A lot of you guys know that I like to think of myself as someone who knows how to dress well (that doesn't mean that I always do...) and who enjoys wearing his tuxedo whenever he gets a chance. In fact, I am writing a book about men's clothing that maybe someday I will get around to finishing and hopefully get published someday.
I have helped a few of the regular readers of this blog buy formal suits as well, so many of you know my feelings about how it's a little disappointing that it's so hard to find a peaked lapel jacket these days. You probably also know that I feel it's much better to tie your own bow tie, even if it's a little crooked, instead of just strapping a piece of machine tied satin around your neck, because it gives you a little individuality and it shows that you actually took the time to dress up.
Well, here is a picture of Conan O'Brien from the Grammys the other night. Notice the lapel and the tie.
Now, THAT looks good. Whoever dressed him that night did well.
Update 1: Yes, it looks like he is just wearing plain buttons and not black studs. I guess you can't have everything, but it still looks pretty good.
Update 2: He's is playing a guitar with a black strap over his left shoulder, if you think ths picture looks a little funny.
