It is undeniable that Mad Men has influenced for the better men’s perception of how they should dress for the office. The show’s hot shot (in both the boardroom and the bedroom) Don Draper especially has inspired men to style their hair and attire themselves in tailored suits that practically brag about their buff physique. But it is also undeniable that after watching the male leads wear the same old black, gray, and blue structured suits for four seasons, their office wardrobe becomes hardly noticeable anymore. And this is something that men, whether you are the scrappy upstart or an executive in the firm, should not aspire to: being boring, predictable, and repetitive in your office dress (or any dress for that matter). Rather, men should personalize their suit and tie uniform to achieve their distinctive look. And one of the easiest ways to do so? Wear patterned garments. Play with conservative checks and stripes but also experiment with the more unconventional madras, polka dot, and floral prints. Incorporate a small dose of pattern into your suit with a printed pocket square and/or tie. Be a bit bolder by swapping out your white dress shirt for a microscopically-checked gingham shirt or a subtle floral shirt (like this one). Or take a risk by pairing several printed separates in one look, like the dotted tie, check shirt, and pinstripe suit combination above. Just make sure the pieces form a muted, monochromatic color scheme so you don’t look clownishly mismatched. A patterned look can still be conservative, respectable, and boardroom-ready, but the details will make you stand out.

Would you be willing to change one thing you usually wear...for one day.....to GET the girl?

Think about it....battling in wars, composing symphonies, jumping off really tall buildings, buying Ford Pintos ...do you really think guys did this just because they actually LIKED it? My hypothesis is ...get this....that Guys did crazy stuff for women! Revelation.

Try wearing green instead of blue on Wednesday...or maybe a vest instead of a blazer....of course you could instead, write a sonnet or software or something... 

I don't know....I'm just saying....

Com'on - read this most funny excerpt on how men do so much for women, in "Scientific Fundamentalist" by Satoshi Kanazawa. I suggest doing something less taxing like wearing suspenders instead of a belt or a Goorin cap instead of your usual beanie. That's probably easier than learning to ride a unicycle for example. 

{"paint portraits and cathedral ceilings, make scientific discoveries, play in rock bands, and write new computer software, in order to impress women so that they will agree to have sex with them.  There would be no civilization, no art, no literature, no music, no Beatles, no Microsoft, if sex and mating were a male choice.  Men have built (and destroyed) civilizations in order to impress women so that they might say yes.  Women are the reason men do everything. [Noooooo - Say its not so!]
Once again, my personal hero Bill Maher captures the essence of female choice perfectly, when he quips:  “For a man to walk into a bar and have his choice of any woman he wants, he would have to be the ruler of the world.  For a woman to have the same power over men, she’d have to do her hair.”  In other words, any reasonably attractive young woman exercises as much power as does the (male) ruler of the world."}
