It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad… Men.
Ever since Mad Men first aired in 2007, men and women alike have gone Mad for the show— the actors, the writing, and of course the costumes! Scientific studies* have shown that, since the show’s premiere 5 years ago, men in general have become approximately 41% more dapper.
If you are not among this 41%, or simply want to step your game up even further, check out some of our fashionable fixins!
May there be a little Don Draper in all of us (but please don’t take that the wrong way!)
xoxo,
Sally

Way, way back in the day, when Mani was being born, I wrote this post about how, if Mani were a man, he just might be Paul Newman himself: sophisticated yet manly, but never macho. It’s no wonder, then, that as I perused this amazing photo blog I became inspired. As Mani has grown, he really has become even more like Mr. Newman. Mani has settled confidently into “his” personal style. He has grown up!
Just take a look at these photos of Paul I found:
Casual, appropriate, endlessly cool, and the man knew how to rock a few carefully selected, timeless accessories. Plus, ya know… he was easy on the eyes.
Here are a few modern pieces, available at Manifesto, that recall what what Newman was all about; put together, yet carefree:
Top row, L-R: watch, Dean Accessories; newsboy cap, Goorin Bros.; wallet, Property Of; bow tie, Sovereign Beck.
Bottom row, L-R: Bayside Moccasin, SeaVees; Marlin, Born; Raider, J. Shoes; Iron Ranger, RedWing.
Who is your style icon?
12 Days of Christmas: Day 7
Seven swans a-swimming, eh? Do you have a pond or a pool for those things? Chances are that even if you did you would rather not have it occupied with a bunch of birds, no matter how beautiful, unless you’re Hugh Hefner. And I’m pretty sure he has like five pools. Here’s a better idea for your loved one (if I do say so myself:)
How about a gorgeous tie from New York dandies Sovereign Beck? We have plenty of styles available for any man in your life to look like an upstanding member of society! Every man needs at least one good neck tie that is versatile for many occasions, so come see for yourself and give that guy a leg up.
Stick around for the eighth day of Christmas, all!
JUST IN! Gorgeous neckties and bowties from New York’s Sovereign Beck. Certainly the best way to start adding a little jazz to your outfits, the wool and silk styles also make great gifts!
