Oh sure scarves of all kinds – winter scarves, knit scarves, wool scarves and even warm weather scarves – have been trendy for some time. But not since Jackie O. have we seen prime little neck scarves like these.

The ladies-who-lunch neckware was updated on the recent runways of fan favs like Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana in popping colors and prints.

I'll bet they have a dress code at your work, and I'll bet it's lame. Unless you work someplace stodgy, it's probably business casual, which means khakis, and polos, and khakis, and polos, and khakis, and polos into infinity. Bleh.

In response to the increasingly casual workplace, many guys are wearing neckties -- even though they don't have to.

But now that it's not required, it's a style statement -- at least, that's according to NY Times, which asserts that all the cool kids at ad agencies, art galleries, and hipster bars are bringing back the tie back big time.

But be careful which tie you choose. If you try to pull off the power tie of yore, you'll look like a douche bag. But if you try something more understated -- like, say, the Psycho Bunny tie I pointed out last week -- you'll look like a man's man who knows how to look good.

The dandiest ways to wear ties and pocket squares

Recently, my love for dandyism and all things dandy has experienced a strange revitalization. It is because of this that I have started researching more about Lord Whimsy and his book, The Affected Provincial's Companion. Anne wrote about the companion when it first came out a few months ago, but I never really looked into it until a few days ago. As it turns out, the book has a lovely little website with a tutorial page, featuring fourteen fabulous step-by-step PDFs for how to do various tie knots and pocket square styles. There are also two documents about the grooming of handlebar mustaches. Take note, males of all ages! The tutorials are too easy to ignore.
