    [article] Age appropriate dress for men.

    When I was younger, I usually dressed "older" but as I have aged, my wardrobe is propably more "age appropriate". I do wear shorts. In the Texas heat you have to sometimes in order to survive. Most of my shorts tend to be rather longish. In fact, if the knees were gathered, they could be...

    Speaking of Drive Ins?

    As a young child, I remember my mother taking my brother, my sister, and myself to the drive -in movies. I remember seeing , Mary Poppins, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, 1 million years BC, and the Ghost in the Invisible Bikini, and others. I have to admit tha looking back these were fun times...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    I grew up in the deep south. Between the heat, the gnats, and the flies, I was never a big fan of outdoor barbeques. My brother built a big brick grill and enjoys cooking out, and I must admit a hamburger tastes so much better off the grill but I prefer to dine inside with the air conditioning

    What are the stereotypes associated with different hats?

    I live in Texas an sometimes sport a cowboy hat. Never gets remarks because they are fairly common. The hat that gets the most comments is the beret that a friend in the Netherlands gave me

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    Tough to pick one. On the previous list was "City Lights". Probably my favorite silent movie. I also liked "Resevoir Dogs" althought I cannot hear that song " stuck in the middle with you" any more without thinking of the scene in the movie. I will list my top 5 in no particular order. Gone...

    seersucker suits

    I had a seersucker suit which I wore with white bucks and usually wore a bowtie with it. The trousers did have cuffs. Unfortunately, the closet atmosphere has shrunken the suit so I can no longer wear it

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    It has already been said that no one dresses anymore for anything. Last time I took a trip on a plane there were folks in shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops. This was men and women. But I think we have lost courtesy. What happened to please and thank you? What happened to yes maam and no...

    central A/C

    I lived in Savannah, Ga in a house built in 1852. Needless to say not only was there no AC but no heat. Now Savannah is not that cold and we had fireplaces, but the summers are hot, humid and are like living in a swamp. There was a window unit in the bedroom in order to sleep at night but...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Good Morning, My name is Charlie and I live in Dallas, Tx. I don't know if I really have a "style" of dress as I tend to mix and match. You might call it an "eclectic look", but I dress in what I like and feel comfortable wearing. I do have a passion for scarves and ascots. I generally...

    Goodwill buys

    Goodwill and other thrift shops are pretty good. You really have to take the time to hunt but when you find the treasure, the effort was worth it. I found a great thrift shop here that a coworker told me about as he and his wife shopped there for Halloween costumes. Lots of vintage items and...

    Do you own a Tux?

    I wear my tuxedo 1 - 2 times a year. Maybe more if the situation warrants it. I have several different shirts and also vests for a change from the cumberbund

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I really like this "how to dress" list. You would think this would fall into the realm of common sense , but since we have to have these lists, that common sense is obviously lacking in many people. We still get the occassional email from HR reminding folks what is and is not proper work...

    Ascots

    Our office is business casual and so I felt an ascot would look better than the open collar. I do sometimes switch out and wear a necktie and suprisingly, I get more comments from coworkers when I wear a tie rather than an ascot

    Ascots

    Question for Ferragamo I realize this is an old topic but as I am new here and I thought I would ask a question. What reaction from your coworkers did you get when you first wore an ascot to work? The reason I ask is that I had quite a collection that I wore on weekends but a few years ago...
