A reader sent along a link to a very worthwhile 1957 GQ interview with Fred Astaire, who was for decades considered one of the two (with Cary Grant) best-dressed actors in American films.
That same website is also the home to a memorable piece titled My Father's Fashion Tips.
And, by the way, GQ is also running a nice piece on the oral history of menswear blogging that mentions A Suitable Wardrobe.
For anyone that may not have time to read the linked pieces, just remember that skinny ties make you look like a wuss.

Bah! Tell it Don Draper.
Merry Christmas ;^)
Nice article. Bah! Humbug! to all.

Tom Junod's article is for me one of the seminal pieces of writing about men's fashion. I clipped it when it first appeared in GQ and I was getting my own business wardrobe started. Thanks for posting it as a reminder, Will.
If you think Don looks good with a skinny tie, he'd look better with a wider tie. Skinny ties are for boys.
Well,i don't know.
Sean Connery/James Bond is grat in skinny ties.
