Celebrity Saturday: Gabriel Macht

When you think of the best dressed TV shows on air today, theres only one that comes to mind and one actor stands out among the rest of the cast. Gabriel Macht aka Harvey Specter is a powerhouse lawyer and dynamite dresser on the show, but he's been around for much longer Suits. Macht got his start as a child actor in 1980, studied theater at Carnegie Mellon, and has been in a plethora of off Broadway plays and TV shows. When he's not acting as Mr. Sharp Dressed Man, he's living as Mr. Fashionable; whether or not he's taking cues from the set stylist doesn't really matter. Even as a father, Macht manages to maintain an enviable street style like no one else.

Check in tomorrow for a recap of the week's topics and next Saturday for another stylish celebrity influence!

Friday Faux Pas: Loose Ties

Is it nearing the end of the day/work week? Is it hot out and you're looking for a quick cool down? Are you just looking to relax just a tad? For the suited man, these three situations usually lead to one outcome and its one that irks me to the core.
Loose tie...
Loosening your tie may seem like a good idea when you're doing it, but nothing chops away at a crisp, well put together look. The list of excuses for this behavior abounds (see first paragraph for examples), but this is simply something that shouldn't be done. Instead of loosening that tie knot that you took the time to make sure was perfect this morning, try rolling up your sleeves or taking off your jacket and throwing it over your shoulder; these measures will look casual without sacrificing the integrity of your outfit. So to all the culprits out there, tighten up that tie son!
...tidy tie. Which one looks better? I thought so
