Fashion and Style Boostrap Meeting in Austin



Hi everyone,
I'm sure you all saw Keya's post about the next Style Subgroup meeting being at Cuba Libre at 6:30 on Tuesday. What we still need to say is that this meetings about creating the Austin fashion scene the way YOU want it to be and how we should approach it.
I want everyone who wants to have some input into this topic to attend. Please invite anyone you know who should be a part of this conversation. That goes for any designer, boutique owner, journalist, or anyone else who is actually part of the Austin fashion scene. We have so much talent in this town it's crazy. Let's do something with it together.
Our after-party will be at the Tribeza Fashion Week launch at by George. They are looking forward to hosting us, but unfortunately, Matt and Katy will be out of town. They will join the next round of the conversation.
Please make a point of attending. --Allen Beuershausen

Why is clothing alteration important for even guys?



You might think that only ladies need alteration! You are wrong. Guys need alteration as much. About a quarter of my customers at my tailor shop (http://TailoredbyDesign.com) are men. The other quarter don't know why they need alteration services. My goal is to give you some tip and show you some reasons here in this article.

Looking and feeling your best could give you an edge in your social and business life. To look your best, you should invest in clothing alteration. You might come across someone who always look great! Men clothing options are very limited to polo shirts, tshirts, and button down shirts. The difference comes down to the fitment. Let me give you an example. You have invested on a Prestij shirt and getting ready to go out. The shirt seems a little too long for your body. To solve this issue, you decide to tuck it in and you look like you're ready to go to a work meeting. This could change your night!

These are some images of people needing alterations:

1- Jeans are too long on this image. It should just come staight down instead of having so many boulges


2- Have you paid attention how a nice fitted suit looks like in compasion to a large suit?

and see how this one looks much better.


Stay away from long tshirt, polo shirt, and button down shirts. For example if your polo shirt is longer than 5 inches over your pants, there is a chance that it's too long. You can always ask the sales representative in stores to see if you need alterations.



Go for quality not quantity. Having a few nice shirts and pants that actually fit you right and look great on you is far better than having so many clothes that looks awful on you.

Over Plucked men don't look well put together


Over-plucked men don't look well put together. Apparently It's easy for some guys to get carried away. Overdone and over-plucked guys are like women with too much makeup. Don't over do it! Get advice from your hairstylist! If you live in Austin or Los Angeles let me know and I'll refer you to a good hair stylist.
I'm glad "the Rock" is not doing it anymore! Before and After pics are attached. (pic is borrowed from
