    How to stop overdressing

    Why are notch lapels considered improper for tuxedos?

    tbf, i did say with rare exceptions...also, let me clarify one of my statements...we were originally talking more about 'traditions' (or 'rules', whichever you prefer) than 'trends'...and i intertwined the two to make a point...that is, that i dont think of politicians when i think of either...

    Why are notch lapels considered improper for tuxedos?

    here's a more useful life tip..there are some hills worth fighting for and dying on...the 'look at me, i'm johnny reb that wants to button ALL the buttons no matter what anyone says' isnt one of them...do as you please...i'll be the guy snickering and elbowing his friends at the table to check...

    Why are notch lapels considered improper for tuxedos?

    politicians--with rare exceptions--are not style trend-setters...period --fred astaire's jacket is vented because he was a dancer and needed the room to move--this is from a dance number...i'd bet the rest of the time they werent vented you can spend all of your time searching the internet for...

    Why are notch lapels considered improper for tuxedos?

    you've made a fundamental assumption error...the 'rich and powerful'--photos of which you've posted mostly politicians, who Were never and Will never be considered style 'influencers', unless they are also celebrities for other reasons (now-King Charles' sons, for example)--in fact, as has been...

    How do you deal with pit stains?

    you dont have to shave your pits...just use a trimmer to cut the hair very short...any of the widely advertised/available trimmers will do...wahl, braun, whatever...use the normal blade, and put the shortest guard on it so you dont bite or cut the skin, this will cut it about 1-2mm long---works...

    Does anybody know this Adidas hoodie ?

    if you've been looking for it for years, it probably isnt available in retail stores...i would check thrift, used, and vintage stores and online auction sites

    Do these blazers match the pants?

    mmm...just curious...do those blazers belong to someone else?...#1 appears to be at least a full size too small (pinched shoulders, puckered and creeping too-short sleeves) and #2 maybe a 1/2size small with too-long sleeves, and both too short---enhh, you kids...you're young, you could get away...
