Fashion advice

Like every self-respecting guy, my approach to fashion is to wear out the clothes I have and replace them, preferably with a duplicate of what I'm replacing. Easy, right?

Now I've discovered, thanks to the Fall Fashion preview in tomorrow's Life section that the monochrome look is in for men this fall, and, if I'm going to buy a new suit, it should be a four-button model.

But for this blog's readers ONLY, here's a sneak preview at the slide shows that writer Katie Reetz and photojournalist Jerry Wolford pulled together. The two-minute presentation tells you -- men and women -- just what you want to know about upcoming fashion trends. (Honestly, I don't know that I'm really going to look for vintage buttons, piping and square designs, but perhaps that will help the primary clothes buyer in my household.)

The second slide show is the backstory of how we did the fashion shoot, and it's pretty funny. It's closer to 12 minutes, so grab a cup of coffee.

The short flick was very informative for young folks (men under 32 and women under 28) who (the women) all wear a size 2 because Lord knows, those clothes just won't fit a size 4 (can you spell anorexia?).

All women over 40 who've had children or just lived on the planet a while are especially enamored over that purple clingy sweater dress - glad you included it. Real useful.

How about fashion for real people? Y'know, give it a local twist.

Will you be a model for us?

I thought you were trying to INCREASE circulation, not scare them off!

(Go talk to Jody, Fec's wife; her store, Linneas's Boutique is probably where you'll find one sort of regular people.)

Four buttons? I dunno...
