Find a tailor whom you trust and who won't let you wear something that doesn't suit you. Keep your shoes polished. When the temperature rises, simplify. Choose clothes in colors that flatter your skin tone. Tuxedos should be worn with a white shirt.
Black shirts make even the most handsome man look like a two-bit gangster.
Pick an outfit in a magazine before you pick it from the rack. Have an image in your mind of what you are looking for before you embark on your next shopping spree. Don't hesitate to remove the designer labels from your garments. Flaunting status symbols is not modern anymore. Appreciation, love, humor and passion are the main ingredients of style.
