Fashion advice for the socially challenged.
Catherine McCauley has studied fashion for many years and is considered an expert in the field of trend spotting. From the Izod, big hair, Calvin Klein, Swatch crazed 1980's to the Bucks and penny loafers, and Mexican Baja of the 1990's right into the metrosexual 2000's, Catherine has had a beat on what is "IN" and what is "OUT" for men and women on the street and in the workplace. As a testimony to her expertise, I can say that she has helped my social life immensley by transforming me from looking like the UPS delivery guy, to someone that can walk into a room with the confidence that, "Damn, I look good!" Watch this column for updates throughout the year.
FASHION TIPS FOR GUYS!!!
1) Unless you are attending a rodeo, never EVER wear black jeans.
2) Belts should be worn alone...NOT with accessories such a keys, a phone or a blackberry attached.
3) Unless going to the gym, gentlemen should not wear sneakers after 6 pm.
4) Women will check out your shoes and watch...make sure they matter.
5) Flip flops work as long as they are not paired with socks and toes are groomed. Get out of college and throw out the tevas and Birkenstocks along with your Phish posters.
6) Tank tops should be worn only at the gym or if you work in a pizza place.
7) There is nothing stylish about a novelty tie...throw them out (ask Dave!).
8) Why is manscaping important? We don't want hair in our mouth either!
9) Experiment with hair product (wax, pomade, clay)..just don't buy hair gels that are rainbow colored.
10) NO WIRE HANGERS!
