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??

Gentleman, the last few decades we’ve been focusing on shorter scarves perhaps with the idea that long scarves were for women only. But, scarves are really to keep warm…and you know what they say about long scarves, dontcha?!?! ehhhh? Anyway, if you’re man enough to rock this look, check out some of these goodies:

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:

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.

We had the first (sticking) snow in Chicago last night…and I’m sure similar fates are being seen in the northerly states all around. Time to get out your scarves and gloves to avoid frostbite and also look devilishly handsome and prepared. Below are some unique, affordable ideas (great as holiday gifts too). You can see I’m especially enjoying the look and prices from TopMan for your manly winter needs.
