BZZT! Sometimes tucked in shirts look much better.

What are you nuts? Flat visors make you look like a 50 year old geek dad who doesn't know how to look normal.

Have a gentle curve, but not too much.

I wore a tie every day at school. It's not a problem now when I have to wear one with a suit to weddings or on the rare occasions I have to meet clients etc.

If you wear a suit without a tie you just look ridiculous.

It does? I heard it came from Croatian soldiers in or around the French Revolution who used to tie red scarves around their necks. When they entered Paris (don't ask me the details!) it became high fashion as the French copied it. Thus, from Hrvat (Croat) = cravate and Krawatte (in German).

As an aside, I think the name in Russian is galstuk, which sounds a lot like the Swedish halsduk.

Keeping sideburns short is one of the few things I agree with Speer on. I just avoid the whole visor thing altogether...

hey, it's all about the life of the mind.

you know why we have no school of engineering, or a perfomance music degree? it's too practical. our computer science is geared more to research programming than real-world programming.

but really? looking good should not be a primary concern at all for anybody who fancies him/heself as a serious student.

at least, when they're not on dates or at some formal occasion.

i got another tip... make sure your clothes match! If i'm wearing dark indigo dye blue/black jeans, I would wear a white shirt and white shoes or with blue jeans or khakis, a black shirt and black shoes... NEVER wear black shoes and white shirt or some bullshit like that... you can get away with having your shoes the same color as your pants but they got to be either the same color as your pants or your shirt, not an entirely different color... how boys can go around with blue jeans, a yellow shirt, and grey sneaks i got no idea... also, if you wear a hat, make sure your hat matches too... its tricky though cause is it like should your hat be the colour of your shirt or the colour of your pants?


Imran:

no gentle curve... flat is the style now and has been for a few years... i remember when we used to give our hats that gentle curve but that went out...

i looked among my scanned pictures for someone wearing a hat and found my boy d rocking a flat philies cap. it's below. and notice how his shirt matches his hat. thats what i'm talking about people!
