Upgrade your Friday.

If you are like 90% of the men in this city, you wear clothing that is way too big for you. 

 I am not saying that you should run out and invest in a full spandex outfit (a' la Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Professor) but your clothes should not look like you are swimming in them.  Not only does it look sloppy, you look bigger than you actually are.

In this months GQ, they have picked men off the street and given them the oppertunity to upgrade their look.   Pulling them out of their business casual slump, the editors of GQ made these men look smart and put together (and also nearly unrecognizable.)

Although I can't offer an upgrade, there are a few simple ways to amp up your look.  
  • With pants or trousers- look for a slimmer leg and AVOID pleats.  Sorry if this crushes you, but pleated khakis are not cool.  
  • With a blazer- go down in the size until the seam hits your shoulder points.
  • With a casual shirt or button down- the bottom of the shirt should be long enough to tuck in without going past your hip points and should graze your torso without being tight.
