Long gone are the days when the heterosexual man is chided by his buddies for having an outfit that matches...GASP!
 Being ridiculed for ones ability to match colors and textures, the desire to dress well, or to hire an image consultant to further these ends is a bit like making fun of the smart kid, ...where are those herbs Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, ..oh yeah, ruling the know universe.

Looking good and feeling good often go hand in hand, and it's amazing what a tailored suit, a tie, or even a well fitting casual outfit can do for you, and how the world smiles upon it.
