 We've never really believed that the "clothes make the man." The man makes the man (meaning your integrity, intelligence, charm, and character); the clothes make the man better (and a nice woman and a fine car don’t hurt either!). What you wear makes a very big impression on the people who give you jobs, with those whom you want to hook up, even those who control your entrance into the club on Saturday night… ok, actually they're looking at your date’s cleavage. People check your style and make determinations about you before you say word one. So why is it that so many guys have a near-allergic reaction to the idea of buying clothes and paying attention to how they look? Is it because they don’t know how? Or they think it’s not “manly” to dress well? We’ve found over the years that the better you dress (and behave and carry yourself), the more fortune, and the gazes of women, will smile upon you.
The truth is there are only two times you need to care about your clothes: when you buy them and when you get them tailored. After that, you pick the gear based on the situation — a job interview on Tuesday morning, a client lunch on Wednesday, a dinner date on Friday, and brunch on Sunday all mean different clothes. Let us walk you through the basics of what to have in your closet, how it should fit and what to wear for each occasion. So throw back a shot of Wild Turkey, turn off SportsCenter, and embark on a very manly pursuit: your clothes.

Be Better Guys will spare you the gratuitous jokes about coming out of the closet and cut right to the chase – your suits and dress shirts, if you put ‘em all together, probably are worth, what, a couple thousand bucks? Maybe more if you have five or six good suits and, say, ten quality shirts. But most guys throw their good suits and shirts on cheap-ass hangers that ultimately can ruin the shape of your clothes. |

Your Clothes
If you're mixing cocktails – the key word being cocktails – you'll need
a cocktail shaker. Stainless steel is more forgiving than glass or
plastic and looks good. Now, offer her something besides Chex Mix.
