50 Years of Fashion…

 A blueprint for sartorial success.

My dad always says that,” The more things change, the more things remain the same”. As applied to men’s style, I’m not sure that truer words have ever been spoken.

I was perusing an old GQ magazine while cleaning up and found an article about the “50 Most Stylish Men of the Past 50 Years.”  Peep the story here. What I noticed while reading the article (again), as I’m sure you will too, is that a good 90% of the guys who are celebrated here were photographed in fitted shirts, and wore ties to compliment the shirt…. kinda like we do here at the Art of the Dressing Well.

So stick with us, shop with us, and 50 years from now, people will be singing your praises too. Veritas.

Instructions Beyond Our Instructions.

You guys know what we here at Instructions believe in. You guys know what we’re about: the art of dressing well.

To do this, you have to have the right pieces. I know, I know. You guys have heard us talk ad nausea about the Instructional aspect of putting together that perfect ensemble. Tie clips this, pocket squares that, how your shoes should match your belt, how your watch should accentuate your ensemble and not take away from it, etc.  We give you (and will always continue to) a blueprint of how to put your clothes together.

Double Breasted Suits. Pinstripe Suits. Three-piece Suits. Neckties. Bow ties. Bolos. With so many options, what shall I do?

You ever notice how the man who makes the most powerful statements is usually a man of few words? Clothing works the same way. Clean, sleek, well-fitting clothes make all the statement you ever need. You can start with a basic two-button suit and build an exquisite ensemble. The options will be endless. True story.

Here, Nathan Brown shows you exactly what I mean.

See, with the right shirt and tie, for example, you can exhibit classic style and futuristic flair all at the same time. And don’t worry, we’ll be providing you with Instructions along the way. You know, just in case you need it.  :-)
