这次回国先后要感谢小V陪我们在香港闲逛三天，送我去深圳；夏夏请我喝豆浆陪我逛江滩；小林香菜陪我们逛北大鸟巢目的地；豆腐请我们吃海底捞；还有辉辉送我们去机场。

Even the best suits need altering. Pants need to be shortened, jackets need to be brought in, sleeves need to be narrowed (yes, you can ask your tailor to slim down your sleeves), and buttons need to be realigned with buttonholes (most guys’ shoulders aren’t entirely even, meaning your jacket often sits a bit askew). You should always buy your correct size, but you then need to have a tailor customize it to your body. It’s the difference between being appropriately dressed and being stylishly dressed.

2. Thou shalt wear sneakers made for a man

It’s fine to own crosstrainers and running shoes and hightops. But save them for the gym. When you’re on the street, keep your sneakers simple and classic. Go for ones like Stan Smiths, Jack Purcells, and Sambas. They work with everything, including suits.

3. Thou shalt invest in the right timepiece

Buy a high-quality stainless-steel watch. It looks as right with jeans as it does with your best blazer.

4. Thou shalt match your socks with your suit

When choosing socks, the basic rule is to consider the suit instead of the shoe—in other words, if you’re wearing a navy suit with black shoes, reach for navy socks. And when wearing a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shade or so lighter than the shoes.

5. Thou shalt not wear a tie that is too slim

Unless you’re a hard-core fashion guy who favors a superskinny tie, stick with one that measures about three inches at its widest point. It will be narrower than traditional ties, but not by too much. Tie one on and you’ll look modern and sophisticated.

6. Thou shalt put your wallet on a diet

Your wallet should not be as fat as a burrito. In fact, you should get rid of your wallet and, while you’re at it, trash all the receipts, video cards, and other unnecessary crap that’s stuffed in it. Buy an elegant, slim leather credit card holder and stock it with your essential cards. Then, fold your cash in a money clip. All that other nonsense can go in your desk drawer. You don’t need it.

7. Thou shalt wear the right tie with the right tux

Two points to remember: (1) A bow tie goes best with a peak-lapel tuxedo, while a straight tie works better with a notch lapel. (2) Regardless of what kind of tie you’re wearing, make sure the fabric matches the lapel. If your lapel is grosgrain, your tie should be grosgrain. If your lapel is satin, your tie should be satin. And one more thing: Your tie (no matter its shape) should be black. Colored ties are for the prom.

8. Thou shalt wear brown shoes—with nearly everything

Black dress shoes are easy—they’re understated and tasteful. Brown dress shoes up the style factor. People notice them. They go best with gray, khaki, or navy. Dark brown shoes are easier to pull off than light brown ones.

9. Thou shalt learn when to cuff ‘em

If you’re wearing a trim, modern suit with flat-front pants—the kind often shown in this magazine—you should not cuff your pants. However, if you’re a guy who likes a classic suit with a single pleat, go for a cuff—but not more than one and a half inches deep.

10. Remember thy undershirt

This one’s tricky. If you’re wearing a conventional white broadcloth dress shirt (which means it’s fairly see-through), you have two options: Skip the undershirt and you’ll look clean and stylish. Or, if you’re a hairy guy who perspires a lot and you feel safer in an undershirt, wear a crewneck. The lines of a V-neck or tank top will be visible beneath your shirt and tie and you’ll look cheesy. If you prefer a V-neck or tank top, you might consider other dress shirts. Go for ones with checks or stripes, which make an undershirt less visible. Or opt for hardier fabrics, like an oxford cloth, which make undershirts all but invisible.

^^ 昨天晚上看完Idol后熬到快三点，终于搞定了香港的酒店，期间决定了弃飞机坐火车的战略，（咳咳，不是坐火车从美国到中国，是坐火车从香港到罗湖，再坐火车从深圳到武汉，再坐火车从武汉到北京。）期间图文并茂的再教育Ted硬座软座硬卧软卧有神马区别，T跟Z都是什么东东，他就是大智若愚的那种人，对这些完善人格应具备的基本生活常识非常不屑。这样子硬生生多挤出来两个白天的时间，还省了两天的酒店钱。（酒店钱可是该我出滴！）

^^ 北京的其实好选很多，小林大大很好心offer住的地方，但是Ted同学别的都好，就是比较没有我随便，而且闺女大了认生，所以只好花钱住外面（心流血啊。一百遍啊一百遍。）然后就在小林大大家旁边找找，结果就找到了一个很潮的地方，很潮啊，一喜欢也没问问谁就定鸟。

^^ 这样衣食住行就搞定一个了，食嘛，就听大家跟导游们的推荐好了，行呢还有点小问题请问知情人，请问罗湖入关后去火车站有多远怎么走方便，假如有时间火车站周围有什么好吃好玩的没有，还有就是因为不知道Ted要两天还是三天才拿到签证，所以不能提前买票，如果当天中午以后去深圳火车站买票，象软卧下铺能买到么？或者香港有卖国内火车票的地方么？

^^ 多谢先。

^^ 还有十天，持续兴奋ing。^^

PS 不好意思，刚刚看到说有从九龙直接到武昌的火车，那样就不用去深圳了。

再PS 6个9马上要到了，看到的举个手啊。或者1百万的。

再再PS 看到说九龙上车的人到北京前都不能下车，晕死，还是得去深圳看来。
