I propose that as a nation, we standardize which side of clothing stores is designated as the male section and which is the female section, to eliminate having some people *cough*me*cough* look like an idiot when they walk in and start perusing the clothes, only to find out that the section they are in is for the opposite sex! C'mon 'Murica, we need this. Let's just make the right side, men's and left women's. So when I walk in and go "wow! this is a cool style for this pair of jeans, let me find my size!" I don't have to count up to size 32 from size '0' (BTW, size 0?! really? Marketing really needs to stroke that ego?) and be hit with the reality that this is the sans-pen1s section!
Alright... I digressed again. What was I reviewing? Oh yeah, Express. Express is trendy, chic and is my go-to-place for that classic look with the modern touch. They have a great selection of styles and colors, and everything from the casual of jeans and t-shirts to slim-fit suits, ties and vests. In my opinion, if you have to wear dress shirts, the Express' MX line is second to none; the right material, colors, hem-lines and just enough stretch in the material to fit perfectly without hanging over and making you look like a slob. Andy Warhol said that fashion is a term for something so ugly that it needs to be changed every 3 months... For that reason, Express' focus on classic colors and styles with modern cuts is appreciated. Think more Justin Timberlake and less Justin Bieber; more class, less [jack] ass!
And the staff at this location tends to give good advice and service, which is always appreciated if you are curious whether that polka-dot tie goes with the plaid jacket (pro-tip - it doesn't). Oh, and if you're a dude, forget any jean with the word 'skinny' in them. Trust me. You don't look good in it, so put it back. Yes, even you. I SAID NO!
They say clothes make a man, which is why naked people rarely have much influence in our society. So whether you like to shop or not, since you have to cover your body anyway, may as well hit up Express and find something that fits, will be in style longer than a few weeks and looks good without breaking the budget. Now, remember that here, the men's section is on the right (this week, at least!) read more
