Terms of Use


 

  • Mixing patterns (i.e. stripes and plaid, polka dots and seersucker, paisley and pinstripes).
  • Ankle boots with shorts.
  • Tailored shorts (Michael Cepress offers up a wonderful idea of using last season’s dress trousers and getting them altered–throw some cuffs on there and you have a gig).
  • Vests-for the truly adventurous try a double breasted version. Unique, controversial and utterly breathtaking if done correctly.
  • Ascots - "the dandy's talisman."
  • The more charms, necklaces and rings you own, the more effortless life will be.
  • Captain’s hat.
  • Scarves as headbands.
  • Dress like an animal whenever possible.
  • Craft your own style; get creative, weird, outlandish, foppish and ridiculous.
  • Cowboy boots and bow ties. Duh.
  • Explore new stores and neighborhoods; there are jewels to be found in unlikely places.
  • Don’t follow trends; or bourgeois fashion experts.
  • Suspenders and spats.
  • Dress up for every occasion, you never know.
  • Levis jean shorts - cut your skinny jeans into skinny shorts.
  • Find out your favorite color and what color looks best on you and coordinate them together.  You’ll feel tops and thank me later.
  • Dress for comfort. Dress for yourself and your own genius fashion style; if it truly is your style you'll be comfortable as the day you were born.
  • Jam some music when getting dressed or concocting an outfit; Rolling Stones are insisted.
  • Buy some custom clothes.
  • Summer suits.
  • Eliminate irony from your wardrobe.
