The 9s is coined after the phrase "dressed to the nines," which was started in 18th Century England,when referencing women's gloves that went up to the elbows which they wore when they went to gala events such as balls and teas at the palace and had to dress exceptionally well. Those gloves had nine buttons, so when indicating that an event's attire was dressy, they'd say "dress to the nines." The term eventually grew to include well dressed men that were "dressed to the nines."We've adopted the phrase, freshened it up and expanded it to include anyone who is confident,fashion-conscious and strives to be exceptional in everything that they do. The number 9 is not yet the perfect ten, but is the closest to it.With The 9s Magazine as a constant companion, our reader is just that much closer to perfection as well.
