So here’s the dilemma, boys.

You secretly wouldn’t mind a visit from the Queer Eye guys. (Deep down you know it’s unacceptable to wear the same baseball shirt four days in a week.)

But you’d rather die than ask.

There’s another way. Head over to Apartment Number 9, L.A.’s first all-men’s boutique. Owners and sisters Amy and Sarah Blessing carry everything from Andrew Dibben and Trovata tees to sophisticated (and hard-to-find) lines like Seize sur Vingt and Steven Alan. Other men’s must-haves include Michael Kors and Nicole Farhi, in the mix with handcrafted cuff links made from old typewriter keys. The simple wooden interior and functional layout make it easy to find what you’re looking for, whether it’s a new shirt or a new look. And still feel suitably … masculine.

No nationally televised back waxing or airbrush tanning necessary.

Apartment Number 9, 225 26th Street, at San Vicente Boulevard (310-394-9440).
