Dear CG:
Thanks for your in-”sights” (haaaaaaa)…below are a few black frame glasses with no prescription so you can look the part but without a-stigma(tism). The chunky rectangle frames are warping into a more retro look lately (e.g. every newscaster from the 50’s and 60’s). These are a couple that are stylish and dignified and not trendy enough that you’ll pitch them in a year:

Thanks to my pal The Possessionista for sending over a reader who is looking for men’s dress shirts that have a different pattern on/in the cuff and collar similar to those seen on Cameron in the hit TV show Modern Family. As a brief education, these shirts are called “contrast collar” or “contrast cuff” shirts. These shirts are definitely not main stream and can often be difficult to find, especially if you are looking for something specific. You can often find contrast collar/cuff shirts with white collars and/or cuffs, but different patterns are always a unique find, although rather pricey. For the best affect, it’d be best to get a shirt tailored for your exact needs. Here are some neat ones I found:
Modus Coture $99; You have to be a real man to wear this.

Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday, June 20th! Did you pick something out for your pops yet?? No need to go overboard with golf clubs and fancy cars…unless you have that kind of money; but you should pick up your old man a little something just to say thanks for putting up with you after all these years. Here are just a few Father’s Day do’s and don’ts for a nice gift:

My friend The Possessionista sent me over a request from one of her loyal fans asking for some manly looks. Here’s what Lauren had to say: Know you’re a fan of Gossip Girl too and was wondering if you had any idea where the plaid buttondown shirts that Nate wore on the Gossip Girl finale are from? He looked adorable and I want to find them, or something similar, for my husband. Thanks so much 
Lauren
