When you see people out and about, is it their “style” that catches your eye before their looks?

I think a combination of the two catches my eye. I love a well dressed, neat man.

To me fashion isn’t necessarily about being up on the latest trends, it’s more about wearing your clothing respectively, being neat in your appearance and definitely not mixing polka dots with stripes.

Simple – The reasons I say men don’t know how to dress run the gamut, including what you said. Too many to list. Choice of fabric and poor to no tayloring. Bad fit. Not knowing what patterns or colors to put together. 40 years old and still dressing like a teenager. 40 years old and don’t own at least one suit or a sport jacket. No real sense of style. The list goes on. Some are worse offenders than others.

As long as a guy doesn’t embarass me, I’m cool though. I am a little bougie, I admit it, but as long as he is neat, clean and appropriate I can deal with him. Just too often though, clothes and appearance can cause people to make snap judgements that may or may not be true. He could be a really nice, smart guy but if he rolls up looking like a thug, he may get treated as such. That would be unfortunate, but that’s life.

Fashion! That’s a laugh.

People think they’re fashionable and show up in a suit like Steve Harvey — what a clown outfit — or a dress like the Williams sisters, or some kind of slutwear — and think they look fashionable. Others think tucking in their shirt or (gasp!) wearing slacks, a sports coat or a suit is too much of a bother due to perception of comfort. Droopy pants or black-specific brands, I won’t even start.

Dress conservatively. Don’t show a lot of skin, male or female. Men should buy clothes where everything goes with everything else; that lends itself to conservative color schemes and a general lack of prints and patterns. For instance, the crisp white dress shirt is fine with slacks of any color or jeans, with or without a jacket. Wear sneakers only if participating in sports, tge Italian slippers just make you look gay, dress shoes are ones that you can polish. Purple shirts and flowers aren’t really that good a look for you, except the occasional tropical shirt and khakis or shorts at a barbecue.

As for women, no man is going to even try to tell a woman that her fashion sense is lacking. “Do these jeans make me look fat” is but a corollary to a broader concept of just saying something, anything positive about what she’s wearing. If it’s too awful, just skip it, or skip the girl.

Most guys don’t need a tailor-made suit. Off the rack and let the tailor make it fit right — that’ll do. Suit colors should be black and gray only, 2 or 3 button; a navy blazer; a few sports jackets. Polished loafers or oxfords, white shirts only with a suit! (puh-leeze… no pink or blue shirts…) and wear a tie. A suit or jacket looks stupid without a tie. If you’re going to do it, do it. If you must wear a jacket without a tie, have a button-down collar.

Black and GRAY only for suits, never a brown suit. Brown is bad; navy blue maybe, but navy works better in a blazer and contrasting pants, which should only be gray or khaki.

On topic,

Black and Gray suits should be staple in a man’s closet. White button down are a given however, a blue shirt breaks the monotony of just wearing white it just needs to be appropriate for the suit. I own a pink and lavender (or lilac) dress shirts that look good with gray dress pants, add a matching tie and you are set.

Good Morning All,

On-Topic..I have always been drawn to guys that were geeky, nerd, with a hint of roughneck. So jeans..t-shirt..excuse me clean t-shirt..or button down with khaki pants..works well for me. No sagging pants, and other foolishness going on. Now what to wear..based on where we are going…you don’t need a 3 piece suit to eat a burger.

I am not a fashionista..I dress based on what is comfortable for me. I am not about keeping up with the lastest trends and colors.. I buy what matches my skin tones. Reds, Oranges, Black/White..etc. Now I have a thing for purses. I love them..and I am a bit of a purse snob…as for shoes..because I have a hard to find size I have never been one for buying and storing shoes. One of my other weakness is jewelry! Not traditional looking stuff..I like the exotic and different pieces. QVC hems me up good with some of their artisan silver jewlery.

abc is talking about the basics you would normally sugest to someone who will only buy 1 or 2 suits… Any man who has learned how to dress with class can deviate from those guidelines. Its sort of like the speed limit, when you learned to drive you were expected to follow the speed limit, but as you grow more experienced you find that you can safely travel above 55/65 mph and still avoid tickets.

I have to wear suits every day, and I would die if I had to wear a black or grey suit and a white shirt every day. They sell striped shirts, blue shirts and brown & blue suits in very upscale and conservative haberdasheries/tailor shops for a reason…(although I agree that there is no reason to ever wear a pink shirt and yes, wear a tie unless you are wearing a button down collar)

If you are a banker or a man who can’t match his clothes and/or has no sense of what patterns can be worn together then you should follow abc’s rules to be safe…LoL

No, only wear a white shirt with your navy suit. I suppose some chicks will buy you a pale blue shirt to go with it, so then wear that… but otherwise, just a white shirt with a suit.

If you wear a striped shirt, you have to wear a solid tie. A solid tie with a solid suit makes it more difficult to get colors to go together, and typically, a man doesn’t want to stand around holding ties up to this or that. A striped or patterned tie against a striped or patterned shirt is just a mess.

Simple Man, think of it like this, then: do you want to have a professional appearance, or not? What I’m talking about is a conservative and professional look, not affected by fashion trends. A man’s professional appearance (or one appropriate for a play, the symphony, dinner at Canoe or Bones/Chops, etc.) isn’t affected by fashion trends any more than a tuxedo’s appearance has changed in the past 60 or more years — other than length of tail, width of collar, number of buttons, or superficial modifications like that.

To each his own, of course. Frankly, professional or semi-formal/formal attire is probably an area not many people have an awareness of these days.

If you have rolls, do not wear clothes that show them now wear clothes that show your undergarmets. If they are saggy please wear a bra. Polyester or florescent colors are not in great taste IMO.

Dan – I think I saw the commercial for male spanx on telemundo. I don’t speak spanish (just watch a few of the shows I can guess my way through), but from what I could gather, they’re made so a woman can’t tell…even when we do that hug followed by a hand graze across the chest check.

Dirty D, foundation CAN hide spots

@PK that is why I said concealers and everything else. You do know foundation is in the same category? I don’t do foundation I use a red sponge with a little press powder to keep the shine down. That is why I said basic make-up, because basic make up does not add coverage there is a difference. I know the levels of make-up from my modeling days.

i’m swiss – spanks (spanx) are a thin girdle type get up you wear under your clothes to smooth out your look (lumps, rolls, crinkles). Some look like a tank top or biking shorts or leggings.

Jo — Actually, I’m just messing w/ you… I knew what you meant by the Ren Fair garb. Actually had a roommate in college who was into that (along w/ his then GF, now wife). Good times, if you’re a b00b man. Me, I’m more a b00ty man & those big, poofy dresses hide too much of the b00ty for my taste…

Also — and nothing personal, just a preference here — but I’m just not that attracted to white chicks. And I haven’t seen much color in the Ren Fair get-ups.

Anyone familiar with the “Gathering of the Juggalos”? They kicked Tila Tequila’s butt while she was performing. They threw feces from a porta-john and bottles. She had a cut up face and feces all over her. Also, when security tried to hide her in her trailor they attacked it as well. On the other day while Method Man was performing they cracked him in the face with a beer bottle. Juggalos are fans of the Insane Clown Posse. There has been a Gathering of the Juggalos event/concert every year since 2000.

blue, Juggalos have a fest every year that is sponsored by the Insane Clown Posse’s Label. I did not know Tila Tequila rapped either. But they were booing her and she then took off her top and was showing her boobies while she was rapping in an effort to gain the “juggalos” awe. Well they took offense to it and started hittinh her with bottles and throwing feces at her then attacking her and her security. Method Man just got clocked about 45 seconds into his rap. There are videos of them both happening on the web. Insane Clown Posse said it was Tila’s and Method man own fault that they got attacked. (just goes to show that violence does not only happen at “urban” concerts) Here is the article:

Woah, woah, woah.

There was just as much fraud as there was consumer ignorance.

But let’s not forget the fiduciary responsibilities (since codified into law) that were lax;

Poor underwriting – got a pulse, get a loan;

Poor documentation- can’t read, the “X” will do;

and flat out forgery, changing folks income on applications.

A lot of what happened was greed on the parties of both parts, but let’s not act like there wasn’t strong financial incentives to get people in house knowing there were going to be out in 2 years.

Some lenders, brokers and agents only wanted the commission, not the customer.

They(thuggs) set a bad precedent and besides,they just get used by the college AD’s so their programs can win but they themselves,the thugs get no meaningful return nor developement,personal human nor academic…its wasted money..and wasted human beings..after football/sport is over.

How could he have the same gun from 2 years ago? He was never charged. His bullets matched those at the shootout scene, but no one could put the gun in his hand, but the scetchy victim.

Are we talking June of this year on the traffic stop? Don’t know about that.

But “smart” criminals aren’t derided when they were business suits. Or are managers or CEO’s. A crime is a crime whether committed with a gun or keystroke. If the law can be used to get both of ‘em off, what’s the difference really?

The most versatile suite for men is navy blue, followed closely by charcoal grey. Those suits should cover over 90% of all occasions. Just wear different shirts and accentuate with different accessories (ties, cuff-links) and they will look different every time.

PLEASE don’t buy suits at Men’s Wearhouse! Remember, it’s much better to have a few, well-made, well-fitting suits than many crappy ones. The same goes for shoes.

A navy suit is more versatile than a black one. It is light enough for the day and dark enough for the night. A black suit looks too “intense” during the day.
