Don't Tuck Like This

This is one of the characters in Devious Maids. His name is Spence, and he's a "bad actor" -- that's according to his wife.

Spence Westmore is played by Grant Show. Now, Grant is a handsome 50-year-old man. But I'm not liking this outfit.



Why? Because of the tuck. The shirt is great, and it definitely the right size for him. BUT... the jeans are too high. Takeaway is if you want to tuck a shirt, make sure that your pants are leveled with your pelvis.

Style Tips for Thin Guys (or Those That Appear Skinny)

It's sometimes difficult to shop for x-small t-shirts and pants with a less than 28-inch waistline. Sometimes, you'll have to go to the kids' section to find your size.

Here are some style tips for thin guys, or those that are too tall that they look skinny.

1. Learn the art of layering. 

This can give you volume. It's easy to do this during cold days because you have every reason to, but it can be challenging during hotter days.

Not Even David Beckham Can Pull Off Very Loose Pants

Just when you thought David Beckham can't do anything wrong, you come across one image that ruins everything. Case in point: this loose pants he wore in June 2003, when he visited a school in Tokyo.

Seriously, what was he thinking? His hair was neatly bundled, which makes him look good -- something that only a few men can pull off. His t-shirt was also perfect, and so his belt.

Granted, this style of pants was the trend that time. But no, David. No.


Style Guide on Buying a T-Shirt

Style and comfort, they say, don't go together. But with a cool T-shirt, it's possible to be both stylish and comfortable. Yet, how is it that some people take T-shirts for granted? Wearing cool T-shirts is the easiest and fastest way to style yourself on a casual day.

Here are some guidelines on how to buy T-shirts.

1. Never settle for a T-shirt that is not your size. 

Ask any hardcore shopper and he'll tell you that stores don't really have standardized sizes. One store's medium size may not match another's medium size. So DO take your time to shop around.

How do you know it's the perfect size? Here's a tip.

- The arms should cover exactly half of your triceps.
- The length should extend only up to half of your pelvis.

2. Material is everything. 

Nothing beats cotton. It absorbs sweat well so you don't smell.

3. Avoid loose t-shirts. 

We're talking about style here, not just comfort. Loose T-shirts are so 1990's.

4. Have sweaty armpits? Don't buy dark t-shirts. 

Or any color that makes it obvious. Instead, go for white shirts.

5. Always shop with the pants or shorts you'll want to pair the shirt with. 

The right t-shirt extends up to half of your pants' zipper area.


Nolan Ross Knows How to Add Color to Accentuate His Suits

In my previous post, I featured Pitbull as a classy man who can pull off bright suits. Now, it's time to feature another one who can pull off a more flamboyant look -- Nolan Ross.

Nolan Ross is a fictional character from the TV Series Revenge. His style can be difficult to pull off, but it can teach you a thing or two on how to add color to your suits.

Note how he cleverly uses polo shirts as an alternative to long sleeves. Plus, if you're into neckerchiefs, this is how it's done.
