Dandy Retail: The National Clothier
From an article on window displays in the March, 1921 issue of The National Clothier, a menswear trade magazine. That would lure me into a store!

Dandy Style Icon: Fred Astaire
In interviews I'm frequently asked if I have any style icons and I always answer that Fred Astaire tops the list. As a child I was engrossed by Fred Astaire movies and the many hours I spent watching them were probably partially responsible for shaping my personal style as an adult. Sure, Astaire was a snappy dresser. Usually a flower on his lapel, often in a suit if not a tux, impeccably put together even when dressed casually. But it wasn't just about the clothes. He had a sophistication about him that made him that much more stylish. Here are a few favorite photos illustrating his iconic status. Who are your style icons?

Dandy Accessory: The Neckerchief
As the temperature has risen over the last couple of months we've been all about the neckerchief. It was last summer that we started noticing guys wearing neckerchiefs and even more so this summer. As announced last month, the Japanese brand United Arrows will soon be carrying several styles of our neckerchiefs. And then the photos from Tommy Ton for GQ and Nam for Street FSN in Florence and Milan this month have shown that neckerchiefs have caught on even more across the pond. We expect to see them more and more as we head into July and August and by next summer for them to really blow up. Do you wear neckerchiefs?

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers out there. Stylish guys often talk about the inspiration they received from their fathers, grandfathers, and maybe a natty uncle or two. After all, they're often the ones from whom we learned to tie a tie, shine our shoes, and perhaps accompanied us to purchase our first suit. What have your learned about style from the men in your family?
