Do you ever get that day when you can’t decide which color scheme you want to wear? Or wanting all the colors for that matter. Let’s hope you only want to 3 colors. Oh gosh. When that day comes, follow Alexander Skarsgard’s lead. He wore a bright green shirt, which is surprisingly toned-down version of a bright green color. The denim jeans of course, and canvas sneakers (assuming Converse), with 2 different colored laces. One is blue, the other one is red. How creative, how fabulous!

No, I’m not being sarcastic. I really think it looks cool .

Contrary to the old adage, Weddings are not just all about the Brides, respectively. Sorry ladies. Isn’t it interesting that Women (I swear I love you too) are always demanding equality in chores, finances, parenting or whatever responsibilities surrounds a relationship? But when it comes to finally walking down the aisle and making the commitment, Some Women go gaga over the “ceremony” instead of the union per se that they forget the reason why they’re planning a wedding in the first place.

Thanks to Grooms Online for making sure that Men are involved in all the preparations and planning. Just because a guy didn’t make a scrapbook of how he wanted his weeding to be when he was 10 years old doesn’t mean his opinions don’t matter in his own wedding.

Oh and guys, you’d love this part. Grooms Online has a wedding budget calculator. Keep track of how much you’re spending .

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do It.

The rest of the the 9 Words That Women Use after the fold…

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you. Do not question, or faint; just say you’re welcome. I want to add in a clause here: This is true unless she says “Thanks a lot” – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “you’re welcome” in this case, for that will bring on a “whatever”).

(8) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying screw YOU!

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response refer to # 3.

She Knows Best is proud to present to you Fashion Tips for Shorter Men, specifically Men 5′8 and Under. Thanks to Alan Au, Client Relations Director from of Jimmy Au’s for Men 5’8” and Under, we will learn excellent and practical tips on styling to focus more on style instead of the height.

Fashion Tips for Shorter Men after the fold… (this is a long one so grab a beer or wine, whichever you prefer)

Show your stripes… While some fashion designers are abandoning these vertical enhancements, if you want to look taller at work, you need to consider stripes. Choose stripes of a thinner variety like beaded or pinstripes. Choose stripes where the width between stripes best balances your frame. ¼” to ¾” should be sufficient. The wider you  frame, the wider the stripe option. Any wider than ¾” and you’ll begin to look squat. Stay away from thick or wide stripes like chalk stripes or alternating colored stripes. The lighter color will dominate causing the width to visually double and make you look squat.

When trying on your suit, take a good look close to the mirror to see if it flatters you, but don’t forget to stand about 5 to 10 feet away from the mirror to get a visual sense of what others will see in a more typical day to day situation. Remember, 5 to 10 feet in the mirror is really 10 to 20 feet away. Make sure you can see you in the suit and not just the suit. If only the suit looks good and not you in it, then pass.

The skinny on ties… Fashion designers are split in their fashion direction as far as tie widths go. Some are going much wider while others are going narrower. Go narrow. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s more proportioned for a shorter frame. Ties that are 2 ½” to 3 ¼” at its widest point should be enough. Anything that will add width to your midsection will make you look short, so stay away from the wide bib-looking ties. Narrower ties look more balanced and in effect, will make you look more proportioned; which in turn makes you look taller. Note that narrower is good enough. Unless you’re in the entertainment business, the 80’s skinny ties are probably more appropriate for social evenings or date nights, not the work week.

Wear a shirt, not a chute. The baggy shirt of the 90’s is an unwanted fashion statement when you are under 5’8” in 2008. Regular sized shirts tend to look baggier on a shorter frame. Choose more European inspired fits that are trimmer with higher armholes and slimmer bodies. The fullness makes you look like you’re wearing your older brother’s hand-me-downs. These trimmer cuts can easily be shortened to fit your body and arms. Fuller cuts require more work from a more skilled tailor.

Here comes the Hammer… Pants that is! Some designers are showing pleated, full cut dress pants again. Avoid at all costs. Stick to more traditional cuts, preferably in a flat front and in a short rise. I’m not saying you can’t wear pleated pants. Just not the ones that make you look like a b-movie sidekick that involves a genie. If you prefer a pleated pant because you have thick thighs or wide hips, stick to shallower pleats. You can have the extra width you need without having the extra depth you don’t. Proportion is key. Making sure you purchase a pant in a short rise greatly increases your chances of a proper fit.

The number one rule, no matter what the current fashion trend is… Have your clothes altered by a good tailor. This rule applies to men of all heights, but is definitely most important to us shorter guys. Because of our shorter stature, most everything is big on us, which makes us look even shorter. Make sure coat and shirt sleeves are the right length. Make sure coat bottoms are the right length. Make sure coat and shirt waists are the right width. Make sure pant hems aren’t too long and pant legs not too wide, nor the rise too long. Lastly, make sure your tie is not too wide.

2. Style is a question of charm, not nationality. It’s not true that French men have more allure or style than American men. It’s just that they dress with more personality. They don’t follow dress codes, and sometimes they mix things in a way they shouldn’t. Like how Serge Gainsbourg dressed, with his reptile shoes with jeans and blazer and white shirt—that’s charm.

4. In relationships, you must show proof of love and do something passionate. I once had a boyfriend fly from New York to Paris just to have dinner with me. It was very smart. (*With airfare costs these days, you might want find other alternatives )

6. You should have one watch for the weekend, one for the week, one for suits, one for sport. I love watches. Watches are for men what perfume is for women. They are very personal, and you can wear them according to your mood. (*Ehhhh, I’d suggest sunglasses instead, heh. )

8. Men make a mistake when they follow fashion instead of their own personality or their own body. When they dress in a very slim shape even if they don’t have the right body, it’s all wrong. It’s awful. With my husband, I tell him, ‘Stay yourself and I’ll take care of you.’ He’s the most spoiled man in Paris. (*Amen, Amen, Amen. I’m happy to say my husband knows his stuff with my help of course . )
