As our first "5 Minutes with TMFB", I'm very happy to share a great site with you all. In order to bring consumer closer to retailer, Matt Fox, shopkeeper of
FineAndDandyShop.com, answers five questions for us.
Matt Fox: I've always been somewhat of a dandy myself. I was the kid in high school who always wore a tie. In most of my adult life, I fantasized about opening up a men's clothing store. About a year and a half ago I had the idea to open up shop online.
TMFB: As far as wardrobe goes, what does every man need?
MF: Every guy needs three great-fitting suits in black, brown, and navy. Mix them up with some great accessories and you'll have an enviable wardrobe.
TMFB: Who's your Style Icon?
MF: My grandfather. He was very stylish, really. Quite the dandy, without even knowing it. He never left the house without looking impeccable.
TMFB: Give us your Fashion Horror Story/Nightmare...
MF: Years ago, I bought a new tuxedo just in time to attend the Tony Awards. I picked it up from my tailor the day before and made the mistake of not trying it on. The night of the Tonys, I got dressed and the pants were way too short, noticeably so. This was pre-Thom Browne short pants days so I couldn't even say it was intentional.
TMFB: Have you got any style tips for our readers? Possibly something to make our lives just a tad more Fine and Dandy...
MF: My advice to guys is always to be the best-dressed man in the room. It's always better to be 10% overdressed than 10% underdressed. Maybe some of your buddies will give you a hard time about being overdressed but people will take you more seriously.
