They’ll even give you an opportunity to tell them your opinion, unabashed…which we know will be slammin: “We are a small company who knows what the men of today are looking for (besides love). In the real world, a man should be able to afford the tie he loves and not be forced to love the tie he can afford. The vision: affordable style for the initiated; attainable style to the beginner. This isn’t your grandfather’s haberdasher (unless he wants it to be). We’ve created limited runs of ties we want to wear and hope you will like ‘em too. Let us know what you think.”

 

Erron Jay on Neckwear and Steeze

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

Tell us who you are and what you do…in and out of work. Your passions.
My name is Erròn Jay  and I am an actor recently known for the AT&T Fly Errr Commercial that was all about style. I am also 1/2 of the group “Those Acoustic Kats” and we are spreading good music for the world to enjoy. More can be found @: https://www.erronjay.com

What got you poised for menswear innovation?
I grew up around fashion, my family owned a small clothing botique in Kansas City, MO for a number of years. But it wasn’t until I found my true identity sometime in my time in Chicago, IL. I am a bigger guy, but that was not going to hold me back from being innovative with my ever changing style.  Clothes don’t make the man, but they sure do help the man.

Why do you think neckwear is so important and give us some examples?
Neckwear is not needed at all times, but when an occasion calls for something more classy a tie or bow tie is the easiest way to get to where you need to be. And I think Life calls for us to be more classy more often times than not!

What gave you the idea of using neckties as bowties?! Tell us about another steezy innovative thing you’re doing with your clothes!
Bowties are awesome, but often times very expensive. I was looking at my necktie collection and thinking to my self there must be a way… It took some time and a lot of effort annnnd a lot of internet searches. Once I figured it out, I knew I had a beautiful addition to my wardrobe. Neckties turn in to beautiful bowties and are double the size of a regular bowtie once tied. The size also brings a great deal of attention to me and my entire outfit form both men and women alike.

What’s your favorite thing this year?
Favorite thing this year is the new trend of glasses actually. Some people need them so they are being more stylish. Some people have perfect vision but want to add a smarter look so they also take up wearing glasses.

What do you think is most important about menswear and why?
Good Jeans. Jeans don’t have to be expensive, but they have to be well made, and stylish, My favorite jeans are made by LRG ($70 bucks) and True Religions ($180 bucks). The best part about Jeans… you can wear them many times before washing them!

What do you splurge on and what items do you thrift and why?
I splurge on on Kicks! I love Shoes! My mom always told me to keep clean shoes that never look too worn. A woman can tell a lot about a man by the shoes he wears. I’m thrifti on clothing… a favorite web site of mine is PKLNDR.COM they have some great prices and there are many elcletic brand names on sale, and they change everyday!

Where do you get your inspiration??
I am inspired by the world around me. I love seeing a plethora of styles and making a hybrid of observed styles. A lot of people tell me that I inspire them, and that motivates me to stay fresh, daper, and for a lock of better words Fly Errr

The Tie Bar

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010


Chicago Time Out recently did a Fall fashion guide which we loved because their models looked great and were wearing, for the most part, very affordable clothes!! We constantly see GQ, Esquire, Details and other media sources showing us great looking clothes that most of us will never be able to afford (but keep reading the LKc Style blog for more affordable look-alikes!). We noticed this great spread on ties and specifically wanted to point out TheTieBar for affordable tie options including their Tie Of The Month Club.

Where have you been buying your ties lately???? LKc Style wants to know!!

It’s a Tie

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

A client is headed to a semi-casual wedding. He requested a suggestion on a coordinating shirt to go with a tie that was pre-chosen. Here’s what he sent me:

shirts-004

shirts-005

shirts-006

shirts-007

shirts-008

What would YOU choose? I chose the solid blue shirt. It’s a nice alternative to white but isn’t as distracting as some of the other striped shirts–the tie here should really be the focus piece because he’s dressing around it (this is only specific to this tie–other shirt and tie patterns can often times compliment each other nicely without clashing). Also, the solid blue compliments the blue in the tie best. I also suggested a solid green as an alternative for something more funky:

Old Navy Poplin $24

If you have coordinating questions like the one above, you can text or e-mail them in! I’m unrolling a CHEAP text/e-mail “Yay/Nay” service where you can get my instant advice on an outfit you’re considering or even trying on at the store!!
