Office Wear No-Nos

They might have said in the interview they have a casual office environment, but let’s be honest from a fashion perspective:

This trend is so far out of control that many companies have now banned casual Fridays and instituted dress codes for the entire week. This may not be what you wanted to read -- and if you'd read your AskMen.com Style Bible, you'd know better anyways -- but the truth is that as employers loosen up the employees often lose all sight of sartorial dignity.

Flip-flops
Unless you get a pedicure regularly, your feet probably look much better clad in leather shoes than exposed for all the world to see. Why then must we address flip-flops as an office wear no-no? Because casual Friday became casual Monday-through-Friday, some think they're living in a Corona commercial and keep showing up for work with bacteria factories strapped to their feet. Spring break may be a state of mind for you after your school days have ended, but we’ll leave that for your therapist to resolve. What you need to understand first is that men wear socks and leather shoes to work. For ultimate comfort and versatility find a pair of leather loafers in a British tan -- they're just as comfortable as flip-flops and a lot less childish and underdressed.

Text Ts
T-shirts with text across the front or back are what you wear when you pick up your last paycheck. Until that day comes, however, have some dignity and wear a shirt suitable for casual business encounters. And last night’s concert souvenir is an office wear no-no as well. If a short-sleeve shirt is appropriate, then stay away from all-out sports wear as well and find something with a bit of class such as this polo-inspired shirt from Kenneth Cole.

Cargo pants
While no one disputes that cargos are great for the weekend, they look too casual and do not inspire confidence in your superiors or clients while you're at work. You’re not working at a coffee shop between classes, pal. You’re working in an office, which means that if you’ve got stuff to carry you need a briefcase and not pockets hanging down around your ankles. Don't try and argue that they're practical -- so are backpacks and you're not bringing one of those to work, are you? (At least we hope you aren't…)

Try corduroy trousers instead of those old khaki pants or blue jeans. They look and feel nicer in cooler weather, but can be dressed up with a sport coat when you need a few extra pockets. And don't overfill your pockets either; if you really need the extra cargo space, opt for a trendy briefcase.

Hot Shops: Lisa Kline Mens

We all love Brad's style --and that he is a concerned dad-- so we're always interested in where he's picking up his cool, casual clothes. He snagged a couple shirts, including a buttondown from Edun and a henley from Ever, from Lisa Kline Men, which is a fast favorite of other well-dressed guys like Owen Wilson and Jeremy Piven. Lost star Josh Holloway was just in and picked up 575 jeans and an Ever hoodie, (while co-star Evangeline Lilly happened to be cruising Lisa Kline's womens store down the street). And if you can't get there in person to shop-- and stargaze-- check out the great selection on their website (and bookmark it for the guy in your life).

Cool Cooking Tips

The kitchen isn't every man's favorite room for obvious reasons, but here are some cool tips...

to make your foray into this cooking zone incident-free. Plus, if you bust some of these tips on your lady, she'll think you're a master chef.

Here are some random cooking facts you probably never knew that will help you run things smoothly during your kitchen escapades.

Vegetables
Onions: To peel them is an endeavor that requires patience and more time than seems fair. Soak your onions in water for an hour before you cut them and the skin will peel away with ease. Try this with garlic as well. To prevent a flood in your tear ducts from the onion fumes, stick them in the freezer for a good half hour or so before chopping them up.

Mushy vegetables: It happens to everyone, but most people just toss mushy vegetables out. Instead, take the vegetables and drain them. Purée them in a blender or food processor and season them with herbs. You can add some butter or yogurt if you wish, and whip it some more. An alternative is to dice the soft vegetables and make a soup with some broth and herbs in a saucepan.

Meat
Quantity: Sometimes you may find it tough to determine how much meat to make for a specific number of people. Keep in mind that, in general, raw meat will shed one-quarter of its total weight when cooked.Tenderizer: The best tenderizers -- at least for tough cuts -- are made with vinegar, citrus juice or other fruit juices. Toss some fresh herbs in there too.

Fruit
Citrus fruit: If you juice your own lemons, limes or any citrus fruit for that matter, warm them a bit before you squeeze and the amount of juice you extract will almost double.
