We buy our clothing and build our wardrobes on\ngut instinct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Do you like this? Yeah, I\u2019d wear that.\u2019 <\/em>We\u2019re shooting from the hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But building a wardrobe on gut instinct is like\nbuilding a house without a set of plans. The vision is unclear. The process is disorganized.\nAnd costly mistakes are made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a more effective way to build a\nwardrobe than on gut instinct, and it involves having a clear plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Todd\nShelton Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After years of experience, we designed 7 simple rules<\/a> to help our customers with their clothing decisions. We\u2019ve found having no rules creates uncertainty and disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow we dress as men can get a lot better, and\nactually be really good, but we need guidelines and a clear plan,\u201d says founder,\nTodd Shelton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the 7 rules as the focus, we designed an easy-to-wear, easy-to-shop collection to help you build and maintain a consistent wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 4 reasons we built a plan to help customers dress consistently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stability of Identity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our customer is a leader professionally, socially, and within his home. People look to him and lean on him for stability. Dressing consistently signals stability and sets a good example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if this was said about a man, \u2018Dad dressed\nthe same all our life. He had a style and a purpose for it.\u2019 There\u2019s comfort in\npredictability and consistency, even in what you wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s clarity knowing exactly what to wear each day, and for the years to come. Knowing exactly where to shop and what products to buy can simplify life and free up time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dignity of Timeless Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way for a man to dress has already\nbeen established by generations of men, it\u2019s called timeless style. We define\ntimeless style as dark-colored pants, lighter-colored shirts, solid colors, and\nnatural fabrics — the way men have dressed successfully for generations. The validity\nof timeless style is undebatable. It\u2019s more dignified and modern than any\nalternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timeless style<\/a> rejects hyper-casual clothing trends\u2014gym shorts, sloppy fits and the comfort-centric styles that have become the norm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authenticity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no humility in using clothing to\nelevate yourself above others. Or to separate yourself. The kindest first\nimpression you can make is to be welcoming and neutral, to put people at ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s comfort and stability knowing some things remain the same. There\u2019s precedent for The Todd Shelton Plan. McDonald\u2019s has had the same<\/a> products for 50 years. Levi\u2019s 501 and Converse All-Stars are timeless products each generation depends on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage men to dress consistently. Find a\nstyle, and products that support it, and commit to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
