Little Fashion Mistake.
No.1 White socks with dress shoes
Teaming white socks with dress shoes may have enjoyed brief popularity as a quirky style statement in the mid-'90s, but there's a good reason this combo has failed to make a strong comeback. Dress shoes should only be worn with dress socks, which are wool or cotton socks in dark hues like black, blue, gray, and brown. White socks, in contrast, should be reserved solely for pairing with athletic shoes and track pants.
No.2 Buttoning blazers incorrectly
Even with a well-made suit, fastening the wrong number of buttons on your blazer can cause it to pull and stretch in awkward directions, making it seem ill-fitting, so pay attention to the advice that follows. Double-breasted jackets should nearly always be buttoned. With a two-button suit, fasten the top button and with a three-button suit, you have a choice between fastening the top two buttons or the middle one only. And no matter what kind of blazer you're wearing, always unbutton it when you sit down.
No.3 Stuffed pockets
Your pants pockets are a place to put your hands, some spare change and perhaps a slim wallet. They are not a place to keep a bulky wallet filled with cash and two-month-old receipts, your cell phone, three sets of keys, and a stash of business cards. Bulging pockets detract from an otherwise streamlined look, so if you notice any square lumps in your pants, it's a sure sign that it's time to get a bag. An all-purpose bag that translates easily from work to play is a messenger. Briefcases for business-minded guys and carryalls for active men are additional options. At the very least, rather than stretch out your pants by filling your pockets to the max, you should consider donning a blazer with interior pockets to distribute your daily necessities over a larger area and maintain a sleek appearance.
No.4 Oversized clothes
One of the greatest male fashion fallacies is that loose clothing looks better than more fitted threads. The truth, however, is that even on larger men, body-skimming
styles are more flattering. Of course, "body-skimming" is not synonymous
with "skin-tight." What we're referring to are clothes that glide
comfortably over your body and show your physique to its best advantage.
If you're not sure whether you're supersizing your clothes, try going
one size down from what you normally wear next time you go shopping and
compare the difference. You'll know your clothes are too big if you have
trouble discerning your body shape in them.No.5 Mismatched suit and shoes
Making a blunder with regard to the color of your shoes
practically defeats the purpose of suiting up, which is to look your
most presentable. Unfortunately, men too frequently select shoes
in shades that don't complement their dress clothes, like brown-hued
footwear with black trousers. Follow this advice, however, and you'll
avoid this common fashion faux pas: pair black suits with black shoes;
gray suits with black or camel shoes; brown suits with brown or camel
shoes; and navy suits with black, camel, tan or oxblood-colored
footwear.No.6 Backpacks on professionals
When you're a student and you need to schlep around 10 pounds of books each day, a backpack is precisely the bag you need. Once your college glory days are over and you enter the job market as a professional, you'll need to ditch your rucksack like you did your beer bong. To complement a work wardrobe of blazers dress shirts and the occasional suit, you need similarly polished accessories, so splurge on a leather messenger bag or briefcase and save your backpack for camping.No.7 Wearing running shoes outside the gym
Generally speaking, active wear should not be day wear. This
rule holds true especially when it comes to wearing running shoes in any
environment that's not fitness-oriented. Even if they have no obvious
scuff marks, the fact that you wear your runners at the gym during heavy
sweat sessions makes it nasty to even consider donning them on any
other occasion. For a just-as-comfortable alternative without the "ick"
factor, pick up a pair of or slip-on loafers to pair with your casual ensembles.No.8 Overt branding
There's nothing wrong with being a label-lover, but discretion is the name of the game. After all, you're aiming to look like an incredibly handsome version of yourself, not like a walking advertisement. Invest in a label because you love the fabric, quality and fit. Spending your life savings on pieces that feature prominent logos or branding only shows others that you're more concerned with status than substance.No.9 Not shaving tricky areas
While unintentionally leaving a patch of facial hair untouched is something that has happened to even the most conscientious of groomers, it's never attractive, and for men who tend to rush through their morning routines, it's an all-too-frequent occurrence. To make sure you get all those hard-to-reach spots like right beside the back of your ear lobes, install a shaving mirror in your bathroom next to the sink. Then invest in a very good razor and, above all, slow down and enjoy the art of shaving.
No.10 Socks with sandals
It's shocking how many men persist in wearing socks with sandals despite how horrendous it looks. This monstrous fashion mistake could perhaps be forgiven if there were a practical purpose for pairing socks with sandals, but there isn't any. If it's cold enough to warrant wearing socks, then your feet will feel warmer in shoes. And at the beach, getting sand in your socks is simply uncomfortable. The point here is that if you're guilty of committing this heinous fashion crime, do yourself and everyone else a favor and just stop.

Be the MAN of the DAY at any EVENT
Show up last -- and smiling
Guess who never shows up first: the president of the United States of America. Why? Because there's nothing to do if you show up first. He has a full schedule of important meetings and appearances, none of which can be accomplished sitting alone waiting for some rube member of his staff to show up. Nobody ever reversed climate change showing up on time.The first step toward taking over the room is to chill out and not be so eager to show up. Be a scientist about it. Start paying attention to when people arrive at parties. You'll want to show up three standard deviations to the right on the bell curve of arrival times. That means show up last without being late, and always smile like you just did something mischievous and there's no place you'd rather be. Now you've bought some mystique and the stage is yours to use it.
Crossing the line: Don't ever show up late to a dinner party or an important meeting. Instead of sending the message that you're an important guy with a busy schedule, it says you're an inconsiderate egomaniac.
Wear something that makes you nervous
Get comfortable doing things that make you nervous, because other people will be intrigued. Fashion is a good place to start. Let's say you have a presentation at work, explaining some marketing data on snack cakes or whatever you do. You load the presentation, stand up, remove the jacket to your Savile Row suit, and reveal a set of vintage paisley suspenders.“Uh, Stu, interesting choice of suspenders...”
“Wow, I forgot I put these on today. I got them at a vintage shop in East Berlin, before the wall came down.”
Now you're not just Stu the guy from marketing who knows a lot about prepackaged snack cake consumption among 18- to 36-year-old men; you're Stu who may have been a spy. Begin presentation.
Crossing the line: If you're dressed like a clown you'd better have a rubber nose and some magic tricks. Don't dress like a pickup artist.
Memorize names
I'm in favor of unilateral military efforts (see the next section), but you still need a network of allies after the fireworks. At a party, walk around and greet people you know with their first name and a question that shows you were listening last time you spoke.“Hey, Annie, nice to see you. How's training for the marathon going?”
“James, you son of gun, how's the chimney sweeping business?”
And try this phrase, “Gwen, I thought about you the other day while I was reading the short stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald.”
It's classic Dale Carnegie: People love the sound of their own names and they're thrilled to know you were thinking about them, especially in 2012 when rubes mostly hide behind Twitter handles and Facebook profiles.
Nut up, memorize some names and people will always want you around. Who knows? Maybe you will even become a decent person by accident.
Crossing the line: There's always one guy -- usually he has a girl's name like Shannon or Lindsey -- who makes uninterrupted eye contact and says your name in every sentence. Is that you, Kelly? Once it's clear that you know somebody's name, quit saying it. Hearing your name more than once or twice from the same person starts to take on nightmarish qualities.
Seize the conversation
This is really the important piece. Anyone can show up late wearing a bright yellow pocket square and glad-hand a few folks, but it takes charisma and guts to bust out a turtle-shell rattle and lead everyone in song.Remember that people are already on your side. Throw out an eccentric conversation starter or challenge a piece of conventional wisdom. For example, you're at a table and somebody mentions plastic surgery. Say something like, “Hey, you know I've been thinking about having my head enlarged. All successful people have really big heads. It needs to be at least 1/3 bigger.” Then you can all start talking about famous people with big heads. Or just tell a great story that shows how cool and smart you are without coming right out and saying it, like the time Alexander Hamilton quit the Washington Administration after George flipped out at him for “keeping him waiting.”
Crossing the line: Don't pull a Blake, Alec Baldwin's infamous role in Glengarry Glen Ross; that is, don't demand everyone's attention and tell them your watch cost more than their car, even if it's true.
Make everyone a round
The night's coming to a close, everyone is a little drunk and the bartender at your office holiday party is starting to clean up -- it's time to be the hero. Jump behind the bar and tell everyone that, luckily, there's time for one more round. Then line up the old-fashioned glasses and pour a round of your signature drink. I suggest you have a few of these in the arsenal for different crowds and different seasons, all of them named after you.9 Daily Habits.
Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other
people happy is the highest expression of success, but it's almost
impossible to make others happy if you're not happy yourself.
With that in mind, here are nine small changes that you can make to your daily routine that, if you're like most people, will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:
1. Start each day with expectation.
If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to (or down to) your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "something wonderful is going to happen today." Guess what? You're probably right.
2. Take time to plan and prioritize.
The most common source of stress is the perception that you've got too much work to do. Rather than obsess about it, pick one thing that, if you get it done today, will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.
3. Give a gift to everyone you meet.
I'm not talking about a formal, wrapped-up present. Your gift can be your smile, a word of thanks or encouragement, a gesture of politeness, even a friendly nod. And never pass beggars without leaving them something. Peace of mind is worth the spare change.
4. Deflect partisan conversations.
Arguments about politics and religion never have a "right" answer but they definitely get people all riled up over things they can't control. When such topics surface, bow out by saying something like: "Thinking about that stuff makes my head hurt."
5. Assume people have good intentions.
Since you can't read minds, you don't really know the "why" behind the "what" that people do. Imputing evil motives to other people's weird behaviors adds extra misery to life, while assuming good intentions leaves you open to reconciliation.
6. Eat high quality food slowly.
Sometimes we can't avoid scarfing something quick to keep us up and running. Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Focus on it; taste it; savor it.
7. Let go of your results.
The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do. Focus on the job at hand rather than some weird fantasy of what might happen.
8. Turn off "background" TV.
Many households leave their TVs on as "background noise" while they're doing other things. The entire point of broadcast TV is to make you dissatisfied with your life so that you'll buy more stuff. Why subliminally program yourself to be a mindless consumer?
9. End each day with gratitude.
Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
