Boomer Guys Have Stuck Fashion Gold
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.

@Marty: Woo Woo, maybe I can be your poster boy for gimpy fashion? I gotta go wander around your place. Nice to have you drop in/delurk
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!
