I think you need a Bentley GT, remember to pay extra for leather seats.

definitely dont agree with no.14 15 22, dislike loafers in general, but 1 pair of nice raw denim is all you need cargo pants are disgusting and sneakers, seriously?

Trying to go from a 4 to a 10 in the way you describe ... well, good luck ... you're gonna need it.

If you really want to move up the scale ... you're going to have to invest some effort of your own.

Why on earth is that sick? After all, it would be difficut for some to fund their wardrobe alone on that.

EDIT: Yes, Vox ... I know what that is before taxes.

It probably isn't possible to quickly go from a 4 to a 10 (and being a 10 in style might require a great face and a great body). However, it is possible to quickly go from a 4 to a 7 or 8, with the right help and self-awareness. Most stylists and image consultants anywhere don't have good portfolios for men because they don't work much (if at all) with men. (Also, most male clients don't want to be advertised as such.)

6'7" sounds very challenging (hard to be stylish at that height), and the Canadian location doesn't help. A stylist at a local high-end department store might be good, if you like many of the items sold there and some of them fit you.
