		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 1800s the white buck was worn—literally—as a tennis shoe.  So one might imagine it has certain “formal” limitations.  But, nowadays, nothing could be further from the truth. Despite its humble beginnings the traditional white buck is the shoe that put the “white shoe” in the term “white shoe firm.”  Meaning those 60s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They say there’s a sucker born ever minute, but don’t be conned by pedantic sartorial regulations.  The Memorial Day through Labor Day restriction is a bit stifling.  Certainly today’s standards would allow for a fine seersucker ensemble on Derby Day.  One would never be expected to sweat through My Old Kentucky Home in wool.

While it may seem easier, even the black sock deserves a bit of rest. That&#8217;s our more gentlemanly way of saying yes. It is wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to men’s jewelry less is, most definitely, more.  Think of the tragic tale of Mr. T, lost forever under the weight of his bountiful bling.  The lapel pin is a special case; it often marks affiliation with a school, club, regiment, country, etc.  This little pin equals a large statement of fidelity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s tricky questions like these that make gentlemen long for Spring and Summer when one can safely and comfortably forgo hosiery all-together. Who wants to try and coordinate socks with these guys anyway? That aside, the answer lies in the nuance of the distinction between matching and coordinating. Attempting to match the color of your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As long as you&#8217;re wearing the suspenders under the cummerbund and not over (yes, we&#8217;ve seen it), the answer is yes. One of the great benefits of wearing suspenders (those that clip on with the metal teeth) or braces (those that fasten with buttons on the inside of your trousers.

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing like a crisp white shirt to tell ‘em you mean business.  A well-made shirt needs no extra starchy fortification to keep it on the straight and narrow.  A fine fabric is resilient; it wants to look its best for you, and it needs very little help to do its job.  Remember, cotton [...]]]></description>

Of the three most common lapel styles, the peak is considered to be the most dramatic as attention to the wearers shoulders while slimming the waist. Think of it [...]]]></description>

Thank you, we’ll move on. OK, basically the two accepted pieces of jewelry for a man to wear are the wedding ring and wristwatch. Not [...]]]></description>

Reaching for a shirt after not wearing it for months only to find it has somehow become unwearable during its hiatus is not fun. And let’s address the number-one culprit [...]]]></description>
