How to look like a million bucks without spending it.

Dressing well doesn't have to mean spending a fortune.

HERE'S

WHERE AND HOW TO SHOP,

THE ITEMS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS

BUY FOR LESS, AND THE 7

RULES THAT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER-DRESSED, MORE

COST CONSCIOUS MAN

1. Taste is more important than money.

2. That's not to say you shouldn't invest in your clothes. But men with real style know when to splurge and where to save.

3. Start at the best of the low cost, high style stores.

Big-name shops like H&M, J.Crew, and Uniqlo have never been so packed with legitimately cool stuff for men. But remember: Wear these labels your way; it's all about how you mix, match, and style the clothes. Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs, the maestros behind the real-guy style blog Street Etiquette, are better than anyone at giving affordable brands an injection of personality.

4. No matter how cool and cheap that leather jacket might be, if it's to big don't buy it.

5. Wearing high-end labels head to toe doesn't make stylish. It make you a mannequin.

6. Splurge on quality dress shoes. Take care of them and they'll last a lifetime.

7. Dressing well is not about labels - It's about developing personal style. And that's something you learn, not buy.



How to make your $200 suit look like $1,000?

1. You don't want baggy sleeves.

    Have them narrowed.

2. Take up the sleeves slightly so

    they hit right at the break of

    your wrist.

3. The jacket's too boxy if the

    sides hang straight down from

    your shoulders. Take it in at

    the torso so it hugs you clousely.

4. You want a narrow leg that falls

    straight down to your shoes.

    Take in the leg so there's no extra

    material, and shorten the pants so

    there's no break. That means the

    hem just barely touches the tops

    of your shoes.

Tip: Find yourself a great tailor. No one will help you get more value out of the clothes you just bought or already own. To find the best one in your neighborhood, get recommendations. Ask a couple of guys whose style you admire, and once you find the right tailor, learn to manage him. Do not let him tell you how much of break you want in your trousers. You're the boss.



Spring is Here.

Shirt > Keep It Simple
It's impossible to go wrong with a white dress shirt as long as it's crisp and fits perfectly.
Tie > Solid 
Leave the silk tie at home. Go for solid, cotton, cool.
Pocket Square > Straight 
No peaks, no poufs, keep it square and white.
Shoes > Go Dark
You can't really argue with black lace-ups. Ever. I hope you do own a pair, don't you?

Shirt > Gingham

Nothing says spring in a more stylish or refined way. 
Pocket Square > Pattern
First of all get a cotton pocket square. Think bandanna rather than silk kerchief.
Shoes > Brown
A khaki suit wants a pair of chocolate brown lace-ups.
