INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During this time, suits were becoming more narrow - with slim "cigarette leg" pants and a sack coat shape (like a Brooks Brother's suit). Charcoal grey was a popular color for men's suits. Note: a white shirt was usually worn with this grey suit, along with a plain, narrow tie. Before the war, all men wore hats. But moving into the '50s, hats became less and less popular. Why? Because men were driving more and hats were bothersome to wear while in the car. For men, there were many situational fashions that were worn at certain times by certain types of people. Khaki and plaid shirts or button-down collared oxford cloth shirts were seen on students. T-shirts were seldom worn alone because they were considered an undershirt. Hawaiian shirts and box shirts were worn in the summer. Slim-legged cigarette pants were a popular men's style during this time period. Jeans were typically used for outdoor wear, but many teenagers wore them more regularly. Bermuda shorts were often worn in the summer. In the 1950s, most men wore Oxford shoes (often two-toned), saddle shoes, or chukka boots. Saddle shoes are two toned (usually black and white) leather shoes with a flat heel. They are typically a white shoe with a black decorative "saddle" in the middle section. Chukka boots are ankle-high leather boots that typically only have 2-3 pairs of holes for lacing the shoelace. Hair was worn short, in a post-military style. Men started to wear their hair longer at the end of the decade, but it was still groomed to stay off the ears. Some men also went for the longer, greased pompadour. Elvis Presley made this hairstyle famous in the 1950s.

SUMMARY: Wear a fitted suit. Ditch the hat. Pay attention to the trends for shirts. Know what pants were in fashion. Find the right shoes. Know the hairstyles for men.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you feel like you can only hang out with people if it's at a party or out at a nice dinner, you may limit the total amount of time you could be spending with people you enjoy. However, if you go out of your way to plan small 'dates' throughout the week with a variety of friends, you'll fill up your free time with socializing, which will practically remove loneliness from your life altogether. Going out with friends doesn't need to take much time or money. Whether you meet someone new at the coffee shop or you call up an old friend, try some of these easy 'date' ideas: Go for coffee or to a cafe Take a walk through a local park Run errands together (specifically with a close friend/family member) Cook a new recipe together Grab lunch during your break at work It's easy to feel lonely and overwhelmed when the future seems bleak and devoid of any plans. If you have something to look forward to - whether it be a big event or a meeting with someone you miss - you'll probably feel less lonely and more excited for what's to come. Take time to make a list of possible activities you might want to partake in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event to the fullest extent, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If you're able, include other people in the planning process and the final event for extra lonely-punching effect. Consider plans like: Going on a weekend trip to a new place Hosting a big dinner party or bonfire Going to a music festival or other related event If spending time out with friends or away from your home isn't an option for you, you might consider getting a pet to help fight loneliness. Studies have shown that people who have pets are much less likely to experience depression and loneliness than those who do not. Cats and dogs are generally considered the best pets for fighting loneliness, as they are happy to interact with you and enjoy physical contact (for the most part). Pets provide company and a good distraction from any negative feelings that may be bogging you down. Keep in mind that getting a pet is a big responsibility, and does require a large amount of time and care. If a dog or cat won't work for your lifestyle, birds and rodents are common pets that may also help. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all that is needed to freshen up your life and make you feel a bit happier. Not only that, but getting out and about exposes to you new opportunities for friends and hobbies. Keep in mind that just because you go out, doesn't mean you have to go out with people. You can conquer your loneliness even if you go out alone, so long as you are doing something you enjoy. Try going to a new cafe for work or studying, or simply visit your favorite part of the city. Becoming dependent on your bed or couch is a fast track to loneliness. Do your best to get out and try new things, even when all you may want to do is binge watch Netflix.

SUMMARY: Make small plans with friends, often. Make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. Consider getting a pet. Avoid staying at home all the time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One sign that a guy may like you is if he reacts to your posts on social media. He might do more than just "like" your updates. For example, he might comment on your posts or reply to things you upload, or he even may send you direct messages on social platforms. Look to see if he comments on other people's posts as well. If he comments frequently, this may just reveal that he is an avid social media user. However, if he rarely "likes" or comments on other posts, this is a sign that he might have feelings for you. After he publicly comments on one of your photos or posts, respond to him. If he is eager to start up a conversation with you this way, it may reveal that he likes you or at the very least enjoys messaging with you. For example, he may say "That is a great photo! Where are you?" You could respond by saying "I was in Vancouver last week. Such a beautiful city! Have you been?" If a guy you just met starts "liking" or commenting on old photos of you, this is a sign that he is interested. It means that he has spent time looking back through your old photos probably because he wants to know you better or he just enjoys looking at pictures of you! When a guy likes you, he will want to connect with you and follow you on a variety of different social media platforms. For example, he may add you to Facebook and Snapchat, and start following you on Twitter and Instagram. Adding you to a number of social media sites is likely a sign that he wants to look through your posts, photos, and selfies in an attempt to get to know you better.

SUMMARY:
See if he interacts with your posts. Reply to his comments. Notice if he comments on old pictures or posts. Check to see if he has added you on multiple social media platforms.
