Today on the INDi blog, men’s style blogger Izzy Tuason of The Dandy Project stopped by to answer some basic guy style questions. Gentlemen, read on to learn about everything from wardrobe staples to finding great fitting jeans!
1. How would you describe your style and where do you find inspiration? I appreciate good tailoring, and will always be more dressed-up than the average guy at the office. I gravitate towards darkness, believe in quality over quantity, and never take fashion too seriously. Art and pop culture, emerging talent, and stylish people inspire me.
2. What are 3 things men should look for when shopping for jeans and pants in general? fit - The most flattering bottoms are those that generally skim the body, and hug it in all the right places.
fabric - Comfortable, with a little bit of give, and durable enough for it to look better with time.
color - Different colored jeans complement different looks and lifestyles. But a great pair in black is all I really need.
3. If you can narrow it down, what are the basics every guy should have in his wardrobe? I can’t, but I can tell you a few of my go-to items:
- great-fitting t-shirt in black and white
- black jeans
- black suit
- lightweight cashmere v-neck sweater
- a raw-edged black cashmere scarf
- the perfect white button-down
- a black jacket for each season: winter, spring, summer, and fall
- black lace-ups
- white sneakers
- a beautiful watch
4. Custom jeans can be an investment, any tips on how to wear denim in multiple situations? Wear your jeans everywhere and refrain from washing them; in time they will look and feel like second skin. Dress them up with good shoes and a proper jacket, and if they’re dark, weathered, and well-fitting, they will never look out of place.
5. Now just for fun - which is worse: being over or underdressed, and why? My mother always told me it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

White sneakers are the perfect fun and functional shoe to pair with our new colored jeans. Except we all know how hard they are to keep clean! After our white sneakers got a little beat up, we decided to experiment and see how difficult it was to clean them. Our findings? It couldn’t be easier to get your white sneakers back to being white! All you need is a gentle detergent, we used Woolite, and a sponge; it is that simple. Follow along with our step-by-step guide below and have your sneakers back in your closet rotation in no time!
