Richard asks…
Which watches/brands would you suggest?
I would like to buy a nice men’s watch. My budget is around 300-400. It’s a more casual watch going to be worn with dress shirts and jeans but I don’t mind wearing a sports watch. I’m looking for more of a thicker/bigger watch. Thanks for any suggestions!

Donna asks…
What kind of watch is this? Dress or Casual?
Does this watch seems like a dress watch or a casual watch?

admin answers:
I think its both. You can dress it down by wearing casual things like jeans, etc. Or you could just pair it with something formal and it would still look good.
It all depends on what you wear with it. So it’s pretty versatile.
Watches are meant to be this way anyways. (:

What is a good contrast ratio for a casual use computer monitor? Watching videos, browsing internet, etc…?
I’m in the market for a good computer monitor. I’m looking at 19″ monitors in the $150-180 price range. I have my eyes on a few, but this contrast ratio thing has me stumped. Obviously I want a high contrast ratio, but I don’t want it to be unnecessarily high.
What sort of ratio should be sufficient?
admin answers:
1000:1 to 3000:1 should be fine and looks nice.

What is the appropriate business casual attire(for ladies) to wear for musical stage plays?
I am about to watch one of the most popular stage shows, “The Phantom of the Opera” at The Venetian on Las Vegas Strip. I’ve watched other stage plays before but this one seems more special. The dress code is business casual. I wonder what do most people wear in an event like this one. I need more specific answers to my question.
admin answers:
The main thing is to look well-pulled together — not a full power suit or evening dress, but not jeans, either — and be comfortable.
I’d say a jacket, blouse, and skirt would be fine or nice pants. Even a nice sweater that’s not too loud (No big reindeer), and nothing overly frilly or shiny.
“Business casual” would be what you might wear to a relaxed business event — an informal cocktail get-together, say.
More specific? From the second link:
Specifics for women’s business casual
Don’t confuse club attire with business attire. If you would wear it to a club, you probably shouldn’t wear it in a business environment. Also, most attire worn on televison is not appropriate for business environments. Don’t be deluded.
Pants / skirts:
Women can wear casual pants or skirts. Neither should be tight. Fabrics should be crisp; colors should generally be solid; navy, black, gray, brown and khaki are always safe bets. For the most business-like appearance, pants should be creased and tailored; neither extreme of tight or flowing. If you are pursuing a conservative industry and are in doubt, observe well-dressed women in your industry on the job, at career fairs, at information sessions, etc.
Skirt length and slits:
Your skirt should come at least to your knees while you are standing. While you are seated, your thighs should be covered. If your skirt comes to just below the knee, a slit to just above the knee might be acceptable. A very long skirt should not be slit to above the knee. Generally slits in the center back of a skirt — to facilitate walking a stair climbing — are acceptable. Slits to facilitate a view of your legs are not appropriate for business purposes. Slips should not be visible.
Shirt / sweaters:
In addition to tailored shirts or blouses, tailored knit sweaters and sweater sets are appropriate business casual choices for women. Cotton, silk, and blends are appropriate. Velvets and shimmery fabrics suitable for parties are not appropriate. Fit should not be tight. Cleavage is not appropriate to business and job search occasions.
Jewelry / accessories:
Wear a conservative watch. Jewelry and scarf styles come and go. Keep your choices simple and leaning toward conservative. Avoid extremes of style and color. If your industry is creative, you may have more flexibility than someone pursuing a conservative industry.
Cosmetics:
Keep makeup conservative and natural looking. A little is usually better than none for a polished look. Nails should be clean and well groomed. Avoid extremes of nail length and polish color, especially in conservative industries.
Shoes:
Should be leather or fabric / microfiber. Appropriate colors are black, navy and brown (to coordinate with your other attire and accessories); white and pastels are not appropriate. For the most conservative look, toes should be covered. Sandals which are neither extremely dressy or extremely casual might be appropriate. Thin straps and high heels are not appropriate. Chunky heels and platforms are not apropriate. Make certain you can walk comfortably in your shoes; hobbling around a job fair in shoes that are pinching your feet does not convey a professional image.
Hose:
Not essential for business casual, but are recommended if your skirt is knee length (rather than calf length) and in more formal environments such as hotels.
Purse / bag:
If you carry a purse, keep it small and simple, or carry a small briefcase or business-like tote bag in place of a purse. A structured bag tends to look more professional that something soft or floppy. Purse/bag color should coordinate with your shoes. A briefcase is certainly not necessary for most business casual events. Leather, microfiber and fine wovens are appropriate. Canvas and straw are not appropriate.
