LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS: Tie It On

Let's Hear it for the Boys

Well-dressed men are arduous to come by. It’s not often that you’ll observe a guy in a tie. Dressed to the nines, in one part casual and one part dressy, today’s Fashionisto is all parts debonair. Embodying the epitome of dapper, it’s certainly refreshing around campus. What’s better than a dapper man as an idyllic accessory?

Weston’s hipster-chic style is reminiscent of ’50s men’s fashion. Appropriate, as he is a History major and loves to incorporate timeless pieces into his wardrobe. The foundation of his outfit consists of slim cut jeans with black Converse. His United Kingdom belt balances the various shades of blue while providing personal quirkiness to his ensemble. However, the stand out piece isn’t his idiosyncratic belt. His snowflake tie was the primary detail that captured my attention. Ties, specifically the decorated variety, initiate a fantastic focal point within your outfit.

Your individual autonomy doesn’t have to be lacking because you’re well presented. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so do yourself a favor and attempt this Fashionisto’s look — try on a tie!

Hint: Obtaining a denim (or chambray) button-up is the first action in imitating this look. Subsequently, slim or skinny, well-fit jeans are essential. Levi Strauss offers a variety that’s sure to please every aesthetic. For your feet the one and only original Converse sneakers are a necessity. To complete this hipster-chic ensemble, scour for a patterned tie. Wildties has assorted ties for every occasion. For a full on 1950’s look, add a black leather jacket.
