How loose are your pants? Are they so loose that you need to be double sure they don't fall down? Braces hold your pants up, belts also hold your pants up. If you're struggling with either, then you probably just need smaller pants. I see this mistake all to often, and excuse my French but … Continue reading Braces or Belt, Never both

Party like a rock star. I've always loved the misuse of a tuxedo jacket. Such a formal item being paired with the most casual of all fashion items the T shirt.
