July 22, 2015

There comes a point in life when you start to know what you like in someone that you date. Sure, some people can come along and surprise you, but for the most part, by your mid- to late 20’s you have certain traits you look for. Physically, mentally, emotionally. And other things that are red … More What you like, Red Flags, and Shirts that Fit: #30folds30days, Double Winged Puff, Day 24

Complexity and Collars: #30folds30days, Valley Fold, Day 23

July 16, 2015

I remember the first time I talked to someone who actually knew football. Not in the way that they could name every player on their favorite football team, or knew all the fantasy scores. I’m talking an X’s and O’s, offensive versus defensive strategy way. Up until that point, football had always operated in my mind … More Complexity and Collars: #30folds30days, Valley Fold, Day 23

Hangers and Things You Hang Onto: #30folds30days, Straight Stair Fold, Day 22

July 15, 2015

I was a pretty forgetful kid. I don’t know if that’s just a normal kid thing, or something particular to me. My head was in the clouds and on other things. Consequently, I lost stuff sometimes. Or a lot. But when I was eight years old, my father gave me his swiss army knife that … More Hangers and Things You Hang Onto: #30folds30days, Straight Stair Fold, Day 22

Discord and Socks: #30folds30days, Sprezz Prez Fold, Day 21

July 14, 2015

I was at a concert during law school, and it was a young guy playing an acoustic act in the Berkshires. He was opening for Jonathan Edwards (of Sunshine fame). And he was clearly talented, had a great voice, wrote well, and could play guitar. The one thing was, that his guitar was just a … More Discord and Socks: #30folds30days, Sprezz Prez Fold, Day 21

Dance and Dress for a Wedding: #30folds30days, Rolling Plateau Fold, Day 20

July 10, 2015

I went to a wedding recently, and from what I was told, I had something near a seizure when dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.” The bride told me she shook every bone in her body trying to keep up. Sometimes, I just can’t help myself. When I’m at a wedding, and the music … More Dance and Dress for a Wedding: #30folds30days, Rolling Plateau Fold, Day 20

The One Step You’re Missing To Tie A Bow Tie: #30folds30days, Two Ripples Fold, Day 19

July 9, 2015

In college, it was rare that you needed to wear a tie. I mean some people did, if they were in something dorky like student government. Then you wore a tie for meetings and stuff. So, at the very least I knew how to tie a tie. And more than that, I knew how to … More The One Step You’re Missing To Tie A Bow Tie: #30folds30days, Two Ripples Fold, Day 19

Some Words About Denim: #30folds30days, Four Point Fold, Day 17

July 7, 2015

Denim is a quintessentially American piece of clothing. Which is to say that its origins are rooted outside of the country, and its trail through history spreads across the globe. Clearly, I’m still on the Fourth of July America kick. Legend has it that the fabric itself has its origins in France, coming from the region … More Some Words About Denim: #30folds30days, Four Point Fold, Day 17

Rules and America: #30folds30days, Five Point Fold, Day 16

July 4, 2015

I have talked a lot about rules on this blog. About icons of style, and things to do, and not to do. How to wear a suit, how to match socks and accessories, colors, patterns, fit, and a whole host of other things. Rules essentially. Guidelines on how to dress. I have also talked about … More Rules and America: #30folds30days, Five Point Fold, Day 16

On Color and Dates: #30folds30days, Scallop Fold, Day 15

July 3, 2015

A friend of mine hadn’t brought any clothes with him to the Adirondacks, and needed a shirt. His closest and easiest option early on a Saturday Morning was the local Wal-Mart. He made his selections and proceeded to check out. “What color is that shirt?” The woman at the checkout counter asked. “I guess it … More On Color and Dates: #30folds30days, Scallop Fold, Day 15

July 2, 2015

There is a sort of uniform that predominates the small border city of Stamford, Connecticut. Influenced by the hedge funds that adopted a business casual style of dress, much of the city has adopted the same dress code. Business Casual.
