14 DAILY HERITAGE MONDAY, JULY <strong>30</strong>, 2018 WWW.DAILYHERITAGE.COM.GH Common fashion blunders men make UNLIKE THE universally loathed sockwith-sandals, formal and semi-formal style mistakes are often a bit less obvious, especially if you’re a novice. In this article, we have compiled our top 10 worst style mistakes to help you up dress better, look smarter and feel like a million bucks. Do not think you’re making any mistakes? Read on to find out. 1. White athletic socks We have this reoccurring nightmare where we open our sock drawer and find nothing but an endless supply of old gym socks. Why do we hate them? They look cheap, get dingy easily, and let’s face it — you really should not be wearing exercise apparel with a suit. Here’s the bottom line: If you aren’t breaking a sweat, don’t break out the white athletic socks.Pick up some classic black or brown dress socks — or better yet, snag some fun, colorful pairs that show a bit more personality. 2. Trousers too long Baggy trousers with too much break do two things well: They make you look shorter and they make you look sloppy. While a full break may be acceptable to some, even that look is a bit outdated. We suggest opting for trouser a length that barely skims the tops of your shoes. Alternatively, have them cuffed or cropped by your tailor especially if you want to show off your sock collection. 3. Square toe dress shoes We aren’t quite sure how these square-toed monstrosities are still finding their way to department store shelves. They are guaranteed to make you look like a time traveler from 1986. Instead of the dreaded square toe, stick with a classic rounded, or moderately pointed toe. Both these • When getting dressed up styles have a classic, timeless appeal. While we’re on the topic of dress shoes, we recommend brown or black leather uppers and leather soles whenever possible. 4. Jacket sleeves too long It’s very rare to find a suit jacket that fits perfectly straight off the rack. It’s even rarer to find a man who will take the time to get his illfitting jacket tailored. A jacket’s sleeves should hit just above the wrist bone and should allow 1/2 inch of shirt cuff to be seen. Any tailor worth his salt will be able to handle an alteration like this with his eyes closed — and it’s a lot more affordable than you think. 5. Too many shirt buttons undone While we agree that wearing a dress shirt buttoned up all the way can look a bit odd without a tie, be mindful when letting loose. Never unbutton more than two buttons. It looks unprofessional at best, and downright sleazy at worst. 6. Dress shirt too baggy This is the ultimate rookie mistake. A dress shirt that’s too large will make you look fatter, frumpier, and stumpier. Simply put, it’s not a good look. Make sure that your collar has no more than two fingers of room, that the shoulder seams hit the edge of your shoulder, and you don’t have excess fabric billowing around your torso. These days, there are a ton of affordable dress shirt options available that satisfy the needs of any man’s body type — so there’s no longer an excuse for an ill-fitting dress shirt. 7. Buttoning Too Many Jacket Buttons Never button the bottom button on a two or threebutton suit. Leaving the bottom button undone will allow for enhanced comfort and natural movement.You may be wondering why there is a bottom button in the first place if you’re not meant to button it — but some mysteries are better left unanswered. 8.Untucked Dress Shirt We hate to sound like your mother but please tuck in your dress shirt. Dress shirts are designed with extra length precisely so that they DON’T come untucked. If you don’t like the formality of a tucked in buttondown, choose a shirt style that has a shorter, casual cut. But really, if you’re wearing suit pants, you should always keep your shirt tucked in. 9. Visible undershirt Just like your underwear, your undershirt should never be visible. If you like leaving a couple buttons undone, opt for a v-neck undershirt so that it stays hidden from sight. It used to be that undershirts were mandatory, but these days, going sans undershirt is more acceptable — better no undershirt than one that is on display. 10. Limp, curling collar If you’re new to dress shirts, you may not be aware that there are slots in the underside of the collar into which “collar stays” are placed. A simple pair of inexpensive metal collar stays will keep your collar straight and laying flat against your collarbone. We also recommend having your dress shirts dry cleaned instead of machine washed. This greatly extends the life of your shirts and keeps them looking fresh and crisp. Though trends change, many of the style tips here are timeless — and the rest will surely be around for years to come. With a bit of thoughtful attention to detail, all these style mistakes are easily resolved. You’re guaranteed to feel more comfortable and confident once you get them handled.

Well as long as you are avoiding these five makeup mistakes, you’ll be good to go! 1. A telltale line of foundation on the jawline means your foundation hasn’t been blended in properly. The idea is not to see your foundation, but to create a smooth palette, so blend in well with a sponge or brush taking the colour just under the jawline. 2. Choosing the wrong colour foundation. Too dark a shade can make you look odd compared to the rest of your body and too light on darker skins gives one a dull and ashy complexion. 3. Too much blusher. Subtleness is the way to go, with a gentle swirl of colour on the apples of your cheeks 4. Penciling in brows too boldly or darkly. Our tip is to use eyeshadow, brushing through the colour, following the natural line with light strokes. 5. Lipstick on teeth. Blot your lips after applying lipstick to avoid colour bleeding, feathering and excess going onto your teeth. Source: goodhousekeeping.com
DAILYHERITAGE.COM.GH Sports I have unfinished business with the Black Stars • Says Muntari DAILY HERITAGE MONDAY, JULY <strong>30</strong>, 2018 15 VETERAN GHANAIAN midfielder Sulley Ali Muntari says he has not ruled out a return to the Black Stars and is keeping hope alive of making a return. The outspoken Muntari last represented Ghana at 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where a bust-up with an Executive Committee member of the Ghana Football Association resulted in his expulsion from the Ghana camp alongside Kevin Prince Boateng. He has since rendered an apology for his behaviour and insists that he still has a lot to offer the national team even at the age of 33. He is a free agent currently and has been training with Accra Hearts of Oak as he hopes to get in shape for any offers that might crop up. In recent interviews he has stated his unflinching love for the national team and the dedication to the national colours. “If I start playing, I would love to come back and play for the Stars”. “So far as I have not retired from football and still capable of playing the beautiful game, I would always love to be in the white jersey again if I am given the opportunity,” he told Ghana News Agency. Muntari will not be the only Ghanaian player plotting a comeback to the national team, as Kwadwo Asamoah of Inter Milan has also promised to return to the Black Stars after a four-year absence. With the Afcon 2019 qualifiers set to resume, it remains to be seen what surprise call-ups coach Kwesi Appiah will make as Ghana seek to make it a competition to remember. Muntari spent the 2017/2018 season with Spanish Primera side Deportivo La Coruna, where he made eight appearances. • Sulley Ali Muntari Dede Ayew was our top attacking target • Says Fenerbahce Sporting Director DAMIEN COMOLLI, Fenerbahce Sporting Director, has revealed that getting Andre Dede Ayew into the team for the coming season is high on their priority list in terms of summer acquisitions for the attacking role. Ayew completed a season-long loan move to the Turkish club from English Championship side, Swansea City, and he was unveiled at a press conference on Friday. The former West Ham player flew into Istanbul earlier last week after successful discussions between his representatives and Swansea City. He had to end his pre-season training with Swansea to head to Turkey to get the move across the line. Comolli, who has worked with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, in his career, told the media that Ayew was their main target as they thought of strengthening the team’s attack for the coming season. “We are delighted to welcome “We are delighted to welcome Andre Ayew to the club. He is our fourth signing of the summer.He was the main target we thought of for the wide attacking position. He was head coach Philip Cocu’s main choice and he was mine as well and we are absolutely delighted that he has joined us”. Andre Ayew to the club.
