Fashion For Men

1.  Can I wear sneakers with a suit?
For those of you who like to wear suits and still remain casual it is possible to wear sneakers with suits.  Of course this is a question of personal style.  However, the suit should be modern, and the occasion should be hip.  Take for instance a cotton suit, two buttoned, with flat front pants, and a pair of the trendy euro sneakers. Your set for an evening film premier, restaurant opening, or even a casual cocktail soirée.

2.  When is it appropriate to wear an untucked shirt?
It's better to wear tailor fitted shirts untucked as opposed to full cut shirt.  Full cut shirts generally look sloppy when worn untucked.  An untucked shirt can be worn over a pair of modern flat front pants or a pair of dressier dark jeans.  This would be appropriate for dinner parties, clubs, and other such occasions.

3.  How long should a tie be?
Ideally the tip of the tie should just touch the buckle of your belt.  In order to adjust the length you can change the way you tie your knot, or you can lengthen the smaller end of the tie.  Ties in specialty stores can also be custom ordered for length if you are taller or shorter than average.

4.  Are wrist watches an important part of a man's wardrobe?
Absolutely! Men's jewelry makes a major statement.  Wrist watches are to be worn with confidence.  They can be used to draw attention to casual and formal outfits alike.  It's better to have at least two nice watches to mix and match with your wardrobe, one for the casual days, and another for formal events.

5.  Is it acceptable for men to wear thong sandals?
Definitely, but there is one qualification, make sure you get a pedicure first!  The sandal allows men to dress down but still step out in style.  The thong sandal works with most sportswear, such as cargo pants, shorts, and jeans.  Pair them with your favorite suit if you're headed to a beach wedding.
