Christmas is fast approaching (again!) and you probably have a list of things to do and buy a mile long. If you're looking for a guide of some top items you could buy your boyfriend this Christmas, look no further. One item that always makes a great present is a watch. They're especially good as they're available in a range of prices, so you can choose one to fit your budget. Go for a smart, black leather strap for a classic look or perhaps one with a metal bracelet.

You know, it's true what they say: boys do love their toys. This Christmas, why not treat him to a brand new E-reader? These are increasingly popular as traditional publishing takes a hit and they're really handy - you can carry around a whole library in your pocket. An E-reader is sure to appeal to his inner geek as well as being both educational and creative, making it great for the thinking man as well as his inner child. You could even pre-load it with a couple of books.

If you've ever tried to give your man fashion advice, chances are it hasn't been well-received. Christmas, however, is your chance to change all that by getting him a new t shirt. You'll both be able to reap the benefits of this gift; pick out your favorite colors on his behalf for a mutually-satisfactory gift. Choose from styles such as logo tees, polo shirts, long sleeved tees and crew necks for a really versatile, popular gift that is guaranteed to fit within your budget.

For a quirky, unusual gift that's sure to get you in the good books for the start of the coming year, consider buying your boyfriend a fantastic trip or event relating to one of his hobbies. If he fancies himself as a chef, you could send him on a cooking course or, for those of you dating racing driver wannabes, get him a course of racing lessons. You could also send him skydiving or on a paintball session for a thrilling present he's sure to love.

While we would never recommend buying your boyfriend a knitted sweater with cheesy pictures of Santa Claus, reindeer or snowmen on the front, a sweater is still a really great gift idea. You could choose a crew neck or V-neck sweater, depending what looks best on him and choose one in a color that never fails to make him look amazing. Soft cashmere makes for a really amazing gift that he'll love and help make your Christmas really special and memorable.

Evolution of the T Shirt From Inner to Outer Wear

Quick! What are you wearing right now? No this is not one of those questions; it is posed merely to elicit a very likely response: because if you are reading this lounging at home right now, you are very likely to be dressed in a T shirt, whether you are male or female. If there is one item of clothing that anyone and everyone has in their closet it is the ubiquitous Tee. So how did this most omnipresent form of attire come into being? Well it is widely believed that the Tshirt design was originally fashioned to be a form of innerwear and the story goes that t shirts first became popular during World War I when American soldiers noticed their European counterparts’ cool and comfortable cotton undershirts when they were forced to bear with their less practical and more sweaty woolen uniforms. The other theory for the origin of the t-shirt design is also ascribed to the men at arms, the US navy prescribed a "light undershirt" to be worked around the year 1913, and this item was described as a garment having "elastic collarette on the neck opening, called "crew neck". However, it was still used chiefly as innerwear till the 50s. What finally made the T shirt come out of the closet (and into all of ours) and the reason it was finally perceived as seemly to be worn even without an outer shirt is another story. Widely believed to have really made the T shirt mainstream is the unforgettable and iconic portrayal of the Rebel without a Cause by heartthrob James Dean in the 1955 classic film. It is James Dean that is credited with making the tee a contemporary symbol of youth, and rebellious youth to be particular. Whatever the provenance of the Tee shirt, it is now probably the most popular and the most versatile item of clothing, so that the t shirt can be anything from grunge and slouchy to elegant and smart. There are tie and dye tshirts, batik tshirts, funny tshirts, plain tshirts, psychedelic tshirt, striped, pattered, distressed, the list goes on and on. Amazingly enough, there are many websites today holding t shirt design contests. There are cash prizes amongst others for the winners. It’s a great way for budding designers to gain repute. T shirts are increasingly used to make a style statement these days. Although the Tee is viewed chiefly as a casual, informal way to dress, it is very versatile in that it can be smartened up to go anywhere. For instance the long sleeved T shirt is instantly less casual and with appropriate trimmings can become quite a formal garment, especially for women. Graphic tees can instantly make you look cool. T Shirts have undergone a long evolutionary process. What started out essentially as the round neck short sleeved garment made of knitted soft hosiery cotton, changed dramatically over the years both in terms of design as well as the material used to manufacture it. Cotton was replaced by cotton blends, polyester, lycra, spandex and a whole host of other materials that were used to keep pace with the ever fickle trends of the day. Necklines rose and plunged; sleeves lengthened and shortened and sizes shrunk or expanded in accordance with styles and fashions dictated by the powers that be! And the evolution of the T shirt continues to this day!

What to do with a long crew neck shirt?

I'm wondering what to do with a crew neck shirt that fits my upper body well but is a bit too long at the bottom, reaching half way between my hip and my knee. I believe the rules explicitly state that these shirts should never be tucked in but I'm wondering if slight variations are possible? This will be worn in a nightclub setting, and I am a male.

Just wear it as it is. There is room for variations - no set rules. I have no idea who made this one.

The second choice is to take it to a tailor/seamstress and have it shortened if you are so concerned. This service can be found mainly at your local dry cleaners
