Mullet
Otherwise known as the “business in the front, party in the back” haircut, the mullet is possibly the most ill-advised hairstyle ever conceived. Short when seen from the front or sides, but long in the back, there’s really nothing right about a mullet.Alternative: To give the impression that you know how to take care of business and party like it’s 2009, get a cut like this one that’s short overall, but use a styling product and a comb to play around and create a funkier vibe by slightly spiking the hair on your crown.

In your quest to find your signature scent, keep in mind that it is just as important to your outward style as having tailored clothes and pairing the correct tie with the appropriate shirt. However, most men simply wear a scent that was given to them as a gift or bought hastily from a cute sales girl offering tote bags and beach towels at a department store. This results in a lot of men wearing copious amounts of tobacco- and coriander-laced colognes that don’t mix well with their natural pheromones. To find your signature scent, you’ll have to do a little research, but the results usually pay off in spades when you find the right fragrance.Before you make the mistake of using the same cologne your dad used, let us help you figure out how to find your signature scent.

Just heed this advice and you’ll be ready to take on life outside the gym in the right pair of kicks with these sneaker dos and don'ts.
