Fashion jobs to go for today?
I have been working in fashion for a number of years as Buyer, working in M&S for the last 3 years. Thing are pretty challenging at the moment, we kind of got a lot pf product lines wrong and so performance has not been that good and we got a bit of a bollocking from our bosses. I am worried that certain departments within M&S are going to get shut down or certainly down-sized in the coming year! Not one to get caught with the hot potato I have started looking at the various fashion jobs out there on a number of job sites. If I am honest, I was bit disappointed by how poorly fashion jobs are being paid at the moment. For example, merchandiser’s with 5 years experience are being offered between £30 – to £40k!. I was expecting that to be at least £5k higher. Designer jobs are attracting from £30k onwards- it looks to me like jobs in fashion are actually paying less! Any thoughts?
In case you are wondering, I have been getting my result from numerous job sites including; totaljobs, reed, CareersandjobsUk, jobsite and they are all coming back with the same kind of figures for pay, which makes sense really as they all advertise jobs for the various recruitment agencies and employers…. interestingly, I have even comes across the same jobs adverts on these different sites and the terms of offer are the same, so they must be genuine. I have sometimes heard that these jobs adverts are not genuine. I would dispute that.

A Guide to Buying Gifts for Men
Buying gifts for men can be a tricky business. More than likely, even asking the man directly what he would like as a gift will not be fruitful. Often he will only know whether he wants it after he has received the gift. However, there are some safe areas with men where just about anything could be bought and he would appreciate it. Some of these are generic to the majority of men and some are specific to the particular passions the man has in his life.
Gadgets
The majority of men love gadgets. From the expensive to the sublime: from GPS units to electronic bottle openers. There is just something about gadgets that men seem to love. Perhaps it is the ability to effortlessly perform a task that at one time took some degree of time and exertion. Perhaps it is simply the novelty of a new toy that can be tinkered with for hours on end. Either way, gadgets do appeal to the inner child and are a fairly safe bet for the majority of men. However, knowing the man well is the key as this is not always the case. Some men would be much happier with items of clothing such as unique menswear, totally bucking the trend.
Sports
Almost every man loves sport. Millions of men all over the world have a great passion for football and would simply love any gift associated with their favourite team. Unique menswear featuring the branding of their team always goes down well. However, some men much prefer other team sports such as rugby or even outdoor pursuits including mountaineering and mountain biking. In such an instance a good pair of boots or even wellies by Joules could be the perfect gift. By buying a gift for a man that relates to a sport for which he has a passion the giver really cannot go wrong.
DIY and cars
Men find that anything to do with DIY and cars boosts their masculinity. This does no harm when it comes to buying gifts for men and buying something that relates to either cars or DIY is a safe bet. A man can never have enough tools or enough gadgets for the car. Moreover, unique menswear relating to either the car or power tools can go down a treat.
Buying presents for men that relate to a specific passion or interest in his life often goes down well but to do this one must know him intimately. If this is not the case gifts related to DIY, cars, sports and gadgets can go down a treat. With the exception of unique menswear clothing is best avoided as it is very rarely to the taste of the man. However, menswear that is tailored to a specific passion or interest is often very much appreciated by men. It must be remembered that it is very easy to generalise about the tastes of men but there is no substitute for knowing the man himself.

Concerning the T-Shirt
The staple clothing item of our era are t-shirts. It’s an ingrained part of our material culture and therefore goes with almost anything in a man’s modern wardrobe. However it is important to keep in mind that what you wear presents a statement about who you are, so try and refrain from putting any obvious or offensive branding or slogans on your person. Keep to subtle coloring; solids are ideal put patterns can work too if you are careful.
T-Shirt and Jeans
This is the primordial ancestor of all modern t-shirt combos. It’s a casual look that harkens back to an era of grubby, mid-century kids playing a pickup ball game and should inform as to the right way to pull off this look without looking too much like a slob. Any non-branded t-shirt will work as long as it fits right and is tucked in. Complete with a pair of high-top chucks, or if you are trying to be a bit more grown up, penny loafers and you will look indistinguishable from the progenitors of this look.
T-shirt and shorts
I’ve spent too many summers trying to pretend like shorts were a fashion misstep, now I can’t wait for the first day when I can finally bring those bad boys out. Since t-shirts are about the most comfortable thing in the heat that still has sleeves. The most obvious choice for foot cover are sandals or similar. If you are uncomfortable putting anything that looks cheap on your feet, opt for leather sandals.
Dressing-Up a T-Shirt
T-shirts can work with vaguely more formal dress as well by simply throwing a cardigan or sport coat over it. The best combinations come from choosing contrasting color schemes with plain t-shirts. Some say leave the cardigan unbuttoned for the best effect. Also, t-shirts can be stepped up a bit and t-shirts made out of posh material like silk can be worn with a suit for a night on the town.
Leather Jacket Combo
For the classic rebel without a cause look pair jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket. This look tends to be a bit costumey, which means basically go whole hog or go home. Therefore a fierce pair of boots is a necessity (no tennis shoes need apply here). My personal favorite here is either high lace boots with the legs of the jeans rolled up, or a pair of snake skin cowboy boots. Also, make sure to have your t-shirt tucked in so as to reveal your similarly fierce belt and aggressive belt buckle.
