Right on. Personal style is about finding clothing and accessories that enhance your build, represent your aesthetic and fit well. It transcends formal and casual, young and old. I applaud gents who are contemporary, yet escape the uniformity of the latest trend. I look forward to future posts.

I doubly agree with the Le Samourai comment. That movie is an inspiration or should be at least!

Another excellent film to watch, especially to see how to pull off double breasted suits, The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Amazing!

@Dave - Great advice here. Alan Flusser is the man, and at least one of his books should be owned by every man who seeks to be well dressed. @Christopher Canova - Last night I watched an amazing movie, Le Samourai. The main character, played by Alain Delon, is an impeccably dressed hit-man prowling the rainy streets of Paris. Two things kept him stylish throughout the film despite the weather: 1. His trench coat fit perfectly â€“ spend the resources to ensure your outerwear looks and feels great. You can balance functionality with style here, just make sure it fits in the torso and the sleeves/jacket itself are not too long. 2. He wore a hat vs. using an umbrella â€“ invest in quality hat you'll be happy with and which can protect you from the elements. I'm not saying spend a fortune here, but get something you are really happy with so that you actually want to wear it. Good luck with the rainy weather!

Antonio, I live in the Northwest and the “environment” is a bigger factor than most other readers. Can you possibly include some NW style tips where rain is an everyday concern? I am style-stupid!

Great article!

There’s an awesome book on this topic titled “Dressing the Man- Mastering the Art of Permament Fashion” by Alan Flusser. Check it out at Amazon. It’s a weighty tome of good solid advice that will reap fantastic rewards over the years if you take the time to read it. I bought it a few years ago at the age of 16 and it has served me very well.

Also check out magazines like GQ. Reading the issues over the months will serve to give you a good idea of what to look for in clothes as well as identifying pieces of clothes that would work towards your own personal style.

Regards to all

I am RUGGED… i look rugged, i act rugged and enjoy rugged clothing and things. my car has big wheels and dirt all over it, my cell phone looks like a brick and my gym is located in a warehouse.

dressing up for me consists of jeans and boots! i think i was a cowboy in my last life.
