Interesting fashion and style tips - I love 'em! Share them with me!

I heard a couple of great tips for dressing better and being more presentable. The first was that tucking your shirt into your underwear, while looking a bit odd when panstless, keeps the line of your shirt better than just tucking it into your pants. It works!

The other was when seated and wearing a suit coat, to sit on the bottom of it which keeps you from slouching forwards. Fascinating!

So, I'm keen to know more of these interesting sorts of tips, be it for personal grooming, clothing or accessorising.

Uhhh...you do realize what happens when you need to reach for something in a high place or tie your shoe, right?

My grandpappy always used to say: when pantsless, do not tuck your shirt into your underwear.

a coin in the end of your tie will stop it from blowing about in the breeze, and get you out of a pickle when you're short of change for a vending machine or parking meter.

If it’s one thing that will get noticed, it’s your shoes, especially how clean they are. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show you’re a man of taste by getting a nice pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition. It’s the fastest way to showing others that you take care of yourself.

JFK killed men's hats. But now that they're so uncommon, a really superlative hat is a sure way to show your individuality. Consider a Greek fisherman's cap, an Irish tweed, a fez or a fedora.

Save a fortune on laundry bills: give your dirty shirts to Oxfam - they will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for fifty pence.

If you're careful with the ratio of underpants elastic : belt tightness it should pull free of your underpants before they rise above the belt line. It's a ballet of physics.
