some excellent advice for you gents out there. mostexerent: Sartorial whatevers you can learn from the always stylish JD as seen at NYFW S/S 2012: -Wear a v-neck sweater under a sportcoat as opposed to a v-neck tee/scoop neck tee/tee anything to avoid looking like you just stepped out of a Las Vegas strip club. (Cinnamon, if you’re reading this, the child support check is in the mail) -Everyone loves an odd sportcoat, but it’s a ballsy move to pull off.  If you’re gonna do it stick with a more understated pattern in understated colors (for example the black and white miniature hounds tooth seen above).  Jackets such as these hide stains real well FYI. -Learn how to hem your own pants or drop a little coinage at the tailor/seamstress.  Everyone’s rolling their shit these days and that’s okay, but if you want to stand out go as DIY as you see fit. -As long as you’re not wearing a suit, sneakers are fine.  Yes, even with trousers.  Just make sure your kicks are of the classic variety like JD’s Vans slip-ons. -If you’re wearing a suit because you want to wear a suit, have some fun with it.  A faja belt keeps things casual and what you do with your collar is your own prerogative. -Lead by example.
