Your father didn't teach you this

I will take a break from the usual bloke banter of photos with the exception of one and give you tips that you will never get to hear from your folks or better halves not unless they have been reading my mind. And the Chu Chu Chu train of style tips  states...........
..................

1.  By now you already know that you are not allowed to leave the house without a watch, if you can't afford a Rolex buy something equally as interesting at the other end of the spectrum like a Luminox—those are really cool. Don't buy a watch trying to emulate a Rolex or other major brands. Remember you should own at least three watches one for office,  a sporty one and a watch for outdoors
  2. If you're going to play with color start with one. If you're wearing yellow, everything else should be navy and grey. Yes, I've been known to wear bright green and pink at the same time but I don't do that often. Cultivate the culture first then you can experiment later.
3. If you're putting in the effort to wear a tie, finish it off with a smart and simple tie bar. Not a decorative, big, or funny one. Just something functional.
4. A quarter-and-an-inch chocolate brown belt with a sterling buckle goes with everything from jeans to chinos to a proper suit. It may cost you  a fortune but it's a good investment.
5. If you're slim and tall and young, wear pleated pants. They accentuate every flaw you have so don't wear them if you have hips because the outcome may not be desired
6. Blokes always  have a good packing system especially on the move. Jackets should be turned inside out to protect the shoulders, and similar  things go together. Pants on the bottom, jackets on top. Socks and underwear get rolled.
7.When it comes to Chinos A big, beautiful world lies beyond the flat-front-khaki safe zone you've been hiding out in.
8. When you wear a suit with a  slim lapel,  the tie should always be slimmer than the lapel
9. When suited always remember to unbutton as you sit and button up as you stand
10. Remember the phrase NAKED MEN DO NOT MAKE STATEMENTS
I leave you with this photo comparison of a bad and savile bloke blazer. ADIOS
