Spotted, in this piece from Esquire, The 16 Wisest Things Men Have Ever Said About Style:
"If you're not sure whether it looks good on you, it doesn't."
– Scott Omelianuk, Author of Things A Man Should Know About Style
Great advice, I think, not just for fashion but for all manner of situations and endeavours.
Not that being sure, matters all of the time of course. We can't always, maybe hardly ever, be sure about things.
But for the times when we need to be sure, whether it is the choice of clothes, careers, or maybe even sorting out whom you can trust and whom perhaps you should not, well, I think that the advice from Mr. Omelianuk is pretty solid.
Now the trickier part I reckon is knowing when you need to be sure and when you only need to feel reasonably confident you're doing the right thing.
But for now at least that hat/shirt/coat/monocle/walking stick/handlebar moustache/eyepatch/neck tattoo/sketchy person you are thinking about sharing an important business item with that you are considering?
Stop considering them.
Happy Thursday.
