A tip from me to other short statured guys out there. Too often short guys fall into the trap of buying bigger clothes thinking they will hide your smallness. I did that for quite a while- up through high school. Being from an urban high school also led to that fashion decision admittedly.
But I’ve seen [...]

Interesting set of facts from an article in the NY Times. While prices across the board are rising because of the economy and rising cost of fuel, clothing, at least if you aren’t going for high fashion, is actually cheaper now than before.
As luxury fashion has become more expensive, mainstream apparel has become markedly less [...]

Ordered something from J.Crew the other day. When it arrived today, there was a brochure describing all the customer services J.Crew offers.
Hidden near the bottom was a comment that there is a 10% discount for college students in store.
I can’t even begin to fathom how much money I could have saved over the years had [...]

Update to my previous post.
City officials said Monday that they plan to drop obscenity charges filed against an Abercrombie & Fitch store manager at Lynnhaven Mall, where police confiscated two large posters of partially dressed models over the weekend.

And no- we’re not talking about prices.
Back in my hometown area, in Virginia Beach police seized a couple of those ubiquitous black and white photos in the store because people had complained, and the store had been warned to take them down. The manager was given a summons on a charge of indecency, apparently a [...]

Luxury for the masses was one of the fastest growing and most lucrative trends of the past decade or so.
Organic specialty foods, 1000 thread count sheets, designer t-shirts all examples of normal items that were given luxury treatments which consumers bought in droves.
“Entry prices” are, of course, a relative concept for outfits like these. [...]

After Justin Timberlake’s concert on HBO I could have told you this six months ago. Vests are trending back into fashion now.
Stylish young urbanites, in a rare display of solidarity, have embraced the vest as a flourish that lends nearly any outfit a bit of cool. There are suit vests, in bankerly worsteds and pinstripes, [...]

Neckties are making a comeback as a casual fashion statement.

No, this is not a post about dating. Lots of guys have trouble matching colors and patterns. It is really what keeps us from being more outgoing with style choices. Guys would like to be more risk taking in their choices and be seen as savvy- but also don’t want to match badly and be [...]

I like American Apparel clothing. I don’t really wear alot of it- I’ve never been close enough to a store, and it’s too hipster/trendy for me. They tend to stay in Urban areas. Luckily- now that I’m in Richmond I am really close to one and I’ve gotten a few admittedly tamer items.
