Introduction part 5 - Presentation/Choice : Grooming, Attire & Accessories


These categories will be examined individually in time. If "presentation" is a foundation of manliness, then Grooming, Attire, and Accessories are the ground floor. Of all the rules of being a man, these could be the most important, and the most commonly overlooked. "Guys" are notorious for bad or incomplete grooming. "Dudes" usually have no sense of style, or have one that is obsolete by fifteen years. "Boys" were clothed by their mothers until they were 16 and from then on were left floundering in an ill-fitted t-shirt and jeans for the rest of their lives. Worse still are the "Blokes" who think they have a style that expresses themselves. Their wallet on a chain, or vintage chucks aren't as distinct or ironic as they think and they end up looking like someone trying too hard.

There are so many ways that grooming and clothing yourself can go wrong. The good news is that doing it right is very simple. There are a few rules to follow, but there's a lot of flexibility to allow you to create a unique look and feel that are your own. Be a man: know the rules and then make your own.
