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?!?

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?!?

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..

A large amount of Brits have ended up in trouble with their partner over their roving eye and one in 10 have even split up with a partner because of it. But its not all bad, the staring has worked for some with 35 per cent of Brits saying they started a relationship with someone they eyed-up.

Take it from a woman, the top five places women look at men are: pubs/bars, shops, on public transport, supermarkets, at work.

Fashicon brings the you the latest fashion brands from across the world such as: Aem’Kei, Baracuta, Boxfresh, Calvin Klein, Farah Vintage, Fila Gold Collection, Fila Vintage, Gabicci Vintage, Junk de Luxe, K-Way, Modern Amusement, Original Penguin, Proper English, Sexy Bastard by Buckler and Villain.

These carefully selected brands have been chosen bringing the best mix of the latest trends, with a 100% authentic guarantee. With brands like these from Fashicon you will be a real head-turner and all we can say is prepare to be gazed at, guys?!?

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!?!

Evolution of 'Trousers' ?!?

Fashicon found it quite humorous how words can reflect the values of society at a given moment in history. Focusing on ‘Trousers’, here is how the word evolved over 500 years:

breeks 1552- · strosser 1598-1637 · strouse 1600-1620 · brogues 1615-1845 · trouses 1679-1820 · trousers 1681- · inexpressibles 1790- · indescribables 1794-1837 · etceteras 1794-1843 · kickseys/kicksies 1812-1851 · pair of trousers 1814- · ineffables 1823-1867 · unmentionables 1823- · pantaloons 1825- · indispensables 1828- · unimaginables 1833 · innominables 1834/43 · inexplicables 1836/7 · unwhisperables 1837-1863 · sit-down-upons 1840-1844 · pants 1840- · sit-upons 1841-1857 · unutterables 1843; 1860 · trews 1847- · sine qua nons 1850 · never-mention-ems 1856 · round-me-houses 1857 · round-the-houses 1858- · unprintables 1860 · stove-pipes 1863 · terminations 1863 · reach-me-downs 1877- · sit-in-'ems/sitinems 1886- · trousies 1886- · strides1889- · rounds 1893 · rammies 1919- · longs 1928-

You can’t help laughing your unmentionables off at the very thought that the prudish Victorians were so easily embarrassed?!? This 19th Century word, and others like “unwhisperables” and “never-mention-ems”, reflects Victorian prudery. Back then, even trousers were considered risque, which is why there were so many synonyms. People didn't want to confront the brutal idea, so found jocular alternatives.

At Fashicon there is nothing to whisper about, we say it like it is, like the fabulous: Farah Vintage Mills Hopsack Trouser, Fila Vintage Frankie Track Pants and Aem'kei Bustor Pants all available from www.fashicon.co.uk. Visit our site today and see what we have for you - we don’t even mind if you mension-em to your friends?!?

What do you call a Penguin in the desert?!?

Lost.

The best place for you to find an Original Penguin is at www.fashicon.co.uk?!?

Not only does Fashicon bring you only the very best Original Penguin clothing, but also at incredible prices?!?

Original Penguin is a brand that well deserves the name, having built up a keen following way back in the Fifties, with golf buddies Arnold Palmer, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby all joining the polo club. Sure enough, Original Penguin has stayed true to its heritage this season, counting Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp among the fans of its on-trend striped polos and assorted retro attire that looks as good whether you're on the course or in the clubhouse. By the way.. you can pick these up at www.fashicon.co.uk?!?

The famous Original Penguin logo has an interesting story behind it. As history tells us, one of Munsingwear’s salesmen spotted a flock of penguins in the window of a New York taxidermist – and on what seems like a lark, bought one of the stuffed birds. And before long, "Pete" the penguin became the official mascot and logo of golf shirts. Its first shirt – the 1955, was an instant golf classic, first to feature an "action gusset" or a ribbed slice of fabric on the underarm to avoid rips during even the most enthusiastic golf swing.

In 2003, an Original Penguin was recreated by a group of people who love great style and smart clothing. Today's fashionistas have evolved this legend and made it their very own. Fashicon is proud to bring Original Penguin to people with such great intellect, style and humour?!?

What's the catch??

If you tell someone that something is free, they immediately start looking for the catch. After all, the words of wisdom “there is no such thing as a free lunch” have been proven true for many people throughout life.

As any economist can tell you, cost really doesn’t only come down to how much money you have to hand over to get something. There are additional costs, like inconvenience and time spent doing something.

Time is a big factor in many free offers. Companies want a bit of your time in exchange for their free products. Have you ever taken advantage of one of those “free weekend vacation” offers in which you received free accommodation in a beach house in exchange for suffering through a long presentation and sales pitch?

Convenience is the other cost involved with many freebies. Time and convenience go hand in hand in some cases – it may not be especially convenient to fill out form after form simply because it is time consuming, but convenience takes another hit from freebies in the form of spam email. Often, signing up for a freebie can land you on a spam email list, and for some people, getting tons of spam is so inconvenient that they would rather pay full price.

At Fashicon we believe that the freebie is in the eye of the beholder. You have to decide what you are willing to put up with in order to get a free product. We respect our customer's time and want to make their shopping experience as convenient as possible! Instead of chasing after freebies, why not visit the Fashicon Sale and grab a bargain while you can.
