up's lines dedicated to men; however if you look for,you will discover  that  these have  always existed.

The man interested in the make-up will not be embarrassed to discover  that he takes  care of his appearance and then there is the approval of some women as a model of continuity of the generation style 's icons. The make-up products  help man to give up with  imperfections but at the same time it hides with the colors of each face. As an image consultant some basic advice for a man are :

- Moisturizers that provide a light coverage for the skin's tone and the decrease of its luster.

- If you have  the pimples or any area where you need more coverage , use a concealer to camouflage imperfections , it has become one of the essential products, remember always that it is not meant to be used in large areas.It  is always followed by a light application of color's powder that will complete  the coverage by smoothing the makeup to skin's color and it remains a useful way to reduce its brightness .

- Be careful not to overdone it with the dust of the excess powder to avoid wrinkles on the face during the day.

- Consult a professional if you have problems to find out  a color that matches with your skin ' s tone .

- When applying any colored product , avoid the area where you have beard 's stubbles, that catch in its  hair and I would recommend to avoid any colored product when you work out so you will not have  the embarrassment to end up with the  shirt' s collar  dirty.

- Wash your face with a product   to clean makeup in the evening.

The colors are lively, fun, we all need color in our lives! As an image consultant I could never deny the color in the wardrobe of every man and / or woman, it is my fundamental business's tool. I'm excited about the male wardrobe that becomes more and more bright, nowadays modern man wears colored jeans, shirts in countless shades and even his formal dress code is glamorous in his colorful details. Silk Gift Milan follows fashionable men who always approve their outfits, garment or accessory from the trendiest colors by  wearing it with the necessary confidence and with enough capacity to distinguish him in style. In my experience as an image consultant and personal shopper I love to follow the clothes' choices of all men and women advising them about the colors that best exploit the strengths of each body shape but never forget the BLACK AND WHITE, or the no-color. The black and white is a classical combination that fits in a contemporary world and as the  must-have and must never be desired in every wardrobe, his presence is in the same  sophisticated appeal, if worn on a tuxedo and may appear as a rebel outfits in a modern hipster. It 'could not resist the chance to test time, all the other colors following each season are in competition with each other, while the supremacy of color remains dominated by white and black. When Silk Gift Milan is invited to follow the fashion catwalks sitting by the Runway we see the designers in "colourway" simple and elegant and think over that while color is important it is equally true that a certain lack can add character and class to our clothes.

Before becoming a personal shopper and image consultant for men and women I firmly believe that the idea of ​​ style and fashion can help us to feel good. It is a message that the designers in their advertising's campaigns enter perfectly, in fact the models project an image that through the posture, temperament and above all by what they wear reaches the clients as if to say "look at how  this dress make me feel great”. During my job as an image consultant when I meet someone for the first time, the first few seconds I can identify him, we are judged for relevance and intelligence and if it is the case or not to worth time. It is a behaviour that starts for most of the time  from our human subconscious, that comes out  by the society from what is ideal in terms of  stereotyped perfection.

Silk Gift Milan is able thanks to its image consultant's services to give you more safeness. We can not help through psychological channel, which we leave to those who do that as job, but we believe that through the style, we can help anyone to put a wonderful basis to build up a deeper self-confidence.

Whether you like or not we live in a society where the first impression matters a lot, the way we dress has an important role on our appearance because the right dress just throws us into greater self-esteem and confidence when we speak. A man (or woman) after our image consultant's service can not go unnoticed by extraordinarily positive comments on his/ her clothes, accessory or footwear he / she wears .... his/her appeal is an expression of elegance, confidence and intelligence.

When I have in front of me a man for an image consultant's service I love to imagine each item as if it were a whole framework, I know that it is unchic to express in this way, but suppose to give the clothes as layers to build our confidence and bring out the child and fun that is in each of us by playing as fighters for a day, you will understand better my  comparison! Facing every day our lives with the idea that every clothes or accessory we wear is like adding confidence to our personality.

As personal shopper and image consultant I argue that it is not necessary to dress only fashion brands to feel up our confidence, once you are aware of what clothes you must have  to become part of your framework, it is not difficult to find out how to dress in  the right way .. certainly do not expect ever to present in public with pants and sweatshirt at all!

After an image consulting' s section a man can recognize and be guided by the characteristics of his style' s icon and this is another step to build up trust with his style, but never fall into the trap of putting in comparison. Silk Gift Milan has two personal shopper and image consultants who believe in your confidence because it is an important value for the professional life of everybody ... and the key to achieve it is the style!

I think that the floral  trend can bloom in many men's wardrobe next season on spring - summer 2014 !  When I look at the floral shirts the first thought that comes into my mind is the Tropics, where men with a big tummy make this garment a must have of their wardrobe with a warm, cheerful and relaxed spirit that identifies the land where they live. The great capacity of creativity in fashion in the last few seasons has been able to distance making us forget that image of overweighted man, gave them style and managed to bring many clothes with floral pattern even in the cities  where sunny beaches, palm trees and seaside are just covers for brochures of travel agencies. As image consultant and personal shopper for man we are excited to recommend clothes and accessories ... all with floral pattern, extraordinary colures and appreciated by many men who would have never thought at these clothes.

Thanks to our experience as personal shoppers we are aware that man that used to dress only with "blue suits" and it is difficult to immediately opt for shirts, pants or even a accessories with flowers, but what I say on the subject is the importance of how wearing it.

When a man chooses to wear floral, he usually must  have the knowledge to choose tones by his nature that are certainly not at the peak of sobriety. Sometimes it is necessary to avoid what Silk Gift Milan ironically called "curtain effect" we advice  to combine one or two flower clothes with the rest of the outfit in tone, so  if you are wearing a floral blazer the rest of your outfit should remain sober.

There are clothes and accessories that before entering into the wardrobe of a man or woman aroused much talk. The beauty of fashion is the nature of the division. While one person will love a certain item, another may be puzzled as to why it was never been created; sandals are an example that after I have seen them in catwalks for the next season spring - summer 2014 now I advice them for shopping to some men by promising personality, give rise to a certain contempt, meanwhile for  others are a must have for their summer's wardrobe.

The Arabian friends of Silk Gift Milan have the cult of sandalwood and some of them are not questioning anything, as observed from my position as an image consultant and personal shopper among all the men's shoes are loved and hated at the same measure.

For all the men who do not like that kind I understand that it is hard to blame them after all, the most famous people who have made the history of the sandals are Jesus, Gandhi, the entire German race .... which have contributed to the great world, but  they are not known for their wonderful taste in fashion and style.

As a personal shopper and image consultant I have never imposed at any cost to change style or what anyone doesn't approve like an item or accessory not suitable to the figure and personality of those who are entrusted to my advice.

Silk Gift Milan thinks that this is the right time to let the sandals into your wardrobe and the designers were not long in coming since the very interesting proposals by presenting outfits to suit all tastes:

• Models of reptile skin patterns and colors of traditional Versace, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, Calvin Klein Collection.

• In suede, nubuck and models of clear plastic from 3.1 Phillip Lim, Dries Van Noten, Calvin Klein Collection, Versace.

• Models with two-tone colors from Z Zegna, Salvatore Ferragamo, Marni, Issey Miyake.

• Black and brown "color detail" by Kenzo, Dries Van Noten, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Dolce & Gabbana.

• With thick straps, a solid top and flip-flops Valentino, Corneliani, Kenzo, Z Zegna. 

• Raffia and traditional models by Hermes, Lanvin, Salvatore Ferragamo, Paul Smith. 

• open and closed toe sandals and gladiator sandals from Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Issey Miyake, Michael Kors.

If you are not waiting to be invited for a wedding in some remote paradisiacal island, you don't have to wait a lot of time to wear a good pair of sandals. During the evening in summer time if you'll decide to go out , the choice of flip-flops and shorts is an informal dress code and choosing shoes might seem "over the top", then a pair of sandal is the right choice for a perfect style.

Fashion can be the expression  of us an individual. As personal shopper I always say that all the clothes and accessories we choose to wear are an expression of what we are. At the moment of the shopping every decision goes through all this, it is undeniable that the trend of trying on to make us successful in buying clothes that help us to be different, an accessory that is able to stand out among so many. It can be the conditional thought of an image consultant, but I wonder walking in my city how many people are really interested in style.

We can always improve our appearance while keeping our style that can may be individual but different from the others.
The king Giorgio Armani says, "Style is to have the courage of our own choices, and also the courage to say no. It is taste and culture".
I follow my job as a personal shopper & image consultant with passion, what gratifies me is being able to capture from my clients enthusiasm for complacency style that they find out again.
 

Silk Gift Milan puts all its expertise to give you tips to improve your style, but there is always the need of your own personal touch. 

Accessories are essential to make your outfit unique. Improve the style although it is often difficult to understand the amount that you have available even for men.
For example in the new upcoming season, the choice of a brooch or a poschette for the Blazer can give you a true touch of originality.

There are prints on t-shirts, shirts, ties ... with fun and original patterns and can be combined with a stylish clothes following the trend of the moment. Their presence is strong or simple, as we want it to be. In the 'one-color dress 'outfits  their use can change the way you're used to be seen. Of course, do not overdone it. 
It is not difficult to see men's outfits that are "simple" boring and monochromatic, as image consultant I am the first to advice that this may be right in a certain way, but it is as true as it is important to enhance the color and appearance of the look. Think of a purse or an "envelope" to go with colored sneakers or a pair of shoes; it is better to avoid getting dressed from head to toe fully colored, but choose just a little. If you think for example to red as your colour, the bow tie is certainly a gamble bold and eccentric that can enhance the style , while others even go unnoticed.

The choice of jewellery for the male has finally found out its place in a beautiful and original creativity of rings, bracelets, necklaces.... so why not wear them. Plastic, wood, rope or steel are the ones that I recommend because they reveal the best style.
Least but not last as image consultant I suggest to take care about the size and fit of your clothes if you don't want to lose  your style in fact it is important that The fit will combines with your body's shape so that sometimes

The slim fit's choice can be wrong if your waist is fairly big.

"The Great Beauty" movie by Paolo Sorrentino has been conquering the world as an icon of the Made in Italy. Rome offers for its breathtakingly images an eternal uniqueness and elusive beauty but much-deserved, its success is also due to the Made in Italy, despite that you feel to be in an emptied Italy and in a perpetual decline, it is always this beautiful country that can keep on to be a source of fashion in the world.

The elegance and extraordinary ability of the main character Toni Servillo in Jep Gambardella parades along Rome in a high quality tailor made clothes designed by King Giorgio Armani and with leaders from the Neapolitan style like Cesare Attolini, glasses with Luxottica lenses, while the hats are made from the historical hat factory in Florence whose name is Marzi.

The Neapolitan tailor Cesare Attolini has been keeping on to create clothes with a unique personality and timeless sophistication since 1930, just think that to create these clothes are necessary from 25 to 30 hours. Silk Gift Milan is always excited to offer its clients the best Italian craftsmanship as deep expression of art and could not remain indifferent by giving visibility in the man's blog. On the stage Jep Gambardella moves with a subtle elegance and sophistication, he slows brain showing off clothes made ​​to measure for the occasion showing an extraordinary palette of colours, it stands out the bright yellow, orange, bright plaid, blue, white linen robe, the blue ice of the jacket, deep burgundy and a refined contemporary fantasy for the Prince of Wales; the main character manages to fit everything easy, even when the taste creates charming, full marks, we appreciate him as man's image consultant by Silk Gift Milan.

Thanks to the charismatic style of Jep Gambardella the handkerchief stands out of his pocket like a beautiful flower and it may flourish as a trend for many fashion victims.

Silk Gift Milan hopes after the well-deserved award at the Golden Globes, that "The Great Beauty" can triumph at the Oscar too; however no other movie has so much value in the "Made in Italy" represented by the beauty, luxury, comfort, passion, creativity, quality, identity of the Italian life style loved worldwide.

As image consultants for professional reason we follow the men's fashion week because we are interested in the colour’s palette proposed. They are characterized by their monochromatic thereby satisfying even the tastes of all The fashion addictive, but already present since the past season for the many colours and patterns in the man's wardrobe .

On the catwalk the Radiant Orchid purple has been one of the main colour which is the second colour's Pantone of the year 2014 both for women and men. Of course, you can ignore the trend or take note and add it to your wardrobe. Silk Gift Milan looks at the purple colour since its inception because it's about creativity, originality, inventiveness. It is an intriguing colour. Emotion and clarity are involved in this colour.

As image consultants we certainly can direct you to the right choice for a perfect look, but overall to match this colour is not so difficult and as image consultants we advise that the purple colour  goes well with neutral colours like white, cream and navy blue. However shades like gray and green combine with it very well.
