A fitting style would be a wide-brimmed tando with a contrast grosgrain ribbon band and edge binding, in colors that coordinate with the suit.<br /><br />Peak lapels, a large pocket square, a genuine flower boutonniere, and two-tone spectator shoes would be some other authentic period touches.<br /><br />I'm just sayin'.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17177804.post-69918491731037474712010-11-04T02:20:20.669-04:002010-11-04T02:20:20.669-04:00This man seems pleasant.This man seems pleasant.Nikellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17177804.post-25709080865880740272009-01-17T06:11:00.000-05:002009-01-17T06:11:00.000-05:00Oh this guy is FANTASTICOh this guy is FANTASTICAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17177804.post-21136477711048395512009-01-12T10:26:00.000-05:002009-01-12T10:26:00.000-05:00WORD UP!I love this post, and I love the gentleman...WORD UP!<BR/><BR/>I love this post, and I love the gentleman clad in the pink. I LOVE Morris Day (oh, but that "how's the family" line in Purple Rain was so mean!). <BR/><BR/>Style blogs that only post the expected bore me to tears. I love the purple flavor that came out of Minneapolis in the 80s. <BR/><BR/>SIDE NOTE: I remember not being allowed to see "Purple Rain" b/c it was almost rated X. It seems like a Disney film by today's standards! We watched it at my friend who had the coolest mom's house.<BR/><BR/>beckythebubbreporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261667323677777482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17177804.post-27645358879376036562009-01-11T20:28:00.000-05:002009-01-11T20:28:00.000-05:00One of the most human bits of fashion writing I ha...One of the most human bits of fashion writing I have read in awhile and I certainly didn't expect to see it here...or at all (no offense, truly).

I love your keen attention to experimentation and your openness to influences, past and present, that others might brush aside. Few "style kings" who have the--whatever, social cachet or tastemaking influence--that you do remain so unjudgmental and appreciative of the personality and care behind the people you shoot. Your photos are of fascinating individuals, not clotheshorses, and you treat them accordingly (and remind us to as well).
