How to Pull Off a Look

[Angelicious]

And just what is wrong with looking like an anthropology professor, hmmmmm??

Aspiring anthropologist,
Jeremiah

lol Nothing, unless you're a 16-year-old-boy asking for vintage clothing tips...

The logic went like this:
- The youngest *anything* professor I know is at least 30.
- ArrowCollarMan is 16.
- A 16 yr old dressed like a 30+ year old can often look odd.
- Arrow didn't want to look "old mannish".
- Therefore I made an educated guess that he didn't want to look like a professor (I said anthro because there is a prof at my uni who dresses in polo and sports jacket/blazer all the time. I nearly said history...)

Nothing wrong with anthropology in my book...

Ah no need for the explaination, dear. I was just joking. But thank you, and I see what you mean. We definately don't want him to come out looking like Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy or anything.

Or do we....?

And to be honest, I dont think i've seen the polo shirt/blazer combo much if at all, but, I don't think i'd like it.

The answer is... WE DO! If I could dress as well as Fred, man that would be cool! Wait, I already do!lol

This picture reminds me being fitted for my first suit when I was like 10 or 11. It was at Brooks Brothers, and I was the ringbearer in a family friend's wedding. I feel so old - that couple has two kids now!

 

[ArrowCollarMan]

I've never gotten fitted for a suit. The first suit I ever owned was off the rack. My mother got them for my brother and I so we could have one to wear for my Grandpa's funeral. The pants on that one don't fit me very well anymore and now I'm pretty much switching over to the new one I got.

I've decided I am going to cut my hair tomorrow, but before I do does anyone have any suggestions to any other hair cuts that are on the longish side other than this one?

 

[Wild Root]

Go for the style the man is sporting in your avatar! You'd be happy with it I'm sure! you can comb it back and it stays out of your way... my self, it's kind of long but, I keep it from getting that "Duck tail" at the back... I hate mullets and duck tails... just seem kind of white trashy looking to me... kind of "Hey Verne" if you will. Cool and classic doesn't co-exist... they both start with the same letter but, that's the only similarity the two words share.lol Go with something like Clark Gable wore!

[BellyTank]

Hey!

Cool and Classic do co-exist Mister!

Just tell the Barber what Mr. Gable used to say-
" ... a little off the ears please"

[Wild Root]

Well, modern cool and vintage classic do not co-exist. Vintage cool and classic does... it's complicated. lol

if you want to keep as much length as possible i would look at johnny depp's hair in 'Ed Wood' for inspiration. it is basically all one length down to the tops of the ears, then shapes in neatly to the neck at the back.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

Or you can just say "Moe".

 

[Wild Root]

I say MOE! If I were a tough guy, I'd wear my hair like that!!!

[ArrowCollarMan]

wow...thanks

Here are some more ideas for you, ArrowCollarMan:

 

[Mr. Rover]

I like DiCaprio's young Howard Hughes hair with the bangs. You can probably find it very easily by googling for some pictures..

 

[ArrowCollarMan]

I did like teh guy's haircut here...although I'm not sure if mine is wavy enough for that style. I still havn't gotten my hair cut but I am going for the slicked back look.

 

[Wild Root]

My hair isn't wavy... darn it! I have very fine straight hair and I slick it. Have the barber cut it like this, then slick it... it will look very Rudolph Valentino! And you know what a sensation he was!

Gee, and I have been cutting that out of my hair all these years. I could get that look tomorrow. Dang wavy hair. Down! Down!

Regards,

J

Not enough people remember these people from yesteryear. If I was trying to be Rudolph Valentino no one would get it. [huh] I still have a few more hours until I get my hair cut.

Try Robert Mitchum's hairstyle from the 1940s:
