I sit here at my regular Wednesday morning hang out CU and thinking about what to write about. Inspiration for me has been lacking lately. I am concerned that my children are sapping the creative juices out of my brain one tantrum at a time.

I frequently am at the airport going from flight to flight and the material just waiting to be photographed and Tumbled are too many to count. The average male business traveler is a disaster. I have a very close friend who on several commutes to the airport has donned this unsightly cream sport coat and I just cringe!

I am of the thought that white on you as a dress item should be a dress shirt or a buckskin shoe. The white jeans are a disastrous choice and the white tee is acceptable for replaying Fonzie for Halloween or under your dress shirt. Now, I am talking dress attire not sports.                       Men's Wearhouse

Back to the traveler. The sleeves are too long, they button the bottom button on a two button. I recently watched a documentary on the Irish pubs in Dublin for a trip this Fall with the family to "get some color" as Lucy would say to Ricky and the narrator, Frank McCourt, yes that Frank, God rest his soul, author of Angela's Ashes had both of his buttons in their respective holes. Was he not paying attention to the Duke?

By the way, I am excited about my trip to Dublin. Thanks, Frank!

So much of this fuss would be reduced if the man would only take time to make alterations where needed. The sleeves, pant legs, sides of the coat and collar. Four! only four areas where special attention should be given before attending any public functions. Now if you want to be Tom Cruise and let it all hang out listening to Bob Seger, by all means. Do the splits wearing your unhemmed slacks.

The message here is preparation. We are so busy finalizing our projects and rewriting our presentations that the aesthetics are left to chance and most often than not an image better forgotten.

Look towards the tailor shop upon leaving your mens store of choice and trust his needle and eye. Allow him to better create a shape for you to display at your next meeting.

 Thanks, Daniel. Much better.
