The Bow Tie: Yea or Nay?

October 6, 2008 01:00 PM
Let's face it -- the bow tie (outside of formalwear, of course) is as prep school, natty, upper crust-ish as it gets. See Jack Shop recently featured a Lova bow tie as a "worthy splurge," but it doesn't have to be pricey either. You see it around on certain celebrities (like Kanye West) who have a cool quotient high enough to carry off just about whatever they want, but for the everyday guy? We actually still kinda like it. That being said, we're not seeing bow ties on everymen on the street on a daily basis, so we're wondering . . . what are your thoughts on the bow tie? Is it a fashion Yea or Nay? Comment below. . .

Corduroy Blazers: Fashion Trend

October 5, 2008 09:00 PM
What: Warming up to corduroy blazers.

What we say: Fall brings out the corduroy pants from the back of our closets. But we've been seeing corduroy move on up in the world -- to blazers. As long as you don’t wear corduroy top to bottom, we're all about these blazers. They're solid transitional jackets and the corduroy material makes the blazer style more casual to wear over hoodies and cardigans.

Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace: Style Jack

October 3, 2008 01:00 PM
The ultimate gentleman’s style icon is coming back with more secret agent action this November. James Bond may just be the only man who looks great running in a suit. But this time we’re catching Daniel Craig’s character on the move in a laidback fashion – without compromising his style. Craig still keeps a refined and sophisticated aurora with the basics.

And lucky for us, this find is easy to mirror without an agent’s funds.

October 2, 2008 01:00 PM
What: Add hardware to your step with a pair of buckled boots.

Fall Scarves: Top Five

October 1, 2008 12:56 PM
Yes, there is a difference between the scarves you were rocking this summer and the following fall picks. The material is thicker than the sheer fabrics of summer, so these will actually keep you warm. Also, the colors are richer for a fall ready accessory.

How to wear it this season? David Colman of the New York Times recently wrote that scarves “…can be added to a dressed-down look like a V-neck T-shirt and jeans to give it a dressed-up....
