I think the skinny ties are cool. I dress kind of retro and don't care. I have an old 1965 Rick Nelson Album where he is wearing a black and white check houndstooth sportcoat. I also saw the same sportcoat worn by one of the guys in that old 1961 film, Gidget Goes Hawaiian. I made a comment to myself that I wish those would come back in style. Several months later one turned up in a catalog. I flipped and ordered it. I had to go to a business lunch and wondered what others might think of my jacket. I wore it and everybody liked it and kept coming up and looking at it. I also wear slip on loafers, tortoise shell Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, and vintage 1960's wristwatches. Retro Rocks. Screw their opinions
