Yes you. The guy reading this right now. We're talking to you as you sit there in your slightly off-color socks with your scratched up belt looping too far out of place.
It has come to our attention that some men do not know how to dress themselves, but with simple instruction and some tweaks, it would not be hard for them to get it right.
The current minimal effort being put forth by men to dress themselves beyond "meh" is leading to a style failure of epic proportions with everyday professional men - both inside and out of the office.
You professional men should care about how you dress, because expectations are getting higher. And just for you we've decided to put together a show-and-tell list of men that have impeccable style. These are the guys who know how to dress.
Let these stylish men be your guides. Follow them through the dark of night and into the dawn of matching socks.
Not all of these names are widely recognizable, and not all these styles are going to be right for you, but pay attention to the fit, color coordination and the themes behind matching the right items of clothing for good effect.
For more illustration and advice for style points, search their names. Spend some time Googling. YouTubeing. Study. Learn.
Impress.
