Discussions about style for today’s gentleman
How I wish I could go an east-coast summer wedding and be surrounded by the experience Adam Rappaport writes about in this GQ blog:
I have the seersucker suit, I have the bowties, I have the linen and the loafers. Someone who knows me on the east coast and who is getting married when the weather is warm, please send me an invite!!!
Last night, on the train coming home, a homeless man came up to me and told me I needed to get rid of the tie I was wearing because it “just looks bad.”
I laughed and told him thank you for the advice.
It was a lime green tie with small, subtle blue designs. My grandmother gave me that tie. I love it – no way am I getting rid of it.
But a valuable lesson can be taken from this. Style will always attract comments and criticism, even when you think you might be immune.
You can’t please everyone.
