I disagree about being hidden in the pack. I think the article is very helpful and described how to spend the money exactly the way I might advise someone. Start with the classics, and work your way out to splurging. The reality that while other people may be wearing the same things, the way you wear those things will certainly make you stand out. Besides, trendiness is not for the faint of heart, and, where there’s doubt, an exquisitely made classic will make you look infinitely better than something trendy that makes you feel as though you aren’t wearing your own skin.

Sounds like a great way to waste a whole lot of money to be hidden in the pack of other people wearing the same stuff… Well done!!

Here’s GQ’s style guy on black suits in the daytime…
“I would probably wear a black suit to work on days when I was also attending a funeral.”

He also notes, however, that it’s a matter of taste, and there are many people who wear black regularly.

This advice was great, for 1965. These days black suits in the daytime are very common and aren’t considered “inappropriate” except by folks who care enough to write blog posts on the subject.

H&M is agood brand that isn’t pricey. I use to shop there alot when I was in Germany. You can still look nice when not wearing name brands. Style is in……. And I’m rocking pink.

This is a wonderful post, I think every man who needs a place to start should read this. One thing is missing though: shoes. You have a great eye for style and quality I bet you could write a whole post just on shoes.

The list is a fine traditional list, especially if your lifestyle warrants wearing these garments. But frankly I can’t think of a duller way to spend a windfall. Personally I’d use the money to buy “fun” things to wear, i.e., things you enjoy wearing. But do take some time carefully to consider quality and style.

This list seems overthought and boring. It appears everywhere and shows no imagination. Sure, the items you listed are classic, but it seems youve created a system that runs you and not the other way around.

Its almost predictable. Break free a little, will you?

If you’d like to get a bold dress shirt, I’m absolutely in love with dark, rich purple. Purple is such a flattering color on darn near everyone. Sadly it is often overlooked.

The shade of an eggplant really, not something overly pink.
