Dapper Day is the best bi-annual event of the year. It’s a day where you get to show up to the Disneyland park instyle, whether its vintage or modern! As expected, Spencer and I strolled around in our vintage outfits. Last time, we styled ourselves with the sharp peak lapels of the 1930’s, but this time we went 10 years later as the more laid back and swingin’ 1940’s.
I’m going to start a new feature: reviews! I’ll talk about my latest purchase and throw on a quick outfit to show it off! So for my first review I give you the Nike Killshot by J. Crew. Read More
Before airplanes and road trips took over America, the cruise was the premier vacation. You get to sail to exotic places while dining with the captain, play shuffleboard with your neighbors, or simply take a stroll on the deck to gaze upon the starlight reflected on the sea. Back then, passengers didn’t wear oversized hawaiian shirts or lengthy board shorts. In the 1930s, people wore their very best while on vacation. They had casual jackets and pants that today would look too dressy, for even the office. Keeping with tradition, Spencer and I wore our Sunday best for a little Art Deco cruise on the grand Queen Mary. Read More
Recently I was invited to a dinner party hosted by my good friend Spencer. Unlike most parties, this one came with a dress code: wear a smoking jacket. So Jay, Spencer, and I crafted some unique and classy outfits to show to you guys today! All featuring the seldom worn smoking jacket.
I hope this will be a short article because I tend to see guys tie their necktie wrong.
Even if you’ve got a great outfit, your tie knot can make or break it. Read More
As I’ve admitted many times before, I have not always dressed well. In fact, it took me halfway into my first year at college for me to start wearing button up shirts (that didn’t fit). What inspired me to dress well was looking at the guys on campus who looked like I wanted to look. They walked around with confidence, each having their unique outfit that made them special. I was jealous! I craved to the ability to look good and not just wear shorts and a tee everyday. Eventually I realized that I should stop wanting to dress like them; I should just do it. Read More
For those of you who don’t know, lapels are the collar-like part of your suit jacket or blazer. Just like ties, shirts, and fabrics, lapels are another way for you to be different and show off your personality, since lapels come in a variety of styles. In this article, we’re going to look at some of these styles so you can find the ones you like!
Let’s end the week with some great styles from my friends! There’s a variety of different styles here along with a very special guest! Read More
I’ve been waiting a long time to talk about what I believe is the most abused and incorrectly worn pieces of menswear. Guys have worn tie bars in an attempt to look classy ever since Mad Men revived the modern suit look seven years ago. Many times, guys fail because they simply don’t know how a tie bar is supposed to work. That’s where my article comes to the rescue.
