How to wear the correct sleeve length of your suit?

Different people make different choices, but everybody should let their sleeves of the shirt pop out a little bit. How much exactly? That is where you can let your creativity kick in. You should always take two aspects in account; the sleeve length of your shirt and the sleeve length of your suit.

A sleeve is defined as something that covers your arm, not your arm and hand. From this basic principle, we can continue our story.

Cardigans have become really fly in the last couple of years. Some time before, our snazzy grandpa’s would wear them around the house. They are easier than sweaters to put on and off since you merely have a few buttons to take care off.

How to tie a tie, the Neapolitan style [video]

Posted by Lance Miller On April - 27 - 2010

This movie shows you how to tie a tie the Neapolitan style. The Neapolitan style is my personal favorite because it is quite sophisticated and looks great, especially with two dimples. You may chose to either create one or two dimples just below the knot in the tie.

How to fold a pocket square Video Part 6; Reversed-Puff

Posted by Lance Miller On April - 21 - 2010

The reversed-puff style of wearing a pocket square is one of my favorites. It is very simple to do, and you can style it in whichever way you like. Depending on my mood and what I wear, I decide to make the puff come out more or less. Oger models are commonly spotted wearing their pocket squares in this style.

How to dress on Casual Friday?

Posted by Bobby Humphrey On January - 20 - 2010

Casual Fridays & Smart Casual

This morning I spoke to a friend on the phone and we talked about his profession. He works in the pharmaceutical business.  As a product manager, he wears suits every day (he loves to wear suits). He told me that you could really see the difference between the suits and style of product managers and product-group managers. The difference in job level is also reflected in the style of the outfit; the product-group managers try to look better than the product managers. Why can’t we all look great at entry-level? There is however a day in the weekly life of people were they can be themselves: the Casual Friday (or Dress-Down Friday). Unless you have important meetings, most companies allow you to dress more casual as a first step into the weekend.

How to wear a hat with your suit

Posted by Bobby Humphrey On January - 6 - 2010

Hard hat vs Soft hat

As a younger lad, I have always worn baseballcaps to prove my support to my favorite team. They kept my head warm and just like superdandy Beau Brummel, I never took off my hat ’cause it would ruffle my ruffled hairdo. As the weather is getting colder outside, I long for something that can keep my head warm and looks better than the average sailors bonnet.
