GQ Top Ten Commandments of Style
1. Honor thy tailor
Even the best suits need altering. Pants need to be shortened, jackets need to be brought in, sleeves need to be narrowed, (yes, you can as your tailor to slim down your sleeves), and buttons need to be realigned with buttonholes (most guys' shoulders aren't entirely even, meaning your jackets often sits a bit askew). You should always buy your correct size, but you then need to have a tailor customize it to your body. It's the difference between being appropriately dressed and being stylishly dressed.
2. Thou shalt wear sneakers made for a man
It's fine to own cross-trainers and running shoes and high-tops. But save them for the gym. When you are on the street, keep your sneakers simple and classic. Go for ones like Stan Smiths, Jack Purcells and Sambas. They work with everything, including suits.
3. Thou shalt invest in the right timepiece
Buy a high-quality stainless-steel watch. It looks right with jeans as it does with your best blazer.
4. Thou shalt match your socks with your suit.
When choosing socks, the basic rule is to consider the suit instead of the shoe- in other words, if you are wearing a navy suit with black shoes, reach for navy socks. And when wearing a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shad or so lighter than the shoes.
5. Thou Shalt not wear a tie that is too slim.
Unless you're a hard-core fashion gut who favors a super skinny tie, stick with the one that measures about three inches at its widest point. It will be narrower than traditional ties, but not too much. Tie one on and you'll look modern and sophisticated.
