Rules of Style by Nick Wooster

The Southernmost Gentleman is no stranger to detailing influential men of style and sartorial innovation– One of those men being the prodigious man of paramount importance and style; icon and fashion maverick Nick Wooster.

Details.com introduces a “Rules of Style” list that Wooster delineates on, in which includes his secret to tie efforts, playing with color when one is a beginner to men’s style, explaining the “sartorial mullet,” and basically everything else in-between.

We conclude to you his top five rules on his list:

1. If you can’t afford a Rolex buy something equally as interesting at the other end of the spectrum like a Luminox—those are really cool. Don’t buy a watch trying to emulate a Rolex.

2. I subscribe to the notion of the sartorial mullet—stay tailored up top and less buttoned up on the bottom. I love funny pants.

3. If you’re going to play with color start with one. If you’re wearing yellow, everything else should be navy and grey. Yes, I’ve been known to wear bright green and pink at the same time but I don’t do that often—the bulk of my closet is grey, navy, white, khaki, olive, and a little black.

4. If you’re putting in the effort to wear a tie, finish it off with a smart and simple tie bar. Not a decorative, big, or funny one. Just something functional.

5. A quarter-and-an-inch chocolate brown belt with a sterling buckle goes with everything from jeans to chinos to a proper suit. It may cost you $1,000, but it’s a good investment.
