Where’s the line drawn for distressed jeans?

I always have the problem of knowing when to dress up and when to stay casual when going to particular events.  How should I make a decision on what to wear?

Hmmmm!  Good question.  Here’s the rule that I use and it works all the time.  You should always dress just a little bit better than everyone else.  Does that make sense?  If you’re Steve Jobs, and I know you’re not, you can get away with wearing the black mock turtle neck, jeans and white sneakers no matter where you go.  I figure that when you change the world in several areas and become a billionaire then you too can dress anyway you want.  However, since you’re not Steve Jobs, you need to think about this.

So remember this – No matter where you go and no matter what the occasion always dress just a little bit better than you need to.  This is a great habit to get into.  For one you tell the host or the home owner you really care enough about the event and them to look good.  For two, you will never have to worry about under dressing the occasion.  And for three, people notice the little things and will give you respect.

What is the one garment that every man needs to have in their closet?

That’s a simple one!  A really nice charcoal grey or darker suit that fits well, is clean with polished shoes.  Go in peace!  This look will carry forward you for years.  If you want to go with this suggestion save a little extra money and buy a better one than you’re thinking.  Trust me!
