men's corner: no more shlumpy...

guys...like us gals... sometimes have a hard time grasping the idea that 'casual' doesn't have to mean 'schlumpy'...some ideas to upgrade your casual wardrobe:

- scratch the sweathirt hoodie and go for a lightweight, windbreaker-type jacket...it doesn't have to look stuffy to have style - this jacket fits the bill perfectly...

- try something other than denim, like cords, or maybe a slim pair of white pants... If you just can't get out of denim, go for a super-dark wash or even black...

- step away from the sneakers (unless they're your 'dress' sneakers, which we've discussed before.) dark leather or suede lace-ups or loafers can work fabulously with a casual look...

- save the favorite tee for around the house and stock up on a variety of solid-color polos or even button-downs to layer under your new jacket...
