Find your lane: streetwear, 70s flares, Y2K baggy or Ivy League

Green, khaki and camo cargo pants, Korean casual, 2000s baggy fits, 70s flares and faux fur, plus outfits for Nashville, Havana, boats and rainy days.

Match your belt to your shoes, then stop worrying.

Brown leather shoes take a brown belt, black takes black. Get that pairing right and the rest of a smart-casual outfit has room to be relaxed.

The person signing as Marcus

Anything I own with a print gets flipped inside out the minute it comes off, landing in my laundry basket print side in. I bring that habit, and none of a professional stylist's know-how, to every post signed Marcus K. Pemberton, my pen name. An iron pressed straight onto a screen print can smear it, so iron graphic tees from the inside. Tell me about a dead link or a misdated look at [email protected].
