Pocket Squares: When You Should Wear Them

In my opinion, there is no other accessory that reflects the confidence in a man as that of a pocket square.

Pocket squares demonstrate your self-confidence, as well as your astuteness in all matters of personal style.

Only insecure men shy away from using a pocket square, and their excuse is usually that it is too difficult to fold, difficult to coordinate, too excessive, or simply not their style.

If you aspire to be at the pinnacle of personal style and sophistication of dress, then no excuse is acceptable.

There has been much confusion that pocket squares are somehow directly linked only to neckwear and are to be worn only with business suits and formal wear.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Pocket Squares: Why You Should Wear Them

You may be wondering, why do I need to wear a pocket square? 

I must first clarify that a decorative silk pocket square in no way replaces a good white linen pocket square. And when worn for decoration, a silk pocket square must not be used for the pocket square's true function: service!

At the most opportune time and when appropriately presented, this thoughtful and respectful gesture will convey a man's true gentility.

EXAMPLE:  You and your wife have invited a colleague and his wife out for an evening dinner. While at dinner, your colleague's wife accidentally spills her wine. You should immediately reach to your breast pocket, without standing, and quietly extend to her your linen pocket square.

Fall Boot: The Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Collection For Men

Just as the scent of a freshly baked apple pie brings back memories of our grandmothers, the sight of the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot triggers the memory of my grandfather.

Whether fishing, cutting wood, bailing hay, gardening, snapping beans, husking sweet corn or just sitting under the maple tree in the back yard listening to his stories with his lip full of Copenhagen, it was the masculine journey of a young boy's summer.

That's what I love about the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Collection. It has a story, and it tells a story. It remains true to its own heritage, while embracing the heritage of another (Horween Leather Company) in honoring this classic collection of men's fall boots.

Your Guide To Men's Brown Suede Shoes

The history of the brown suede shoe dates back to one of the first visits of the Prince of Wales to America. This shoe has been talked about by style scouts and fashion writers ever since.

At first (and for a long time), there was a question as to the correct model. Then, the issue arose as to whether brown suede shoes should be worn for business or kept solely for casual wear.

I am here to report that the brown suede shoe, in its 2 most popular models -- the plain cap-toe oxford lace-up and the monk strap -- will be the high spot of fashion this summer season.
