You could have been anywhere in the world but you’re here with me… and I appreciate that.
I do this for MY dudes; for those who are cut from my very same cloth. Dudes who want to live in every element of life. For those of you who feel as comfortable in crisp jeans and designer sneakers as you do in a Tom Ford Suit; for those of you who love Jay-Z and Coldplay; for those of you who enjoy a catfish dinner and fillet-oscar…
This is for you, my man.
My goal as a sartariolist (shout out this guy: http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com) is to help you look your best. Why share my wisdom? Simply put, I’m not a selfish-guy. I have a woman who’s probably hotter than yours. I’d rather lead the league in assists than in scoring at this points. Thus I want you to look as good as possible… pause.
The Roadless Travel with this blog is not merely to sound off and give my very-educated opinion, but to use this blog as ‘Instructions’ vis-a-vis the clothing line, to have you feel like a millionaire on (keepin’ it very real) a hundred-aire budget.
In the bubble-like confines of my ego, it is my sincere belief that when someone ‘peruses the essentials of cool’, it is a picture of you, my reader, that they shall see.
How do we do this?
By paying an adhorrent amount of attention to detail? Uhh, not really.
It’s NOT by making sure your mushroom belt matches your mushroom jacket, which of course matches your mushroom shirt, jerk off!
It’s by making sure that you understand that a little goes a long way.
Having a few key pieces ensures that you are not doing too much (ahem, Steve Harvey) or too little (insert random drunk uncle)… but just enough for the city.
There are certain pieces every guy must have:
Get a grey pinstripe suit game poppin asap. Jos A. Bank is my retailer du jour, as they have crackhead sales early and often.
Go there, grab a suit, swing this way, grab a shirt/tie, and go fashionably forward into the night where you’ve exponentially increased your chance to get laid.
Here are a couple other pieces you must have if you expect the panties to drop:
- A pair of designer jeans that are NOT bootcut.
- Crisp Solid White Shirt..that you can find here: http://www.theartofdressingwell.com/store/products/view/white-solid-dress-shirt
- One trench coat- preferably Camel, Khaki, Stone, or Beige (See your nearest Banana Republic or J.Crew for details).
- One pair of Aviator Shades. Get your ‘Tom Cruise in Top Gun’ on.
- One pair of dress shoes (preferably Italian loafers) that you can wear with either the grey pinstripe suit/or your ‘go to’ pair of jeans. (THIS DOES NOT MEAN SQUARE-TOED SHOES).
- One Instructions tie that you know, when you throw it on, will make you the ruler of all that you survey. If you wanna be as handsome as me I suggest you try my personal fave:( http://www.theartofdressingwell.com/store/products/view/navy-pink-light-blue-stripe-tie )
If you know better, you do better. I’ll make sure you know better, the rest is on you, my man. Veritas.
