1. What are three essential pieces of clothing every man should have in his closet?
Steven Cox: A white T-shirt. A pair of jeans. And a black jacket.
2. What is the one fashion mistake every man makes?
Daniel Silver: I think most guys wear clothing that's too big for them. You know fit is a very personal issue for people. But a lot of guys think that if you can't raise your arm to throw a football, it's too tight. I think most guys can take a size down, and usually they size up.
SC: I think the biggest mistake is if you feel uncomfortable, you shouldn't wear it… If you feel uncomfortable in your clothing, you're not going to look good.
