PROPER ADVICE |Personal Style|
One’s style – be it hair, clothing or personality – is developed and is therefore a choice.
We at CMMP help identify, shape and improve our clients’ clothing “style.” The foundations are fit, utility and color.
And we are experts on these.
Whatever your style, if you own it and it’s authentic, you will be respected.
The new year is approaching, who do you want to be in 2016?

Laws of the Game, Vol. 7 – “It’s your shoes, stupid”, written by Craig Arthur von Schroeder
Clinton. Bill Clinton. President, Ladies Man, International hostage negotiator, and perhaps the first “First Gentleman.”
He famously relied upon strategist James Carville’s phrase – it’s “the economy, stupid” – as his rallying cry when he crushed G.W. in the wake of early 1990s recession.
So simple, so effective, so right.
Gents, in the same vein, it’s your shoes, stupid.
It’s this column’s charge to provide sartorial advice in a way that translates to real world success.
I’m not saying anything new, of course, as in man’s attempt to woo the fairer sex (or the same sex for that matter), nothing is more commonly known than “women [people] judge men on their shoes.” I do. I’m sure you do too. Everyone does.
Taking this as fact, as an inalienable truth, however, I propose an easy and quite economical way to make weight.
That is, you only need three categories of shoes, in good quality and style, to thrive in the shoe department:
1 – THE LOAFER
I once attended an event where Ted Turner was the keynote speaker. The only two things that stuck with me were: 1) he’s the largest owner of buffalo in the world; 2) he didn’t believe in laces and only wore loafers, due to the fact that he saved time by not having to tie up laces. Practicality aside, loafers are part of a man’s shoe foundation.
I propose two loafers, one black and one brown. A good black loafer can be used with a tuxedo when occassion calls for it and with dark jeans at night for dates, going out, etc. Brown loafers come in varying colors, I suggest a darker pair that can be patinaed over time to have character. They are good for both business and casual wear. Best in the summer.
Forego tassels and the horsebit hardware, they are a bit pompous. Less is more.

Yes, almost English, but in it’s discretion.
Indeed, wear it to save the world.

This is also 11 oz. and feels like a shell and less like a heavy overcoat.
