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.
A lot of guys make the misconception that all suit (or dress pants) are the same. They believe that these pants are always thick and itchy, which leads to men not dressing very well during the summer. I’ve seen so many guys in shorts and sandals that it makes me sick! Hot weather doesn’t give you an excuse to dress badly. Sure you don’t have to wear a jacket or suit all the time, but pants are required in almost any situation. So in this post, I’m going to talk about a few pairs of pants that I love wearing in the summer because they look great and they’re freaking comfortable as hell. Apparently men prefer comfort over style, so why can’t you have both? Read More
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.
We currently live in a world of fast fashion: Cotton On, H&M, and Forever 21 seem to have sales everyday, fashion bloggers feature their latest finds, and Goodwill attendance has grown. While I think it’s great that style is now in the hands of the everyman, I sincerely believe that people are being taken advantage of. People assume that being into “fashion” means you’re blindly following the latest trends and becoming slaves to the constant sales. I’m here to tell you that’s not the case.
It’s about dang time I talked about this. You’d think I wouldn’t have to dedicate an entire post to this but I guess I’m going to have to. In this article we explore just how you’re supposed to button your suit jacket or blazer. It’s really simple.
a little bit of rest
