Oscar Wilde once said, "A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life." A well-tied tie should have a forward arch beneath the knot. Billions of men live on earth. Few men can arch out a tie without the support of an artificial device, such as a collar pin, collar tab, or vest. Most men wear a flat tie. The tie falls straight down from the knot, producing a dejected look like the branch of a weeping willow. Tie experts claimed there are about 100 different ways to tie a tie. The three most popular tie knots are the four-in-hand, Windsor, and half Windsor. These three knots are the main...

Manufacturers spend millions of dollars each year to put important product information, such as "80's 2-ply" and "Super 120's," on labels, but they seldom educate consumers the meaning of these designations. Fashion experts rarely talk about basic technical terms perhaps because they know little about technologies. Some fashion writers, including famous ones, dare to take on this task only to give false information. They often mistake yarn size for thread count. They also make wrong recommendations, such as suggesting fabrics made of 2-ply yarns are better than fabrics made of single-ply...

Clothing stores nationwide carry a variety of good quality dress shirts but stock inferior quality dress pants. Merchants do so because consumers keep buying the wrong pants.

Contemporary publications fail in several ways to guide consumers how to dress. 1) They share the same content by copying old ideas from one another. 2) They describe every variety in each category of men's clothing but cannot tell consumers which variety is preferred. 3) They give recommendations but cannot explain why. Most experts suggest that spread collars are dressier, but no one can give sufficient reasons. 4) They are filled with unwise advice, such as wearing polyester-blend shirts for wrinkle-resistance. 5) They spread erroneous information. Ralph Lauren's publications mistake yarn...

Jacket sleeves are one of the most noticeable places in men's clothing. If a man makes a mistake on the jacket...

Men can only wear what they buy and buy what is available to them. The ways men or their loved ones shop for them have a great deal to with how men dress. Most men buy the wrong clothing, which is one of the main reasons that today's men dress poorly. To avoid paying a fool's price, consumers either pay the same price for a better merchandise, or buy the same quality merchandise at a lower price. Nevertheless, consumers must first know how to detect the quality of merchandise. Dr. Ivan Chen examines why consumers keep buying the wrong clothing and teaches consumers how to find the best buys...
