Style with a gothic edge.

Anonymous asked: Great Style! No Doubt! Please settle an argument between my husband and I, he says when wearing a tie that the wide part that hangs down should be "even" with the narrow part that hangs behind. I say doesn't matter how short narrow part is as long as wide part hits his belt. He is tall and most ties won't reach his belt if keep both "tails" even. Full windsor

The front of your tie should always come down to your belt. It doesn’t matter how long the back of the tie is. He can always use a tie clasp/pin to hold the pieces in place if he cannot use the loop on the back of the tie. This is true no matter what knot you use.

Hello ladies and gents! 

My Etsy store is now open!

The Dandy Prince

If you see an item that you want to purchase that is on my facebook page The Dandy Prince but is not listed, please message me and I will list it so you can purchase it!

The reason I’m making an Etsy is because I am being kicked out of my home, and have nowhere to go, so please signal boost, I need all the help I can get. I only have two months left in this house.

My friend, theblacklacedandy, is getting kicked out of their home and needs help. If you see anything you like on their Etsy shop, please help them out by buying something.

There is no such thing as a good fit that is uncomfortable. The good fit, which, as I have said, must be allied to cutting, must never have any appearance of strain anywhere, and it should look as relaxed as you feel.

Happy Birthday Frederick Austerlitz Fred Astaire 
10 May 1899 - 22 June 1987

“When you talk about Fred Astaire, you talk about heaven. What more can I say?” - Johnny Green, Hollywood Speaks! An Oral History, 1974

“He was not just the best ballroom dancer, or tap dancer, he was simply the greatest, most imaginative, dancer of our time.” - Rudolph Nureyev, 1987

Fred Astaire was simply one of the most influential performers in film history. Not only did he revolutionise the way dance was performed and captured on film, he also had a profound influence on music and hollywood in general. In a time when the world needed something joyous, they got Fred Astaire; a talented, charismatic performer whose charming smile was exactly what movie-goers wanted. Notorious for being a perfectionist and crippled with self-consciousness he floated across the screen with effortless grace that continues to amaze today. Though he was never convinced of it, there can be no doubt that he achieved perfection. 

And at age seventy-eight, he broke his left wrist while riding his grandson’s skateboard.

You know, you so-and-so, you’ve a little of the hoodlum in you. - James Cagney on Fred Astaire in Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, from Top Hat (1935)
