Ascots…more like asscots!

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

There’s been a lot of hub-bub in the fashion world revolving around the American comeback of the ascot–you know, that silky scarf in lieu of a tie seen on most Italian womanizers in 1950′s movies.  LKc Style thinks that while this “look” certainly packs the punch and will make you stand out…it is not for the faint of fashion heart, and not for most at all. Do you think you’ll ever own or wear an ascot??

If I were an older gentlemen, I wish I could pull of this look so well. The Sartorialist does it again, capturing style in such a natural but almost to-good-to-be-true environment. Here’s how you might put this look together on a shoe-string…and not a fancy Italian shoe-string, a regular ol’ dirty shoe string:

Dress to Meet the Parents

Monday, January 18th, 2010

So, you have been dating So-and-So for a while now and whether you want to or not, she’s requested you meet her parents for a little “get-together.” So-and-So’s parents are probably nice enough but will still be judging you with hawk eyes. A few tips to meet Mr. & Mrs. So-and-So:
1. Don’t try too hard–unless you’re going to a formal dinner, a tie and/or suit in this situation might make you look stuffy. Leave the formalities at home.
2. Don’t look like the slob So-and-So met drunkenly at the bar last Saturday night–more than a t-shirt is required for this event. Don’t fret, you can still be comfortable.
3. Have a good handshake ready. Think Budwiser: not too heavy, not too light.
