Not one guy I've ever met says, "Oh, everything fits me perfectly." So, if you feel that way, don't worry - you're in good company; everyone feels this way. Today, we'll talk about how to get stuff to fit you correctly, as there are only a handful of ways to do it.

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...

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.

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.
