Around the house, hood, and that’s about it one could knock it around. But not to serious social functions.

Is it me or do some men do not know how to dress? The oversized suits, the baggy jeans with blazers, the wild colors that are supposed to be inspired by Kanye West, all are just horrible. Boo.

Some older black dude that went to FIT that I worked with and lives in Harlem. In fact, he designs his own clothing and others… I should go to him when I move back to BK… he was a really good dude.

I thought that the designer’s dream guy was like a 40 slim… I’m like a 42. Boo.

And with all the damn thrift shops in NYC I can’t even find one to go to. Need to get on my grind.

“designers that cater to the tall and skinny” are you kidding me? you’re a designer’s dream!

on an average person’s budget Dolce & Gabbana isn’t all that practical. But you can get a similar effect when you buy jacket’s that fit your shoulder’s and arms and have them tailored. If you don’t already use a tailor go find one. you’d be surprised what a good value it is.

Learn to love thrift stores and resale shops. Look for quality fabrics and solid construction, then use the money you save at the tailor. Afterall, when it looks sharp, it doesn’t matter what’s on the label.

Man, I really love this falls upcoming selection. I’m going to try to stay as close to these styles as possible… but working at Abercrombie doesn’t really allow that.

And do you know of any designers that cater to the tall and skinny? I’m 6’2” and its really hard to find a jacket to fit right like the rest of those men in those pics. My damn arms are too long.

I HEART FASHION!!!!
