Hit me with your best shots! Inspiration behind the question- Had a recent travel nightmare, flight cancelled and stuck in Atlanta with only the clothes on my back. Bags sent to final destination. I’m in a Linen blend blazer, slacks and that’s what I’m now going to be spending the night in. Folks were mad (understandable) but screaming at the agent isn’t going to help. Got a rental car and a hotel and some sleep then drove home the next day. Hanging up the clothes in the bathroom and taking a hot shower basically steams them for you, basic touch up with the iron and I’m looking good as new. Next time though- definitely a change of clothes in the carry on even for a domestic flight… Would love to hear what you guys have as your travel tips for looking good, even when things go bad.

I'm watching the World Cup match featuring Mexico and South Korea, and keep finding myself cringing every time the South Korean head coach is shown. The problem (which shouldn't be a problem)? He's wearing a polo shirt with all the buttons buttoned... I don't know why, but I can't stand seeing a polo shirt with all the buttons buttoned. It's worse, to my eye, than a tailored jacket with all the buttons buttoned. I honestly have no idea why it bothers me so much, but it does. So, what say ye? What style choice - or choices - bother you that really shouldn't?

Guys, I (mistakenly) took a look at some of the men’s style communities on Reddit and what a dumpster fire! Downright mean, poor advice, criticism without the constructiveness…. Just sad. It reminds me of a quote I once heard: “If a mouse laughs at a cat, it means its hole is nearby”. Weak people act brave when they have protection, in that realm it is anonymity I guess. The question remains- why?

Ok boys, it’s already real hot in North Carolina. I’d been living in (Southern) Italy the last few years, and swear by linen in warm weather. Classy, comfortable and incredibly effective to help with the heat- however- nobody here seems to be wearing it. Except me, of course. Dudes have been stopping me and saying “what’s that?” Or “how can you be in long sleeves/ pants right now?” And have genuinely never heard of linen clothes. The real question is… why? Are most dudes just opposed to branching out from what is standard?

I want to understand about men's bag as a fashion item. It is surely the most utility item a man can carry. But, often, due to lack of awareness, I just carry my back pack (which has very traditional looks). And I am beginning to realize that back packs are too old school and lack that oomph. Please help me here. What kind of a bag would you carry? If you already are into this, please post some pics and details.
