No love for pleats for their functionality?

2. Baggy and boxy button down shirts aren't flattering on ANYONE (this is the way most US designers make their dress shirts). Make sure your dress shirts (or any shirt with buttons) taper down at the waist so that when you tuck them in, there isn't that strange bulge of extra fabric hanging around your belly like a phantom spare tire.

Amen to this. However another way to avoid the "phantom spare tire" is to properly tuck your shirt in and also keep it tucked in.

3. Never buy any article of clothing that has a "Dockers" tag attached to it anywhere

Why the hate for Dockers? Is this just from a formal/dressy point of view? I love them just a nice casual or business casual look. They are damn comfy too!
