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.
