| SHIRTS >>> AT THE OFFICE | ||||
|
Get some short sleeve numbers. They work great in the summer, and you can still sport a tie with them! |
 |
You also will need at least a couple long
sleeve shirts, straight collar or oxford. Blue and white, please. |
|
|
A great polo is always a classy way to end the week on a casual Friday. Remember, if you are trying to hide a few pounds, avoid a polo like this, and go for vertical lines. |
|
Don't forget your classy ties now! You can tell the difference between someone who has to wear and tie, and someone who wants to wear a tie. |
|
| PANTS >>> TWO ESSENTIALS | ||||
|
I can't say enough about a pair of boot-cut khakis. They just look great. Straight or wide leg, boot-cut, non-pleated please. Fun Fact- The word "Khaki" is derived from an old Hindu word which meant "of sand color". |
|
Okay, your father's jeans sucked. So did
your uncle Gary's (you know, the so called "lady's
man" in the 80's). Now a days, we are talking wider leg, boot-cut, with a vintage, faded look. You better stay away from a tapered leg. It just looks awful, people. |
|
| ACCESSORIES >>> MAKE THE MAN | ||||
|
The only (in my eyes) acceptable piece of
jewelry a man can own, other then a wedding ring, is a
watch. I suggest you shop at www.fossil.com for one. |
|
Yeah, smoking is a bad habit... an even
worse one, carrying around an ugly Bic. Get a Zippo. Very Cary Grant. |
|
|
Now if you insist on having a wallet, make
sure you purchase one with a vintage look, and it has to
be thin. No Cumbersome wallets. |
|
You need a vintage pair of sun glasses. Go classic, you don't want a pair that every seventeen year old is wearing in the mall's food court. |
|
| HEALTH & BEAUTY>>> LOOK YOUR BEST | ||||
|
Moisturizers have such wonderful benefits. Your face feels healthy, looks healthy and young, and this brand even has SPF 15. I apply twice a day. |
|
Shaving every weekday of your life takes
it's toll. Try an aftershave cooling balm. Look at the bright side, at least it reads "For Men" on the box. |
|
|
Try using a pomade, such as Polish up, or
Manuever. Hairspray is only damaging your hair, and gel looks so wet and slobbish. Or, try a wax, paste, or cream. It couldn't hurt. |
|
Last, but not least, find yourself some
distictive cologne. Spring & Summer usually boasts clean, citrius scents. *General Rule- Light spray, about half an hour before meeting someone. |
|
| CATION>>> THINGS TO AVOID! | ||||
|
Don't ever let me catch you wearing this
stuff. Come on, you can do better. |
|
LA Looks. Yeah, it's cheap (like a dollar must places). And there's a lot in a bottle. What does that say? |
|
|
Just don't wear tapered leg jeans. The only thing I hate worse then pleating is a tapered leg, people. |
 |
For some reason, they keep making ugly
sunglasses. For some other reason, people still buy them and think they are cool. I don't get it. |
|
|
Boy, do I hate Taz ties. |
