Just like the title says, linen will help you feel cool… literally. We all know that linen allows for better air circulation but how many of us have intentionally looked for it when shopping?

Most clothes nowadays are either cotton, polyester, or a combination of both. Finding a linen shirt or – God forbid – a linen suit is more like trying to find the Rosetta Stone.

OK, now you’re probably asking yourself: why on earth should I waste my time looking for linen garments when I could just as easily get them in cotton and get it over with? Cotton is also a natural fiber, what’s wrong with that?

Hey guys,

Since I get a lot of emails with questions I figured I’d share my answers with all of you. Who knows, maybe you have the same question on your mind but didn’t take the time to ask it.

Let’s start with a question form Joe:

We keep saying that brands don’t matter that much when it comes to style but thing’s aren’t exactly that way. With clothing and accessories, as with everything else, when you’re willing to pay more , you get superior quality.

Rolex is one of those brands. Now, I know what you’re thinking: Rolex watches are downright expensive.

There is another way. If you’d rather pay a lot less for a pre-owned Rolex rather than getting a no-name for the same amount of money, BobsWatches.com offers a platform for Rolex owners to buy and sell these timeless pieces.

If you’re bored tying the same tie knot every morning, I have an amazing knot for you that I’m sure you’ll love. The Eldredge Knot is, without a doubt, harder to pull but the results are stunning.

This is a wide knot so, to pull it off you need a shirt with wide spread. To make it look good you need a patterned tie and… lots of practice.

Here’s a list of the best youtube videos I found. I’m putting more of them in case they get pulled down as time goes by. It’s always safe to have backup videos that work.

I bet you can’t wait to take out your moccasins, shorts and the rest of your summer clothes, right? So do I. But, in the meantime, let’s enjoy spring and the unlimited layering opportunities it brings.

So if you enjoy mixing timeless garments with bold colors and patterns, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in what follows.

Enjoy!

We start off with an amazing outfit from Leon from Germany.

There’s just something about an outfit that has drops of color. Maybe it’s the union between classy and boldness that’s so attractive.

Nevertheless, the more ways to introduce drops of colors into our day-to-day outfits the better. One of those ways is represented by, of course, colored watches. We talked about the basics of men’s watches a while back, if you think you need to focus on the nitty-gritty.

That being said, let’s see some of Jack Spade‘s colored watches.

Although one of the main benefits of dressing stylishly is more success with women, it has come to my attention that a lot of men who have nothing to do with style are growing blogs and info products with the intent to many money from gullible style newbies.

While there’s nothing wrong with marketing, I advise you to be extremely careful on what you’re buying off the Internet.

Most of these guys do dress a little above average at best. This is by far not enough to make lasting impressions with women. It’s not even close the the outfits that I recommend, which are edgy yet not too far-fetched.

Since spring is already upon us, you’re probably thinking of new ways to bring some fresh air into your outfits. And what better time there is to go shopping for clothes than spring?

Unfortunately most of the collections, as always, aren’t that “wearable”, but, nevertheless, you can find inspiration is some of these outfits if you already have the basics down.

Gucci

Let’s start off with a designer house that I’ve always enjoyed, although some of these outfits I would never wear.

Still, some of the other collections are way more crazy than this one. Enjoy!

It’s a fact that style, when used properly, can make a huge difference when it comes to your appearance. If you’ve seen before and after pictures of some of the style transformations (either here or on other websites) that are happening over night with guys, you know the dramatic difference it can make.

One of the tougher challenges I’m often faced to solve for guys is that of height. Being short sucks, I’m not gonna lie about it. Even I, despite my average height, sometimes wished I was taller.
