One of the strangest social or cultural phenomena since the Second World War is the change in criteria which individuals use to purchase garments. For thousands of years before then, people wanted the best possible clothing that they could get and one of the criteria that they used to judge each other was their dress sense or the quality of their clothes.

This all started to change in the Seventies when it became more significant to not be seen wearing the same article too often, so it became more desirable to have five cheap shirts that would not last long than to have one high quality shirt that would last for years. How did this shift in principles come about?

The most obvious section to blame are the fashion designers (or their imitators) and the advertisers. Individuals without much money to spend on clothes do not want to be seen in the same blue shirt on every other occasion, they would rather have a number of colours, but perhaps these people do not understand the difference in the quality.

The quality of one’s clothing is very important as most women and around half as many men know. First impressions matter and bright and cheerful (but cheap) is not as impressive to those who know the difference as quality.

To those people who say that the person should count over the clothing, I would say ‘Yes, in a perfect world. One day, but it is not the way it works now’. Why do people dress up for a date, and especially the first date? Why do people dress up for an interview? And why do individuals dress up to go to court?

It is because clothing matters and first impressions count and deep down, we all know it even though most of us wish that it did not matter so much.

First of all, it is vital to find a style that suits you. Then you should buy pieces of clothing that are decent examples of that style. They will not be cheap, but is a Hell’s Angel’s leather jacket cheap? Certainly not. Whatever niche you think you fit into or want to fit into, buy the appropriate clothing to stand out for quality.

I am not saying that people have to dress appropriate to their age group, I am saying that people should dress appropriate to the upper echelons of their niche group. If you would like to become a Hell’s Angel, get one of the best leather jackets and if you want to work in an office, buy yourself a good suit. Just because you cannot tell the difference between a cheap one and a decent one does not mean that your peers cannot as well.

You just have so much scope to transform your physical appearance, but you can still create a big impression by wearing quality clothing like a decent overcoat, a decent suit, a good cardigan or a good shirt. The ones who know the difference will notice and it will not damage your prospects.

LED stands for light emitting diode. LED’s are not new, they are the tiny red or green lights on the front of your stereo that tells you that the power is on. Some set-ups have quite a few of them to indicate the state of preparation of the equipment. However, there is a new wave of interest in LED lighting by manufacturers. There is talk of LED’s being the future of lighting. In fact, there always has been these rumours about LED’s, but nothing ever appeared to come of it.

This renewed interest in LED lighting started in 2004 when vehicle manufacturers took another look at using LED lights in car headlamps. In 2008, Lexus manufactured the first ever car, the Lexus 600, with LED headlamps. These cars were exported all over the world except for North America. However, the 600’s headlamps were or are not true LED headlamps, the main beam is produced by filament bulbs.

The first authentic LED headlamps were fitted to the Audi V10 R8 sports car also in 2008 and the first American automobile was the Cadillac Esplanade Platinum in 2009. However, there is an innate issue with high power LED lighting, the rear of the diode produces a lot of heat. In fact, a cluster of high power LED’s produces sufficient heat to damage itself and melt the headlamp housing.

There are ways around this using heat sinks and cooling fans, but these answers are not ideal, so technicians and scientists are still looking for ways to resolve this problem. On the other hand, the front of the LED lights produces almost no heat at all, so if there is vapour in the headlamp unit and the ambient temperature is below freezing point, then ice crystals will form over the LED’s distorting and dampening the rays of light.

Nevertheless, scientists are sure that these teething problems will be surmounted and that LED lighting will one day be the most inexpensive form of lights to use. In fact, it is already very inexpensive to use and the LED lights units themselves last a long time. It is just the issue of overheating.

Besides their use in car headlamps, LED lighting units can be seen in flashlights and in other parts of cars. Manufacturers are using LED lights more and more often in brake lights, flashing indicator lights and hazard warning lights, because there is no problem at all with these quite low powered LED lights.

LED lights used to be either green or red, but now it comes in more colours. White and blue are common. The coloured lights that you see under some cars are another instance of LED lighting. They serve the useful objective of making the car of motorbike more highly visible. All right, that may not be why they were installed, but nonetheless they increase the vehicles’ visibility.

Many more uses will be found for LED lights over the coming years. You will notice incandescent bulbs and even fluorescent tube lighting being phased out in favour of LED lights as the problems are surmounted, because LED lights is still in its infancy.

Have you come to the conclusion that you would like a change of image? Or would you just like to smarten yourself up a bit? Perhaps you have a new career with new colleagues and you would like to take this opportunity to dress a bit more elegantly. Occasionally people like to transform their image while they are searching for or have just found a new partner.

Whilst changing one’s image most people will focus on a new hair style and smarter clothes. Women might go for smart trouser suits or power dresses and men might decide to wear a lounge suit or a jacket and tie more often. If the weather is bad an expensive overcoat always completes the image, particularly suede, cashmere or leather. It used to be that fur was de rigeur, but now it is duh.

However, there is another way of changing your image, a way that need not be that costly, although sometimes it takes courage to do it. That is the wearing or the using of accessories. Women have more opportunity here in many ways, but men have choices as well.

Women can sport something in their new hair style; possibly co-ordinate bags and shoes; possibly wear a different style of stockings or could start wearing gloves, white kid, for example. They could modify the style of jewelery they wear and the colour or their hair and lipstick. Belts, brooches, watches and scarves can also serve the purpose of changing ones image. They could also wear a fresh flower on their lapel, in their hair or behind their ear for that old style gypsy look (that is the brave one).

Men have a slightly harder time of it without looking daft, but men can wear better shoes, wear a tie more often or a costly watch. They could carry a briefcase and an umbrella, and wear a flower in their button hole, but this is where it starts to look a bit contrived. They could also wear a monocle, a pocket watch or a bow tie.

My cousin wears a monocle and once you overcome your first instinct to laugh, you have to admit that he looks fairly elegant. The same is true of bow ties, which he wears too and insists on tying it by hand. He also carries an umbrella, a briefcase and wears pinstripes. He is very brave and he is noticed and remembered wherever he goes.

However, you do not need to go that far. Even just wearing a bow tie instead of a tie will set you apart. Have you noticed that if you are talking to someone wearing a bow tie you cannot stop looking at it? It is the men’s equivalent of a woman’s low-cut dress.

Anyway, accessories are a less expensive way of altering your image than going out and buying a new wardrobe of outfits and they are more easily combined that different suits. Go for colours that combine easily, like blacks, greys, browns and off-whites. Understatement is usually better than garish.
