It's not always about what you wear, but how you wear it.

The title kind of says it all, but not a lot of people understand this simple, yet very important concept. This took me many years to figure out what the Italians already knew for generations. The formula is to secretly care about what you are wearing, BUT, not look like you care. Wait what??? Yep that’s it. For example, your pocket square should look like you just stuffed it in your pocket, moved it around for about 3.2 seconds and went on with your day. Or you tied your tie and the dimple in the knot isn’t perfect, but it’s EXACTLY the way it’s supposed to be tied. Your scarf flows around your neck in between your layers of clothing and doesn’t look like you are trying to strangle yourself. The bottom line is, no matter what the occasion, you should always try to look comfortable and deliberate in your clothing choices, and if any of the sacred clothing laws are being broken, you did it on purpose and don’t care what anyone else thinks (but you kind of really do).
