Glenn O'Brien Gone Astray...

In this month's GQ Magazine, "Sartorialist" Glenn O'Brien cautiously endorses the bow tie to a reader who asks for his advice.

Now, to give Glenn credit, he did give some hints such as to match the size of the tie to the size of the person wearing it, stay away from whacky patterns, etc.

But the advice he didn't give was this: unless you're an 80 yr old English professor or wearing a classic tuxedo, don't freaking wear a bow tie. And honestly if you are going to buy your own tux rather than just rent, you should probably get a more modern cut with a regular full-length black tie rather than the bow.

I mean, unless you think Tucker Carlson and John Poindexter are just the bestest. Then you are beyond hope, regardless.
