Wardrobe Basics from Menswearhouse

March 17, 2009 Jim knows that few men enjoy shopping. But did you know that:

Studies in Great Britain indicate that men and women who go shopping together can do so for about 72 minutes before they fight.

Women agree that fit is the biggest concern when it comes to men's style/wardrobe.

55% of another person's perception of you is based on how you look. On average, you only have seven to 17 seconds to make a first/lasting impression. This just doesn¹t mean how your suit looks, but how comfortable and confident you feel and act in your clothing
