Q – My girlfriend hates how I dress. I’ve been having nightmares about going to her folks home for Thanksgiving. She says when they say casual, it’s not my version of casual (jeans and tshirt). I need a little guidance please! A – I get this question almost daily around the holidays and have come [...]
So you’ve been invited to an event and the invitation reads “Dress To Impress”. Hmmm, sometimes you’re impressed that you remembered pants that day, so does that count? Here’s some helpful guidelines to dispel the mystery. Starting with the shoes and working our way up, here’s what should (and shouldn’t) be on your body. Shoes [...]

On a recent shopping adventure I searched the racks to find some pleated pants to photograph and found only a few available. In their place were [...]
Last night’s shopping trip with a client led to several men’s style “pearls of wisdom” I have to separate the experience into sections. He was generous enough to let me take some photos of him sporting men’s common fashion mistakes. Note that he did this in the interest of improving the lot of his fellow man, a truly noble [...]
It’s easy to see where the confusion comes from, business casual is a misnomer. Business implies seriousness, casual implies, well, not. There is no clear definition, no step by step game plan, and ample room to make the wrong choices in front of your boss. The following should take the ambiguity out of business casual [...]
