The T-shirt
The T-shirt is as casual as it gets. With its underwear origins (and
for many still its only domain) the T-shirt is in this author’s opinion
appropriate for working out, beach wear, and situations where a close
fitting garment that is unlikely to get tangled is called for. However
in the US, a quality designer T-shirt is accepted as casual summer wear;
you won’t get a second look if you choose to wear one to class, to the
local café, or out to a bar with friends.
When wearing a T-shirt, ensure the fabric is 100% cotton and that it
is not so thin as to be see-through. Pay attention to proper fit in the
torso area – too loose of a shirt only makes you look smaller than you
are while too tight of a shirt makes you look like an overstuffed
sausage.

Hot Weather Dressing Tips for man
These three words sum up how a sharp dressed man clothes himself during the summer months.
Clean – A gentleman is showered, well-groomed, and his clothing is free from stains. He realizes that although he may perspire, he does not have to smell nor look like he stepped out of a sauna. If you need to shower twice a day, then do so. Use antiperspirant deodorant, and consider soaps with menthol that will help cool your body. A sharp dressed man never wears stained clothing, even if he believes others won’t notice. His hair is washed and its ends cut regularly, with excess hair on the back of the neck trimmed. Invest in a pair of nose hair clippers (which can be used on the ears as well), opt for a close shave, and treat your skin to lotions that improve health and appearance. Need more guidance here? Visit Tyler Sims at ForeMan; his website’s grooming guide is full of great info that answers dozens of questions.

Dresing Tips
Getting Dressed
- To survivors: The general rule is to use your unaffected arm to dress the affected side first. To undress, take the garment off the unaffected side, then remove it from the affected side.
- To caregivers: When you are helping someone dress, always tell them what you are doing first so you don’t startle them.
- Return to your normal daily dressing routines as soon as you can.
- Loose-fitting clothes and silky fabrics are easier to slip in and out of than polyester or flannel.
- Lay out your clothes before dressing.
- Dress while sitting. It is easiest.
- When dressing, use your strong arm to dress your weak side first.
- When undressing, pull your strong arm or leg out of your clothes first.

Tips on Dressing Taller
1. Monochromatic Color Themes
Along the same lines as minimizing visual clutter, removing contrasting color from your appearance helps streamline the way you look. Keeping all your clothes within a fairly consistent color theme, especially a dark one, will create an illusion of height. Different color shades are fine–just try to keep it loosely monochrome.
When you do wear different colors or different shades of the same color, try to weight the darker colors toward the bottom half of your body. That way people’s attention starts down near your feet and travels upward. Dark trousers with a lighter shirt create a lengthening effect; a darker shirt with lighter pants shortens your appearance.

Deciphering the Invitation Dress
A man’s life is full of moments that will require him to dress a certain
way. From his high school graduation to walking his daughter down the
aisle, a man needs to understand the basics of formal, semi-formal, and
casual dressing so that he knows when to wear what and how. Because a
gentleman understands his clothing is not just about him; his personal
presentation is a reflection of the respect he shows to those around
him.
