The Dude?s a Biden

Regardless of one’s politics, it’s hard to deny that in choosing Joseph Biden as his running mate, Barack Obama picked the best-dressed man in the Senate.  Admittedly, there’s not much competition for that title, but Biden stands out due to his willingness to wear form-fitting suits in a shade other than blue or gray, fun […]

Warp Drive

Work shirts made of chambray (a lightweight fabric woven with white threads across a colored warp) are a classic that date back to the early 20th century: think of an old-time car mechanic.  J. Crew is currently offering a version that stands out with a unique collar,  sort of a throat latch.

Everyman Is No Man

If, while recently visiting the troops in Kuwait and Afghanistan, Barack Obama strove to look like the ordinary man, he succeeded all too well.  With his shapeless black polo shirt, ill-fitting pleated khakis (note the bunching in the crotch and the pooling at the ankles), and prominently-displayed Blackberry and wireless microphone, he is dressed for […]
