How To Dress for Success (what a good suit and tie looks like)

[ronpaulhemp]

It's amazing how atrocious the ties that pundits in the mainstream media wear are. It seems like you can get away with almost anything.

Learn how to tie a double windsor, bromo. Crooked knot is crooked.

Exercise too, or else you'll most likely become the unhealthy-looking sort of skinny.

I eat about 2 lbs of grapes, 10 oranges, 10 bananas, 1 lb of spinach/romaine, 1/2 lb of grapes tomatoes and two cups of pistachio nut everyday. I have been doing this for 6 days now and I have lost eight pounds, I have never felt better in my life than I do this past week. It's important to exercise too.

All this talk of windsor knots reminds me of this Wonkette article, specifically this comment.

Some advice I sort of disagree with, but overall good stuff.

No, you don’t want your pocket square the same color as your tie, but it can match a pattern in a tie or be a different shade. It should match something in shade whether it be suit, shirt or tie/a pattern in tie. A white pocket square is safe if you are worried about matching as it goes with everything.

As for cufflinks, I also like to match them with a pattern in the tie if the cufflink has color to it, and I prefer to match a tie that is yellow or gold in color or a similar shade with a gold cufflink. A silver cufflink and a gold hued tie is not a good match.

As a final point, I have a closet full of this stuff and have not worn it for years except for weddings and funerals. 15 years ago it was business attire for me, but now a nice pair of slacks, a sport coat and a collared shirt is all that is needed.

The style now is business casual.

I think even in local political event settings, a blue blazer and grey slacks is fine – with tie optional on a nice collared shirt.

If you are a delegate at the GOP convention, what Alex is wearing would be appropriate.

Body language is important too. It's creepy to see a man looking seductively at another man.

Try the Pratt knot, it is easy and looks great and symmetrical everytime.

I dress like this guy. Don't know how it works for politics, but it works for money and broads.

I dont know actually, I learned when i was 15 from my uncle. I just do it haha,it has no wrinkle,no skinny area under the knot. The know looks good when a tie is not choked to death by the knot

Thread title is misleading. It implies that I would be shown what a good tie looks like

I wear a suit and tie every single day to work. This guy dresses like an idiot and his tie looks ridiculous. He's got a round face, why would he go with an irregular knot? Come on. As you can see, wearing tie badly pisses me off to no end.
