How not to be the worst dressed

July 26, 2011|Christopher Muther, Globe Staff

GQ.jpg By now we all know the news: GQ declared Boston the worst dressed city in America. Instead of sitting on our pleated khakis and fretting about this declaration, we decided to be proactive (that's our corporate word of the day!) and found out how not to be the worst dressed city in America any longer. Here's a bit of advice from Louis owner Debi Greenberg:

* Ignore seasonal trends and stick to what fits you correctly and what you need. Look for durable, lighter fabrics (wool, cashmere, linen mixes are great).

*Keep your closet stocked with cotton pants suited for different occasions and don't shy away from the suit to look stylish. One beautifully tailored suit can be adapted for any occasion by switching up the shirt and tie.

*Invest in a versatile hybrid shoe that has the look of a dress shoe but the softer sole and feel of a sneaker. Do not wear gym sneakers anywhere but the gym.
