I was walking my dogs when I spotted these merry gents savoring a cigar in style in the park. They were celebrating their graduation from BU’s school of management. In the center is a great example of how to mix black and brown, our graduate is wearing a black suit, white shirt, and his wide [...]
On the left is what my client would wear to a concert or low key night out with the guys. The look he was going for was ‘casual cool’. One of the things he liked about the outfit was that it was easy to put together. Now while the basic white T and jean combination [...]
This before and after of my client is a great example of how to and how not to wear color. While the knits above are both purple, there is clearly a difference. On the left, this treacherous turtleneck is a bright purple, reminiscent of too many kid’s characters including Barney and Grimace. Combined with the [...]
Jeans can be either a blessing or a curse. Get a great fitting pair and they’ll magically transform nearly everything in your closet, but choose ill-fitting jeans and they wreak havoc on anything you wear with them. On the left is the Traditional cut jean, also known as the Classic fit. This cut balloons through the [...]
What’s wrong with pleated pants? The same thing that’s wrong bell bottoms, they’re outdated and play cruel visual jokes on the male physique. I have found even more proof that pleats are passe. 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 [...]
Buying clothing with prominent logos is the equivalent of working for someone else and then paying them for the privilege of doing so.

LED bras, only an appropriate gift if your valentine is a stripper. Otherwise, if you need that much help finding her breasts in the dark, you have no business touching them in the first place.
As Valentine’s Day approaches men are anxiously emailing me for gift ideas. Particularly in our current economic climate, some are concerned that if they don’t present their significant other with a bauble that depletes the remainder of their retirement account, she won’t be happy. While I applaud this commitment to love, what makes a good gift has nothing to do [...]
Earlier, I reveled in the one gift that warm weathers’ end brings us, Crocs put away for the season. But, alas, something else has taken their place in the, “Someone parted with perfectly good money to wear this?!” category. The soft goods answer to the Croc, the ubiquitous, horizontal striped shirt. Looks good on practically [...]
Any man who’s ever accidentally walked into the ladies room instantly understands how much more important good appearance is to women than men. In case you haven’t made that misstep lately – when’s the last time you saw a men’s room complete with potpourri, an assortment of grooming products, flowers, movie star lighting, and couches? Why [...]
