10. Disregard trends – Beware of buying something just because it’s “in” right now – stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you so much money!
11. Don’t be a sucker for brand names – Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying it simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality and style. Ask yourself, “Would I buy this if there was no logo on it?”
12. Continually cultivate your image – Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships. Oscar Schoffler, longtime fashion editor of Esquire once said, “Never underestimate the power of what you wear. After all, there’s just a small bit of yourself sticking out at the collar and cuff. The rest of the world sees what you drape on your frame.” Kinowear Bible

7. Never underestimate the power of details – The last thing on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of throwing together the main parts of your outfit. “Details” can include a scarf, a subtle pocket square, or the way you tie your tie knot.
8. Invest in a superb pair of shoes – If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.
9. Fashion Tees with logos – When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and go for a classic v-neck tee or something artsy (check out threadless.com). Kinowear Bible

4. Pay attention to your supporting pieces - Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.
5. Never go shopping alone – Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion.
6. Stay a notch above - Don’t overdo it to a fault, but dare to take some risks. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like your boss. Kinowear Bible

1. Fit is King – The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic.
2. Keep it simple – You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more.
3. Change the way you see casual – casual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently. Kinowear Bible

Hang Your Hat: Friday 4/17 Edition - 3,700 Sqft Contemporary Home Made From Shipping Containers
A Dallas architect has taken 14 shipping containers and transformed them into a stunningly modern 3,700-square-foot three-bedroom home.
The home, dubbed ‘PV14‘, also boasts a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people, a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor and a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and the sparkling lights of the city’s downtown.
Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that became the foundation for his home.
Dallas architects Matt Mooney and Michael Gooden have transformed 14 shipping containers into a stunningly modern home
The 3,700 sq ft three-bedroom home, dubbed ‘PV14,’ boasts a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor that reflects the two-story glass-paneled tower, also built out of the containers
The home also features a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people and has a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas
Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that built his home and thus all the ceilings were left exposed
The ceilings have been left exposed and the shipping container gates remained unpainted when they were converted into bedroom doors.
Architect Michael Gooden, who worked with Mooney on PV14, said the designers wanted people to know what they were standing in when they stepped into the home.
Gooden said the house’s walls are made of sheet rock, which would make the home look ‘normal’ if the ceilings weren’t left exposed, he told D Magazine.

Because the walls of the shipping containers were removed, Gooden said columns had to be placed around the house to restore structural integrity to the materials

Spray foam was also used between the building layers, to provide insulation that the containers can’t provide, according to Inhabitat.
But one of the most striking uses of the containers is the two-story, glass-paneled tower that overlooks and mirrors the shape of the house’s long, slim pool, which carries the tower’s reflection.
On the house’s open-floor first level, which is dedicated to entertaining, the polished cement used for the ground corresponds to the sleek steel of the shipping containers revealed overhead.

The upstairs levels are outfitted with maple wood floors to complement the views of the nearby park and lake, which provide a wallpaper for the house thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows
Deep porches protect the home from direct sunlight while still allowing natural light to seep in

Mooney knew he wanted to build a home out of shipping containers 25 years ago, but it was only just recently he and his wife Barbara, a retired nurse, found the perfect spot – in the same neighborhood where they had lived for 23 years.
A crew of 18-wheelers, with an audience of 200 people, transported the shipping containers to the chosen spot, which is on one of the highest elevations in the city – offering one of the best views.
And after more than two years of design and construction, and a final tour for the Dallas chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the couple are finally preparing to move into their new home.
