Dallas, TX, October 18, 2010 – “Eighty-five percent of all men on the street today are wearing clothes that just don’t fit,” says Baumann. “It’s a crisis. All men want to look their best, but most don’t know where to begin.” Baumann spends at least half his time educating men on style and fit because they are embarrassed to ask. “The guys I dress are successful because they are accomplished,” he says. “So they don’t like any situation that makes them feel inferior. The problem is – men have nowhere to go for the facts in fashion.”
This is where Edward Baumann comes in. Baumann’s list of top ten mistakes that men make when buying clothes includes a poor fit that sits at problem number one. He believes the issue begins in retail settings where clothes are sold based on available stock rather than the individual customer. In Baumann’s opinion, instead of “creating the clothes to fit the man, they sell the suit that’s in stock!”
Among his other top pet peeves are shoddy shoes, mismatched socks, and button-down shirts. “How can a smart, successful guy ever think it’s OK to wear a button-down with a suit?” he asks. “It’s like peanut butter on filet mignon!” Also on Baumann’s Top Ten list is the cell phone in a holder snapped to the belt, which in Baumann’s world is considered a Cardinal Sin. Why? “Because it ruins the fit of a properly-tailored jacket and any modern suit coat will have an interior pocket for a phone,” he says, adding, “Or it’s not well-made.”
Baumann also points the finger at men who button the bottom button of a suit coat, mismatch shoes and belts, or who fumble casual Friday. “If you’re wearing the Def Leppard T-shirt to a company picnic, I can guarantee you won’t be invited back,” says Baumann. “Every set of clothes makes a statement.”
A well-dressed man is one that knows his image and style is an important part of his success and one that everyone in the room notices and admires. When a wardrobe bestows confidence and power, dressing becomes pure pleasure. Another bonus is that it’s said a confident man with an immaculate, well-groomed and fashionable style is a huge aphrodisiac for women!
