error501:

How do you get the tie to levitate like that?

Other than tie a good knot and getting a high quality tie, when you go to tighten the knot, hold the tie perpendicular away from your body and tighten the knot. This should achieve the “tie boner” you are looking for.

Hilarity.

WIWT: 07-24-2012 — It’s been pointed out to me by acutestyle that I no longer do WIWT shots anymore. It’s true, as I rarely leave the house and wear something slightly interesting. But today I had lunch downtown with a friend and with temperatures in the low 80s, and took the opportunity to wear a necktie.

I’ve still been keeping my color palette toward blues and neutral tones. I feel like that’s more a part of my uniform now than anything. It’s much simpler to deal with. I get the appeal of color in the summer (I have some colorful items still in the closet), but I feel it’s easier to make an outfit seasonal for summer by just wearing lighter tones and shades of white.

Summer has caused me to jettison wearing denim regularly in favor of linen-cotton trousers, but I also give these seersucker trousers frequent rotation, too, that I orphaned from a suit from Haspel I bought a few years ago.

The shirt is from MyTailor.com and is a linen-cotton blend in a light blue with a very subtle white stripes. The Hemrajani brothers still make the best MTM shirts in my opinion and I’m glad I got this made for summer. I got re-measured while at the StyleForum 10th anniversary party’s vendor showcase and it arrived just in time for the heatwave.

The necktie is from Sette Neckwear, which I also picked up at the vendor showcase. It’s got a neat story behind it that I’m saving for a future post.

Other items: summer navy blazer from Howard Yount, belt from Bill’s Khakis, socks and shoes from Paul Stuart, and pocket square from Kent Wang.

Bringing it back. Good to see this on my dashboard.

“I’m doing more mind-reading here with Dolan—never a safe proposition. But here’s what I am confident saying about Dolan on the subject of Lin’s ethnicity: he has absolutely no grasp of what Jeremy Lin really means as a cultural phenomenon. It does not pierce his bubble. It stirs no emotion in him. He doesn’t understand what it means for millions of people in this country, and around the world, to watch the first Asian-American superstar athlete excel on the highest stage, and what it means to have that player wearing the uniform of his team. The pride, the joy, the inspiration, the transformative effect it can have on an entire generation of kids.”
