men's corner: pancake collars...

i have always said...it is the small details that can make or break an outfit...and men...there are style mistakes made that greatly affect your "look"...but...never fear...there are easy easy fixes...as well...

take your collar for instance...

when you're not wearing a tie...the collar on your dress shirt flattens out and sinks beneath the lapels of your jacket...

the look? sloppy...



the solution is simple...first, look for dress shirts with firm collars that stand up on their own, framing your face...

and second...use collar stays...you know, those little plastic things...every proper dress shirt has slots for them...

the look? impressive...
