Dizzo’s Fashion Tip 2013 -HOW TO CHOOSE CLASSIC WHITE SHIRT

A well-tailored white shirt can enhance your wardrobe more than you know. There are more ways to wear a white shirt than a tuxedo and suit. Wear it with jeans and cardigan or plaid jacket, wear it with shorts and vests. Think of its white crisp fabric as a black canvas which you can splash with color or your jacket or pants.
What can be more classic than a white shirt? It a classic of classics. Wear a white shirt with a contrasting black or blue tie but when the working day is over get rid of it, unbutton the collar and make it boldly stick out your biker leather jacket. Wear it with a bright cardigan or roll up the sleeves and slip into a pair of shorts for a casual night out. There are many ways of sporting a classic white shirt, just keep it crisp and clean at all times and tweak your outfits to make it look different each time. There are also couple of tips and rules for choosing a white shirt:

Whether you are choosing a white shirt to wear with a suit or jeans and jacket the fit should be perfect. If it’s super slim design it still should be quite comfortable in motion.
The shirt worn with a tuxedo and the one worn on a daily basis will definitely differ in style, design, even fabrics so keep those things in mind when you are shopping for a perfect white shirt.

Collar:

Point collar is worn with a small knot tie and its points look down. A spread collar is worn with necktie, the spread points leave more space in between.
Button down collar has the buttons on its points that button up the collar to the shirt. Button collar is considered to be casual.
Winged tip collar has its tips folded like wings, winged tip collar shirts are usually worn with tuxedos. If you have a long neck you can opt for a shirt with a tab collar, which is higher than other ones and has a smaller spread.

Club collars have smaller rounded tips than the other collars. If you want to add a bit flare to your shirt accessorize collar with a pin that fastens the two points together.

Daily African Proverb

"A log in the river will never be a crocodile." Kikuyu (Kenya) Proverb

Meaning
This Kikuyu Proverb was heard near Mount Kenya in Nyeri in 1989 during preparations for a marriage. A man from Meru wanted to marry a Kikuyu woman from Nyeri. He had a criminal background and came from a hot-tempered family. The Kikuyu elders did not want to tell the woman directly not to marry him because he had a bad character that probably could not change, but wanted to warn her indirectly. So they used this Kikuyu proverb. The message to the woman is this: “It is your choice, your responsibility. But don’t say that the Kikuyu elders gave you permission to marry this man. Don’t say the elders gave you the go ahead.”
