Fedora Hats

Back in the Good Old Days all men wore hats. It was uncommon not to see men wearing a hat on their head. Whether they were dressed up in a suit or sport jacket or even a dock worker in his blue collar coveralls and cap on his head. All men wore hats. Many in the hat industry say that the person who single-handedly destroyed ubiquitous head wear was JFK. JFK was the first American President to not be seen wearing a hat on his head. He hated them. Their is only rare footage of him wearing one. If anything JFK might be seen carrying one but after a while he even stopped doing that. When hats were on top of nearly everymans head. The hat that was usually on top of the well dressed man’s head was the fedora. The fedora hat was invented in the 1920s. Fedora Hats are also called the Trilby as well. A fedora hat is usually made out of felt and has a crease on top of the crown and has an indentations on the front of crown as well. Back in the old days, Fedora Hats only came in grey,brown, and black. These days they are made in many colors. Some of them bright colors to match your suit. What makes Fedora Hats special is that you can bend the brim ever so slightly to conform to your style. Most popular is bending the front of the brim down. Some people like to bend the brim down and give the hat a slight tilt on the head. However you wear your fedora, the choice is up to you.

Antonio Zengara Shoes

Sometimes a new style approaches that nobody was thinking of. Sometimes a new style approaches that just turns the style world on its head. That new style is Antonio Zengara shoes. Antonio Zengara shoes are some of the most cutting edge shoes you have ever seen. Antonio Zengara shoes are designed in Italy with simply the most outrageous looks. They sort of look like a cross between a pointy cowboy boot type shoe with all kinds of metal cap trim or rivets. Antonio Zengara shoes are really casual shoes for going to the club. They look great with jeans and a blazer or button down shirt with goth style designs on it. I wouldn’t recommend wearing them with a suit, unless it’s a really crazy looking suit. One of the best things about Antonio Zengara shoes is that they are affordable. Who needs to spend over a hundred dollars on shoes when you can get these for about sixty to seventy dollars.

Falcone Suits

Just because you want to look flashy and not spend a fortune doesn’t make you different. Most people who look their best want to be noticed whether you are at a wedding or some other kind of event. That’s why you should take a look at falcone suits. Falcone suits have been around for generations. I remember them when I was a teenager in my fathers store. Falcone suits have always been about affordable quality combined with stop in your tracks style. Falcone suits are not for the faint of heart, the boardroom, or the country club. You wear a Falcone suit when you want to show off. When you walk into a room with a bunch of other people all dressed up and want to noticed, Do it in a falcone suit. Falcone suits are always a great buy because they fit well like any suit costing hundreds more and they use great quality fabrics which drape well. I’ve seen many $500 suits from other labels that pucker at the shoulders, pull across the back and just don’t look good. Not a good deal is it? Not with falcone suits.

Satin Dress Shirts

Satin dress shirts are still extremely popular with anyone needing to look their best for entertainers, proms, wedding parties and homecomings. We are able to fill just about any size order you need for satin dress shirts. We carry satin dress shirts now in over a dozen different colors including big and tall sizes as well.  We just started carrying big and tall satin dress shirts a couple of months ago because we were getting some requests for them. Satin dress shirts really look great with a tuxedo compared to a wing tip shirt and bow tie. Men these days are matching their satin dress shirts to their dates dress which nine times out of ten is usually made of satin. Matching couples usually make for nice memorable photos.

Pimp Hats

Yes, I said it. Pimp Hats. So called hats that pimps wear. There are all kinds of hats that pimps wear. They just don’t wear one type but many types. Anything that is totally outlandish is usually what they will go for.  Besides, how many real dyed in the wool Pimps have you seen with your own eyes doing his thing. Not many, I bet. Only one time did I ever see real pimps with their so called investments working the streets when I was in New York about 20 years ago. My friends and I actually stumbled onto a street where they all were. It was like a scene in a movie. They all had their crazy looking Lincolns and Cadillacs, their rediculous attire and their ladies. I swear, the stuff real pimps wear is custom made for outlandishness.  These days everybody refers to dressing flashy as getting pimped out, or looking like a pimp or dressing pimp. I guess in some twisted way, being a pimp has become cool. It’s all cool until you go to jail though. Now these days you rarely see Pimps dressed in the manner that they once did only because the smarter ones have learned that it brings too much Police attention to you. You can’t be a pimp and do your business if you are always getting locked up. These days pimps are dressing in much more scaled down manner. The Pimp Hats they wear are usually Godfather Hats and Crazy looking outfits they wear now are zoot suits. They can still Pimp their style just by the way they put it all together and carry themselves but it is a far cry from Don the Magic Juan.

Pimp Costumes

With Halloween coming up fast, it’s getting time to start thinking about Halloween Parties. Halloween Parties are the fun dress up time for adults, not the trick or treat children parties to keep kids off the street. Nothing makes a Halloween Party more fun than when everybody comes dressed up in some sort of costume. The ladies always like to dress up in something cute or sexy and the men usually like to dress up as something macho. A Pimp Costume is the costume to fit the bill for Halloween. All you need for a Pimp Costume is a nice flashy Zoot Suit of an outlandish design, a pair of wild looking dress shoes in a bright matching color as the zoot suit, and a godfather hat or fedora that matches the whole ensemble. That’s where Contemposuits.com comes in. We specialize in Zoot Suits. We Carry some of the most outrageous mens shoes and french cuff dress shirts you have ever seen.

Hotel and Casino Uniforms

Who hasn’t been to a Hotel or Casino lately? They are everywhere and seem to springing up in more places everyday. The one thing that Hotels and Casinos have in common is that they need a lot of employees to work there to make the guests as comfortable as possible. All these Hotel and Casino Employees need to wear uniforms so the guests know that they work there. Many of the Hotel and Casinos I have seen have the Employees wearing  Satin Dress shirts and even Satin Vests in the entertainment areas and Casinos. Usually the Hotel and Casino employees will wear the same color satin dress shirt or they may wear a different color  satin dress shirt depending on their  Job  description.  You may walk a Casino  floor  anywhere and see the Dealers wearing  one color and perhaps the Bartenders wearing another color  satin dress shirt. It all depends on the policy and decor of that particular Casino. The great thing about Contemposuits.com is that we carry an enormous selection of satin dress shirts in all sizes and colors to provide your Hotel or Casino with Satin shirts for your entertainment employees. Our Satin shirts all come with the matching tie and pocket squares for one low price with fantastic quality that will last and last.

Mens Linen Short Sets

In the summer months when you want to look your best and be as comfortable with the summer heat, you need to wear the right thing if you are a man of style. The old beat up tank top and cut off shorts just doesn’t do it in any circumstance unless you end up being on an episode of “COPS” during a domestic call. Nope. What you need to wear in order to look your very best is a Linen Short Set. Mens Linen Short Sets are truly a classy style of dressing on the weekends during the summer months and while on vacation as well. Mens Short Outfits work by the simple nature that they match. Another great thing about Men’s Short Sets is that they are very affordable. Naturally, Mens Short Sets come in all kinds of fabrics from Linen to Cotton to Soft Poly. Fashionable Mens Short Sets are almost always a button down short sleeve shirt and a knee length pair of shorts. If the shorts don’t cover your knees than they are out of style and you will look silly wearing them.  You can look your best with a nice short set and didn’t even have to spend much money to do so. How many other ways can you do that? When you wear your short set it’s also important to wear the right footwear. There really isn’t any point of dressing properly and then slapping on some sneakers with it. Save the sneakers for something else. What you really want to wear with your linen short set is a nice pair of Mens Dress Sandals. Try to go with ones that are classy looking, not the sport kind like Teva. You want to wear sandals that will compliment the Short Set you are wearing.
