For Pleat’s Sake

Gentlemen, pleats are back. Well, at least when it comes to dress slacks. More specifically, when it comes to dress slacks in various shades of grey. The lackluster color is making a global comeback thanks to a more subdued attitude worldwide. As is the case with most trends, the fashion-powers-that-be advise that if you opt for the pleated look, that you tuck your shirt in and have a belt and shoes that are equally protruding, in the stylish sense, of course.

Doll House

Rat Face
At the height of the 18th century, it was all the rage to wear artificial eyebrows made out of decaying dead mouse skin. Luckily, today Botox, etc. can make the browline equally stiff, just in a much more pleasant manner that yields much better results!
