10 ComMANdments

There are certain fashion crimes even Mother Teresa could not forgive. And then there are fashion practices that get you to a zen state of apparel. Here are the 10 ComMANdments of style.

Read, practice, repeat daily. Ask questions if necessary. Good luck reaching Fashion Heaven. We’ll see you there.

1. Thou shalt not take my image in vain by wearing Birkenstocks

2. Thou shalt not disfigure thy form with pleated pants

3. Thou shalt never wear dad jeans

4. Thou shalt never pretend sneakers are dress shoes

5. Thou shalt never regard polo shirts as style

6. Thou shalt never regard swag Tshirts as clothing

7. Thou shalt wear clothing that fits thy glorious form

8. Thou shalt show distinction in your attire (stand out from the crowd!)

9. Thou shalt always layer when possible

10. Thou shalt accessorize with belts, hats, cufflinks, and pocket squares

And a bonus ComMANdment (because Moses was like that): be comfortable in the clothes you are in. Confidence is the best accessory.
