I read it in the New York Times. Plaids and plaids and stripes and checkers are the hot fashion.
One day last week, Mr. Romano was wearing six different patterns: a brown-and-cream houndstooth suit from Paul Stuart, a Truzzi dress shirt in blue and white stripes of varying hues, a Paul Stuart salmon pink tie with a blue paisley pattern, a Charvet gold-and-cream pocket square, suspenders in a chinoiserie pattern of blue, orange and yellow, and color-block socks.
Now picture the guy on the right 150 pounds heavier.
I can’t wait to wear my new outfit to Le Golfing Club. I will be so sheik chic laffed at.

Fashion, smashion….I ignored it when in my 20s, laughed about it in my 30s, and now consider the ultimate of style to be a sleeveless karate gi.
Go figure.
Enjoy,

Barbara Ling’s last blog post..You’re too freakin’ old to learn how to make money with a blog – HAH!
@Barbara Ling: Hi-YA! ***Karate chopped my desk.*** That would be an awesome outfit! You may start a trend.
That is hysterical! You are a true fashion maven and bound to be getting a call any day now to appear on the cover of Gentleman’s Quarterly. I will post this to my blog to give readers a big grin today. Thank you for your sense of humor – if not your fashion sense.

All styles and trends always goes in cycles. It is good to see this look coming back into the mainstream.
It’s funny to see how styles come and go. I love the post!
