Q: 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.
A: 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.

Article: If you are unhappy in a relationship, ending it quickly may rob you of the possibility to get to the root of the problem. It can take months to figure out if your partnership can improve or not. In some cases, it might make sense to detach emotionally for a short period, while staying in the relationship. For instance, you might detach if your relationship has soured due to a recent change in you and your partner's routine. You might both just need time to readjust. If you and your significant other are constantly at odds, or in an on-again-off-again pattern, consider detaching. When tensions die down, both of you can reach a better decision about whether or not the relationship should continue. Don't detach before you have tried seriously to fix the issues in your relationship. Detachment should only be employed if you are on the verge of breaking up. If you live together, have a child, or own a pet, a home, or business, you will need to remain physically present and attentive. Detaching emotionally means holding back emotionally from the relationship for a while, but you can still share labor and everyday activities with your partner. If you and your partner do not share responsibility for a child, another dependent, a pet, a home, or business, you may have the option of taking physical time apart. Take a business trip or a vacation by yourself, or with a group of non-intimate acquaintances, such as a hiking group. Don't announce your plans to detach, but if asked, say that you are thinking about the relationship and focusing on yourself for a while. You may not want to use the word "detach" or "disengage" unless that is the language you and your partner already share. Instead, say you need time to focus on a project you have, on getting right with yourself, or on work. It is unfair to your partner if you expect emotional support from them while simultaneously withholding your emotions from them. It will also make it hard for you to stay disengaged. Rely on your friends and family for advice and socialization. Confide in friends and family that are your own, rather than yours and your partner's. In your time detached, focus on figuring out your feelings. What do you need to change in your relationship? What of your needs are unmet? It may help to talk to a therapist. This is a time of sorting through your own feelings, not criticizing your partner. Abstain from sexual contact during this time. If you have realized that you want to stay in the relationship, you may have to woo your partner back. He or she may feel hurt and abandoned by your detachment. Explain that you were afraid of breaking up and that you were trying to cool off and not make a rash decision. Make an honest attempt to state your needs and listen to the needs of your partner. If you have decided that your relationship is over, use the perspective gained in your detachment to compassionately end your relationship.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Decide if detachment is appropriate. Detach without neglecting shared responsibilities. Take physical space. Explain to your partner that you need to focus on yourself for a while if you are asked. Get support from friends. Focus on getting in touch with yourself. Decide what's next.

Q: Taking large tasks and breaking them down into smaller, more manageable action steps can help you beat your anxiety related procrastination. Breaking the task down can make the task seem less overwhelming, which can help you feel less anxious about getting it done. For instance, you can break a report for work down into researching it, writing it, and editing it. Or, you might break a school paper into the introduction, main points, and conclusion. Then work on completing one section rather than the whole thing. It can be especially helpful to set goals when you have anxiety because your anxiety can make it difficult for you to focus on and complete activities. Some research suggests that doing things like setting goals and deadlines for your tasks can help you beat procrastination. Setting goals gives you something concrete, self-defined, and manageable that you can do. Create specific goals with deadlines for the things you need to get done. For instance, you might say, "I will finish cleaning my room by 10 PM." Make your goals realistic. For example instead of setting a goal to finish a 10-page report in one day, set a goal to finish the first two pages in one day. Setting goals that are too difficult can actually increase your anxiety rather than reduce it. It may seem like a good idea to keep 'plugging at it' once you start working so that you don't lose your steam and start procrastinating. But, taking a break to de-stress, relieve tension, and recharge your brain and body is a better way to address your anxiety and your anxiety related procrastination. Take a five minute break when you complete one of the action steps for your task. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and just take a few minutes to be still and quiet. When you complete a task or reach one of the goals that you have set for yourself, you should congratulate and encourage yourself with a small reward. Incentives can help motivate you as well as give you incentive to meet other goals. For instance, when you complete one of your action tasks, you might treat yourself to a piece of candy or a 5-minute break to play one of your favorite online games. Or, for example, you might treat yourself to the new shoes you've been eyeing when you finish a major report on time. It can be easy to beat yourself up when you procrastinate on doing something. Some evidence suggests, though, that doing this may make it more likely that you will procrastinate again. Instead, give yourself a break and forgive yourself if you procrastinate because of your anxiety. Remind yourself that procrastinating doesn't make you a lazy or bad person. You might say, "I procrastinated on this, but it doesn't mean I'm not a hard worker." Reduce some of the pressure on yourself by saying things like, "I didn't start on time for this assignment, but I'm not going to beat myself up. I can and will do better next time."
A:
Break your tasks down. Set goals. Take a break. Reward yourself. Forgive yourself.
