Business Casual - Men's Office Fashion Ideas

1. The Odd Jacket

The term odd jacket isn’t used much anymore, but it means a jacket that wasn’t made with a matching pair of pants.  A navy blazer would be a wiser choice than ever. You can pull this look off in two ways: With dress pants or with chinos. The dress pants will give you a dressier look whereas the chinos are a tad more casual. These looks will probably be fine if your office has this standard of business-casual

2. The Suit Sans Tie

The first way to dress business-casual is to simply wear your suit without the tie. Besides, make sure to wear a nice watch that’s not too blingy. A leather strap with a subtle silver or gold face is fine. Avoid silver or gold straps.

And consider sprucing the outfit up a bit with a pocket square. You’re going without a tie, which frees up the neck but also diminishes the visual interest some. Adding a pocket square will fix that. This is just one step down from business-formal and still looks the most professional. This outfit is actually quite safe when it comes to dressing business casual.

3. The Shirt & Slacks

This is the most casual of the business-casual looks. Do not use coats and tie. Like with the previous look, go with dress pants rather than chinos to avoid venturing too far into casual territory.

However, unlike the previous look, don’t try to elevate this by adding a tie. Wearing a tie without a jacket makes you look boyish. 

So either wear a jacket and tie or wear neither. You can take the jacket off as you sit down to work, or even carry it on your arm as you move from your office to a client’s.

4. The Dressed-Up Knit

The dressed-up knit outfit has you wearing a sweater or a cardigan instead of a jacket.

This look leans far more towards casual than the previous two, so I’d recommend pairing the knitwear with dress pants, rather than chinos. The latter works too, but dress pants will slide the look back towards business a bit. And pairing a tie with your knitwear will have the same effect.

7 Favorite Best Gifts Make Your Teachers absolutely Happy On World Teachers’ day

With the summer holidays on the horizon, the time has come to show your appreciation to all the hard-working teachers who have guided your kids through the school year, The World Teachers’ Day.

Read more about this day here

To have a well-prepared gift for your teachers, you should know what they actually need on this day.

Now, Let’s find some interesting ideas for your gifts.

1. A mug

One of IndyBest’s teacher friends told us her favorite present was a personalized mug with a picture of her class on it. We think it’s a great idea, and if you do too, we'd recommend Photobox's ceramic mug. We’ve gone for the cheapest option, which just allows for one photo and text, but you can add plenty more detail for a few pounds more. Make sure you order at least a week before the end of the term. 

2. Book for the classroom library

A new book for the classroom library. It’s maybe the most meaningful for your teacher and your class.

Have you pick out your favorite book from the school year and donate it to the classroom. Teachers always loved receiving new books autographed by the student who gifted it. This was such a special way to grow out classroom library with quality children’s literature. Investing in your child’s classroom library is not only a useful gift but a gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.

To make it even more meaningful, you can sign inside the front cover with their name, school year and possibly even a small message as to why this is the book they chose to add to the library collection. 

Showing your appreciation for the teacher doesn’t have to be expensive. Just a little thing can melt him or her.

5 Struggles Of Going Back To School After Summer Vacation Should Be Known

3. Love Give Ink Notebook

A special notebook is the sort of thing they might not splash out on for themselves, and a personalized one makes a thoughtful gift for a stationery-loving teacher. Love Give Ink’s are some of the nicest we’ve seen. They’re handmade in London and have thick, soft-touch hardback covers – available in six colors – with the teacher’s name and subject in gold or silver foiling. Inside is quality, weighty blank white paper and it comes in an A5 or A4 version. 

4. Group gifts

When a bunch of parents or students get together, they can purchase a generous gift card or a more expensive item from a teacher’s wish list. You can buy unique World teachers’ day shirts for all your classmates and you’re your teacher. That’s will be great. All you will have a gift as well.

Other classes must be jealous of your class. A great number of new unique design t-shirts will not disappoint you.

5. Tote Bag

Everyone including a teacher needs a good oversized tote bag. I have this oversize shopper and I love it. I use it for a lot of things. Depending on how much money you want to spend will determine the type of bag that you can get. In the past I have purchased canvas tote bags at a reasonable price, that I will have monogrammed with either the teachers name, initials, favorite word or saying. A teacher can never have too many bags to lug home with stuff from school and personalizing the bag gives it such a special touch.

6. Bring them coffee, tea or lunch

There are not too many teachers that will say no to a hot morning coffee, tea or a Caramel Frappuccino topped with some whipped cream. Surprising them with lunch from their favorite hangout also is a welcomed treat

7. Teacher Survival Kit

Another great way to give your teacher a personalized gift for the next school year. Check out this resource that includes things to put in such a survival kit- with witty notes to boot.

Although all of these are the best gifts to express gratitude on the World Teachers’ Day. The greatest thing a teacher needs from students and their parents is a sincere thank you.

Keeping this in mind, I can’t tell you how powerful and important er it is to hear “thank you,” or receive some kind of thank you note from a student or a parent to your teachers. It’s those thoughts that keep us going, that remind teachers why we do what we do. More information

National Coffee Day: Is coffee really good for your health?

Calling fellow coffee lovers! September 29th is National Coffee Day! In that day, we can spare time to have some ideas about the advantages and the appropriate amount of coffee should be consumed every day

Ah, coffee. Whether you’re cradling a travel mug on your way to work or dashing out after spin class to refuel with a skinny latte, it’s hard to imagine a day without it. The caffeine perks you up, and there’s something incredibly soothing about sipping a steaming cup of joe. But is drinking coffee good for you?

Good news: The case for coffee is stronger than ever. Study after study indicates you could be getting more from your favorite morning beverage than you thought: Coffee is chock full of substances that may help guard against conditions more common in women, including Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. Let’s find some advantages:

1. Coffee boosts your physical performance

Have a cup of black coffee about an hour before workout and your performance can improve by 11-12%. Caffeine increases adrenaline levels in your blood. Adrenaline is your body’s “fight or flight” hormone which helps you to prepare for physical exertion.

2. Coffee is hydrating

While many have claimed that coffee and tea are diuretics, recent studies found that participants were just as hydrated, whether their liquids had added caffeine or not. Good news: your three cups of coffee count towards hydration!

So It can reduce cirrhosis. While coffee cannot reverse liver damage or even help you sober up after a night out, one scientific study did find that coffee consumption can significantly reduce the risk of cirrhosis.

3. Decreased depression

A large study from 2011 found that depression risk decreases with increasing caffeinated consumption for women.

4. Antioxidants

Plus, coffee is full of antioxidants! Surely that makes it an officially approved health food.

5. Coffee drinkers have less risk of heart disease.

Korean researchers found that study participants who consumed 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day were less likely to show the beginning signs of heart disease. The study. Other dietary factors should also be noted as Koreans typically have a different diet than do Westerners. A more recent study conducted in Brazil found that those that consume at least three cups of coffee a day tend to develop less calcification in their coronary arteries.

6. Coffee reduces the risk of cancers.

One study has shown that coffee may decrease the risk of developing prostate cancer in men by 20 %, and endometrial cancer in women by 25 %. People in the test group drank four cups of coffee a day. Caffeine may also prevent the developing of basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer

On the other hand, you should know some information below: 

• Bad coffee can be toxic. Bad quality coffee can have a lot of impurities in it, which can cause sickness, headache or a general bad feeling. This can happen if your coffee is made from beans that have been over ripped or otherwise ruined. Even one ruined bean can make your cup toxic. If you invest and buy high quality, specialty coffee you don’t have to worry about this. 

• Coffee can kill you. Yes, if you drink 80-100 cups (23 liters) in a short session. This dose is lethal and will amount in 10-13 grams of caffeine within your body. Before you reach this point, however, you'll be vomiting most of it out since 23 liters of any liquid is a lot. Even drinking 23 liters of water can kill you. 

• Coffee can cause insomnia and restlessness. Again, it's the caffeine working here. Your recommended maximum amount of caffeine is 400 milligrams, roughly the amount that you’ll get from 4 cups of coffee. If you’re caffeine-sensitive, be careful with coffee. You are probably already aware what amount and what kind of coffee suits, or doesn't suit you. The amount of caffeine that is safe for human consumption is actually written in our DNA.

If you have high cholesterol or you are caffeine sensitive, pregnant or a child (or a parent of one), you should pay attention to coffee drinking.

For others, reasonable amounts (1-6 cups a day) coffee can be good for you. It can prevent serious diseases, boost your mind and muscles, and even help you with weight loss. Remember, as long as you drink toxin free, specialty coffee and brew it with care, you can and should be enjoying it knowing it's good for you. If you took the time to read this whole article (thank you!), please share it so your friends will get it right, too.

An inspiring coffee shirt can show your love for the special drink. It’s also a T-shirt gift for your family members to encourage them to drink the appropriate amount of coffee.

Let’s try something new like a coffee shirt and live healthily!

Make Good Impression On Your First Day At School With 14 Back-to-school Tips

Starting college is a daunting experience, and your first day can often be the most daunting. But it doesn’t need to be! While many people think that the first day is the most stressful, we’ve come up with some tips to make sure that your first day is as fun and as easy a transition into college life as possible.

1. Prepare early

It would not be great to go school supply shopping the night before the first day. A few weeks before school starts, make a list of what you need for school. 

If you get a supply list in the mail, follow it. If you don't, write out what you think you need. (Note: you may have to return to the store to get a few more items after school has already started). Set a budget, and head off to the store. This is more fun with a friend.

Some ideas are binders, notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, correction tape, paper clips, lined paper, pencil crayons, highlighters, etc. If you can, reuse some things you still have from the previous school year. It is best to start fresh with new supplies.

2. Get some more clothing items.

Again, make a list of what you want/need. It's also more fun to go shopping with a friend, sibling or another family member.

A list of what you might need includes the following:

At least 2 pairs of new jeans (one dark wash and one light wash is probably a good way to start) 

You may also want some new sandals/flip flops if it's warm where you live or if it's getting chilly, you may want combat boots or Ugg boots. (Toms, Converse, Vans, and Keds are also good choices). 

Try having 1 pair of gym shoes, and 3 good pairs of shoes you can wear to school. If you already have these shoes, you probably don't need to purchase more. 

You should make sure you have enough undergarments that fit well, as well as tank tops. You should get new back to school shirts, like flannels, t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts as well as hoodies and sweaters.

3. Eat a healthy, hearty breakfast

You don't want to be hungry throughout the day.

4. Pack your lunch or gather lunch money

Everyone needs to eat lunch, or they will be hungry later. Be sure to look at the school lunch menu for the day before deciding on ordering school lunch, though, to make sure that you'll be eating something you like!

5. Take a note of the rules, and obey them!

Disobeying rules are the quickest way to get in your teacher's bad books. Rules are there to be obeyed, and you might find yourself in detention if you disobey them.

6. Say hi to people and smile!

Being friendly is the best way to make new friends. But don't overdo it, you'll end up being a creep or the weird girl/boy of the school. Just remember, act natural and be yourself!

7. If you have your own group of friends already

Don't act too exclusive or clingy. It'll make others feel intimated and they'll start judging you or just avoid you completely all together.

8. Make a school year resolution and stick to it

That way you'll be more organized. For example, always keep a diary on you!

9. Explore your campus!

Once you’ve unpacked and made yourself feel a little more at home, go and explore your new surroundings! Whether you head straight to figure out where your classes will be or you’re more interested in seeing the recreational facilities, try to orient yourself and see a bit more of the campus. You’ll be feeling at home in no time!

10. Don’t spend your first night alone.

And no, before you get the wrong idea, we are definitely not suggesting that you hook up with someone on your first day! Whether people on your halls are going to a party or they’re all staying in with a chick flick and some popcorn, be sure that you’re not in your room alone the first night. Even if you’re really tired, go and meet some new people before saying you’re super tired and need some sleep.

11. Meet as many people as possible…

Be prepared to meet as many people as you can on your first day. Everyone is going to be smiling and keen to make new friends, so be sure to take advantage of this! Don’t judge anyone yet, and don’t automatically decide who your friends are going to be—just take it easy and play it by ear.

Just be sure that you introduce yourself to as many people as you can! Whether you go around your hall knocking on doors or are just hanging out with people who knocked on your door, be sure that you spend time with other people who have just moved in.

As your students enter your classroom for the first time, stop each one at the door and say hello. Smile, look them in the eye and introduce yourself.

This simple act puts nervous students at ease and sends the message that you care about them. It’s also a quick and easy way to begin building rapport and reciprocal kindness.

14 THINGS TO KNOW TO PREPARE FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR PART 1

12. Be kind

Be kind to the teachers even if they aren't that nice to you. It may seem ridiculous, but it can make the difference between a good year in that class or a bad year! Just remember, you will have that teacher for a year! And being friendly can make people view you differently.

13. At break times, enjoy yourself!

I'm sure by now you will have found many new friends, so hang out with them! Suggest games that you are certain that everyone will enjoy, and smile a lot! Smiling lets people know you are enjoying their company, and they will want to spend more time with you. Plus, everyone looks better with a (genuine) smile.

14. Be positive

It may seem like High school is the most annoying thing and the worst part of your life, but it's not.

Your first day, and in fact the entire Welcome Week, is a very stressful experience—and many people don’t have the best time. But it's okay! You’ll settle in soon, especially once you’re in the routine of classes and have met people with similar interests in your classes and through the extracurriculars that you choose to join. Try and make the most of your first day with these tips, but don’t panic if it isn’t perfect!

What to Wear to a Wedding as a guest- Wedding Outfits for men

1. Black Tie Wedding Attire

This code keeps the wedding formal, but easing up on all the “rules” is the name of the game here. A tuxedo will fit in nicely with Creative Black Tie, but you can branch out a little, too. Dinner jackets are a good choice, and both neckties and bow ties are welcome in patterns or low-key colors.

If you opt for a suit instead, just make sure you dress it up to keep up. So, all about you need are Dinner jacket tuxedo, White tuxedo shirt or dress shirt, Cufflinks, Pocket square, Patent leather shoes or velvet loafers

2. Semi-Formal Wedding

The semi-formal dress code is the more popular request for wedding invitations nowadays. And is your safest bet if a code isn’t specified at all. It’s more relaxed than black tie but is far from casual. But be warned: styling must not look like you’re off to the office or a court hearing. It’s a mistake too often made by men who want sophistication but come off as stuffy and polite. And unoriginal.

A dark suit is the foundation of a semi-formal look. Two or three pieces, it’s your choice. Black, navy and charcoal grey are all acceptable options, especially in winter. During the day and summer, a lighter suit can be worn, as long as you’re not foregoing your socks and tie. 

How about the shirts? Stick with a solid neutral color, a mild pattern, or a demure jacquard. Make sure the shirt is crisp, clean and pressed – the collar sharp, never floppy. And Oxfords are the go-to choice of shoes for a semi-formal ensemble.

3. Beach/ Outdoor Wedding

The location dictates everything here. If you’re a guest, ask the groom and best man what they’re wearing and take your cues accordingly. 

Do still make an effort and wear a suit – this is a special occasion – but your tailoring should reflect your surroundings. Go for looser trousers and an unlined jacket to allow air to circulate. And it should be light in more ways than one. You should choose a suit with a bright color. You’ll also want breathable fabrics such as cotton, seersucker, perhaps linen. But exercise caution before wearing a linen suit. It can crease badly so you may want to give it a test run in advance.

A suit made from 100 percent cotton will keep you cool on the beach, patch pockets will come in handy for your sunglasses. If you need to take the jacket off, the floral grandad-collar shirt – will look greatly untucked with the cuffs rolled slightly. The color coordinates well with the suit and sandals and the busy print will detract from any perspiration marks.

4. Cocktail Attire Wedding

Imagine your work is business casual, but you’re going out for the evening and can’t stop home to change your outfit first. Cocktail attire is that happy medium dress code that covers both bases. Aim for a look that can wear it to the office, but one that’s simultaneously dressed up enough for a formal event.

If that’s too vague, just make sure your outfit shows a little more personality than your 9 to 5 would merit. So what you should wear are Navy or blue suit, Necktie or bow tie, Tie clip, Cufflinks, Pocket square, Black or brown leather shoes

5. Casual Attire

While printing the word “casual” on a wedding invitation is admittedly risky, it’s your job to know better than to wear shorts, denim, or a t-shirt to a wedding. Casual wedding attire for men calls for dress slacks and a blazer, but a suit will definitely cover all your bases. Your look should mesh appropriately in a relaxed atmosphere while respecting the momentous event of a wedding.

All you need is a suit, shirt or a unique design t shirt (solids or patterns), Necktie (use it if you choose a shirt), Pocket Square, Brown suede shoes, Cufflinks (optional), Suede belt (optional)

5 EASIEST TIPS TO WAKE UP YOUR KIDS IN THE SCHOOL DAY

All summer, we let our daughter stay up until 9PM. She read, played on her tablet and then fell asleep… as late as she wanted. Then, she slept in until 7:30AM, lay in bed and then pulled on some play clothes to lazily start her day. It’s what summers are for, right? 

But when school started, our mornings became one chaotic mess. It’s so hard to wake up kids for school! I constantly nagged her to get out of bed, reminded her to stop playing or questioned if she was ready to walk out the door.

An exciting back-to-school shirt as a gift will keep their kids get up early every day as the first day? 

Let’s read more to find some tips to well-prepared and bring their back to school!

1. Prep the Night Before

We understand there’s hardly enough time in the day to finish today’s tasks, especially if you start preparing every night for tomorrow’s busy morning. But nightly preparation by both the parent and child makes it much easier to get out the door the next morning. For parents, make sure to decide on a healthy breakfast for the next morning, pack all lunches, finish looking over homework and do anything else that can help your child have a more productive day.

• Plan outfits ahead of time. 

This strategy tops lots of parents' lists for a reason. Lay out clothes for the next morning (or even the next week), and preempt any debates on what's considered appropriate school attire. 

For children, a few preparations that are key to an easier morning include laying out tomorrow’s clothes, having the book bag packed and ready to go and making sure your alarm clock is set before bed. 

• Keep backpacks packed. 

Besides putting homework away ahead of time, professional organizer Janet Bernstein has her kids' phones charge on top of their backpacks each night, so they never forget them. "Implement this rule, and you've also solved the 'no devices in the bedroom' argument," she says.

2. Make Sure Your Kids Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Depending on your child’s age, he or she may need anywhere between 8 to 12 hours of sleep each night in order to have the happiest, most productive day possible. Typically, younger children need more sleep. Children ages 5-12 usually need anywhere between 10 to 12 hours of sleep per night, whereas children ages 12-18 may need a little less sleep ranging from 8-9 hours a day. Every child is different, though, so make sure to monitor your kid’s early morning behavior to determine if he or she is getting too little sleep. 

Limit devise us: As adults, we know its hard to fall asleep when you’re not tired – and it’s definitely the same for kids.

When we start making their bedtime earlier, our rule is only to be in bed by a certain time. If my daughter’s not tired, she can always read a book, but no electronics

3. Get Back to the Routine.

After months of staying up late, you can’t go to bed earlier before you begin waking up earlier. So, at least a week before summer vacation ends, start setting the alarm clocks.

Begin with a wake-up time that is about an hour earlier than usual. For example, if your 6-year-old goes to bed at 9 p.m. during the summer and needs to get back to an 8 p.m. bedtime for school, begin by waking her up at 7 a.m. instead of letting her sleep until 8. Then try inching her bedtime back the next night to 8:30 p.m. On day two, wake her up at 6:30 a.m. and aim for an 8 p.m. bedtime.

4. Get a few new school items to wake up your children for school.

Do you remember the joy of using a new backpack on the first day of school? I remember jumping out of bed because everything I had for school was new and exciting. A cute new back-to-school shirt absolutely makes your kid jump out of her bed. Our kids feel the exact same way. But here’s the parenting ninja part, we don’t allow her to use any of her new items until the first day of school. This creates anticipation and excitement to jump out of bed the first week of school.

Novelty is your friend when trying to get your child back on a decent wake-up schedule.

5. Let natural consequence take over

At some point during the first week of school, or maybe the second, your child may start sleeping in again. That is completely normal. In fact, I hope for it.

We can only do so much for our kids. While we can help them plan and show them the way to be successful, it’s ultimately up to them. After we’ve set the groundwork, we need to step back.

If your son sleeps in and misses his breakfast, he will feel hungry until lunch. If your daughter doesn’t get out of bed and then lacks the time to brush her hair, she will have a tangled mane the entire school day. Maybe, one of her friends will ask her about it, and she’ll probably feel hurt.

We need to let our kids make these mistakes and feel the consequences. That is the only way we stop nagging. By letting them experience the consequences, our kids will be more self-motivated to get out the door in time.

By providing a groundwork of adjusting their bedtime, making kids aware of expectations and giving morning incentives the first week, we are doing our job as parents to make the transition back to school as easy as possible. Now, it’s up to our kids to take it from here with gentle reminders from us.

You can show your kids that you know – and care - that getting back into a routine may not be fun. But also let them know that the schedule change from summer to fall is meant to help them feel good when they are at school. “It comes from a place of love and education about the importance of sleep, and not control,” Spivack says

Easy Summer Combinations - Clothing tips for men

Navy and stripes 

There's a reason sailors get the girls, and while peak physical conditioning doesn't hurt, a big reason is that stylish sailor suits are more attractive than their camo fatigue-wearing counterparts any day of the year. Now you can bring out your inner sailor by combining navy fabrics with stripes for a casual and preppy look that's perfect for almost any social function.

HOW TO WEAR DENIM SHORTS IN THE SUMMER?

Bombers and beanies

When you combine military fashion with college campus wear, the results are far better than when the two factions meet in real life. There's no "protesting" the undeniable low-key fashion statement that occurs when a bomber jacket and a beanie are combined.

Jeans and Blazer

Too many men dress high-low by accident, wearing a pair of knackered trainers with a suit because they couldn’t find their proper shoes. But denim is a power player in the high-low wardrobe when done right; especially when worn with a blazer.

To avoid looking like a man that owns square-toed shoes, opt for slim-cut denim in a mid-to-dark wash with minimal detailing. As for the blazer, an unstructured example will tie the two opposing pieces together, but a more structured jacket can be worn if the gap is bridged with a smart-casual piece, such as an open-necked shirt or polo.

Suits & T-Shirts

Monochrome should be the first step on the collarless road – a grey suit and white T-shirt is a tough thing to mess up – but as your confidence grows, start experimenting with colors and patterns such as a Breton stripe. It’s best to keep the eye-catching stuff to the base layer, like the T-shirt, as there’s less of it on display, and stick to classic crew necks over anything that plunges towards your navel.

For an advanced look, try a longline version for a smarter take on reverse layering, or tuck the sports T shirts into your trousers for a clean finish.

Ideas For You To Enjoy Best On National Dog Day

Often known as man's best friend, dogs were the first animals to be domesticated by humans and they were often used for guarding property, herding stock, and for hunting game. Today, dogs are used as companions and are considered to be a member of the family in many parts of the world.

The unofficial holiday is also sometimes called World Dog Day, National Dog Appreciation Day, or International Dog Day.

National Dog Day is celebrated on August 26th annually and was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige, also the founder of National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Cat Day and many more philanthropic days to bring attention to the plight of animals and encourage adoption. The date of August 26th is significant, as it's the date that Colleen's family adopted her first dog "Sheltie" when Colleen was 10 years old.

20 tips to Survive During The Seasonal Sale

The National Dog Day Foundation supports all breeds and varieties of dogs and discourages purchasing from unethical backyard breeders and puppy mills; instead, support reputable breeders or adopt from rescue homes.

Ways to Celebrate National Dog Day

• To Celebrate The National Dog Day and show your love to the dog, you can wear a cute dog shirt on that day, and make your dog happy with these tips: 

• Adopt a dog from your local shelter or rescue organization. 

Alternatives: Volunteer at your local shelter and offer to walk or play with a dog, clean cages, or anything else they need help with. Donate blankets, food, and toys to animal welfare organizations. 

• Organize a peaceful demonstration in front of your community pet store that sells puppies. 

Alternative: Write your congressman and ask that he/she support the ban of puppy mills and gas chambers in your state. 

• Have a National Dog Day party and invite all your friends and their dogs! 

• Spend the day taking photos of your dog. 

Alternative: Hire a professional pet photographer for a fun photo shoot. Have a portrait painted of your dog to suspend the fleeting magic of dogdom. 

• Assist an ill or elderly neighbor by walking their dog. 

• Buy new gift

Alternative: Buy your dog a fashionable collar and leash. 

• Give your dog some fun exercise by taking him or her to a doggy play resort. 

Alternative: Take your dog to the beach. 

• Teach your dog a new trick. 

Considering Adoption? One of These Dogs Would Love to Come Home with You

If you're thinking about adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue organization as a way to celebrate National Dog Day, I hope you'll keep in mind that certain kinds of pets – through no fault of their own – have a much harder time finding a new home than others.

By far the pets least likely to find new families to love are older pets, followed by animals with medical problems, dogs suffering from breed prejudice (primarily pit bulls), shy pets, and pets that need to be the only animal in the home.

WAY TO WEAR ANIMAL PRINT T-SHIRTS

Large dogs, black dogs, and pets with special needs also tend to languish in shelters much longer and are euthanized more often, than animals considered more desirable by adoptive families.

These tips on how to show our canine friends appreciation are good for any day of the year. Having a pet companion is a great responsibility not just financially, but one that must be taken with lots of love and care. They love us unconditionally, so the least we can do is show them some appreciation.

How to wear denim shorts in the summer?

1. The Fit

All shorts are ultimately meant to be comfortable and casual, providing you with freedom of movement and keeping you cool in the summer. Denim is a little less comfortable than let's say, cotton, but it does provide a stretcher and more fitted, relaxed feel than most other materials. So denim shorts are the right and great choice.

2. The right length

If you're tall, you prefer looking at your height. Or for a petite Tinder date, you'd probably want to appear shorter sometimes. Simple, if you're short, stick to short lengths for an illusion of longer legs. And if you're tall, wear longer shorts (or ones that end above the knee) to justify your height.? Invest in a well-fitted pair, but a tad bit relaxed.

3. Color

It affects the mood and the formality, so the short at the top left-hand corner, those are the most common. Once we start bringing in reds, blues, greens suddenly add to the informality. It becomes more fun and you’re going to stand out a bit more. Sticking with a solid and a traditional style pretty much any man can be able to pull this off.

4. Wear a t-shirt with denim shorts

When choosing a basic t-shirt to wear with your shorts, it’s best to go for something simple, like a basic white t-shirt. Monochrome, pastels, and stripes are also popular summer trends you should consider. Avoid darker colored t-shirts and instead mix it up with a soft colored pastel polo shirt. If you fancy wearing darker colored denim jorts or even black, pair it up with something white on top to achieve that classic monochrome look.

5. What To Avoid
