What is “the look” ? I’ll be damned if I can describe it. The closest I can come is to say that it's looking put-together, with equal portions of good health and self-confidence yet without looking vain. No, that’s not it. It’s standing out in a crowd of men by being a better example of what every man in that crowd would like to look like if he had the same raw material. That isn’t right either. Is it making the most of what you’ve got? Yup. It’s how you’ve always wanted to look and secretly felt that you could if you’d try. You can. Try.
