Men will do or say anything to give them an excuse why something isn’t possible. Part of my job is to prove them wrong. Thank goodness there is data our there from surveys and online interactions to help my cause. This one comes from Maxim Magazine as they surveyed almost 8,000 women from across the country. Still skeptical? Think of it in numbers:
Wingtips are back! These next few videos will talk about appropriately dressing your age and the effect it has on attracting women. Today's focus is on men in their 20s.
Summer is ending - officially in a couple weeks. As the temperatures cool and the leaves change color, it’s important that your fashion adjusts to the change of seasons. So put away the linen outfit and start focusing on layering again.
I wrote about the concept of layering last year. It plays a strong role in fall fashion and it allows you to change the way to wear certain things in your closet.
So this year, I want to share three (3) sources that I use to know what’s going to be the look this fall.

Remember the days of “peacocking?” Guys dressing ridiculously just to get attention from women? The crazy thing was it worked until women caught on. Today, there are enough holidays and theme parties to wear those things you thought were socially appropriate. So why not do some homework and find out what actually makes man stand out from his pack?
I remember over a year and a half ago, I put out a blog post about finding good shirts. It was a great post for someone who was looking to get a basic idea as to what to wear and how to find things that worked for them.
In the age of purchasing clothes online from places like Zappos, Amazon and eBay, why not order customized shirts? Think about it. You would essentially be the only person to have the shirt. Imagine a wardrobe filled with customized shirts that no one else can buy in stores or replicate. Pretty cool, huh?
Instead of explaining it in words, Molly from DemoGirl.com was awesome enough to do a video of ordering a shirt on BL. Enjoy. PS - Who’s that guy in the pink shirt on the home page?
The shirts use quality material, fit REALLY well, are durable and inexpensive, compared to other custom shirts. I personally have two shirts from BL, one that I have worn on a recent episode of LoveNation.

Ever since I was able to change my hairstyle, I have been obsessed with hats. I have always loved wearing them as it’s one of those overlooked accessories that can make an entire outfit complete. Some guys I know dress around the hat. I personally think that’s a recipe for disaster, as it will limit your options. A hat is just an addition to your style it’s not a foundation piece. Remember that.
But as I continue to try to bring hats back in style in Boston (sorry, Justin [Timberlake]), my barber told me about this hat place in Jamaica Plain that he thought I’d love. It was called Salmagundi. He said that it was ALL hats. I was sold. I went there on a Tuesday and much to my chagrin, it was closed (Salmagundi is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). So I made sure that I made time to go the next day with my cousin. When I walked in, I felt like I was in hat heaven. It’s a small store but has a lot of energy and personality. It’s easy to feel right at home at this place.
I was looking for a hat to wear in couple hours for an event and Jessen, one of the owners of Salmagundi, was there to help me out and see what hats I looked good in. Come to find out, I looked pretty good in many hats.
Salmagundi’s hats range in price ($40 and up) so anyone can come here. Jessen and Andria can tell you what hats to wear during each season and what materials last longer than others. A quality hat can last you for years if you are able to take care of them. Just like fitted caps and just like a nice pairs of shoes, these kinds of hats require care and a level of maintenance. Just like certain shoes, you shouldn’t wear straw summer hats in the rain. Then again, wearing a sweatshirt during a heat wave, it may not be best to wear a wool hat in the summer. These are all things you can learn from the peeps at Salmagundi.
I love this place and I plan to get all of my hats from here. Personally, I see hats making a strong comeback (once again, sorry, JT) and if you are looking for some quality hats and a little bit of flare, Salmagundi is going to be your place to get them.
There are located at:
765 Centre Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 (617) 522-5047
It doesn’t mean that you can wear whatever you want (sorry to those who were hoping sweats can be cool again).
But with some knowledge, experience and a good wardrobe foundation, you can afford to mix things up and take some risks to push your look.
If done successfully, you have the potential to become a trendsetter.
But that’s not the real reason why you would even bother taking risks, right?
No, it’s to create YOUR own style.
Your style can be hard to replicate. Your style can be hard to pull off on other people. But most importantly, your style says a lot about the kind of person you are and the amount of confidence you can exude.
I wanted to keep this short because there really isn’t much more to it. I’ll show you some pictures of what I mean.
Are you ready to take risks?
