If you’d like to wear a shirt but aren’t into dress shirts at all, you’re probably looking for a casual alternative. How about a military shirt?
When most men think about a military shirt, they imagine an ugly camouflage shirt. But today’s stylish military shirts are not like that at all. They have very good fabric and colors (as you are about to see).
So why are they still called “military” then? Well, they do keep some elements from the original models worn by the soldiers. One is the epaulets and the other is the front pockets.

Let’s face it: if you’re below 5 feet 8 inches tall (or 1.72 meters), you probably find it hard to find the right clothes for you. Making a lasting impression through the way you dress is harder because you often make compromises as to what clothes you buy. I understand your problem and I want to give you specific advice on how to solve it… for good.
If you read on the internet about this or that technique that makes you look taller, you’ll only be disappointed by the results. My approach is different: I’m going to give you ALL the techniques available and what I ask from you is simply to apply as many of them as you can.

One of the most appreciated pieces of clothing is, without a doubt, the tuxedo. On formal occasions, a lot of men proudly wear one to show class and style.
I’m not going to delve into the origins of tuxedos or the names under which they are know in different countries (or who refers only to the tuxedo jacket when they talk about tuxedos and who doesn’t). What I want to debate is whether or not a gray tuxedo is acceptable or not.

Tanning is one of those things that we’re thinking about all winter. Some of us are rather anxious for summer to come (yesterday was my first day of sunbathing for this year and I definitely couldn’t miss it). Like any other activity, suntanning involves certain risks that we can avoid if we know how.
First of all, let’s get something straight: there is no proof (so far) that tanning with a sunbed is riskier than tanning under the sun. If you have any, please post it below in a comment to let everyone know. The fact of the matter is both types of tanning can cause skin cancer if you’re not careful

Whether you spent all winter packing up muscles or not, summer is here and you’re probably dying to go to the pool. And, guess what? When you get there, you can’t wear any fancy blazers, no boat shoes that match your belt or t-shirt, no slim ties…
What can you do to be stylish at the beach? How do you hide your body’s flaws? I’m not a magician to give you a six-pack in a few seconds but I CAN tell you what swimsuit to wear.

Because summer is here, you need to wear socks that won’t make you feel like you’ve stepped into a sauna, instead of in your own shoes. When the heat is on, some even prefer not to wear any. Is this a good idea? Let’s see…
First of all, a known fact: feet are among the body parts that sweat the most. During the summer, the excessive heat accentuates this process. The resulting sweat the enters the shoes where, because of lack of ventilation, it creates an unpleasant smell.

A lot of guys have been around for a while on this blog. They come in, they love the info and the way it is presented, then decide it’s time to change their personal style and image. After about a month they ask me for some e-mail feedback and I can easily see the change is almost non-existent.
It’s not that I expect them to look like they’re on a catwalk 24/7. That’s too much even for me. But some basic stuff in their outfits is just not taken care of.

Shoes are expensive. You don’t get a pair every week and, for this reason, when you decide to take out your wallet, you have to be very well informed. If you bought them and after that you realize they’re a little too small (like a friend of mine recently had this happen), you end up giving them as a gift to someone else. Of course… you need to buy new ones for yourself.
A lot of people think shoes are the most important part of an outfit. The reason? If you’re wearing simple clothes but your shoes look great, you’ll create a much better impression than if you’re very elegant but your shoes are old or dirty.

When I was a child I thought celebrities dressed well because they had a lot of money. I mean, they have a whole team of fashion consultants behind them, right? They take care of every aspect of their image so they can look good not only in concerts and movies but also in their daily lives.
This is all over now. I know that if I use my head a little I can pick great clothes that not only look great but make me feel great. And how you feel is what matters.

Maybe an even better title for this article would be “How to Make Outstanding Impressions in Your Business Meetings”. French cuffs are perfect for such situations.
So what’s a french cuff?
Actually, before we answer this question, let’s answer another:
What’s a cuff?
A cuff is the bottom part of a men’s shirt. This area actually has a different feel to the touch because it has an extra layer of fabric. The purpose of this is two-fold: first, the cuff keeps the end of the sleeve tighter so it won’t slip over one’s hand. The other is that it prevents fraying.
