    Serious sandal searching for spring...

    Jofaile, here's one that you might like and is similar to the one in the shot above: It's from J.Crew, it's called the Pacific thong, and it sells for $68.00. Hope this helps

    Good will-graveyard or buried treasure

    My older brother started going to thrift stores in high school (we didn't have a lot of money to go buying new clothes at retail stores) and he started discovering incredible clothes. As I grew older, he started giving me some of his finds and would let me accompany him on some trips. I can't...

    The final word...

    Jofaile, I wore a white french-cuffed dress shirt with a gold tie and a blue 3-button suit to a Christmas party a few months ago and received tons of compliments. Go for it, and with the spread collar you'll look even more elegant. And hold on to the girlfriend. It's hard to find ones with style

    The color purple

    I'm not too familiar with lavender, but I prefer a deep purple. Ralph Lauren uses it often in his fashions and it looks incredible. As many of my friends say, only certain men can pull off an ensemble with purple involved; luckily, they include me in said group

    Blazer with jeans?

    That GQ story was "4 Cheers for Our Avant-Garde" from the September 2001 issue (page 304) and featured pics of and comments from Hedi Slimane, Marc Jacobs, Helmut Lang, and Tom Ford. They all look pretty cool in their blazer, white shirt, and jeans combos but (as others have noted)...

    Sunburn

    I got cooked last summer (being Irish/German sets you up for that) and have done a few things to keep myself comfortable: 1) Keeping the area cool with towels or cool showers 2) Taking Tylenol, ibupfrofen, or other pain relievers 3) Using aloe vera or other moisturizers 4) Spraying the area with...

    +++ sneakers +++

    I prefer Adidas, but mainly since I was raised as a soccer player and their shoes are the dominant brand in the sport. Overall, the Adidas sneakers I've liked are comfortable, well-designed, made with quality, and classically styled. I usually buy their simplest, least flashy shoes; I have a...

    Shaving with/against grain

    GQ addressed this in a "Personal Best" column a few years ago. As far as I can remember, they recommended coating the face with lots of hot water to soften the beard (or, if possible, shaving during/after a shower - it's the best) and then applying the shaving cream. Shave your face...

    Online shopping

    I live in a major city with lots of places to shop. However, I like shopping online because it can be done quickly and retailers' sites often have clearance or sale items that can't be found in their stores. However, before you do this you need to be sure of your sizes and how the clothes from...

    Pants: pleats, flat front, and no crease...

    I prefer the flat front look myself and agree that it's hard to find suit pants that are flat front. I recently found a 3 button Brooks Brothers glen plaid suit with flat front pants and a 3 button Jos. A. Bank blue suit with flat front pants, but they were both at thrift stores :-P Pleats are...

    Please don't haze the new guy!

    I agree with GQ Lawyer about the monkstraps - they are too casual, especially for a "meet the company" meeting. When it comes to the color of the suit, I wouldn't wear a solid black suit. It's very formal and may look a little too severe. I prefer a navy blue or dark gray - it's conservative but...

    Resale outlets

    Another one to check out is Filene's Basement. They're just like T.J. Maxx and often have some great stuff. However, it takes some patient searching and often multiple visits. In the end, though, it's well worth it.

    Need some advice

    There are a lot of things that could go well with the pants and shoes. Try a white dress shirt and a gray, black, or dark blue sweater - it's simple and will work. You could also throw in a cool checked shirt, but it has to be just right in order not to look odd. As for the red, it depends on...
