1, 2, 3

It has been said (oh so many times before by kindergarten kids) that "sharing is caring", so keeping that in mind, I'd like to share three style mistakes we all have either done or about to do.
Check them out below:


Mistake #1: The Schlumpy Leather Jacket.




There is NOTHING modern (or retro cool in my case) about a leather jacket that fits like a rain poncho.


What to do?



When trying on a new leather jacket, keep going down a size until you can’t get it on, then buy the next size up. It should feel snug as a wetsuit but will take your body’s shape over time. The coolest style right now? The bomber you see here.


Mistake # 2: The Barack Obama Jeans



Whitewashed high-waisted jeans aren’t just dorky—they also emphasize all the wrong parts of your body.

What to do?




Medium-rise raw denim jeans sit at the most flatter place (on your hips), follow your legs (instead of saddlebagging out from your waist), and form-fit to you as you break them in. Oh, and while you’re at it, replace the Seinfeld-esque running shoes with some lace-ups or classic sneaks.


Mistake #3: The Cheap Printed Tie




Let’s pretend this tie isn’t a little ugly. And tied too long. It still isn’t working. Why? A cheap thin silk tie gets you an unacceptably tiny knot.

What to do?



Go for a sturdier silk, which will give you a solid knot. Plus, keep any patterns understated. Also, a quick note on length: The tip of your tie should not hang below the waistline of your pants
