A Cardigan.

    The Cardigan was once considered more of an elderly man item of clothing, but has now made its way to the trendy mans closet. The classic Cardigan (such as the one pictured above) consists of four or five buttons in the front and maybe two simple pockets on the bottom front. Nowadays they come with pockets on the Brest and with more ostentatious buttons so you really have a wide variety of options. They come is several different colors and patterns. They have a sense of class about them with out looking to polished witch I like a lot. The great thing about these being more trendy now is that you can find them just about anywhere. If you have a good bit of money to spend you can get them from places like Neiman Marcus or even Gucci, but if you have a limited budget you can get them at places like Forever 21, Rue 21, or you can even hit a good sale some where like Dillard’s and maybe snatch up a big designer brand.

The Oxford Shirt.

     The most dependable shirt you could have. I love the cloth its self. its thick but breathable. They look appropriate just about anywhere. During the hot summer you can pair then with a pair of chinos or shorts and roll the sleeves up and you set to go. During the winter pair with your winter coat or blazer with some jeans or chinos. They are sold at the more "Prep" stores such as Polo(My Personal Favorite), J. Crew, Brooks Brother, and other stores with similar styles.

Jeans. Enough Said.

      Jeans. They look great and they are comfortable. What more could you want? There are so many different looks and types of jeans I don’t even know where to begin. They have jeans with holes, jeans that are faded, jeans that are tight, jeans that are loose, jeans that are to long, get the idea? I personally like a straight legged jean that’s a little on the darker side and no holes. But its all a matter of opinion when it comes to jeans. I have learned that when you buy expensive jeans , even though you want to cry when you hand over the money, they last longer and keep there look. Lots of stores specialize in jeans. There’s Guess, Calvin Klein, Diesel, Big Star, Gap, and numerous more. I like to get my jeans at Banana Republic. They Fit great and are more reasonably priced than some. Just remember to look at all of them. You will never know witch one you will like.

A Great Pair Of Chinos.

  Nothing is as diverse as a pair of Chinos. You can wear them casually or formally. They come in great colors, and go with just about anything. They look great with all shoes, especially loafers or boat shoes. You can wear them in the dead of Summer, or in the dead of Winter. You can buy them just about anywhere, but I prefer places like J.Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, or Lacoste. Remember, chinos are not just khaki.



The V-Neck Sweater.

   The V-Neck Sweater will never go out of style. They come in every color imaginable and can be found pretty much anywhere. You can wear one on a casual date or to a formal occasion. you can wear them with an oxford underneath, a plain t-shirt, or nothing underneath. They look great with jeans, chinos, and if you can pull it off you can even wear them with shorts. This should defiantly be a go to item in your closet.

The Fit!

One of the worst things that a man can do for his look or for his figure is to buy clothes that don’t fit. A shirt or pair of jeans that don’t fit can add several pounds to you and make you appear shorter that you really are. It doesn’t matter if the shirt you are wearing came from Neiman Marcus and was three hundred dollars if it don’t fit it might as well came from Wal-Mart. On the other hand a well fitted shirt can make you appear slimmer, make you appear taller and younger. As the picture above shows the fit makes a world of difference.

Barack Obama

  Barack Obama may not be the greatest president we have ever had, but he is definitely is one of the best dressed we have ever had. He always looks great for any occasion. If you need any formal attire inspiration look no further than president Barack Obama.
