Dan Trepanier: Esquire Picks 'Best Dressed Real Man In America' (VIDEO)

On Wednesday's "Today Show," Esquire's fashion director Nick Sullivan introduced the five finalists of their annual "Best Dressed Real Man in America" contest, and announced the winner: 22-year-old Columbia student Dan Trepanier, who draws inspiration from "The Great Gatsby" and his mom. He's also has his own blog, where he shares useful tips like these:

Tip-of-the-Day: Just Say No

The saying goes "never say never", but I'm saying it here. Never buy something that is not your size just because it's on sale. You will always regret doing this because it won't fit you properly, and as we all know by now, a good fit is key to looking your best.

The one exception is shoes. You can usually give or take a half size, and maybe even a full size if you REALLY want them, just make you are not limping home.

Yours in style, Style Blogger.

This is what passes for "real men" in America's effete cities. Once again Manhattan, and Esquire, prove how irrelevant they are to real people living in "real" America.
