Buy Clothes that you telling you, man’s fashion

Written on June 23, 2009 – 11:22 pm | by dodo

This may come as a shock, but I don’t like the word fashion. People throw that term around a lot, and what they mean by it is “of the moment.” What’s in now, what’s out? What’s the rage today, and what’s so two years ago? But this is so not what being a stylish man is all about. My whole philosophy—my personal commitment to help keep you from looking like a complete jackass—is that we all need to find our own personal style. Couture that works for Carson may not be right for you. Don’t just buy clothes that people tell you are the things you should have. (Unless it’s me telling you.) Your wardrobe should be composed of things that fit and flatter you, things that tell the world something fascinating about your personality, and things that won’t embarrass either of us in the morning. You need to own clothes that make sense for the life you lead—but you should also think about how you wish your life could be and dress accordingly. Start with classic pieces and tszuj it from there.

My first rule of style is there are no rules. Okay, there are a few rules, actually: Pleated pants are never the answer. Ascots? One in a million of you can pull it off (the rest of you can hold the -cot and just say ass). And if you ever wear a mustard-colored suit, so help me I will hunt you down and administer some tough love.

People ask me why I think I know everything about fashion. What I politely tell them is that I don’t. I know what options are out there and I have an eye for helping people find out what’s right for them as individuals. I’ve always had a thing for clothes. I was the first kid in fourth grade to have Calvin Klein jeans. I quickly graduated to Sasson disco denim and it was all over. I picked out my sister’s prom dress. She was Prom Queen, hello! But how my classmates dressed never concerned me too much. I was what you’d call precociously self-involved. I just knew I looked good.

Clothes have always given me the feeling that I can be whoever I feel like being on a particular day. Maybe today I’ll get duded up like a Civil War soldier in ratty jeans and a military coat, and tomorrow I’m a latter- day Cary Grant, sans adorable cleft chin, in a classic tailored suit.

One thing that’s missing in a lot of people’s lives these days is a fashion role model. There aren’t many Cary Grants around, and the average workplace has got so casual over the last twenty years that we can’t de‑pend on our fathers to show us how to pick out a suit and fold a pocket square (what some people thoughtlessly call a “hankie” —God, just the sound of that word starts the convulsions—but has much more in common with a fine silk necktie than a snot-rag). Everyone is dressing down, and nobody has any direction. It’s like men have fashion amnesia! Come on, it wasn’t that many years ago that we knew how to tie a tie, but now guys are running around dressed like hobos. So many people know who they are but just aren’t doing anything to shape that message and get it across in what they’re wearing. They have no plan. Step one: Have a plan. Step two: If you’re among the couture challenged, run for help! If you break your leg, you would go to the doctor. So why are guys afraid to ask for wardrobe advice? And why are they afraid to ask for directions? I sure as hell don’t know.

A lot of men whose look doesn’t fit them (or the century they happen to be living in) have no idea where to turn. The people closest to them—the wife, the girlfriend, the color-blind parole officer—might not be the most honest or informed sources of advice. Not everybody is as lucky as the men on our show. They have me as their fairy god stylist, on hand to deliver them to sartorial Shangri-la. What you can do at home is select a fashion role model. It can be someone you know, a movie star, anyone who looks cool. Look at what they wear and find out where they get it. Read magazines, ask questions. It’s an education, people. Even if you don’t like to shop, get to know a good salesman. If he’s trustworthy and wants your return business, he’ll give it to you straight. Or perhaps he’ll give it to you queer—perhaps he’ll be a fairy god stylist, too.

Clothes don’t have to be terribly expensive to be totally fabulous. Go for things that fit your body and your lifestyle. Investing in key items of quality that won’t be the victim of the fickle finger of fashion is money well spent. Repeat … After … Me: “I am worthy of couture.”
