@Mik said in The Well-Dressed King:

I actually missed wearing suits and ties to work.

Sometimes I do feel nostalgic about the old days of wearing suits to work. That time coincided with a period of my life when I was younger and everything just felt more hopeful with endless possibilities back then.

It was much easier to get dressed in the morning, …

Now it’s even easier because I either stay in my pajamas or pick one from my dozen or so Columbia “fishing” shirts.

The modern 2-sizes-too-small look in men's suits is ridiculous.

The king looks good in that picture

Here with the wife, she has a little of the Jackie O look in this picture, is that on purpose?

Someone, please ask Mr. Trump to button that jacket for the pictures.

And a couple buttons to hold that collar down wouldn't hurt.

Is that what that miserable excuse for a tie knot is? Ugh. I see it all over the place these days and I hate it. Half-Windsor FTW. Symmetrical and neat. I was always very particular about how my tie looked, and generally wore Talbot ties and the like.

Ppfffttt … if you want symmetry, full Windsor FTW.
My full Windsor knotted Walmart tie is the gold standard.

If I want to go fancier or just need to fix the tie in place, I add a Donald J. Trump branded gold plated tie clip accentuated with three small diamond studs from Macy’s.

If you full Windsored a Walmart tie the knot would be the size of a softball and about 6 inches left below.

Yes.

Have to admit that Biden (when not on the beach, of course) always looks well-dressed at official events.

As for the Twitter thread, it’s easy to make tall, slim men look good. I would like to see all the author’s “principles for good tailoring” stress tested on the likes of Peter Dinklage and Kevin James before calling them good.

@Axtremus

The jacket appears appropriate. Four-in-hand knot. Lapels right width and the sleeves and jacket are not too small or short

.

Trousers too long, but the jacket seems OK.

Kevin’s jacket looks a little tight in the sleeves. I also prefer Peter’s collar to the King’s

Same here. Although the collar "pointing" to the lapel notch is a nice touch, I prefer the longer down-pointing collar, or, like @Mik , a button-down.

For a practical dress shirt I prefer button-down, but for a more formal dress shirt I prefer no buttons… I saw a dress shirt requiring cuff links, but with a button down collar. Stupid.

I will put in a "plug" for a shop in BKK that is operated by some people I know.

That is awful.

It is current.

But really ugly, just not right.
