The Style Blog: Easy Fashion

Monday, August 13, 2012
When I was eight years old my father taught me how to knot a tie by showing me how to make a double Windsor (he never really liked doing anything the easy way). I picked it up pretty quickly, and under the guise of practice gained an all-access pass to his closet. My father's array of ties became my favorite toys. Since I mastered the knot so easily, I had very little understanding for the clip-on ties the boys at my parochial school wore as part of their uniforms. The very idea of a clip-on tie became offensive, a cop-out -- the dreaded easy way out. It's taken me a while to see that not everyone has the time or the desire to fiddle with their clothes.

My father and I are a bit of an oddity in this regard (in my family, it's my father and not my mother who trolls sample sales and gets territorial if anyone comes close to his pile of finds). I can see that fashion is not as interesting a subject to most people. But I do know that everyone likes to look good -- usually with minimal effort. Since most people have a hard time pairing things that go well together, some of the golf brands are trying to help make it easier. You can now find pieces that are like the clip-on ties of apparel. Pieces that are pre-layered and pre-paired for minimal effort. Even a nice one-piece romper for the golf course can do the trick.
