    Comment by 'man of the cloth' in article 'How to Survive the Holidays with Your In-Laws, or Whatever you call the Unmarried Version of In-Laws'

    Very sorry to say this, but the 'guide' articles in this newsletter are lame, and not helpful. Is this what Styleforum is about, then — all style and no substance?

    Paul Smith Upside Down Jacket

    ... I'm wondering how long a tie would have to be to go around the waist, with the knot at the bottom of the jacket and the point pinned to the shirt collar.

    Paul Smith Upside Down Jacket

    The purpose of this jacket is to break the rules and maybe have fun in the meantime. If that's what you want in a jacket, I'd say go for it. I appreciate variety and humor in style, not merely following someone else's standards. But if your intent is to look good, consider that the rules of...

    Best carry-on travel backpack/softsided suitcase?

    I've used the Osprey Porter 46 as my only bag, and have been able to carry it on to all North American flights so far. If I'm planning on taking any formal wear, that means that I'll be wearing the jacket while traveling, since I wouldn't want to cram it into the bag with the other items. If you...

    Successful accounts of curing depression without medication...

    It's natural for people to tell you what has worked for them; but let's remember that doesn't mean it's the final answer, or even your answer. A doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that each person's condition is like a lock, which requires a particular shape of treatment to open. For...

    (Old) The WAYWT Discussion Thread

    Thanks everyone for your comments. If you can be more specific, I can learn more. What exactly is it that you don't like about the sunglasses, for instance, Sartre864? Is it the square toe that some of you find questionable on the boots? I like the bit of contrast they provide. Some of the...

    Burning Incense

    Indian incenses tend to be very sweet and thickly perfumed since they are typically soaked in perfumes and refined oils; Japanese sticks tend to be made from actual particles of resins and woods, and are generally more complex recipes. For a far more refined scent, try some classic Japanese...

    What Words Do You HATE?

    "...than what" in place of "than". Example (in the style of Troy Aikman's football commentary on tv): "He threw the ball harder than what he needed to." "This team is given less credit than what they deserve."

    Do young women prefer casual looks over dress looks?

    A couple of suggestions: First, see that your clothes fit well and are in good repair. Get those waistbands adjusted to fit, and have superfluous material on your shirts taken in. Trim loose threads and repair or toss damaged clothes (unless that's an intended part of your look). Second, begin...

    Jacket for Travelling

    Love the look of the fatigue jacket, but if you're travelling a lot remember that clothing styles that look military can bring trouble in certain sectors. Also keep in mind that leather is frowned upon in certain circles, most notably throughout India, and among some vegetarian or religious...

    The Mystery Of The Henley: What Is Its Appeal??

    Brad Pitt may wear a henley well, since he has mesomorphic movie-star proportions (not to mention other premium pieces of apparel to layer with the shirt); but as mentioned above, the henley is unforgiving: a skinny frame will look more skinny; a chunky frame will look more chunky. Most...
