I used to work for Joan Rivers and constantly heard about her simple formula for getting dressed. It started with a blank canvas of a black shirt, black tuxedo pants and black shoes. From there, Joan would put on a beautifully tailored jacket and pile on the jewelry. The best dressed men at the Met Ball last night basically did the same thing and knocked it out of the park.
It's a mix, a mélange and a mess. (But it's a lot of fun.) Happy Spring!
A new trailer for the expected next installment of the Kingsman story is here.
Funerals call for appropriate and respectful dress. For me, that means a dark blue suit.
It’s always good to join the mailing list of brands you like. That way, whenever they have a sale, you can get a heads-up on something you need for a nice discount.
I’ve been in the mood for a new pair of Levi’s 501s for a while, but the selvedge raw denim Shrink-to-Fits I prefer cost $128. Since I’m one of only three people left on the planet who didn’t take the blue pill that puts me in the “denim is precious” matrix, It’s really hard for me to justify three figures on a pair of pants originally designed as a cheap garment for laborers. But an email blast from Levi’s alerted me to a sweet sale. The 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit Selvedge Jeans were reduced to $79. On top of that, there was a promo code offering an additional 25% off. Essentially, I got a new pair of $128 jeans for $67.
My favorite ties in the world are silk knits and grenadines. Their dress-to-casual versatility is unmatched by any other necktie I can think of. I could easily survive with a four tie collection consisting of two of each, with one in black and one in dark navy. In fact, since I actually have that four tie collection, I could happily “tie die” now.
As I wrote in an earlier piece about grenadines, these ties were a stock item in Sean Connery’s Bond wardrobe. They’re classic, simple and irrefutably elegant no-brainers. I also wrote that the complex weave of the grenadine fabric can make them more expensive, often blowing past the $100 mark with higher end brands.
My first episode as a resident of a well-kept secret on Ohio's north coast called Cleveland.
My favorite blonde ice pick is at it again as an MI6 agent in a slick & sick action thriller from the director of John Wick.
