Style and Masculine Elegance

Book excerpt: Sure, it might all seem so shallow. What does it really matter how you dress -- it's what's on the inside that's really important, right? I can't argue with that. But if you don't dress in a way that shows what you've got on the inside, in a way that catches eyes and starts conversations, how are you ever going to get people to notice you and find out who you are? Dressing well is about sharing your pride in yourself with the world. And it's not just about other people's reactions; when you take a little time for yourself, and when you feel confident about how you look, you'll find that confidence helping you out when you need it.
