Introducing Desert Living Today contributor Tom Simon. The founder and co-owner of HUB Clothing, Tom will be giving the low-down on all things male fashion. All you $30K millionaires in Ed Hardy, listen up.

There are certain guys that just seem to have cooler style than most. “The secret is contrast and balance. The question I hear the most in the store is” What goes with this? ” Wrong approach. The answer is what makes sense with it ,what would be unexpected with this? Example: A dandy stripe blazer as shown. Try another pattern,a looser pattern works with a tighter pattern and visa versa. If you’re stuck on color think of nature. Bright blue like the ocean? Think sand or brown. Mix formal carefully with casual. Beat up jeans with a blazer. Or a worn work shoe with a dressier look. The only thing that really needs to be perfect is your grooming and manners. Also ease up on the cologne and never grow a chinstrap beard.”

After 15 years in the local clothing industry, Tom Simon saw an unmet demand for a store offering casual European and East Coast Styles. In 1991, the original HUB Clothing Boutique in Tempe, AZ was founded with an emphasis on luxury denim and “few of a kind” casual clothing. The store has since expanded to Scottsdale Fashion Square and remains the leader in cutting-edge casual clothing and luxury denim thanks to Simon’s emphasis on buying with instinct, not imitation.
