I don't really agree with some of his advice. They're good guidelines to start out with though. Guidelines. Don't treat them as the law.

Suits: Yup, definitely Navy or Charcoal. But get a 2-button is probably the best bet. 3 is okay too.

Shirts: Opening the top button while still wearing a tie is sorta ok. As long as it's later in the day.

Trousers: For slacks/suit pants, they usually look best with minimal break (they're not jeans!), no pleats (unless you're big) cuz they just make your thighs and hips look thicker than they really are.


How it's done. And if you don't agree, he'll kick your ass.

Jeans: Wear them however long you like. They actually suffer from having minimal break. And please, please, when you have them ironed and hung, make sure there's no crease in the middle of the legs. They're not slacks.

Disclaimer: I'm no guru either. Just passing on the best advice I've read. And I've read quite a bit. gq.com is a good place to start. And then there're the blogs. And then the message boards. And then the Japanese magazine scans.

EDIT: How to do it WRONG. C/O local tailor.
