Wardrobe Tips for Men...

Have you ever wanted to give the man in your life a fashion makeover?  Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones whose spouse enjoys you picking out clothing for him?  Better yet...likes to go shopping with you!  I learned where my boundaries of dressing my husband were after our first Christmas that we were engaged.  I had bought my preppy, lifetime card-carrying member of the Polo Ralph Lauren fan club, husband-to-be what I thought would be a more updated modern ensemble from Kenneth Cole.  He willingly tried it on while I tried on the eight pleats per side golf shorts his mom picked out for me.  We both came out of our dressing areas at the same time and both burst out into laughter - laughing at ourselves and each other.  I got the hint his mother was sending and vowed to get more appropriate golf clothes that were conservative yet more my personal style and Matt agreed to try (and, thankfully, adopt) better fitting flat front khakis and the more modern cut golf and polo shirts from RL.  In the end, we both were able to update our looks, yet keep our personal styles in tact.
