A stylish start to the week from last week’s lessons learned…..except this week, I want to share a few “hard and fast” rules given to me by the most stylish, heterosexual man in Washington, Mr. Neuman!! While I may not agree with all of his rules as absolutes, they all hold value when considering what it takes to be dapper:
- T-shirts: They are underwear and therefore, should be worn under your shirt at all times. There are no exceptions
- Collared Shirts: There is never an occasion where a collared shirt of some kind isn’t in style and appropriate. Similar to the abovementioned, there are no exceptions
- Flip Flops: No!
- Tennys (or Sneakers): They, along with other rubber-soled shoes, should never be worn with dress slacks or the like
- Mixing Jeans & Dress Shoes: Mr. Neuman believes this to be as bad as mixing light and dark alcohol…and you know what happens there!
See. Do. Be. Dapper…there are others but this should suffice to kick off your Monday right. I am confident these Neuman-isms will not lead you wrong. Now if he could just chime in to share a few more…
