Simple style advice for the modern man.
Much like Aliotsy, I have been combing the internet for a patch-pocketed, lightly patterned brown blazer made of a weighty and comfortable material; this may or may not have been heavily influenced by Derek’s wonderful post on the topic. I felt that a casual brown blazer would help me expand my small collection of jackets while […]
Like I said yesterday, button-upgrading is a great way to improve the look and feel of a garment on the cheap. This Club Monaco trench coat is a great piece, but the black plastic buttons were just screaming to be replaced. Although you can get a tailor to do the change for you, the process […]
After some positive feedback from my first business casual post (I see you, Reddit) I’ve decided to continue the series for my fellow white collar ballers (being a baller is not actually required).

Since so many men eschew ties and blazers nowadays, the […]
In the past year, the menswear community has really begun to feel the tides change from “slim is in” to “relaxed fit is right,” i.e. the classic “shape vs. drape” argument. I’m sure this will ultimately pass through the median “classic” point and head to the other side of the spectrum, as it always does. […]
