THE TOP TEN

1. Unbutton the bottom button of your jacket. It’s not intended to be buttoned.
2. Same goes for your vest.
3. Brown shoes, brown belt. Black shoes, black belt.
4. Your jacket sleeve should be short enough to show some shirt cuff - about half an inch.
5. The only men who should wear black suits during the day are priests, undertakers, secret agents, funerals attendees and yokels.
6. Only wear a tie if you’re also wearing a suit or sportcoat (or, very casually, a sweater). Shirt, tie and no jacket is the wedding uniform of a nine-year-old.
7. Flip flops are great for the pool and the beach and not great for anything else. (Some say this is a matter of taste. We agree. If you have any taste, you will only wear flip-flops at the beach or pool.)
8. Your tie knot should have a dimple.
9. Your tie should reach your belt line - it shouldn’t end above your belt or below it.
10. Belt or suspenders. Never belt and suspenders.
