Sick and Tired

Neil Barrett S/S '13

A lot of guys have been asking me (no one has actually asked me this), "Julian, do I have to look sharp every moment of every day? What about when it's a DGAF kind of day or I feel like death?" To this I respond, "Yes, sir, that is correct. You must look your best every moment of every day." There are two main reasons behind my very strict policy. Firstly, you never know who you are going to meet the one day that you decide not to you pull yourself together and look better than everyone else. It could end up being your next boss, your soulmate, the president, or your ex. In any situation, you need to be on top of your game. Secondly, who knows when you will have to be in a photo? Photos can capture you at your best and worst moments. You need only have best moments.

"It wuzn't me"

To make this point easier to understand for you I made an acronym:

S stay (or seem)
H handsome
E every
D day




So then how are you supposed to look good when you just don't feel good? I'll tell ya. Oversize your look. What does that mean? Let's say you are a medium- buy an XL sweater. It is really that simple. If you throw on that bulky, comfortable shirt/sweater (instead of sweats) then you don't have to worry about choosing between looking like a million bucks and looking like a washed-up fool. Just add a pair of comfy jeans/pants and your look will be complete.

Make sure that when you shop for these plus sized items that you try them on. When you aren't shopping in your size, you need to look for things that will look good on a smaller sized body.

At the top is a cool sweater from the new Neil Barrett season that would be an easy pullover to pull yourself together. Below is another nicely oversized sweater from Louis Vuitton that you may want to wear forever.

I decided to go with a large shirt and oversized cardigan to go with it.

Shirt: Joe's
Cardigan w/ hoodie: Michael Kors
