No matter what the movies tell you, remember to keep your undershirt just that – under your shirt. It is one thing to wear an undershirt while lounging in the comfort and casualness of your own home. You can wear just about anything (or nothing) in private, and there is a certain sexiness to a man who is comfortable in a lighter layer of clothing. But do not wear your tanks, your wife-beaters, or any other undershirt out and about as though it were an ordinary shirt. They are meant to be worn under your tees, button-down shirts, and sweaters to absorb moisture, dirt, and oils, not to be worn as a shirt by itself. It is impolite to air your dirty laundry, and this is no exception. You would not wear your boxers or briefs in public, so there is no reason to wear any other kind of underwear in public either.

With an X and Y chromosome, the chances are that a receding hairline is in the cards. For some men, it starts as early as high school or college. So you can either pretend it is not happening, or you can accept the inevitable and work with what you have. Several celebrities like Patrick Stewart and Bruce Willis took the opportunity for a smooth shaven look that is clean, sophisticated, and authoritative. Rather than fussing with a comb-over or a rug (hint: everyone can tell), own the shape of your skull and either buzz cut or shave it all off. It is good for those warm summers, although be sure to use sunscreen for a week or so after your first head shave. And definitely remember your head when you are looking at a day at the beach or the water park. A bright red bald head is no one’s idea of sexy.
