You may be shocked to know, but most of my clothing, I'd say at least 80%, comes from about five brands. I understand that this seems strange for a guy who works in clothing, but there’s a strategy behind it. Click through to find out why…

Today, we're going to do something fun— I’m going to walk you through a review/critique of an outfit photo sent to me by a client, explain what I look for when reviewing an outfit, and exactly how to fix it.

Even if you get help figuring out the right clothing, it should always be in the context of what works for you, not what works for them. That’s the difference between fashion and style : fashion is what they tell you to wear. Style is what you like to wear.

Everything you can think about can have accurate and visually pleasing proportions - Cars, homes, and even people's bodies and faces. Most guys can accurately spot proportions in many designs but don't think about it much when it comes to their outfits.

I often see men trying to diagnose why an outfit has gone wrong, but when they can't put their finger on it, it has something to do with proportion. Here's the key...

People Magazine recently reached out and asked me to provide readers with some guidance on important qualities to consider when choosing a quality rain jacket. While the article is geared toward women, we guys can follow this same advice that other experts and myself have put together for this year’s savvy shoppers.

In the last blog post, I gave you 5 items to add to your closet that stand the test of time. Today, I'm giving you the last 5. I truly believe with just a few good investments, your style can jump ahead light years (as long as the items fit you well and are of high quality, of course).

Here are the last five (out of ten) investments that I would make to elevate my style.

There are some items that just stand the test of time. I've been around this game for over a decade now, so I've seen what has stuck around. Some things you add to the closet are just simply good investments— the type you buy and hold for a long time. So, let's talk about some of those good investments. If I had to start over and could only own a handful of clothing items, here are five (out of ten) investments that I would make to elevate my style….

Shoes are one of those items it pays to invest in. Think about it - they're on your feet all day, so you need comfort; they are constantly in contact with the ground, getting beat up; and you only have a limited selection. Plus, shoes are one of those small details that can make or break an outfit.

When looking for the best, you want to go to specialists: Brands that are known for the type of product you're looking for and who have a long history of doing so. So let's get into it….

Many guys tell me when referring to themselves, "Oh, I don’t have style" or, "I’m not stylish." The problem here is these men are making style an internal problem rather than an external problem. They view it as an internal trait they lack rather than something external they can solve. Fortunately, your personal style is absolutely something you have the power to change for the better— click here to read more.

Many guys get stuck trying to figure out what to wear with what and can’t figure out how to pair colors together. I’ll give you an easy system to put into place that always ensures your colors pair correctly. It’s called the Pivot Color Triangle. Click to read more if you want to create simple stylish outfits.

If you’ve been paying attention to fashion for the last few years, or just happen to live in any major city, you’ll have noticed that both men and women are wearing looser, more relaxed fits of clothing these days.

This, I should add, shouldn’t mean much to you.

I’ve talked to thousands of guys about their style challenges over the last decade, and many tell me, "I just don’t know where to start." So today, we’ll go over how to build a simple wardrobe from scratch with ten items.

When you work with me, we get clothing based on your style, sizing, location, industry, coloring, etc.

This is more of a starter pack that applies to everyone. The goal is versatility. If we only have ten items, we have to make it all count. I've included a variety of brands for different price points, but never at the sacrifice of quality.

Linen is a natural fiber made from Flax. It's highly breathable, doesn't stick to your skin when you sweat, and it's a good conductor of heat and absorber of moisture.

It's been used in summer menswear for ages. Couple that with a crisp white color that reflects light and pairs with anything; you're good to wear a white linen shirt all season long. And you probably should.

This is actually a piece that you can dress up or down to a certain extent either way.

The more I’ve worked with men over the past decade, the more I’ve realized that a stylish closet is like an ecosystem.

Let’s use an example of an ecosystem most people know - a garden. Having a good-looking garden is nearly the same as having a good-looking closet.

A good garden doesn’t just develop overnight. There are some steps you take to cultivate something you can enjoy over time. Click here to read more about how to do the same for your closet.

CNN recently reached out and asked me to provide readers with some summer staples this year.

The majority of my clients first come to me saying something like, "I can never find anything that fits right." So let's talk about why you might be getting clothing that doesn't fit you well.

One of the most common questions I get asked by guys is: "How do I choose frames that look good on me"?

Whether it's regular frames you need for distance, readers, or a great pair of shades, guys are typically lost when it comes to what looks best on them. To help illustrate, I've made you a short video that gets right to the point of how to do it

I believe you should wear whatever the hell you want as long as it makes you look good and feels comfortable to you. But, what our little style grommet doesn't understand is that dressing UP does not equal dressing WELL.

Let’s go over some tips and things to think about with fragrance to make sure you're getting the most out of things, as well as some of my top picks that you can try yourself instead of spending hours guessing.

When first getting into dressing well, men typically go through a lot of purchasing to try and find what they like. You need to take aim. You need direction. Learn how developing your own Style Counsel can help to give you that direction.
