Has anyone seen the new issue of GQ?

[Serial Hero]

I’m not sure if this has been posted, but the new issue has a picture of one of our very own FL members (not me) in their “people on the street” section. I can’t remember what page; 34 or 35 I think, just after a little article on how the hat is making a comeback.

There's a thread here that talks about the hats on page 30 of the new issue, so I looked when I was at Barnes and Noble this morning. I didn't look through the rest of the magaize though. Who is the GQ Lounger?

It seems to me some other men's magazine stated that a year ago....

....except in a bigger, more in depth way.

Yeah, but it takes real courage to do something when you know it isn't "cool" or popular--along with being secure in yourself.

Maybe they are reading that magazine for some ideas! Maybe they are getting nervous that the style they push is not the "classic style"lol

Oh...I don't know. Just because "Return of the Hat" was our cover story a year ago....and that they have an fashion story with John Hamm....who was on our cover last issue....or that they show our member, Ray in their column.....

.....I am sure it is a complete coincidence.

May partly be, may not. More and more stars are being featured with their hats, like well known character actor Johnny Depp and former Monkee Micky Dolenz (who still has a tonne of style to go around). I'm sure that's helping at least a bit.

Now, I'll truly be shocked if they ever have a feature on belt back sport coats.

They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I don't know about flattery, but maybe they are starting to realize what many of us already know: There is a BIG difference between fashion and STYLE. (Or, more likely, they are just trying to sell magazines and are taking notes from Classic Style.)

That I doubt. GQ is the highest selling men's style magazine.

GQ is the highest selling men's magazine and I'm sure that they intend to stay there. The best remain the best by contantly monitoring and benchmarking the competition.

fftopic: He's a lead actor.

Aha, now I know.

Hey, wait a second, I know what magazine you're referring to :eusa_doh: .

Yes, he is often a lead actor, but he's millions of times more versatile than many movie stars today. A great director once said, "An actor is someone who pretends to be someone else. They change everything about themself to become that person. A movie star is someone who pretends that someone else is them."

In that same issue did anyone catch their brief article on three piece suits and the way they should fit. It seems to go against what is recommended on this board and others. For example it said that the vest should not extend past the belt and the pants should rest on the hips. Can't say I agree with their advice on that.

I saw that. It should have been titled "How to NOT wear a three piece suit". *yucky*

Most around here would disagree with this bad advice from GQ. With the length of today's ties, short vest, hip hugging pants, and let us not forget the oversized shirts on sale today, anyone who follows this advice could end up looking oddly put together. You will end up with bulging shirt and extra tie sticking out from your midsection. Not an area most of us want to emphasize.
