Clothing for Men Buying Guide

Let's be honest, guys. We care about what we look like, but we differ in how much energy we want to put into our appearance. Here are some guides to make getting dressed a little easier and clearer. Need to learn the basics?  Consult our Men's Guide To Getting Dressed.

Seasonal Guides

To Wear On Top

Shirts and ties are part of workaday attire for most working professionals. When combined with a great suit, they can create a powerful image. Don't be afraid to stray away from the traditional white dress shirt  and power tie. Go for a little something extra with a DKNY ,Hickey Freeman ,Brioni  or a classic Armani tie .

T-shirts  are mostly casual, but many men prefer to always wear one--often underneath dress shirts, almost like underwear. You can also layer them under button-ups . Long sleeve tees will keep you warm and stylish in the winter.

Sweaters  are another great accessory. In the workplace, these can be worn over a dress shirt, and frequently replace the sport coat in more casual environments. Some zip necks  might even be appropriate. This category also includes sweatshirts : hooded  and classic  versions are available.

Our Sport Coats and Blazers Guide will help you find the right look for you. When looking for men's suits , there are several styles to chose from: browse through the options of two-button  or three-button  and notice that there are differing lapel sizes. Make your outfit pop by layering a vest  underneath.

The Outerwear Guide will assist you in deciding what type of coat goes with what occasion; you don't want to wear a leather jacket  over a suit or top a grungy t-shirt with an overcoat ! Our guide will also help you find rain slickers , a wardrobe staple, as well as light spring jackets for men , and ski jackets, great for staying toasty on and off the slopes.

Full Outfits and Bottoms

Our Guide to Men's Suits is indispensable, even if you work in a casual environment. You never know when you'll need a dark suit  for a wedding or a business meeting. Don't forget to make sure that with that great suit, you'll want to pick out some nice dress shirts  in addition to a nice tie . The suit alone just won't work.

Fitness apparel for your workout is crucial. It's not just about looking right; it's really about comfort and aiding your workout. Look for shorts ,sweatpants , and loose tees. Stock up plenty of athletic socks  and sneakers .

Tuxedos  aren't just for James Bond in Casino Royale ; they are for special occasions as well.

Underwear--don't leave home without 'em. Even though few people will see you in your briefs, you'll want to be comfortable in them anyway! Boxers or briefs?

Trousers can't be overlooked either. Look for dress pants  to match that shirt, and when it's appropriate to wear your jeans . Summertime? Put on a comfy pair of shorts  or branch out into cargos, chinos ,khakis , and carpenters.

Accessories

Sunglasses can make you look really cool or really dorky. Try to find a pair that fits the form of your face (oval, triangular, etc.) so that you look your best.

Watches and cuff links  are the most common men's accessories. Spend time considering the watch you want to wear, as it will add or subtract from the image you're projecting. Of course cuff links are to be worn only with French cuff shirts .

Hats aren't just for Gene Kelly movies--they are especially useful on a rainy day. Choose from baseball caps ,fedoras ,beanies ,newsboy caps , and more.

Belts  should match your shoes whenever possible; make sure you have both brown  and black belts  for dressy occasions!

Shoes are essential and there is an amazing selection out there! For everything from dress shoes to sandals and boots, our guides will make sure you're fashionable and comfortable.
