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 [...]
Every year as the Northeast gets served up heaps of slush and muck my inbox overflows with requests for waterproof shoe recommendations that are specifically appropriate for city wear. Since bulky winter boots can be hard to stomach for those wanting to stay stylish in inclement weather I’ve lovingly put together this quick menu of Emmi Approved waterproof shoes, in an assortment of flavors for a variety of tastes. 1. The Basic [...]
You know those typically cheesy movie trailers in which the impossibly rich, deep, velvety male voice attests, “Every once in a while a movie comes along, that completely changes your life …” Well, replace movie with shoe. Yes, shoe. That’s what I was hearing in my head when I first laid my eyes on these bad boys. Hunting for [...]
Trend #1: No Rules. 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.

As we all know when it comes to networking first impressions are key and often determine the quality of connections you make. Remember, you get only one shot to come across as confident and competent. Your goal is to make people want to get to know you better after the initial meeting. Personality and interpersonal communication [...]
New England in January/February isn’t exactly known for good ground conditions. Mounds of dirty snow, black ice walkways and slush moats can be the kiss of death for your footwear. Here’s a way to protect your shoes from the elements all winter long. The NEOS nylon overboot slips over any mens shoe. They’re seam sealed, [...]
One of the most common seasonal complaints I hear from men is that during the sleety and snowy months of winter they have no shoe option to wear with suits other than galoshes. One client shared with me that he used to cover his dress shoes with large plastic bags and rubber band them at [...]
Who doesn’t love being put on the spot? I attend more than a fair share of events in Boston and, without fail, at least once a week I am approached by a guy wearing ill-fitting or completely dated clothing who, upon learning that I am a men’s image consultant, will stand with peacock pride in [...]
Men’s styles are continuing to trend towards tailored and structured looks, and outwear is no exception. This means reserve puffy jackets and pull over fleece for your man-out-in-the-woods-adventures. Covering your great outfit with a bulky, busted jacket is like wrapping a Rolex in a McDonald’s bag. There are tons of fall jacket options out there, from military inspired [...]
