Big wash: how often should you wash your clothes

It is known that fashion is fickle; it changes every year, and sometimes more often. But some things are relevant even decades later. Today it is trendy to form several wardrobes for a man at once: bare and capsule. And if the first name is known to many representatives of the more vigorous sex, the second one will seem only remotely familiar because it came into use not so long ago. Next, we will take a closer look at the types of wardrobes for men, learn the basic rules for choosing things and the subtleties of their combination, and also consider common mistakes and good examples.

Types of wardrobe

To understand once and for all the differences between the types of wardrobes, it is worth considering them separately.

Basic wardrobe

This is usually a set of things for everyday life that can come in handy anytime and anywhere. They are versatile and comfortable. With their help, you can create simple and uncomplicated bows that are perfect for work and for going out with friends to the movies. However, every man has an essential wardrobe, even if he does not call it that. These are concise and comfortable things familiar to everyone.

The essential wardrobe has no boundaries; it can be endless, depending on how much a man loves new things and follows fashion trends.

Capsule clothing set

The word "capsule" is relatively new, trendy, and often used by fashion designers. It means something innovative, modern, and somewhat complex. A capsule wardrobe can be:

• minimal - is one essential capsule that reflects the main activity of a man;
• optimal - additional mini-sets according to situations are added to the minimum set;
• maximum - such a wardrobe will surely suit men for all occasions because it will have everything; it can be considered universal.

The capsule includes those things that can be easily combined with basic things.

Capsule sets can be very different: for business trips and vacations. Also relevant are seasonal capsules for one or another time of the year. Many brands produce winter and summer capsules.

The main rule is a minimum of things but a maximum of excellent combinations between them.

What should be included?

It would seem that it would not be difficult to assemble a men's wardrobe, but there are some nuances here. Consider what should be in the essential and capsule wardrobe and how to compose them properly. To get a great wardrobe, you must decide in advance what situations a man will be in for a certain period.

To surely understand the essence of a capsule set with basic things in it, suppose a situation where a man goes on an important trip for several days; he takes with him: a suit, a white shirt, and comfortable things for the trip (for example, a tracksuit), as well as stuff for going to a recreational facility. As a result, it turns out that it is the capsule set with a minimum but necessary set of positions that will be folded into the suitcase.

Make a set of things.

The number of things will depend on how much this or that sphere of life will take time. If a man is an athlete who rarely goes out to restaurants and dates, then we can safely say that his capsule sportswear will prevail over formal suits and tuxedos.

The capsule must contain basic things that can best be combined with the so-called accents. It is essential to understand that there are always more critical things in a tablet because combining them is much easier than diluting them with the help of some eye-catching stuff. For example, essential men's pants can be successfully diversified with an original tiger print shirt.

It is permissible to cross things in the intended bows. The same sweater or jumper is appropriate for wearing to work and for lunch with friends.

Consider the best example of a versatile wardrobe, things that can be perfectly combined:

• dark and light jeans;
• comfortable men's jumper;
• several plain t-shirts;
• dark and light shirts, as well as a checkered model;
• classic dark suit
• cardigan, sweatshirt.

As for the choice of shoes can be classic shoes for a suit and boots for everyday wear. The set, of course, changes depending on the season. Warm clothes are added to it: jackets, coats and various accessories.

Basic rules for choosing things

Realizing that the modern wardrobe of a busy man is a capsule in combination with basic things, let's consider the basic rules for their selection for a long time.

All things in the finished capsule should be perfectly combined. This is especially true of style and color schemes.

The styles and cut of things should be chosen based on the characteristics of your figure, and also, of course, taking into account personal preferences.

When choosing a color palette and prints for various things, we recommend considering color schemes, where you can select items for everyday life and going out.

It is optimal to have more shirts in the capsule wardrobe than pants. It is believed that interlocutors often notice that a person is on top and not below.

It is advantageous for the capsule to select diverse elements, for example, shirts with different sleeves and collars with original buttons. With the help of various things, the likelihood of creating unique and dissimilar images will increase.

To create a fashionable set of clothes, buying things from only one or several brands is unnecessary. Many luxury shirts look great with mass-market pants. The main thing is that the resulting set is comfortable. That is why we recommend not ordering any clothing items online but trying them on if possible.

How to combine?

The right and skillful combination of things begin with the correct selection and purchase. Today, most often, the man immediately has the whole capsule wardrobe, in which there are all the basic things. Consider fantastic ideas for combining things.

To correctly compose the capsule, we recommend trying on things from the essential wardrobe immediately with accent ones and see if the resulting image looks good or if something should be replaced.

For a dark suit for work, you should immediately pick up at least three ties that can be changed during the week. The same applies to shirts; they should be from 3 to 6. You will get great new looks for work if you skillfully change shirts and ties for the same suit during the week.

Gray, beige, and any dark trousers can be successfully combined with shirts or blazers in the wardrobe. If you need to create an image for going out with friends, the pants can be worn under a trendy T-shirt or sweater.

Do not be afraid to expand the base of your style by adding new and original things to your wardrobe. So, a plaid suit can be combined with many shirts; it can be a great alternative to black classics.

As for outerwear, a light windbreaker should be present in the capsule for summer, a leather jacket in your favorite color for autumn, and a comfortable down jacket or insulated jacket for winter. Outerwear most often goes well with the essential wardrobe.

Common Mistakes

You should be aware of some typical mistakes in creating a wardrobe before compiling it.

Regardless of what wardrobe is created, it would help if you did not buy uncomfortable things and those that do not fit with anything in it. Most likely, they will gather dust in the closet.

Overly fashionable and provocative clothing attributes should be avoided. They are tough to combine with other things in the wardrobe.

A man's wardrobe at 35 should not be the same as at 25, although some things may be similar. Sometimes wearing a bomber jacket for 40-year-old men under bright ripped jeans is inappropriate. Do not forget about the sense of style, creating concise images.

Generally, typical mistakes can be easily avoided by all the recommendations.

Good Examples

Checked or men especsignificantlyn wear striped shirts under jeans or trousers, and it is worth saying that such bows look very good. Under an orange or red checkered shirt, you should choose light-colored jeans, for example, blue ones.

Shoes are an essential part of a man's wardrobe. The most winning options are those that are selected, taking into account seasonality. In winter, high boots or low shoes with fur on thickened soles look best on men. Classic black shoes are an excellent solution for a strict classic suit.

Any light footwear will be suitable for warm summer days.

Under a classic black suit, white shirts are not always worn; instead, they wear blue and even dark ones. To bring something new to the dull total black look, we recommend paying attention to the colored shiny satin ties; they look especially good with formal suits.

As for the accents in the men's wardrobe, in addition to capsule items, they are placed with the help of accessories. In autumn, it can be eye-catching leather gloves; in summer - large watches, and under a variety of costumes - original branded belts with unusual buckles.

Consider a successful example of a capsule:

• gray suit;
• beige and black pants;
• white shirt and long sleeve plaid shirt;
• sneakers and shoes;
• dark T-shirt with short sleeves;
• tie.

And another brighter option for men who are always on the move:

• white and red t-shirts;
• burgundy plaid shirt with short sleeves;
• blue jacket;
• light jeans;
• knitted sweater or jumper;
• light classic pants;
• several pairs of shoes of different colors.

It is very unpleasant to look at dirty things, but sometimes your hands simply do not reach the point of cutting off a gas stove, the handles of which have long been covered with an annual layer of grease, or still take and clean a copper pan, which is already painful to look at. But the people from our article still took the time and cleared everything that had to be cleared for a long time, and now things are simply unrecognizable!

A delight for the eyes

Bruce Lee, the founder of the philosophy of hybrid martial arts, actor, director, philosopher, and one of the icons of the 20th century, was and remained a man of legend. Thanks to his skill, he helped bring East and West closer together, diluting the Hollywood film industry with the flair of Hong Kong martial arts films.

 

Lee's life was embarrassingly short - he died in 1973 at 32. But this talented person left behind a bright mark. Indeed, besides being a martial arts professional and a charismatic actor, he was also a deep thinker. As a martial artist, Bruce Lee spread his philosophy to his students, including director Roman Polanski, his wife Sharon Tate, and even Chuck Norris! Impressed?

Parrots, along with dogs, cats, hamsters, and other animals, can be excellent home companions. Not only are they wonderful, but they are also intelligent, playful, mischievous, and simply adorable. They are even sometimes compared to babies. They cannot concentrate on something for a long time, but they have more than enough energy. And even actors, including dramatic ones, can envy their ability to convey mood.

 

Evidence that you definitely won’t get bored with parrots

 

These are such cute pets that will not be left without likes if you publish their photos on the Web. We at Bemorepanada decided to show you these cute birds to see how funny they can be.

 

1. My friend's parrot cuddled up to her owl toy.

 

2. I was minding my own business when I suddenly turned into a bird's nest.

 

3. Eskimo

 

4. What the peasants, then the monkey

8. A dog, 8 birds and a hamster are the most unusual best friends in the world.

 

9. A parrot fell asleep next to a brood of three puppies.

 

Parrots may be too accessible to us because we are interested in their varieties or in certain facts that arouse curiosity. In addition, most likely, the Perusi parrots are too popular here in Romania, those little ones kept in cages, which makes the others non-existent, but we will start the list of information about this charming bird exactly with reference to its species:

 

Parrots are in a very large number of species and more precisely we have over 350 species in this category of birds. They are part of the scientific order called Psittaciformes and they usually have two subgroups: Psittacidae and Cacatuidae.

 

The most famous parrot named Puck has a very beautiful, elevated and developed vocabulary, more precisely he knows over 1700 words in total.

 

Parrots as a species are among the first birds in the world that are threatened in terms of the extinction process.

Another famous parrot is N'kisi, who has learned almost 1000 words in English.

 

The oldest fossils of parrots were discovered on the territory of the European continent, even if most of us tend to think that parrots are from the African continent. European fossils were discovered more than 50 million years ago.

 

The human voice is very easy to imitate for experts from the Hill Mynahs breed, these parrots being famous for their ability to imitate both thin and thick voices, being able to approach various tonalities, in an impressive style.

 

Regardless of which one it is, the parrot in general is one of the smartest birds on the planet and it is not surprising considering that they retain a lot of words and commands.

 

Even if some parrots have an extremely short life span, some can live up to a century, and we have Macaw parrots as an example of this.

 

The Dominican Republic has in the center of its coat of arms a parrot that is part of the Amazona Imperialis group.

There is a story about a rather old Macaw parrot, which is said to have belonged to Churchill, who taught her to insult those in the Nazi regime. The current owner, Peter Oram, seems to have made the story public, although we cannot put our foundations around this little story.

 

Another more or less historical fact is the one according to which, in the past, parrots drank a lot of coffee, almost replacing water, because traders wanted these birds to be resistant. But some studies show that caffeine is even very toxic for the little winged creatures.

Mankind is developing exponentially, and time, as well as the ever-increasing number of people, gives us a chance for development, accumulation of experience, and evolutionary development.

 

However, not all people in history leave behind the eternal, the good; some do not want a bright future at all, and on the contrary, they drag many generations back.

 

People who have not changed the world in the best way

 

Perhaps all of us living on planet Earth could be much more advanced if it weren’t for these 20 guys who didn’t change the world in the best way or at least influenced the world. Here are a few famous names that slowed down our common evolution.

 

1. Thomas Midgley Jr.

 

American chemist and mechanical engineer who invented tetraethyl lead to be added to gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons for use in refrigerators and deodorants. Author of over 100 patents.

 

The production of Midgley's inventions had a devastating effect on the ozone layer. According to historian John McNeill, the inventor "had the greatest impact on the atmosphere than any other living organism in the history of the Earth."

 

2. Robert Maxwell - the creator of the meme "British scientists"

 

This man commercialized research articles in British journals. Before him, articles were published in free scientific journals and were available to schools and universities. Robert Maxwell also proposed the practice of paid subscription, and for each individual article. As a result, many educational institutions could not afford expensive information, and the level of education in foggy Albion decreased.

 

But Maxwell got even richer. However, he was already a media mogul and a lord.

 

3. Guy de Chauliac

 

An outstanding French surgeon of the 14th century, who, despite his many merits and in fact the official title of "father of surgery" among modern surgeons, has one unpleasant incident that pushed the development of antiseptics back centuries.

 

He was the most famous surgeon of the 1300s and part-time a fierce opponent of the work of another surgeon, Theodoric Borgognoni. Theodoric was a surgeon who wrote about his theories of proper wound care and believed that the best thing to do with a wound was to keep it clean.

 

Guy de Chauliac literally hated what Theodoric wrote, because it directly contradicted the teachings of Galen, the ancient Roman surgeon, who believed that pus is the body's desire for self-healing.

 

The teachings of the medieval Aesculapius were widely accepted, and it is believed that his delusion set back the development of antiseptics in surgery by about 600 years.

 

4. The Mongols, the army of the Mongol ruler and commander Hulagu

 

When they destroyed the libraries in Baghdad that contained much of the past knowledge that set humanity back hundreds of years.

 

5. Tiberius Caesar, who ordered the execution of the inventor of flexible (vitrum flexile) glass

 

As a result, the secret of flexible (non-breakable) glass was lost forever. And the story was like this.

 

The glazier, whose name has not been preserved by history, came to the reception of Emperor Julius Caesar. The craftsman presented a unique bowl - seemingly made of glass, but which, as he claimed, could not be broken.

 

The emperor tried to do this, but to no avail. Instead of being shattered, the bowl only dented as if it were made of bronze, and the glazier simply took out a hammer and straightened the dent.

 

Then Tiberius asked if anyone else knew how to produce this type of glass, the inventor replied that he was the only one in the whole world. It was a sentence - by order of Caesar, the inventor was executed.

 

Why did the emperor act so cruelly and unjustly? He was simply afraid that such an amazing material could devalue gold and silver in the future.

 

6. Andrew Wakefield

 

Our contemporary, a former British doctor who made a name for himself after a rigged 1998 study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism, and for his subsequent anti-vaccine activity.

 

To a certain extent, his “work” is directly responsible for what happened around the world with the advent of COVID-19 – distrust of vaccines, a decrease in vaccination rates (especially in the West). Opponents believe that he is directly responsible for thousands, tens of thousands of deaths.

 

Wakefield is believed to have intentionally rigged the results to fit his hypothesis. What for? For money! To sell "safe" vaccines and diagnostic kits.

 

7. Sultan Selim the Terrible

 

It was believed, for example, that the Holy Quran could only be copied by hand. Printing was declared blasphemy, and in 1517, during the era of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Selim the Terrible, on pain of death, banned printing presses in the territory of the empire. The ban lasted 300 years.

 

The development of printing in the East stopped, but at the same time, the development of calligraphy was at a great height in the Islamic world!

 

8. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty in China ordered the burning of Zheng He's fleet

 

The largest trading and exploratory fleet of the time during his reign in the early 1400s fell under the onslaught of flames. This was the beginning of an era of isolation of Chinese imperial lands that would eventually lead to the collapse of imperial China.

 

In addition, the wealth of the world as a whole has decreased as a result of reduced trade with China, and if China had continued exploration, it is possible that they, and not the Europeans, would have colonized North America (instead of discovering it and then simply not telling anyone about this)…

 

9. Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji

 

In the 12th century, India had the largest university in the world called Nalanda, where intellectuals from all over the world studied. Then the Turks invaded India. They destroyed almost all the intelligentsia and destroyed the university. They burned the library. According to witnesses, the library continued to burn for 3 MONTHS. This must be the biggest loss for humanity.

 

10. Sir Mark Sykes

 

During the First World War, he was considered the greatest British specialist in the Middle East. Known for the fact that, together with the French diplomat Francois Picot, he signed the Sykes-Picot Agreement, according to which the eastern territories of the Ottoman Empire were divided mainly into British and French spheres of influence.

 

The problem is that the division of borders has passed along religious and tribal unions and formations. Differing cultures, languages, everything mixed up then, inevitably pushing nations into disputes and wars, the echoes of which we still hear.

 

Imagine the progress, level of education and cooperation that could become a reality if the Middle East were allowed to flourish unhindered, without divisions, naturally?

 

11. Edward Bernays

 

He created modern PR, which determined how to control the masses through deceit.

 

He made a significant contribution to the creation of the modern science of mass persuasion, based not on reason, but on the manipulation of subconscious feelings and impulses.

 

Bernays combined the ideas on crowd psychology of Gustave Le Bon and Wilfred Trotter with the psychoanalytic ideas of his uncle Sigmund Freud.

 

12. Cyril of Alexandria

 

He organized bands of assassins who went around Alexandria and killed everyone who was not a convinced Christian. This included almost all the great minds of that era. Among them, in particular, was Hypatia of Alexandria, one of the greatest minds in history.

 

13. The one who gave the order to burn the Library of Alexandria

 

14. Exxon scientists (one of the largest oil companies in the world) who first learned about man-made climate change in the late 70s and decided to hide this fact

 

15. The top should be Diego de Landa, who burned all the books of the Maya in the name of Christianity on July 12, 1561

 

16. Ea-Nasir, copper merchant

 

Our first written texts could have been amazing stories about what life was like at that time. Instead, the records contain people's complaints from the Bronze Age.

 

17. Queen Victoria is responsible for the deaths of about 60 million people in Brazil, China, India and Ireland

In all these cases, the British crown was involved in the removal of goods from starving areas and led campaigns to spread and aggravate poverty.

 

18. The one who took possession of all the chests and papers of Nikola Tesla after his death

 

19. In terms of sheer devastation, perhaps Genghis Khan… is estimated to have killed about 11% of the world's population in a very short period of time.

It's like killing 800 million people in modern times!

 

20. Charles Babbage - English mathematician, inventor of the first analytical computer

 

It is unlikely that he did this maliciously, but experts say he was the initiator of hindering the progress of computers for almost 100 years.

 

In the 1800s (Industrial Revolution), Babbage developed a working prototype of the computer, the Universal Digital Computing Machine. He had interested buyers, but no entrepreneurial spirit.

 

And what did he end up doing with all this? Nothing! The end product was not produced or sold, and the first prototypes of computers did not appear until the second half of the 1900s. Imagine what would be around us today if we were developing computers for another 100 years?
