How do I look good?

Medical-warehouse-drivers...Like as in DME? And no suit and tie? If something like that, I'm thinking well fitting khaki pants and sport jackets, with open collar shirts

Where I live, places like Mens Wearhouse - where they sell/rent tuxedos - they also sell men business attire, and do custom tailoring, etc. Do you have anything like that, where you live?

No matter what you wear, be sure it FITS

Where I work (insurance company) we just went to business casual within the last year. A lot of the men wear khaki slacks and button down shirts. Make sure to get them no-iron to make it easy to look crisp (and as the others said make sure they fit well): Lands End and LL Bean are good sources.

My son is a professional and he said never wear short sleeves if you want to impress. Just my 2 cents

That's what the sport coat I suggested was for...to cover up the arms...

But what the hell do I know about dressing a man?

I'm just a woman :)

Unless you live in Texas! It's too hot to wear long sleeves here in the summer.

My four tips for men looking to step up their style:

  • Do not wear short sleeved button-down shirts. Buy long sleeve collared shirts and roll up the sleeves. http://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/advice/a29402/how-to-roll-sleeves-2014/
  • Match your socks to your footwear. Sports socks with sneakers only; dress socks with other shoes; NO SOCKS with open shoes!
  • Select clothes that are fitted. Nothing worse than wide, flappy shirts with the shoulder seams hanging down your arms.
  • Wash your jeans. You may think you can get away with wearing them a few times, but trust me, the baggy arse and knees will always give it away.

Not judging men who don't follow these (my husband lives in short sleeved button-downs). As a magazine publisher I've written and edited a few pieces with these tips.
