For the Boys: What Kind of Man Are You?

Gucci-sharkskin-suit-Bluefly-FlyPaper.jpgHugo-Boss-suit-Bluefly-FlyPaper.jpgGuy Trebay's NY Times piece about men's suit trends made an interesting point about American manhood. These days, men's suits are either painfully hip (think fitted European cut, young as in too short blazer cuffs, high-water pants and skinny ties) or old school gentleman -- with boys playing dress up in traditional three-pieces, while the old heads are revising the suited look with quirky, boyish deets. One thing that continues to separate the men from the boys, though is the price tag. With a decent blazer & pants combo starting at $500, this would be a great time to check out the Suit sale we're having.
