STRIPE ON STRIPES — A pictorial answer to that old saw, "You can't wear stripes with stripes." A great look as you can see . . . shows real flair and expression.
REMEMBER THE SKINNY TIE?
You never saw one that came from Mister Guy, because Mister Guy doesn't stock fad clothes or far-out things that fade before rush week is over.
More than a year ago, Mister Guy started showing the wider 4-inch ties that are the standard width for the knowledgeable traditionalist. This year, Mister Guy's tie collection is wider all the way up to give better balance and a more casual look to the wearer.
Not only are the ties wider, but the knots are "fatter to go with the wider lapels and longer collars. If you aren't sure, the clothing consultants at Mister Guy will show you how to tie the "fat" four in hand knot.
One of the most frequent questions asked of Jerry Berkowitz, owner and fashion coordinator for the Mister Guy stores, is how to coordinate ties with specific outfits.
According to Mr. Berkowitz, proper coordination is the subtle art of mixing patterns, textures and colors that complement or blend. "These concepts are instilled in all our Mister Guy consultants and they in turn help customers in proper selections for tasteful coordination."
The first step in selecting the proper tie is to consider what aspect of one's outfit, one wishes to emphasize...the shirt, coat or trouser.
The next step is to consider how "busy" the tie pattern looks when placed next to the shirt and jacket.
With stripes, for example, a good rule is: the more pattern in the coat, the larger the stripe should be in the tie. The rapidly growing popularity of bolder patterns - stripes and plaids - in both suits and sport coats, means wider and cleaner stripings lead the look in ties for the campus season.
TIE ONE ON THE ANDOVER — A great new collar style by Creighton designed especially for Mister Guy's new wider neckwear. See the whole collection of new bold stripings and rich deep tone solids along with your old classic favorite blue and yellows.
BRIGHT STRIPINGS and new "buttonless button down" collar combine with wide repp stripe to illustrate just WHY the shirts and ties have changed to complement the cut of the suit.
BIG BOLD Stripes combine with wool Shetland tie on Creighton's new Andove collar shirt. A longer buttonless button down that adds new dimension to your shirt collection.
CREIGHTON'S OVER AND OUT SHIRT
A NEW POINT OF VIEW. The Over and Out Shirt. Never one to go along with the crowd, Creighton makes this shirt to wear outside your trousers, and makes it in a Scottish plaided medium wale cardurodur. And now hear this. This shirt is tipped by your favorite Brookside button down collar, that's deeper, fuller and looks just great over anything. They make it with a non-button down caller also.
