    @Mik said in The Well-Dressed King:

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

          .image.jpeg

          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.

                                      That is awful.

                                      It is current.

                                      But really ugly, just not right.
