I get a lot of questions about "capsule" or "core" wardrobes. While everyone needs different things, there are some staples you should have in your closet. Today, we're going to discuss jackets and the types you want to have in your closet.

Guys always tell me one of their biggest struggles is pairing outfits. There are multiple ways to pair things together, and when you know what works for you and why, things become REALLY easy. Here is the framework I use with clients when they're just getting their feet wet.

Summer is a different story. Guys ask me all the time, "How do I dress for the summer?". It's a good question. The heat and humidity don't allow you to do much, but there are plenty of ways to still look incredibly stylish during the summer.

Below, I've put together a few rapid-fire tips that can help you look a bit better now that we're in the warmer months...

Guys often have a lot of trouble pairing items together. They'll get hung up on lots of things, but when you're pairing outfits, you only need to pay attention to a few key points.

I often hear guys say they "just want to shop for a handful of good outfits," thinking that if they have all their closets paired off into little sections of outfits, their style woes will vanish.

Read on to learn why shopping for a complete outfit is one of the worst things you can do when developing your closet, and I see this mistake all the time.

Guys, including myself, love a deal. This is why most men's default mode is to shop for clothing on sale. But if a guy only buys clothing on sale, I can usually tell right away he's not going to have great style. I share how you can still have great style and find some good deals while you’re at it.

The most common questions I get asked pertain to pairing outfits.

"What would go with this?", "Can I wear this with that?", "How would all this work together?"

For whatever reason, a mental block exists for most men when it comes to putting items together. This trouble pairing and creating outfits can be easily alleviated with the right frameworks. You can make pairing incredibly easy. Here's how.

Outfit congruency. Heard of it? Neither have I. 

I’m fairly certain I invented the term.

Outfit congruency is the way all the pieces you're wearing should work in harmony to create an ideal outfit. These items could work together in terms of fit, color, texture, or just their general “vibe”. Ideally, they'll work together in more ways than one. 

So last week I wrote about some common beginner style mistakes I see a lot and what you can do to fix them. This list is not exhaustive and there is much more to be covered.

This week, I wanted to go a little more in-depth and cover some more style mistakes, particularly for the man that already has a handle on the basics.

Once you've got the fundamentals covered, it's time to really dial in your style. Read on to see more men's style mistakes you should avoid.
