This month in GQ, Matthew Goode models the 10 Best Looks for the Season. I decide to take a look and see if I can update my wardrobe and be a little more fashion savvy.
Let's begin--
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=1
The first look is plaid--a pattern I know all too well. Most of my plaids make me look like a time traveler that smells like teen spirit gone wrong, but guess what? GQ says I can be saved!
I just have to buy the shirt for $250 and the pants for $100. $350 to look like the sax player who might have his eye on the bartender. It's also important to find a cap and look like you're about to toss it in the air a la Mary Tyler Moore opening credits.

Next up we have a "cooler" baseball jacket. That's the term--"cooler." GQ says put away the big, bulky baseball jackets--you know, the ones that can actually keep you warm, thereby fulfilling their destiny as a jacket. They want you to get this little number for $1,050 and then put on the gayest jeans EVER. It's ironic that they want you to keep the white jeans "straight" when Matthew Goode, who says he's straight, looks like he's trying to pick up Johns on the West End.
The jeans only cost $70 though, which is a pretty cheap price to put on confirming your sexual identity to everybody who sees you in this outfit.
Just think of all the pesky coming out convos you won't have to have!

This look I actually like, although it's a little bland. Oh what am I saying? I'm Portuguese. We live for simple colors to reflect our impoverished souls.
To be honest though, I feel like a lot of the look relies on the hat, and I just can't pull off a hat. Put a hat on me and I look like a little kid who got into his grandfather's vaudeville chest.
Oh well, moving on--

Now, granted, I don't know much, but this can't possibly look good, right? I mean, it looks good on him, because he's skinny and European, but it would never look good on me.
For one thing, is tucking back in? Can you tuck now? Is that appropriate?
And denim on denim? I know they say this denim is multi-talented, but I thought they meant I could wear it and it could teach me how to juggle. All their suggestions for pairing it seem like they would be disastrous.
Pair it with a suit?
What black-tie function would that be appropriate for? Matthew McConaughey's birthday party?
Here, let me show you what they mean--
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=5
"Hey! Anybody want to solve a crime while looking like Casey Affleck and becoming an alcoholic?"
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=6
Hmm, I do kind of likes this. It's very Mad Men, but also a bit too Open Mic Night at the Laugh Shack.
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=7
Maybe when they said "multi-talented" they meant "multiple sexual partners of different genders." What's with that face? Did he just burp and then smell it and giggle?
Why does fashion have to be so confusing?
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=8
Ohhhhhhhhhhh--look who brought their boyfriend to the retro party!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh--they're the same person in two different shots checking themselves out.
Creepy.
Although the look is fun. I would need to get nerd chic glasses and--
Oh wait, vibrant colors--"aggressively vibrant," according to GQ (what does that mean? Does the teal slap you around if you don't make it look good?)--and as I stated before, men of my ethnicity have a hard time pulling off any color stronger than Bright Gray.
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=9
I really like the jacket, but I don't really know when I'd wear it, and if I pay that much for it, I'd have to wear it ALL THE TIME.
So I could buy the jacket and convince more people I know to get married, randomly attend conferences, and start a new Rat Pack OR I could move on to the next look.
http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201001/spring-preview-2010-matthew-goode-single-man-tom-ford-slideshow#slide=10
No, no, and no.
When you have Tarzan ankles, you do NOT roll up the cuffs.
I love how GQ instructs you as to how to roll up your cuffs so that it looks like you weren't planning to roll up your cuffs so you don't look like "a style-obsssed kid in Tokyo." As if anyone who wasn't style-obsessed would spend almost four hundred dollars on sneakers that look like they're made out of duct tape.

Ahhh! Creepy twin is back! And this time he's staring at me!
As much as I would love to wear a storm chaser jacket, I really have no need for it. I tend to go inside during storms. It's just this thing I do.
So I guess I won't be taking on all of these looks, but I did get a few ideas.
Does anybody have any duct tape?
