MEN'S CHRISTMAS GROOMING TIPS FROM BRAUN
The festive period brings added pressure of looking good for families and friends, and according to a new survey by Braun, Christmas Eve is when most men spruce up, starting with their beard
Braun cruZer has just the tools to make any restyle easy
& Braun’s Style Director, Fabio Vivan, has some top tips on how to look your festive best.
Facial Hair
44% of guys claim their beard keeps them warm in the winter.
Fabio’s top tip for cold weather facial hair: Use a beard oil and massage regularly to prevent dry skin and keep your beard looking sleek and voluminous
40% of women said their partner would get a ticking off if he looked scruffy and unkempt.
Fabio’s top tip for tidying up: The Braun cruZer face features a trimmer with a narrow side that precisely defines lines and edges and shapes tight curves while the wide side (28mm) evenly cuts and trims large areas.
16% of bearded blokes are frustrated that they can’t sport the current roll neck trend.
Fabio’s top tip for trimming: Trim the neck area and sideburns more regularly than the cheeks and upper lip, as these areas will grow quicker –use a beard trimmer with an adjustable comb like the Braun cruZer6 beard&head to maintain a length that you are happy with
A fifth of men said that being off work during the festive break is the perfect excuse for them to test out a new beard style.
Fabio’s top tip for after the shave: Keep skin hydrated post-grooming with aloe vera based skincare and avoid the use of alcohol-based aftershaves as these can change the PH balance in your skin
Body hair
36% of men are planning on spending more time on their grooming routine in 2016 than in 2015. Fabio’s top tip for maintaining body hair in the New Year: Start by using a body trimmer on a high setting. Continue with a lower setting until you’re happy with the result.
A product like the Braun cruZer6 body is perfect as it features three trimming combs (0.6mm, 3mm & 8mm) that allow you to choose your preferred length of body hair

Modern British shirt maker Thomas Pink has collaborated with Pantone to curate a collection inspired by the pairing of PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity and PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz the 2016 Colour of the Year.
“Serenity,” a cool blue tone that comforts with a calming effect and “Rose Quartz,” a soft pink hue that conveys compassion and a sense of composure represent a harmonious union of complementary shades for the well-appointed man. “The use of colour has long been a pillar of the Thomas Pink brand and something our customer has always embraced to express his distinctive point of view,” said Florence Torrens, Global Creative Director for Thomas Pink. “The 2016 Colour of the Year allows our gentleman to use fashion to convey a sense of stability, constancy and a quiet authority – traits that are necessary in today’s turbulent world.”
“The Pantone Colour of the Year selection captures the essence of what we see taking place in our culture during a specific moment in time, serving as an expression of a mood and an attitude on the part of the consumers,” said Laurie Pressman, Vice President of Pantone Colour Institute™. “We are seeing more and more men let go of traditional colour associations; allowing themselves to experiment with their wardrobe. As a brand known for leading the way with colour in men’s fashion, the collaboration between Pantone and Thomas Pink for our 2016 Colour of the Year selection is a natural choice.”
The Pantone 2016 Colour of the Year is offered in shirts and accessories throughout the brand’s collection both as seasonal and core pieces.

Ermenegildo Zegna SS16 Advertising Campaign
A group of self-aware and relaxed men is portrayed on a simple white background to emulate the balance of simplicity, fluidity and lightness protagonist of the Ermenegildo Zegna Couture SS16 Fashion Show by Stefano Pilati.
The graphic layout is completely new, while the essential white stage allows clothes to speak by themselves through the powerful photography of Inez & Vinoodh.
The images express the modern and conscious aesthetic codes of the New Leaders, highlighting their stylish, masculine and contemporary personality.
For the Ermenegildo Zegna Couture collection a symphony of lightness and transparency declined into micro and macro Madras patterns play with shades of beautiful "non-whites" framed by optical white and total black looks, while Ermenegildo Zegna, next to the world of classic tailoring, introduces its new colorful informal soul: a nonchalant and decidedly relaxed take on the daily act of dressing up.
