Do not under any circumstances wear the following: hawaiian shirts, light blue pants, white loafers, overalls (of course), combining black and brown leather, cartoon characters on socks or boxers, tighty-whites, cowboy hats/cowboy boots, nose/eyebrow piercings, the bottom of the waistband anywhere but on the top of the hips. Also, aviod over stocking pockets. Wallet is okay for your back pocket - but not for extended sitting periods. Have somewhere else for mobile phones, keys, pocketPCs and such. Overstufing ruins the lines of pants.
Match shoes, watch, and belt at all times. If you're wearing black leather shoes, wear a watch with a black leather band or silver band and a dark grey or black face, and wear the exact same hue of black in your leather belt. Have a watch and belt for ever pair of shoes. It doesn't make you gay, ity just makes you look like your act is together.
Friday? Go with a light colored oxford with a blue, green, or khaki suit. No tie necessary. Black shoes go suits that are black, blue and taupe colors. Cordovan (burgundy leather shoes) goes with blue, khaki, and some brown tones. Brown shoes go with tan, khaki, and light green. Friday is a good time to walk into your office with a nice pair of shades, too. Just like everything else, sunglasses have to balance with the rest of what you're wearing. Warm tones are more yellow-based; cool tones are blue-based. There are generally two "temperatures" of sunglass hue. A quick way to figure out which world you fall into is to stand in front of a mirror in daylight and hold up some produce next to your skin (yes, you read this correctly). If you look better next to a raspberry (contains more blue), you're cool. If, on the other hand, you look peachy next to a tomato (more yellow), you're warm. Light hair and skin would pair well with powder blue, while dark features match navy blue. Royal blue would work for somewhere in between. Men with muted or softer coloring look better in "dusty or hazy" colors that have a touch of gray or are faded. (President Bill Clinton is an example of muted coloring.) Men with darker complexions and hair look better in bright colors-crisp, clear, rich colors that pop out. (Here's something that you've probably never read before: Sylvester Stallone is bright.) Gustafson offers this white-shirt tip: "Cool" men should wear white shirts. "Warm" men should stick to the ivory or cream variations of white.
I'll be back on later hen I think of more.
