Fit Clinic — Hawaiian Shirt
Is your summer party shirt Fun Size?
Much like catching a respected coworker in head-to-toe Furries fetish gear at the liquor store on Saturday night, a tacky ‘novelty’ shirt can make people wonder (NOT in a good way) about the person wearing it.
While prints can certainly be a refreshing alternative to solid colors, party shirts like the Hawaiian jump the shark [...]
Fit Clinic – Fall Jacket
Ever been paralyzed by options? Should you cut the white wire or yellow wire? Take the red pill or blue pill? Create the next Google or eat an extra large pizza by yourself? We’ve all been there. So it’s understandable if this analysis paralysis has left you out in the cold. Literally. There are more outerwear options [...]
Fit Clinic – Cargo Shorts
We can see where the confusion comes from. The word cargo implies storage and bulk. Plus, look! Deep cavernous pockets that can hold your wallet, your piece, and every device you’ve ever purchased from the Apple store (cept for your iPad), and the requisite chargers.

Fit Clinic – Khakis
Khakis are ubiquitous in the spring and summer. We know you’re probably shy about staring at another man’s crotch region on the street so it’s understandable (but not excusable) that you may not be sure what good fitting khakis look like. Not only is getting the right size in both the waist and leg important, the style, color [...]
Fit Clinic – Weekend Wear
Casual does not equal sloppy or frumpy. Even when you’re off duty you can still have plenty of swagger without dressing up.
Sweatshirt- Keep the cut of masculine rather than round. Front pouches are only okay for kangaroos. Front zips are good for lengthening the torso.
Jeans – this is as relaxed as you wanna select. There is never [...]
Fit Clinic – Untucked Dress Shirt
Dress shirts and button downs can be worn untucked if they’re bottom hem (sorry for these next words here) hits you at the crotch.
If you’d like to wear a white undershirt, a V-neck ensures no underachiever’s ascot.
When it comes to the shirts width, heed this ancient Chinese proverb I just made up, “May you be [...]
