Back to basics, let learn our ABC (1/2)

Hello gentlemen,

To my mind, a good way to start this blog would be to define what we really need.

Less is more
Living in Paris, I was used to tell my friends that they only need 7 good quality clothes (basics), instead of buying 35 cheap and crappy ones. I confess that I never succeeded myself into walking the talk, but the idea is there: buy quality instead of quantity.

In the end, you could even spend less money, and definitely dress better.


The fashions change, the basics survive
Maybe have you noticed how quick fashion change from one year to the other (or maybe should you look better around you haha). Anyway, there is no need to follow the trends buying the last trendy tee that everybody has in Saint James clubs. If you buy good basics that fit you, you will already dress better than 90% of the men you cross.

Spend your money the right way
Loads of men wear Armani boxer shorts, Boss tees and LV cufflinks… and in the end only invest in a poor denim (the light blue overwhashed ones people seem to wear since they are born) … this is silly! Nobody cares about the brand of your underwear!
Moreover, quality clothes usually stay in good shape really longer than poor ones (especially true for shoes and denims), so get the best and sweap the rest!

To be continued…

Bien à vous,
Jeff
