The Well Manicured Man

With all this talk about Ladies Night, guys, you didn’t think I forgot about YOU…did you? Of course not, so let’s get started!

One of the most important things that women notice on a man, BESIDES his shoes, are his hands. Guys, please please please, take a care with your hands. Going to get manicures are preferable, however, it is not a must. Rather, taking the time to care for your hands is. Find a lotion that not only soothes the rough spots on your hands, but locks in moisture, as well. I like Jergens cherry almond scented lotion. Aveeno Lavender and Oatmeal lotion is another great product!

Haircuts are equally important. Women notice a well-trimmed beard, clean shaven face and a well-maintained brow. You may not love the job your current barber is doing, but my girl Tina Thomas is a Master Barber; and she is THE BEST!!! She cuts hair with a precision that rivals many men in her field. She also provides facials as a service to her clients.

Every man should have a nice timepiece. It can be priced in the mid range. However, it must be classic, have the look of luxury and work well with your look. For those starting their time piece collection, I recommend a nice watch that compliments the color jewelry and clothing that your wear most often. For example, if you tend to wear colors like browns, greens creams, ivory, etc. invest in a brown watch or one with gold hardware. Those of you who lean towards dark colors like black and gray, choose a black or silver watch.

Since you will likely spend your evening going into your wallet to pay for drinks, you should invest in a nice wallet. Your wallet can be filled with a logo, such as Gucci or it can have a simple symbol like Prada.

When asking a lady for her telephone number, don’t just ask her to store yours in her cell phone, provide her with a business card. Be sure to pull that card out of a card holder that is as FLYY as the one featured below!

Also, offer her a stylish pen to write her’s down. Think Cross, Cartier or Mont Blanc!

Wearing sneakers do not have to look as though you are going to play in or watch a game. There are several pairs that provide the same level of comfort and casual styling, but work well with slacks. The Patent High-Top Converse are a perfect example.
