The Ten Essential Truths Of Men Style
19 Feb
1. Most people, most of the time, judge you by what you’re wearing, and if you care what other people think, you should care about what you wear. Life doesn’t get much simpler than that.
2. If you like something, RESPECT IT. Hang your pants. Roll your ties. Put shoe tress in your shoes. Oh, and wire hangers? The instruments of Beelzebub and, coincidentally, dry cleaners. Stick with wooden ones.
3. Pull yourself together ALWAYS. EVERYWHERE. Whether you’re going to the deli or on a date, every occasion has minimum standards. Try to meet them.
4. People who are slaves to matching ( e.g. belts to shoes, socks to trousers) are shallow and tend to lack in the friends department. Anyone points out that something doesn’t match? Punch him. That’ll teach him.
5. Learn to sew a button. It’s a life-changing skill that teaches you patience and the value of self-sufficiency. We cannot say the same about knitting.
6. Never attempt maintenance, home improvement, house moving, or gardening in any of your best pieces of clothing. You are only asking for trouble.
7. The best way to look effortless is to work hard at it.
8. Your posture is half the investment in buying a new suit. If you’re not going to stand up straight, you might as well wear a hefty bag.
9. Fit is the other half. Money is only a minor consideration.
10. Check your fly.
