The Sometimes, Always, Never 3-Button Rule

by Brett & Kate McKay

A few years ago, we published a guest post on suit buttons, and one of the best things I got out of it was a handy way to remember the right way to button a three-button suit jacket, which was shared by the first commenter. It’s called the “sometimes, always, never” button rule. Starting with [...]

Save Money and Shop Smart: Know the Style Pyramid

by Antonio

Let’s just be honest: style, for men, is a hard thing to grasp. It’s especially hard when buying new clothes. We always forget our sizes, we don’t know how things are supposed to fit, and we can never figure out what matches or looks good. Sometimes what we buy ends up sitting in the closet [...]

Common Clothing Stains and How to Remove Them

by Antonio

Plop. That’s the sound of BBQ sauce landing on your brand new blazer coat as you’re chowing down on some mouthwatering ribs. Dadgummit. You need to wear that jacket to a business presentation at the end of the week. What to do? From sliding into first base to finding a leaky pen in your pocket, everybody stains [...]

Outfitted & Equipped: Sunny Spring Patio Happy Hour

by A Manly Guest Contributor

Editor’s note: This gallery is curated by Joe Weber from Dappered.com. I’ve been getting lots of requests from companies to sponsor an edition of Outfitted and Equipped lately (no, this one isn’t sponsored — the sponsor wanted me to remove the valet at the last minute for not being cool enough, and I wouldn’t do [...]

How to Layer Clothing With Style

by Antonio

Are you bewildered by talk of “layering” in menswear? Don’t worry — most men are. The goal of this article is to help fix that. So let’s start out simple. Your average guy on the street typically has one visible layer: shirt and trousers. Maybe a jacket if he’s dressing up (a second layer), and [...]

Men’s Winter Hats: The Ultimate Guide to Cold Weather Headwear

by Antonio

I remember being told as a kid that it was important to wear a hat in cold weather because 80-90% of your body heat escapes through your head. As it turns out, this isn’t true — I was fed a load of bull. You don’t in fact lose more heat from your head than other [...]

You probably want to be taken seriously, get good service at a restaurant, and make a good first impression when you meet a business partner. Fleece coats from The North Face may be great for a camping trip and for outdoor activities, but at your office job, they make you look like an amateur, especially [...]

Dressing Sharp & Casual: The Comprehensive Guide for Young Men

by Antonio

Custom suits and imported silk ties look great, but they’re not a lot of use to young men in their late teens and early 20s. Even if you could afford that kind of a wardrobe (most can’t), there’s no place to wear it – it’s far too formal for socializing with 20-somethings, and very few [...]

The Stylish Man’s Guide to Concealed Carry

by Antonio

How to arrange good-looking clothing around the decidedly non-standard bulge of a handgun is a topic worth looking at.

How to Roll Up Your Shirt Sleeves

by Antonio

In 2011, MARADMIN 621/11 came down from headquarters Marine Corps. In a nutshell — it was determined that the Marines would no longer roll up their shirt sleeves of their combat utility uniform while in garrison. A small detail really. Yet that small detail led to many heated debates, including this interesting one over at [...]

Dressing Sharp in Hot Weather: The Guayabera

by Antonio

The story goes like this. About three hundred years ago a farmer’s wife took a needle and thread to her husband’s work shirt. She sewed four large pockets onto the front of the shirt, enabling her husband to easily pick and carry guayabas (guavas). Past this — well, that’s where the arguments start. The Cubans claim [...]

How to Remove and Prevent Yellow Armpit Stains

by Brett

It’s a sartorial problem that many men have, but few talk about. Yellow armpit stains. You or someone you know has probably suffered the shame and embarrassment of wearing a dress shirt with dingy yellow stains radiating from the armpits. Instead of your office mates listening in awe as you tell them about the fish you caught that “was [...]
