Are you wearing the wrong size clothes? Before and After Photos

2011-12-03T13:35:02-08:00

Steve wanted to update his wardrobe and improve his style. When we learned the sizes he had been buying and wearing, we understood why he didn't feel confident about his current style and wardrobe.

Steve had been buying clothes in the wrong size and fit for years. He had built a wardrobe for a shorter man with a larger physique. He made up for it by wearing thick, boxy, undershirts to fill up the extra room - for pants and shirts that were sometimes two sizes too big.

To demonstrate this point, we sent him clothing that was similar to what he already had and liked, but in the correct size and fit. See the before and after photos to understand the difference it made.

The clothes make the man, but only if they fit the man.

Wearing the wrong size and fit for your body, can make even nice clothing look cheap and sloppy -regardless of how much money you spent on it.

Thank you Steve for sharing your wardrobe makeover photos with us and for being such a great Hendricks Park client. You look great!

How to Dress Well on the African Safari

2011-10-26T08:50:56-07:00

Hendricks Park client Jeremy and his beautiful wife Jenny went on Safari in Tanzania this summer. They shared this fantastic image with me (along with some amazing shots of lions, zebras and more). Jeremy's outfit is both stylish and functional thanks to a slub cotton deconstructed zip polo and glenplaid canvas pants; both by Agave.

If John Wayne Were a Belt... He'd be BAD.

2011-08-26T09:00:00-07:00

Shoes. Belt. Confidence: The Style Triad.

These three things have the power to make or break any outfit. Nail each one, and welcome to the world of style. The first two often lead to the third, so make 'em good. Make 'em last. Make 'em BAD.

I've worked with Bill Adler Designs since I first launched my company, and I dare you to find brand with more masculine cool factor. Plus the craftsmanship is outstanding — which means you stand out among men.

By now, I'm convinced: If John Wayne were a belt, he'd be BAD.

Featuring Guest Author & Hendricks Park Men’s Style Expert Michelle Miller

As you may have noticed, saddle shoes are everywhere now...

Do My Pants Fit? A "Good Fit" Guide for Men

2011-08-17T14:38:28-07:00

When it comes to your pants, do you know what a good fit looks like?

If no, you're not alone. Most men really don't know how pants can and should fit, so many settle for "fits-ish." To the onlooker, this just looks sloppy. On the flip side, a great fit from waist down creates instant polish and class — and says "I know what I'm doing."

So what does a good fit look like, and how can you tell? Click here for a graphic guide.

Enjoy!

It's so much fun to work with grooms like Walker, making it easy to dress well through this milestone in their lives — and saving them the time and hassle of shopping.

2011-08-07T15:00:00-07:00

Featuring Guest Author and New York style writer, Dustin Enrique Larsen of Apple to Apple.

There are many things a man can do to be "stylish," but when it comes to truly expressing your own sense of style, the key concept to embrace is layering. Incorporating layering into your everyday routine has a multitude of benefits.

Layering...

...provides an unlimited number of ensemble combinations — especially when you take a “layering approach” when purchasing new items to add to your existing wardrobe.

...gives you numerous opportunities to experiment and show off your own personal style.

...allows you to be prepared no matter what the weather or occasion.

How to do it

To truly reap the benefits of layering, follow what I call the “The Three’s Company Rule.” Click here to find out how!
