Proper fit is the single most important thing you can do to immediately improve your appearance. This goes for *all* body types.
Regardless of the amount you spend on your clothes, if you do not have the proper fit you will look like an idiot. Here are some basic lessons on how to ensure this doesn’t happen. We cover you from your swim suit to your tie.
If you couldn’t tell I love ties; there’s just something about them. Whether paired with jeans or a suit, I love the contrast that that little bit of color affords. It’s arguably the most masculine article of clothing you can wear regularly (spurs don’t count). And as a man’s style should be generally subtle, the…Read the Rest
Fit rules for purchasing a suit are covered, such as: shoulder width, proper buttoning procedure, sleeve length, and torso shape. Tips for particular body types are also highlighted.

Here’s a mental image: you see a guy suited-up in the perfect suit, shirt and tie combo. Pants with the perfect break and width.…Read the Rest
I’m consistently amazed as to how often guys neglect to wear pants that fit them properly. Ill-fitting pants may even beat out ugly shoes as the most common mistake made by guys. I’m curious as to if this is because most guys don’t own a full-length mirror and rely upon their bathroom mirror that only…Read the Rest
For Lesson 1 I’m going to borrow an image from the most recent Johnston & Murphy catalog to help punctuate my point about how a shirt should fit (for now, ignore the ugliness of the shirt).
