pH Scale Clothing Company
Justin Palmer and Violetta Holl, grew tired of seeing the same clothes everywhere. There was no creativity and no originality. Therefore they decided to do something about it. This is when the pH Scale Clothing Company was born. The clothing was inspired by the diverse cultures that influence their lives in Toronto, and the need to make a statement that will catch every eye. It does not discriminate whether ones style leans towards prep, high fashion, rock or hip hop culture, everyone is welcome. The drive behind pH scale is to be an individual and not to be placed within a designated genre. pH Scale Clothing is about change, never standing still.
The company is still young and still getting on it's feet, and while their first designs are still in the making these two students are trying their best to make this work. From what I have seen and from knowing the both of them, there is no limit to what they can accomplish especially in fashion.
I have had a chance to see some of their first designs for the upcoming spring season and was very impressed. They know what they are doing and are trying their best to find out what people really want. This puts pH Scale on the top of my up and coming list.
A website is still under construction so for now you can check out the facebook group here.
8 Men's Fashion Mistakes
Men's fashion mistakes - We all make fashion errors now and again, but some fashion mistakes made by men are just unforgivable. I have outlined eight fashion mistakes to avoid at all costs.
Socks with Sandals
Well if your thinking that it's way too cold for your prescious feet to be naked outdoors but you still want to wear your sandals. Don't do it! It's
really bad, so if your thinking about it, just move somewhere warm so you won't have to do this. Please and thank you.
Novelty Ties, Shirts, Boxer Shorts, Etc.
There is nothing lasting about novelty clothing nor does it project a stylish, put together image. Leave the smiley faces, hearts, reindeer, shamrocks, animal and various other prints on the racks of the store where you found them.
Blaring Designer Labels
Does anyone really like looking like a walking advertisement?
Backpacks at the Office
In school yes backpacks are ok, but there is way too many businessman walking around in suits with a schoolboy backpack. There are definitely better alternatives.
Chunky Shoes
The 90's are long gone. No more square toed shoes please! Choose something classic that will stand the test of time.
Shiny or Glittery Shirts and Suits
If you are looking for something to go out nightclubbing in, I can think of much better choices than those that are glittery, shiny and ultimately tacky. If you are at a loss, try a form fitting black t-shirt or black dress shirt which can be worn with jeans or trousers and dress shoes or casual shoes.
Clothes That Are Too Loose Fitting
In a word, sloppy. Unless you are a hip hop artist, it’s not the right look. Choose clothes that fit your body. This might take some experimentation by mixing and matching certain cuts and styles until you find the right fit for your body that is flattering.
Unflattering Colors
That beautiful blue cashmere sweater you found on sale after Christmas might be really tempting, but if it makes you look ill it’s no bargain. The colors you wear should compliment your natural features such as your eye color, skin tone and body shape. Keep this in mind when putting your look together.
