AM Rule Refresher: Dress For The OccasionThe ability to stand out in any setting is the key to being lauded as a man with a strong sense of style. Standing out because you’re inappropriately dressed for an occasion, however, will make you seem daft. If you show up dressed to the nines when everyone else is dressed casually, for example, you’ll seem eccentric, stuck up or just ridiculous, while arriving to a fancy affair under dressed will be perceived as rude. To ensure that you dress for the occasion, we’ve culled some secrets from AskMen.com’s Style Bible to ensure you always look your best.

The First Lady's first priority is definitely not fashion. She has far way more important things on her agenda. Even so, there have been many articles lately about Michelle Obama repeating outfits and criticizing her, but I think its noble. For one, they always try to classify the Obamas as elitist and yes, she does wear expensive clothes but the fact that she repeats outfits make her less of an elitist and more relatable to the public. At a time where the economy is at shams, she is making a statement by telling citizens to stop living beyond their means and wear outfits again! During an era where facebook albums make it taboo to repeat outfits, the first lady does it with class and style and always recreates her pieces with different accessories. Try to recreate your outfits by mix and matching different blouses and tanks with skirts/pants/jeans, different shoes, bags, and other accessories.
I'm definitely a fan of Rihanna. Love her songs and her style, but lately doesn't it seem like she's doing a bit too much? The tights are just too much for me! Of course Rih Rih can pull off a lot of things, I'm sure if it was anyone else, it would've been a disaster! How do you guys feel it?
If you love the look, and think you can pull it off like Rih Rih you can purchase the tights for E855.00 (which I think is $1,138.76) lol which in my opinion is just ridiculous but they are Rodarte here. Similar shorts can be found here at shopbob for $141.00. Shopbob is currently having 25% off also until tomorrow, just use the promo code INTHEFAMILY25. They'll only be $105.75 after the discount is applied. As for her boots those can be purchased at eluxury for $575.00.
