Zip it up, Gents.

Every now and then a well dressed man-about-town will catch my eye, and their look is pretty simple. A nice fitted sweatshirt, a designer jean, and a city sneaker. That's it. But for some reason this look just seems so pulled together and perfect. For almost any occasion. Whether watching a game with friends after work, taking our girl on a date, or treking it throught the city. There are however, a few key elements that make this look so complete. A understated graphic, and a nice snug fit. Here are the do's and don'ts of today's chic yet casual and comfortable look.

Do find something that fits. In YOUR size. Not too big or you look sloppy, not to small or you look desperate for a new hoodie, and got frustrated shopping and bought the first thing that would suffice as something to keep you warm.
Don't sport your oversized college hoodie (unless you are IN college) or favorite team logo. It gives of the impression of: I'm going through a divorce, or I have completely given up on looking attractive to others. Ouch, but it's the truth.
Do stay away from candy colored prints and triple XXL bad-ass-rapper hoodies. Only a bad-ass-rapper can pull them off.
Don't try to impress with a loud graphic. The most chic styles are those that look vintage, or are actually vintage.
