The do not do’s of men's fashion another Restart Smart view of life.
You have now entered the room where you will be interviewed shortly by Thomas Stitch, men’s fashion reporter for In My Closet magazine (factious of course). Mr. Stitch see’s himself as the ultimate answer when it comes to any questions of taste in regards to men’s fashion, (Of course your expertise in fine dining is never questioned…we might address that later) and so you sit and hope you are more than prepared to answer his questions.

You decide to take a  moment to arrange your mental notes. You are of course interrupted from time to time by the somewhat irritating nasal droning of Mr. Stitch as he goes on and on. What you ask yourself can he possibly be saying? The history of men’s fashion is quite simple and brief. In the beginning we wore nothing and things were great. However man soon discovered women and seeing as how all men were not created equal they felt it was necessary to wear a loin cloth type affair. This proved satisfactory until man settled in what is now known as Chicago (the windy city). You lose your train of thought as you hear laughter coming from his audience. Odd! What is there about men’s fashion that could be humorous? Wanting to stretch you walk about and come upon a full length mirror. Admiring yourself you ponder why you are here. True! You totally understand men’s fashion; you would never be caught dead at the beach wearing black socks and sandals. Surely you wouldn’t wear a striped and checkered combination of anything. Who does that anyway? Men’s fashion is not rocket science. As you continue to admire yourself you note with some pride that your’ Nehru Jacket looks as good today as when you bought it. When was that? Applause has started which is your queue that your interview is just a few minutes away. Before you leave you take another quick glance in the mirror to check your appearance, men’s fashion should be your middle name. Your three gold chains are reflecting the light nicely, you hike your polyester pants up just a little higher (no baggy butt look for you) double check your socks. Yup both are white and they match, goes well with your open toe sandals (definitely not black).Turning you find yourself face to face with Thomas Stitch. Your face registers surprise, his… shock! We are now going to let our readers know that you were just fooling around, that you really know what not to do when it comes to men’s fashion. Restart Smart tip #1: When it comes to men’s fashion keep it clean. Women are attracted to men who look, smell and feel clean. The do not do…don’t be wrinkled or smell like you bathed in cologne. Restart Smart tip #2: What’s hip is not for you. That sloppy baggy pant, unkempt hair and sunglass is not a great men’s fashion look (you might think your 19 but guess what?) Act your age; you have enough wrinkles without wearing more. To speed this along we have made a short list of more do not do’s in men’s fashion. Do not do short sleeve shirts and a tie (bow ties at your age no way), dirty tennis shoes (running shoes are exempt as long as your running), shorts that are more than an inch above your knee (please do you have any idea how bad you look?) and white socks and dress pants. There are other men’s fashion do not do’s but let’s try to wrap it up with one more suggestion. Restart Smart tip # 3: When it comes to men’s fashion the old saying that clothes makes the man is actually true. Our personality is reflected in how and what we wear. We can tell ourselves that we no longer care about such material things (pun intended) but the reality is we do or we should. We have reached a time in our life where it’s all about us and it should be. So why not take a little care and dress ourselves in a way that does not distract from who we are. Let’s give folks a chance to see what we are and what we have to offer. Come on enjoy life dress the part, who knows men’s fashion could be your middle name….or not! |
