10 Things Every Man Needs ??????

[Jimmy Choo]

I think my boyfriend has everything but the navy suit on that list!! I love how they always suggest the most expensive stuff possible. Stuff like Canali is top of line. But overall, good suggestions....

Exactly, and lower-line stuff will cost less. It doesn't mean it will cost exactly that much for those clothes. You can go even more expensive in some of the categories, such as swapping a Canali or Stefano Ricci tie, or going with a nicer white oxford.

Since money isn't always there for me, when I've had the chance, I've spent more on a couple of nice suits, shirts and ties. I consider them investment pieces; I'm not going to change body shape/type anytime soon, the clothes will last, and I'll be able to present myself well in social/business situations.

Not all of the things that they listed are that expensive. Maybe it's just me, but I've never considered Izod to be particularly expensive or a brand that sticks out when it comes to men's shirts.

OK, I thought this list was going to be something like this:

1. A clue
2. Good friends that will tell you when the girl you're checking out is a nutjob
3. A clue
4. Stuff that makes you smell good (be it cologne, soap or your own particular scent
5. A clue
6. Everything by the Beatles
7. Everything by (insert classic rock artist of your choice here)
8. Everything by (insert obscure artist that you can namedrop to impress people here)
9. At least one pair of beat up jeans that you look really hot in
10. A clue

(sorry if this post is depressing Bobby...I tried)

I disagree on the navy. I think charcoal is a better bet.

Canali is great. Best to get at the men's sale at Bloomies. Then you can get 30% off- when my hubby gets his stuff. Yes, it is pricey, but you cannot match it for quality. ANd, in his profession, you need to look successful and appropriate.

Louis Vuitton- um, no. My hubby wouldn't be caught dead with.

Everything else, I can agree on.

My boyfriend has the sunglasses and the white t-shirts, but I know he would never go near the rest of the stuff on that list. I think he'd like 33girl's list better!

Yeah, I kind of thought Izod was an odd choice when paired with some of the other brands on the list. Also, if you're looking for a nice cashmere sweater, Banana isn't where I would go.
