Style News 08/13: What’s Your Tone Today?

What’s your tone today?

Though the guys in the FHM team are not big fans of coloured pants and yellow tees, but it seems the fashion world and those who consume its ideology think otherwise, and this could be the reason why every fashion house, like Tommy Hilfiger, is making men wear red, yellow and cyan. Maybe one day, we will stop boring ourselves with grey, blue and black. T-shirt ₹2999; Yellow t-shirt ₹1999; Hat ₹1299; Trousers ₹4499

When in doubt: black or white

No matter how much a few men would like you to believe that the combination of black and white makes you look like a waiter, we still believe that this combination is the safest best for someone who doesn’t like to play with colours or just can’t decide what colour to wear for a certain occasion. If you face the same dilemma, go for this tee from Van Heusen. ₹1499

Knowledge is power: survival tips

Who knows when you’ll next be lost in the wilderness or chased by an angry beast? Prepare yourself with our hide-your-tracks guide to survival.

• Leave no trace: Walk on boulders, stones or rock faces so your feet won’t leave any footprints.
• Brush it off: Destroy the trail by removing your prints with a bushy branch or a branchy bush.
• Hide your numbers: If you’re in a group, walk in single file in each other’s tracks with the largest footed at the front.
• Go loopy: Create false trails by circling back to your original path and retracing your own steps.
• The elements are your friend: Move in bad weather. The wind, rain and snow can be your best source of camouflage.
• Walk on water: Or at least in it. It’ll mask both your scent and tracks – just make sure you exit out of sight.
• Fox walk: This is a technique used by Native Americans. Moving slowly and shifting your weight from the usual heel-toe pattern to the outside of your foot makes prints indistinguishable.
