less about the actual clothes and more about the psychology behind getting dressed for your occupation. the two are closely tied (had to, sorry) and once you understand “why,” the “how” becomes a joy instead of a burden.

for a bit, i also did what paul feig mentions around the shift to casual in the office. on fridays, casual fridays, i wore full suit. it probably annoyed the crap out of people but what’s better than ending a week feeling good about yourself and the work you did that day?

With all due respect, you can hold on to your skinny jeans, narrow ties, and shrunken suits. The substantial gentleman prefers spread collars, tweed sport coats, brogue wingtips, and timepieces that compliment our large forearms. We like our jeans relaxed, but not baggy. Our ties are substantial enough to support a well dimpled half windsor. Trends are fine, but we prefer a style that is classic and functional.

You are being lied to: Crocs are disgusting

When I spot someone wearing crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common and that we could never be friends or have nay meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every conceivable color imaginable but look bad with every other article of clothign ever created. Come to think of it,…

Sinatra's Rules

bunch:

1. It takes two hands to put on a hat the right way: Back brim curled up, front tugged down to a couple of inches above the right brow.
2. Never wear brown at night. Never.
3. There’s no excuse for brown shoes past sundown…. Or white shoes. Or anything gray, unless it’s deep charcoal. Or blue, unless it’s midnight blue. In fact, let’s keep it simple: after dark, men should wear black.
4. Ties should be silk. And conservative.
5. Cuff links always. But leave the fancy jewelry to Sammy.
6. When dressing formally, a vest is better than a cummerbund.
7. Don’t wear a tuxedo on Sunday.
8. Having messy closets is like putting on clean clothes over dirty underwear.
9. The shower is a great place to steam out the wrinkles in your dinner jacket.
10. Orange is the happiest color.
11. Don’t hide your scars. They make you who you are.
12. When it comes to pockets, everything should have its own place.
13. A pocket handkerchief is essential, but it needs to be perfectly folded.
14. Shine your shoes.
15. Trim. Buff. Clean.
16. Take your hand off the suit, creep.
