Dress above the rest for that important Job interview?!?

It’s always a tough call when trying to decide what to wear for a job interview. Traditionally men always wore their smartest suit and the. However things have changed a lot since the old days?!?

You would be very surprised at what can be ascertained from the first few moments in someone’s presence. It is an accepted fact that a decision can be made in the first few minutes. An interviewer or employer will discover a great deal about you in a relatively small amount of time by simply looking at the way you dress as well as your body language.

So your first few seconds are fairly vital when you walk into that interview room. As a pointer it’s always a good idea to “Dress above the Rest” at an interview. Remember you are out to make a special impression. Although you will want to fit in if you get the job, you need to be appointed first!

With a little help from Fashicon you can walk into that interview room - feeling good, putting your best foot forward and showing that you are ready for a new challenge?!?

With carefully selected brands, fashicon.co.uk brings you the best mix of the latest trends, with a 100% authentic guarantee. Not only have Fashicon included household fashion brands but exciting up and coming brands too. Shopping with us will not make you a Fashion misfit but a real Fashicon?!?

Junk de Luxe Daniel Plain Shirt, Junk de Luxe Striped Shirt, Modern Amusement Protest Check Shirt, Villain Trench Coat, Farah Vintage Abbott Mac, and to round it all off: Burlington Argyle Extra Soft Socks.

Now you can make a good entrance with the confidence that you are dressed for success. With Fashicon you are bound to make the right impression?!?

Are MEN the new shopaholics?!?

The stereotype of the female shopaholic could soon be an image of the past, as new research shows that Britain's 'online high street' is increasingly dominated by men?!? The latest findings from the PayPal UK Online Retail Report, conducted by Experian, indicate that over 12.9 million men shop online today compared with 10.3 million women, and almost twice as many men than women are joining the army of online shoppers each year?!?

Men are also spending more online than women. The average online spend over the last six months was £2,602 for men compared to £1,930 for women?!?

The PayPal report suggests that men were quicker to turn to the internet at the beginning of the economic downturn, looking to save money by shopping around, and to research products in more depth before buying them. Men love the quick and efficient nature of the internet?!?

Our impatience have helped drive a revolution in how websites are designed. Gone are the days of elaborate graphics that take an age to load - and drive customers away to better designed sites.

Visit www.fashicon.co.uk - AKA - “the site to look up to” and you will see exactly why men would rather shop on our site than spending a day hanging around the Mall?!? Fashicon brings you the latest fashion brands from across the world, together with a reliable and trusted service making Fashicon the preferred online destination for menswear?!?

7 Great moments in the history of Manhood?!?

35,000 BC: The first erotic cave art is made in Cussac, France

Beauty ideals have changed somewhat over the millennia. Even 37,000 years ago, Frenchmen were preoccupied with women, food, and clothing. Not much have changed since?!?

1516: Reinheitsgebot beer purity law

By banning “preservatives” like soot and poisonous mushrooms, the Reinheitsgebot paved the way for an era when the WORST thing that’ll happen from a few too many Becks is a wicked hangover?!?

1955: Chevy introduces the small-block V8

Fuel economy watch out, muscle cars are back. Much of the credit (or blame) for that goes to this engine. The motor has since been used in everything from Corvettes to pickups, meaning it’s the ultimate engine to fix up yourself?!?

1981: Jessica Alba is born

1987: Gordon Gekko makes a phone call

It was Michale Douglas, as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, who first made the cell phone cool. Gekko used his bricklike Motorola DynaTAC to remind Bud Fox that “money never sleeps.” But it was that moment when a geeky novelty device became something a style-conscious guy could actually consider using?!?

1991: The dawn of the 16-bit gaming console

The 16-bit gaming console meant more intense game play, and even better scrolling that at least acknowledged the laws of physics?!? College and the 15 years that follow it would never be the same again..

2008: The birth of Fashicon

With the constant lack of branded fashion on the high street, Fashicon was born. Fashicon brings the latest fashion brands from across the world, together with a reliable and trusted service making the only online destination for menswear. Oh, and did we mention you can avoid the trip to the shops?!?

Make the Ladies stare for once?!?

The average man will spend almost 43 minutes a day staring at 10 different women. That adds up to 259 hours - almost 11 days - each year, making a total of 11 months and 11 days?!?

A year of their life is a long time to spend with your eyes fixed on the fairer sex and Fashicon is here to help you blokes gear up to make the women admire you a bit more..

Would the real FashICON please stand up?!?

It’s one of the great fashion mysteries of all time, but one that is set to continue for many years to come I’m sure, and one that will no doubt end up trapping more confused soles than ever under its spell. So what is this great fashion mystery – just why do designers create clothes that don’t actually look good on anyone?!?!

Fashion trends used to be dictated by royalty and the upper class, but for the present day the reverse is true, as designers now mostly look to the streets to find inspiration. Here in lies the problem – as what looks cool on your average 18 year old student, does not look quite so hot when worn by your average 45 year old software engineer who has no exercise routine to speak of and unlimited access to the vending machine!?!?

Take these designs for example; the outfits are only really appropriate if you are travelling from a cricket match to your eccentric grandmother’s tea party by scooter!?! I mean come on – do you know anybody that could pull off these outfits?!?! It is always worth remembering that choosing a designer brand is no guarantee of looking good!?!

Luckily, here at Fashicon we can pick the wheat from the chaff for you as everything we stock has been carefully selected by hand to bring you the best mix of the latest trends to ensure you always make a good impression!!

Why not take a look at our website at www.fashicon.co.uk – unless you have a fancy-dress party to attend of course!?!
