Remember the Star Trek Enterprise’s deflector shields? What if you could use a bit of that technology in your shirts? On a recent styling trip to Austin, Texas I discovered just such dress shirts at the luxury menswear shop, Keepers. Granted these may not stop a Romulan laser blast but they do completely repel more [...]
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 [...]
If a blue shirt & khakis is the boring uniform of business casual, its Luke Wilson off-hours equivalent is the untucked dress shirt & jeans. Here’s how to take this casual pairing from “Eh.” to “Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?” with some easy adjustments.

It used to be the case that specific clothing items were “in” or “out” of fashion with everything supposed to be worn a particular way, and being in style meant following those rules.

Q: I want to get a monogrammed dress shirt for my boyfriend, where should the letters go? A: Typically the monogram is applied to the cuff, the upper left chest (like a Polo logo); and for the guy who enjoys having his dress shirts personalized but doesn’t like visible embroidery, it can sewn to the [...]
If there’s one thing retailer H&M does exceptionally well, it’s quickly bring spot-on trends to market at affordable price points (albeit dubious quality, but therein lies the eternal trifecta conundrum - you can have it cheap, fast, or good.

Q: I see plaid everywhere now and I like the look, but not sure if I can wear it to work even though our office is business casual. Ideas? A: You don’t have to be a farmer to pull off wearing plaid to work, especially in a business casual setting. The shirt Lebron James wore for his most [...]
