5 Manly Must-Haves for Your Home Office
When it comes to interior design, males care more about the high tech, the gadgets, and the comfort than they do about the color of window treatments or the shade of carpet that’s on the floor.
When you have a home office, you don’t have to focus on the boring interior design elements. Instead, you need to focus on what makes your office unique, exciting, and most of all, yours. Check out some of the manly must-haves for your home office.
- Fusion Table
Relieving stress is very important when you’re working hard. A Fusion Table can be just the thing you need to create that work-life balance that’s so important. These tables act like a conference table for those important business meetings, but then they come with a surprise, such as a pool table. Once you’re done with that meeting, you can simply switch the table over and get your game on. This will help you relieve some of the stress of your work day while also helping you use your brain in another creative way. Plus, even if you’re not working and the table spends most of it time allowing you to play billiards, well that’s just fine too.
- Retro Dry Erase Board
White boards are a great way to generate ideas and get the creative juices flowing, or they’re simply a nice location for you to write down important information. However, a plain, generic white square white board just won’t cut it when it comes to your home office. Instead, you need to invest in a dry erase board that’s more exciting and unique, such as the Retro Dry Erase Board. This little office nugget looks just like an old cassette tape. Obviously, if you were born after 1995, chances are you have no idea what it is, but for all the older working people out there, this will bring back some fun childhood memories that will add some fun and flair to your office.
- Baseball Office Chair
Sitting in an office all day can be tedious, but when you get comfort and add it with something you love, you’ll have a chair you don’t want to leave. The Baseball Office Chair is a great addition to any manly office. Its leather material is comfortable and will allow you to work all day without any body pain. Plus, the baseball glove style will make it an accent piece and conversation starter for your office. The worn leather look will also match any type of décor in your current office, so there’s no need to redecorate just to make it work. If you are a sports fan, and if you want a chair to truly stand out, then this is a must-buy for you.
- Laser Keyboards
If you truly want your office to stand out, then you need to bring some digital fun into the mix. Your office needs a computer, which means it also needs a keyboard. But a boring old keyboard isn’t enough for your cool office. Instead, you should invest in a Laser Keyboard. These are so much more fun to use than a keyboard, and they’re so much quieter too. This will truly stand out in your office. If you bring clients there, they’ll be impressed by the gadget and the high-tech. If it’s just you in the office, you’ll have fun playing with it.
- Holographic Desk
There are so many cool office gadgets in the world today, and there’s one that’s on the verge of becoming a reality. The Holographic Desk is currently in the works of being created, and it’s something that you will need to get your hands on when it is here. Just think of how cool you’ll look while working on a holographic desk instead of a traditional one. You’ll certainly have an office that’s envied.

Men’s Secret To Power Dressing
There was a time when the term ‘power dressing’ was used to refer to the use of expensive, fine quality clothes with hard and sharp lines to make men look angular and assertive. But things have changed at least 180 degrees since then. It is no more about the cost of the suit; it’s about the cut, the tailoring of the suit that makes a better impression.
When it comes to power dressing, the confusion is shared by both young and mature people. The situation becomes even more acute in the corporate world where it is an indication of your professionalism. Power dressing along with office etiquette plays a great role in your professional success, often acting as currency to barter goodwill.
So forget the baggy, boxy, ill-fitting suits of yesterday and say ‘hello’ to slimmer cuts, lighter fabrics and straighter lines, after all we are talking about power dressing.
Here’s what you need to know to look like a CEO.
Dress for The Job
Today we live in an era where your clothes speak volume about you. The old proverb, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” has become a rule in the corporate world and you will do well by sticking to it. Power dressing is all about projecting the right image. So if you want a million bucks, look like one.
Remember that conservative careers need a conservative dress. And unless you want to look as radical, always dress according to your work. It is true that the corporate dress code has become a lot relaxed over the past few years, but power dressing still remains in effect. Although most organizations relaxed their dress codes during the dot-com boom to attract the younger generation, the current trend is back to suits and organizations are now asking young employees to dress more conservatively.
With the vast array of shapes, shades and textures of suits available today, it is quite natural to get confused. The Golden Rule to follow here is: Wear a suit that perfectly fits your body type and personality.
Weight does Matter
As mentioned, the days of bulky, heavy suits are gone for good. The weight of your suit fabric has certainly dropped these days. Manufacturers are now using lighter wool for both winter and summer suits.
The fabric is made from a finer and smaller yarn and there is certain elegance to it. The suits no more hang stiffly on you; rather they drape perfectly to enhance your body shape. The appearance and texture of the modern suits are also different. The surface of the texture looks and feels so conspicuously lighter that you can comfortably wear them during the warm summer months.
The goal is to wear climate-friendly clothes. While a navy pinstripe suit is the ultimate power dressing item, you can wear lighter colors during summer and still project power. If you live in a tropical climate, you can wear any color you want as long as you stick to lighter fabrics and compliment your look with custom made shirts. That reminds us, short-sleeve dress shirts are long dead so don’t bother to wear one at work.
Style Steal: Instead of a navy pinstripe, wear a two-button charcoal gray pinstripe suit with single-pleat pants looks classic yet contemporary as office wear.
Focus on The Color Wheel
Navy, charcoal, and black probably defines the larger part of the color wheel for power dressing. However, there is enough room for experiment and add a dash of color if you are bold enough. Besides, if you can manage to pull off different colors seamlessly, it can certainly add personality and charm to your look.
Depending on your contrast, you need to find the perfect suit-and-shirt combination. For example, high contrast (whose hair color greatly contrasts their skin color) men should opt for a dark suit like black or blue coupled with a white dress shirt or a blue dress shirt with a charcoal gray suit. Similarly, if you have light hair and light skin combination, an earth-toned or dark blue dress shirt combined with a dark suit works best.
If you are up to it, you can even wear an olive green suit or a suit with white piping and purple lining to work and still look put-together.
Be Bold with Ties
Your power dressing is incomplete without a tie. When it comes to your tie selection process, the first rule to follow is to match your tie with your shirt even before you decide on the suit. Your wardrobe must include some striped and solid colors ties that are stylish yet conservative. Remember funkier patterns and designer ties may make your look more aggressive at work.
In fact, be very careful with your accessories. Keep it minimal with an elegant pair of cufflinks, a quality watch, a pocket square, leather belts and a pair of quality leader dress shoes.
Get The Right Fit
A suit that fits you perfectly not only looks great but also connotes confidence and authority. Here’s the formula for a perfect fit suit –
Though the jacket should not crowd the shoulders, it must be smooth against your stomach when buttoned. Likewise, the pants must drape in such a way that a clean line is created from the top to bottom of your suit.
A bespoke suit is your best option when it comes to right fit. These suits are made to your particular body shape and size and reflect your personality if made correctly. Many men buy off-the-rack designs and then get them tailored for the right fit. Though it is the great idea if you lack the time or money required for a truly bespoke suit, these off-the-rack items cannot meet the perfection offered by custom-made suits.
Conclusion
Power dressing is not just for your boardroom or trading floor to impress your clients and boss. It can probably help you impress anyone you have your eyes on. But clothes alone won’t take you far. You also need to wear the right attitude; to look like a million bucks you need to act like it too. The right clothes, however will make you feel a lot more confident, which means winning half the battle.
