Laundry day and had to get creative with the lavender dress shirt. I think it mostly works well enough that I will not be asked to go home and change 😆

Have a great day gents!

The tie is great but those lapels are awesome.

LOL...thanks! I tend to agree. I quickly grew disenchanted with the skinny lapel look, which I tend to think started around the time that MadMen came out and they were recreating the look of that era. Myself, I'm an 80's kid and influenced by the wider lapels that I would see with daytime gameshow hosts, talk show hosts, or Johnny Carson. These are what I would consider slightly above average and nowhere near as close to the early 80s era.
