    Hair Spray: Having Trouble Finding The Kind I Need

    lol this isnt 1984. you want some type of a pomade or cream. I don't recall reading anything about hairspray in Orwell's nightmarish vision of a future totalitarian dystopia.

    should i wear a suit everyday?

    Oh, this so precious. Just wear a relatively nice shirt (long-sleeve and collar open) with jeans or khakis and some Florsheim ankle boots. That's the best you can do for now. Unless you can convince your parents to send you to a better school.

    Hair Spray: Having Trouble Finding The Kind I Need

    Ick. Nothing scented, nothing "wet" - I just need something to keep my dry and natural, no-other-product-used style from flipping and flapping and flopping away in the lightest of breezes. Recommendations please?

    Indian Buffet, experience

    Buffets are a vulgar concept. Dinnertime is fulfilled sufficiently by a single well-prepared dinner - who needs four or five, and all spooned-out of a tray as if dining at a prison?

    today's Men's Flair: women's comments on men's clothing vs attractiveness

    If one's highest priority in dressing is to appeal to women, then just tape stacks of money to your naked skin and confidently stride into their midst.

    Do you ever wear shoes that don't fit?

    Agreed*. Slightly too small can become, after a few wearings and a few weeks with shoe trees in, perfectly form-fitting. But there's nothing to do about shoes that are slightly too big - unless you want to wear Christmas stockings with them. * - With StephenStyle. Jay beat me to the reply.

    Black pocket square

    I don't really see the point of a pure-black pocket square. A white pocket square has a function - that of being neutral whilst clearly showing-off the quality of the silk and the skill of its folder. Black would also be neutral, but the light would do much less with it; it will look like a...

    Do You Wear Pink?

    Pink, toned down with enough gray, could work as a series of specks on a sport coat, or stripes on seersucker shirts or trousers, I think. Oh - and pink of any sort on pocket squares, naturally.

    Pocket Squares - I'm Tired of Boring Folds.

    JL - I don't disagree with those sentiments. As I wrote, I like the technique pictured, but wouldn't wear them myself. I suppose it would've been more accurate for me to write that I am bored with the way I fold pocket squares (than I am with the folds themselves.) If I knew better how...

    Pocket Squares - I'm Tired of Boring Folds.

    Very handsome photos abound of men who've cultivated organic, flowing, blooming but restrained volumes with their silk squares - but I don't have much luck trying to freestyle that sort of thing myself. All the folding guides online lack any of those sorts of folds - nothing floral, nothing...

    How do you store your pocket squares?

    I keep them tied end-to-end within my esophagus, and just keep pulling them out until I find one that appeals to me.

    Double Breasted Style.

    This question has probably come up already, if not in this thread then elsewhere, but - I've a long torso and short legs, and in a typical DB I expect that the flaw would only be exaggerated - unless, I suppose, I wore it open always. Is there any style, any tweak, any alternative cut that...

    Orsay It Ain't So

    And likewise the sentiment of my post was exaggerated - but it does make me wonder just how squared-off the shoes really were. And the Clevis shoes pictured aren't the worst, by far, of their duck-billed horrors. Just idle curiosity. I'm too short to wear any pair of shoes with blunt toes, let...

    My New Glasses & Haircut

    I think that thick, plastic frames like those are a smart choice. They'll have the bulk required to securely anchor the paper bag.

    Orsay It Ain't So

    The shape of the shoes - at the toes, specifically. Clevis Style.

    Pink-stripe Seersucker Trousers: Shirts to Accompany?

    The other what-to-wear-with-pink-seersucker-threads seemed to be more about shoes than anything else. As you've no doubt noticed, I'm insane. Ergo, I bought some pink seersucker trousers. I thought a blue, button-down collar blue gingham shirt in a very light weight would work well, when paired...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    If you mean the Persol(?), no, sorry, that's not quite it. Imagine James Joyce's eyeglasses, but with a nose bridge and temples that are no thicker than your average paper clip is.

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    I have no luck finding frames that look any good on me, so I've had the time and the motivation to envision what I'd like - and actually have arrived at a pretty specific idea. Of course it's unlike anything I've ever found. Could a local jeweler weld me something, or would someone like yourself...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    How can I tell the difference between frames that are for women and those which are for eccentric designer frames for strange men?
