PeeWee’s Word of the Day: Cheaper

Friday, January 29th, 2010

So, I’m a little behind on my reading–”I know you are but what am I????”   If you missed it, Details Magazine put out an article hailing the renewed PeeWee Herman coming back into the limelight. As much as you might be excited about big bike adventures, mini-weenies, words of the day, and a talking globe (talking everything, I guess), I was taken aback by PeeWee’s attire in the photoshoot. He ditched the gray suit and is going for something a little more suave, but just as fun. Even though he’s a more grown up, I hope he still makes his breakfast the same way everyday. Here’s PeeWee’s look at much more affordable prices:


Haggar Navy Suit $260


Gant Easyfit Pinpoint Gingham $44.19 (On Sale from $144!)


PVH 80-20 Plaid Silk Tie $28

ReStyle: Casual James Bond in the Office

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

“Overall, I am very satisfied with your services. I have been eagerly wearing my new attire to work with pride. The remarks have been overwhelmingly positive…I appreciate your recommendations [of clothing] , but more so guidance on fashion sense, fitting styles, and clothing maintenance.” –Minnesota Client

LKc’s newest client works an office job, but was hoping to look more professional than his regular khaki routine–especially for client meetings. At the same time, he didn’t want to look inappropriately dressed up in a full suit either. The best route: choose GREAT high quality black and/or gray pants, then pick button-down shirts, ties, sweaters and jackets that all color coordinate in the same color palate to get the most bang for your buck!

THIS RESTYLE WAS DONE ALL VIA E-MAIL!!!!!!! LKc CAN DO PERSONAL SHOPPING, CLOSET CONSULTATIONS AND MAKEOVER VIA WEBCAM AND E-MAIL–WE TAKE CLIENTS FROM ANYWHERE!!

I think The Boss will always be the boss. Even if you aren’t a multimillion dollar, decade-spanning rock star, you could still easily pull of this look (with or without a guitar). Think minimally, jeans+button down+vest:


Alfani Dress Shirt $24.99


Asos Religion Waistcoat $20.40


Apt 9 Straight Leg Jeans $24.99

[regarding Time Out Chicago's Public Eye feature this week]

I don’t often try to negatively critique others, but I saw this photo, which is oh so public, and I couldn’t help but say something. Peter Ladwig, shame on you for making your other wiley hipster friends look like a follow-the-leader-but-I-don’t-actually-care genre. Clean yourself up and stop wearing jeans with holes in them. And worse, you’re representing my alma mater town: Madison, WI. And if you were really trying to look the part so hard…should you not have gone with Hamm’s??
