The Secret Behind LG Secret

The third in LG Black Label Series meant to tantalize users


LG Secret was developed to satisfy the tastes of trendsetters who desire a sophisticated design with an enduring elegance. It is the third model from the LG Black Label Series. The premium, understated style of the phone is reflected through the unique pattern and texture of the innovative carbon fiber material, complemented with sleek tempered glass.

The name Secret symbolizes a slender and stylish handset that does not compromise benefits and convenience of smart, digital technology.

The meaning of the product name, “LG Secret” (Model: LG-KF750), is to tantalize the user with the intrinsic features of the phone and engage in a continual process of exploring the inner workings of the handset that will never go out of style.

“LG Secret inspires timeless elegance with its premium materials and today’s most innovative mobile technology, a mark of true premium mobile handset,” says Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We expect the introduction of the third LG Black Label Series will continue to raise our position as a premium brand in the Asia Pacific...”

Wardrobe Must-Have for Guys

Ever wished that there was one definitive list of clothes that you should have in your wardrobe for all occasions? Ever wondered how to put together a wardrobe that just works? How does that other guy always look so good? How did he manage to always look so put together, when he earns about the same as you? What kind of umbrellas should a man use?

If fashion has always been a big puzzle for you, fret no more. You are now in the possession of a very powerful list that will teach you how to assemble the pieces required for all occasions. After setting up this wardrobe, you should never have to worry about what to wear, and even how to match your clothes.

Read. Print. Tick off your list. Dress well, and be confident. Anywhere, anytime.

Formal / Semi Formals

• Four (4) long sleeved shirts in blue, black, white or with small prints
• Two (2) short-sleeved shirts in summery colours like white, green or pale blue. You can also choose a shirt with some prints but avoid anything too loud unless you are a well-sculptured male model posing for a beach wear ad
• A pair of chinos pants in khaki colour
• A pair of black pants with a flat front. Try to avoid pants that have a pleated front as a flat-front pant can give you a more cleaner and sharper look
• A pair of black and/or blue pants
• One (1) well-cut suit, if you can afford bespoke, all the better. Be sure to tailor two (2) pairs of pants with it because they tend to wear out faster. If you prefer, have one made half and inch wider around the waist for those days when you begin to grow a beer belly. If you are having a tuxedo made, make sure you have a bow tie, tuxedo shirt and cummerbund as well
• Four (4) neckties, have at least one black based, one blue based, one with a fun print or something you like and one with a flashier color or style for nights (and nights when for some reason you want to act gay or blend in with the crowd.)
• Two (2) belts - have at least one black belt and one brown belt. You will notice that I advocate separating brown and black. Black is a cold colour while brown is a warm colour and unless you look like a model, it is very difficult to pull off wearing the two colours together
• One (1) light coloured jacket in either cream, pale blue or light brown
• One (1) leather satchel for your business documents
• One (1) set of silver cufflinks to accompany your formal shirts
• One (1) good watch in stainless steel. Avoid gold
• A pair of dress shoes in good polished leather in a colour that matches your main suit. Try to choose those with a square or round toe. Avoid dress shoes with pointed toes. You are not a cowboy
• Allowable jewellery on weekdays – wear only a maximum of two at a time out of these five items: ring, bracelet, earring, chain and/or tattoo
  

Casual

• One (1) pair of extremely well-cut blue jeans that is not torn anywhere, have chains or any words attached/scribbled/stitched to it. Little frays at the hems are acceptable
• Two (2) polo shirts. One plain one and one that is striped
• Sportswear for the sports that you play - you need one set that makes you look good for each sport you play. Try to avoid wearing your sportswear all the time especially when you are not planning to play that day
• Soccer jersey for the team that you support
• Board shorts
• Three (3) short sleeved shirts. Choose shirts that are roomy but not too big. You are not 50Cent. Try to get at least one shirt that is made of quick-dry fabric
• One (1) long sleeved sweatshirt in grey, black or blue. Should be relatively simple, either in round neck or V-neck
• If you have nice arms, get a sleeveless tee shirt for the beach. If not, stick to short sleeved tee shirts
• Cool sunglasses
• One (1) waist pouch or messenger bag to keep your hands free (your preference)
• Swimming trunks in black, blue or brown. Avoid wearing swimming trunks in red, yellow, white, purple or pink. Never, unless you are a model on a fashion show and being paid to parade in them
• One (1) pair of sneakers, try and get those with shoelaces and not those with Velcro
• One (1) pair of leather sandals and/or Birkenstocks
• One (1) pair of comfortable flip flops
• White trainers or city walking shoes. They are very fashionable now, and will remain in fashion for some time, so any guy who wants to be fashion forward can consider getting them
• Allowable jewellery for weekends or nights – Wear only a maximum of three out of these 5 items: ring, bracelet, earring, chain or tattoo
  

All Weather / Travel Wear

• Sports jacket or windbreaker and accompanying pants
• A well-cut winter coat in black
• Autumn coat or leather jacket
• Dark coloured turtleneck
• Heavy scarf
• A nice pair of gloves
• Two (2) pieces of luggage – one large and one cabin-sized
• One (1) backpack
• Travel documents folder
• Shoe bag
• Travel toiletries kit preferably with a hook that you can hang – for some reason this feature is more masculine than for women
• One (1) overnight bag
• One (1) cap
• Dark and light coloured socks. Remember to wear dark coloured socks with your dark shoes and light coloured socks with your light shoes. For moccasins, no socks
• Always have a spare set of clean underwear in only two (2) allowable styles: briefs or boxers. Sarongs and G-strings do not count.
  

Other Small Items of Need

• One (1) good pen
• A condom case
• A PDA or any gadget that you fancy that you can bring around
• A professional-looking cardholder
• A nice key chain
• A flat and clean wallet. If your wallet is fat and peeling, you obviously need to buy a new one. Better still if you look gorgeous and can carry off a money clip, everyone finds it sexy
• And maybe even a nice big long umbrella. Avoid using a foldable umbrella. If you currently have one, throw away now.
