Remember when I said I wanted to get back to writing about more personal topics? Well, I guess I just jumped right in. I was on Refinery29 {holy wow!} last week, talking about being single in SF. I’m calling it my own personal Carrie Bradshaw moment, for sure.

You will always be a step above the rest. It does not matter if you are going for dapper or disheveled — what really counts is that you got up in the morning, or went out at night and you thought about the way. you. look. Even if you picked your jeans up off the floor or didn’t get the chance to shower, the mere addition of the tie says that you put some effort into being.
Men’s clothing hasn’t changed in eons; it’s the same basic pieces styled different ways. It’s surprising that it is so easy to stand out in crowd. But trust me, if you wear a tie, you will.
My heart belongs to boys who wear ties.**
My advice is simply this: Try it. Trust me. But…just in case you want a more expert opinion, here are some tips from one of the most stylin’ guys I know {he happens to wear ties}. Blaine says:
*+ 10 points if you pull off the pocket square.
**+ a milliondy points if you have enough swagger to pull off a bow tie. yep, a milliondy.

I’ve been getting requests about men’s style recently, and specifically questions about denim, so I decided I would share some {of what I consider} foolproof rules for buying and looking awesome in it. There are 3 major factors you want to consider: length, fit, and wash.
Go for jeans that at least reach the top part of your shoe sole/heel {wear your shoes with the highest heel for try-on!}. A little bit of wear at the hemline is cool, but jeans that are so long you’re tripping on them are not. Look polished, not nerdy or sloppy!
Straight leg is definitely current. Bootcut is fine, too. The best advice I can give is to stay moderate on this one. Don’t go TOO baggy or TOO skinny {unless you’re going for gangsta or hipster, in which case, have at it.} Relaxed Straight, Straight, and Slim Straight fits will um, accentuate the positive and look polished at the same time.
Stick with your basic denim washes {that means blues, fellas — no white or tan or stonewash, prettyplease}. The darker the wash the more formal and dressed up they can be.
Ladies, if you haven’t already, check out all dudes learned how to dress and it sucks. Hilarious.
