This guy has no shirt on, black dress trousers and black dress shoes–he has no backpack or briefcase where a shirt may be hidden inside…I want to know where this guy was coming from or going to?!?!?!?
Half Naked
On the flip side, I like the “Choppers” signage in the background of this picture…it makes it seem almost OK.
[Dear guy at North Beach with the "Love Me Or Hate Me" tattoo on your back], et al:
More and more over the past decade people have been branding themselves with body art. I’ll make this short and sweet: don’t get a stupid and/or overly large tattoo…even if you really really want one and think it’ll look really really cool. I’m not saying don’t ever get a tattoo–some tattoos really are unique and say something about the wearer…I am saying, don’t permanently style yourself like a jackass or fad-whore:

Whether you like it or not, people judge you. At least make them judge you about your personality instead of your obvious poor taste. Additionally, giant tattoo’s are an affordable alternative to nothing…your money could probably be better spent.
If you already have a stupid/overly large tattoo, there are luckily evolving new technologies for removal including lasers, creams, and even plastic surgery. Or, maybe you could just get famous via google images??
While spending some time on the streets looking for the smartly dressed gentlemen of the city of Minneapolis last week, I noticed quickly that there are few in the city to be found–although to be fair, it was cold and rainy–but when did that stop the MN men from anything?!
Something I DID see a lot (read: altogether too much) of is a regular LKc Style NO-NO: the white undershirt visible under the button down (as shown by this wine-swilling dork below).
Wine Swilling Dork, Thanks Robbin Sports
The undershirt is just that: an UNDER shirt. Don’t misunderstand me–you should be wearing undershirts, especially if you’re of the sweaty-man variety…BUT we don’t want to see it on your neckline or, worse, through the button down shirt. Would you walk around with your underwear hanging out?!?! OK, some of you do…but that’s for another post.
If you have problems with a showing undershirt, consider buttoning another button up or find shirts where the 2nd to top button is just below the clavicle (that goofy bone at the base of your neck), OR purchase undershirts with a V-neck.

I’m not saying Brad Pitt does it best, I’m just sayin:
Brad Pitt, not too showy
Now that we are past a record brisk June, it’s time to talk summer shop: swimsuits.
If you are a normal person, you probably aren’t in love with wearing a swimsuit all summer long. We all have things we’d rather hide than display to the world via half-nakedness.
Nonetheless, there are fun times to be had at the beach or pool and so, you should try to look as good as possible in a swimsuit! As always, I like to promote finding the best fit for YOU.
A few fitting factors:
Tip Off: On Sale Now @ BonTon
1. Don’t buy too big. You probably are unless you’re in the Speedo variety. Buy just above the knee with medium leg holes and fitted around your waist–not falling down!
2. Forget all the pockets. Seriously, do you carry around a briefcase in those things? At most you need one or two small pockets for a card/cash and maybe keys.
3. Consider colors. If you’re slimmer, think of doing a bold but not too crazy pattern; if you have a little love around the waist, think of doing a darker solid color. Any pattern should be age appropriate–don’t wear a swimsuit w/ surfing sharks on it unless you’re 5.
