“A man should look as if he had bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them.” – Hardy Amies
A Gentleman…
Knows that there is a difference between style and fashion. Fashion changes with the news, the times, and the whims of mid-30’s Italian bachelors in the suburbs of Milano. Style, on the other hand, is timeless. Some things simply look good – like a ’62 Ferrari. A Gentleman knows that his appearance sets the tone for conversations, subconscious evaluation by others, and tells his boss or his peers that he actually is quite attentive to detail.
Rules of Style for Men
In this area you will find rules of style for both Basic and Advanced categories. Basic covers the principles every Gentleman needs: matching belts with shoes, types of shoes for professional v. casual, and more related topics. Advanced rules cover nearly every article or accessory that a Gentleman might wear – cufflink protocol, tie bars, jacket codes, etc.
