Why Cashmere?
If you've never owned a cashmere garment before you're missing out.
Authentic cashmere -- made from the soft undercoat hair of the cashmere goat -- is much lighter and smoother than other wool fabrics.
It travels light, compresses easily, dries quickly, and has the same smooth drape and durability of other wools.
It's also accordingly expensive, though the price has come down considerably in the last decade, and is considered by many too expensive for a practical ...

Dress Belts
You can buy leather belts just about anywhere these days.

Don't worry - I've got you covered here:)
Quick Overview

Comfortable- especially in cooler weather, they feel great, like a pair of warm pajamas actually. The thicker weave ensures a nice drape and their weight keeps the wind off your ...

Polo Shirts
The collared polo shirt is the gentleman's alternative to T-shirts. Beginners may picture them as exclusively worn on their own with khakis or dress slacks, but savvy dressers can make a good polo part of any number of outfits.
Your Basic Polo
The classic polo shirt is lightweight and textured, made from breathable cotton pique.
Modern styles often use a smoother weave for a slightly more streamlined appearance; either approach is acceptable. An unbuttoned collar can match the polo ...

Chambray Shirts
What is a Chambray Shirt?
Multiple spellings and multiple meanings can cause a little confusion here. "Chambray" and "cambric" are the same thing: a particular type of woven cloth, usually made from cotton, that originated in France. So if you see one spelling it means the same as the other.
However, to complicate things, "cambric" is usually used to refer to just the cloth, while "chambray shirt" has come to mean a specific men's shirt: long-sleeved, button-fronted, and collared. The ...

Espadrilles
What the Heck are Espadrilles?
If you're not a connoisseur of footwear fashions you may be new to the term "espadrilles."
They've recently taken off as part of the hipster-inspired urban fashions for affluent younger men.

A really well-dressed man wants a more casual style of shoe for social occasions and life outside the workplace.

Blue & White Dress Shirts
Why So Much Blue & White?
One of the interesting challenges of being a well-dressed man is standing out as unique without breaking any rules of fashion or etiquette.
Certain trends in menswear make this difficult -- colors are not as varied as they are in women's clothing, and most department stores and off-the-rack manufacturers offer a fairly limited palette to work with.
Dark gray and navy blue dominate suits; light blue and white (in various patterns) account for the majority of ...
