Its The Look
A survey of 1,000 women reveled what kind of look they want their man to have. Posed with the question - What do you find attractive in a prospective partner?- women have made it abundantly clear they no longer endure the scruffy tops and jeans or a man with a slumped posture.
In these tough economic times, your reputation and the look you project are of high importance. The citation of classic gentlemen figures like Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy or James Bond star Daniel Craig, men who are well-proportioned and well-dressed and who always carry themselves well, were recognized as the look they are drawn to.
Alan Cannon-Jones, senior lecturer in tailoring at the London College of Fashion and an expert on menswear, said the current economic crisis meant women were more likely to be attracted to men wearing smart, tailored garments.
He said: "Because of the financial situation, many guys are smartening up their look. Even if they do not have much money, they are keen to project the perception that they do."
Sales of cufflinks and ties are on the rise, making a smarter look within your reach.
Before you resort to Match.com or eHarmony, give your look the adjustment it needs to project who you are and you might find once the distressed jeans were replaced with a crisper look, the pair of links on your cuff might not be the only couple in your future!

GQ's 10 Most Stylish Men in America
GQ searched the world to find a collection of guys that would be a crime not to take cues from.
"Real men with real style."
Justin Timberlake
The man who helped bring fedoras—and sweater vests, and beards, and three-piece suits, and skinny ties—back.
Mark Ronson
Ronson wears the of-the-moment uniform—slim suit, skinny tie—in such a way that doesn’t make you want to punch him. How? He respects details like the taper of the pants and the length of the tie—and he backs the Mr. Success look up with actual success.
Alexi Lubomirski
Lubomirski is a photographer you could easily mistake for a model—one cast in a fashion spread called “How to Achieve Timeless Elegance in a Blue Shirt and Jeans.” Born in England and raised in France and Botswana, he’s worldly enough to pull off undoing that third shirt button.
André Balazs
If you’ve ever set foot on an André Balazs property—the legendary Chateau Marmont, say—you know his philosophy: Style isn’t about exclusivity or trends; it’s about honesty, authenticity, and above all else, comfort.
Kanye West
Stylistically, Kanye no longer seems like a sugar-deprived kid in a candy store. Yes, he’s still flashy and attitudinal. But whereas he used to look like he was flaunting all those luxury labels, now he looks like he’s expressing himself through them.
Sid Mashburn (and staff)
Sid Mashburn is a throwback to a time when looking sharp was about a lot more than labels. His philosophy—the one reflected in his Atlanta store—is that good style is about knowing how to tie a tie, dress right for an occasion, and be comfortable in your own skin.
T.I.
Glenn O’Brien
Find us an icon of New York’s punk/new-wave scene who looks as bold today as he did in 1978. Fact is, most are dead, washed-up, or worse—banking. The secret to Glenn O’Brien’s style longevity: He hasn’t strayed from his roots.
The Atlanta-based rapper rejects hip-hop’s merry-go-round of trends in favor of tailored blazers, jeans of distinctly hip-hopian proportions, and one trademark: a hat cocked at an extreme angle. Only problem now? He’s due for prison time. But look for him to pick up where he left off—fashionwise, anyway—the day he gets out.
Jason Schwartzman
Even when he was an awkward kid playing an even more awkward kid in Rushmore, you could tell Jason Schwartzman had style. Behold, a decade or so later he’s an ace at looking cool in a suit.
Ed Ruscha (and son, Eddie)
At the age of 71, Ruscha brings to his style the same attitude and humor that imbues his artwork. Exception: He may have created those iconic “word paintings,” but he says he “never liked T-shirts with sayings on ’em.”

Rules of Style and Fashion
Tom Ford's fame came from his turnaround of the Gucci fashion house. Now the creator of the Tom Ford label has some tips for the trendy as seen in the December issue of DETAILS Magazine.
1. I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.
2. Someone who is secure enough to be very present when relating to another person is sexy. In other words, a good listener always lands who he wants.
3. When mixing patterns, don’t think about it too much—just throw it together.
4. I hate the trend of short suit jackets. When a man’s butt is showing below the bottom of his jacket, I think it makes him look like a female flight attendant from the back—not my idea of sexy.
5. With jewelry, I actually like bracelets more than anything else, but they have to be small and simple. Cary Grant always wore a simple gold bracelet with his watch, and I think that was very chic.
6. If you’re careful not to overuse Botox, then yes, why shouldn’t you use it? A little bit of it between the brows can make you look less stern and more approachable. Who needs to frown, anyway?
7. Just like girls need to learn to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suit—and sometimes even in a tuxedo—and so I’m really comfortable in one.
8. When it comes to grooming, keep earwax out of the ears and keep stray hairs and flakes of skin in check and you should be good to go. In the morning, I put ice cubes on my eyes and use lots of Visine.
9. Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.
