Obama always looks smartly dressed and well put-together. He dresses right for the occassion.

The Anne Liebowitz shoot for Men's Vogue showed him wearing different ties.

Washington Post even mentioned the ties in its piece on the article.

Granted, Obama likes playing hoops so I imagine he doesn't wear a tie while doing that. I mean, even Nixon didn't wear a tie while bowling.

It's funny the article says that, because in every photo or video I've seen of him so far, he wears a tie.

In any case, people erroneously credit Kennedy with the death of the hat. That's something to chew on.

Actually, Obama and Kennedy had some contact early on and secretly agreed to eliminate hats and ties from men's dress attire. Kennedy took care of the hat and...well, one can see from this photo how Barack felt about ties even back in 1960.

Or do you mean the Beau Brummel-type neckwear? I kid you not, those are ripe for a return. (They never really went away; the "Ascot" being the modern variant.)
