Why men wear hats?!?

It wasn't long ago that hats were part of every self-respecting man's daily attire.

Up until the 1960s, most men would have no more left the house without a hat than they would without trousers. Bankers and stockbrokers made the commute into the city wearing bowler hats, gentlemen took to the streets in straw boaters and manual workers passed through the factory gates wearing cloth caps.

Then came the rise of cars. Before cars became common hats were useful items of clothing to keep the weather off?!?

Generally if you look at the history of menswear, in the last 100 years it's been a gradual progression from formal to casual wear. The jacket has gone from a military frock coat to the jacket of a lounge suit, the shirt has gone from something with stiff studded collars to a fold down collar, and the formal, handmade shoe has been replaced, in some cases, with trainers.

Nowadays the expectation we have is that the things we wear will be comfortable?!? And the formal hat fell victim to that general trend.

A lot of younger, casually dressed men are seeking ways to show their individuality. If you are one of these lads, www.Lapelclothing.co.uk has different brands with the like of Lacoste, Paul Smith and Henri Lloyd for you to pick and choose from?!?

If your feet hurt, something is wrong?!?

Nearly four in 10 women buy shoes knowing they do not fit. The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists found 37% would wear uncomfortable shoes as long as they were fashionable. And 17% of men admit buying shoes in the wrong size. Although 80% of the women said they suffered foot problems, only four in ten of the men and women sought help?!?

Many of us find it hard to resist a bargain and the latest fashion must-have, but it's important to remember that by buying cheap, ill-fitting shoes, you're not only going to end up in discomfort, but you are also putting your health at risk.

Most people in the UK suffer from a foot problem at some point in their lives, and while many are fairly minor, some can be extremely painful and disabling.

It is important to wear shoes in the correct size that are appropriate for the activity you need them for.

Lapelclothing.com offers men a wide range of proper footwear and trainers. Men prefer Lapel’s footwear not only because they're fashionable, but because they look good, and because they're comfortable?!? At Lapel we know that uncomfortable shoes do not look good, whether they're fashionable or not. Hurty toes and an inability to walk properly are not a good look in the slightest.

Fear no more Lads, Lapel is here and they stock good quality, stylish footwear which won't wreck your feet?!?
