“Ahead of our time, but behind on our rent,” is the slogan you’ll see on one of the t-shirts from our Boxfresh clothing range. It’s also the philosophy of the Boxfresh clothing brand as a whole. Although they are in no way encouraging late rent and missed payments, this motto represents the Don’t Stay In clubbing attitude; party now, and deal with the consequences later.

Life and soul of the party, or just plain irresponsible? You decide.

Don’t Stay In is the world’s largest and most influential dance music and clubbing scene movements. With all the right music connections, such as Creamfields, History of Hardcore, Mixmag, Godskitchen, L.E.D Festival, LOVE-BUG, Cream Techno, and many others, this clubber’s events coordinator is a true bedfellow of Boxfresh clothing.

Boxfresh clothing is fresh out the box (literally), and is the epitome of rebellion, revolution and rave culture. The Boxfresh clothing brand was born out of the cultural changes in music from around the world, including drum & bass, garage, grime, dub step, acid jazz and trip hop. Today, Boxfresh clothing partners with Don’t Stay In of the global clubbing scene to bring you the Boxfreshers Tour 2010.

The first stop was in Liverpool on 20th September, headlined by Mixmag DJs, and our Boxfresh clothing has been flying off the shelf! Our Boxfresh clothing collection includes funky casual footwear, hoodies and baseball jackets, and a range of t-shirts ideal for clubbers.

Here at Standout, we don’t condone scratching into your landlord’s pockets by missing your rent. But we do love dance music. Whether you’re a fan of the commercial dance floor or you love the filthy beats of dub step, you’ll love our Boxfresh clothing range.

It’s inspired by music, and inspiring to music lovers. Shop online for Boxfresh clothing now…

Here at Stand Out we can’t believe it’s practically Autumn already. Where did the Summer go (if it ever really arrived!)? But anyway, enough of the moaning about the weather, now the evenings are cooling down dramatically and it’s getting a bit chilly on the toes for sandals, why not get yourself into a fab pair of Converse High Tops? We think boots are the best choice of footwear for keeping the wind off your ankles in cold weather, and the Converse High Tops are available in some brilliant colours and designs. I like the bright orange inner colour of the Converse All Star Hi trainers for a flash of brightness in the gloom of misty Autumn weather. Comfortable and smart, you’ll feel like a real dude wearing these boots.

Crazy But Cool – Converse High Tops
Despite being the shoe of choice of American basketball players, the Converse trainer was also adopted by punks in the seventies. In fact I remember when Converse trainers were banned from my school because the straight-laced teachers thought they were encouraging too much of a subversive interest in the dark side of the punk scene.

Whether you prefer calling them boots, trainers or sneakers they really are one of the most versatile shoes you can own. Wear them down the pub, to your gym, or simply for wandering down the road to your local shops. They’re ideal for so many different activities. You really don’t have to find an excuse to have a few pairs in your shoe cupboard at all. Check out the latest and greatest designs at Stand-Out.net

We’re really excited about the new AW10 collection from Franklin & Marshall heading towards us at a supersonic speed. We’re hoping there are some real gems to find in it this year, and Franklin & Marshall rarely disappoint us!

There’s one item of clothing that everyone, that is EVERYONE, has in their wardrobe whether you wear them on a daily basis or just down the gym, and that’s the sweatshirt. Franklin & Marshall rule the sweatshirt design stakes every year with the classic vintage logo splashed in large bold type right across the front. You’ll easily recognise a Franklin and Marshall top anywhere you go.

Here at Stand Out.net we’ve noticed that every time someone wears a new sweatshirt the printed design comes under close scrutiny. Apart from t shirts, sweatshirts seem to be one of the most used items of clothing for slogans, logos, messages and images relating to particular cultures, personal thoughts, music–related sub cultures to be displayed on. We think this is because it’s easy to print onto nice plain material, but also because a sweatshirt is such a mainstay of everyone’s wardrobes, all year round.  Of course, when it comes to sport a sweatshirt is ideal, not just to keep you warm between sessions, or matches, but to shout about which team you support. It’s a popular way to create a smart, recognisable uniform, cheaply for any kind of group or team. Being part of a club or group, or to proclaim your association with a certain style of music is something everyone can identify with and it’s the same theory for Franklin & Marshall sweatshirts. Be part of the vintage gang and get yourself dressed in a Franklin & Marshall sweatshirt this winter.

I don’t know about you but I get a feeling of nostalgia when I look outside and see how bad the weather is. No more hot sunny days, no more going outside in a pair of shorts, boat shoes and low-cut socks to make an impression.

Now I have to dress up really warm if I want to go anywhere. But that’s OK, I know how to look stylish no matter what the temperature is outside.

I’ll share some of the things I’m wearing this fall that are an absolute must in any man’s wardrobe. Plus, you’ll find out how to match each of them with the rest of your outfit. Here we go.

#5 A vest or t-shirt
If you wear shirts (which I hope you do for a classy look,), a vest is the perfect match to keep you warm. It’s stylish, it’s cheap to buy and it’s a great alternative to your sweater.

The secret to making a vest work with a dress shirt is to create a contrast. For instance, wear a white shirt with a black vest or a blue shirt with a white vest. There are dozens of combinations you can try.

Here’s a great tip for you. What you should do is buy several shirts and several vests that you can combine with one another. The cool thing about this is, when you mix and match them, you’ll give everyone the illusion you actually have more clothes than in reality.

Of course a plain t-shirt works just as well and I love to wear one of these Calvin Klein t-shirts under a shirt on the weekends.

#4 A blazer
Sports jackets or Blazers simply scream “style” when worn right. If you’re not really the leather jacket type of guy, you can wear one with your casual outfits and stand out from other guys. A sports jacket can be worn with things such as:

• A dress shirt
• A polo shirt
• A pair of jeans
• A pair of khakis
• Leather shoes as well as canvas sneakers

#3 A scarf
If it’s windy, don’t think you’ll prove everyone that you’re a man by not keeping warm. Men’s scarves have been around for a long time and are very, very stylish. I’m wearing them every day ever since it’s gotten cold outside.

#2 A cardigan
If you’re tired of wearing geeky sweaters, try an item of clothing chose by celebrities such as Zac Efron and David Beckham.

A cardigan can “dress up” an outfit but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear it in casual situations. Like the other 4 items in this article, you can wear it with jeans.

#1 A pair of brown brogue shoes
If you’re tired of the same leather shoes you’ve been wearing for years, try something different. Brogues have the so-called “wingtips” on them and are a staple in any classy wardrobe.

Wear your brown shoes with a pair of dark blue denim, a blue shirt and a brown belt.

Now that I gave you some cool ideas of what you can buy this autumn, there are only two things left for you to do:
1. Browse the selection at the Stand-Out website and decide what combos would look great on you…
2. Make a decision of what you like most then buy them!

If you keep repeating these two steps, in a year you’ll have a wardrobe that only real men can be proud of.

Undefendable Fashion – Don’t Hide Your Style Under a Table
If you’re like me, and end up practically horizontal at work, never mind at home, then it’s time to smarten up our slobbishness. If a very strong coffee doesn’t provide a cure to perk us up, maybe a quick jog around the block in freezing weather might do the trick. We think it’s partly psychological. We’re mentally trying to ward off those winter blues by being in denial about the fact the summer’s over already, if you get my drift. In fact, we are unfortunately getting towards that time of year again, when standing freezing your toes off at the edge of the football pitch gradually changes to watching the matches on TV instead, indoors in the warm. Nights are also getting darker earlier, so we’re getting some new comfy gear to slob out in at home. Actually we’re not really too slobby here, I mean we do have our standards, so nothing but the best for our crash-out outfits, and the joggers from Duck and Cover will do the trick nicely thank you. The jogging trousers are pretty cool. They’re made from very soft and comfortable fabric with the best bit being the large embroidered logo on the side of one leg. With a handy drawstring to stop them falling down, they’re the ultimate in relaxing clothing. So even if winter turns us into home bodies, the jogging pants are practical and trendy replacements for your summer shorts. And will help ward off the slob-effect too.
