    Should I wear jeans given my body type?

    I'm what you call a stocky guy. Yet, I'm tall and quite fit. On top of that I have no back side. The gluteus maximus is there but it's small and muscular with virtually no fat. As a reference I tried the Levi's 511s only to find that it won't even get past my calves. The 513's somewhat...

    Proper heel height

    whenever I buy new shoes the heels do not sit completely flat on the ground. There is usually about 1/8th or 3/16th inch of "air" in the back of the heel because the front part of the shoes are just a tiny bit lower. I do understand however that when my feet are in the shoes and I am standing on...

    Red Polo Shirt OK for a guy?

    I'm about to purchase a red polo shirt with just a hint of gray mixed in. Not the best color but I thought all my polo shirts are navy, black, and white. So I thought this might be a good diversification of color. Question: Will it go with light indigo colored jeans or should go for the dark...
