In general women are much better at picking out what to wear in advance. For guys, if it’s semi-wrinkled and doesn’t smell funny it’ll do. If you have a bit more pride about how you look, regardless if it Tuesday morning or Friday evening, the Johnston & Murphy Valet Stand is a nice piece to have in your walk-in or bedroom. The brass knob is for your tie, two levels for your pants/scarfs, accessory tray for your timepiece and cuff links, and 18″ coat hanger on top. Don’t forget to pick out your shoes too, that’s what the base is for. Retail $160
