Re: Larry Kudlow loves Turnbull and Asser
Well spotted. It's not the design of tie that I would wear.
Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Larry Kudlow loves Turnbull and Asser
Part of the problem is that the tie is sitting on a shirt that is too weak for it. In America, it is very common for men to assume that three patterns are bad and that one element of shirt, tie or suit must be a solid or very weak pattern. It's like someone with no natural rhythm trying to remember a few basic dance steps by repeating them over and over.
I've found that a strong tie actually works better on a strong shirt; that the issue of patterns fighting isn't as traumatic as one completely overpowering the other.
Note the windowpane suit which would be more appropriate for cocktail hour than prime time and the pinky ring.

Prince Charles carries T&A off very well, especially that thin knot on the repp ties he's been doing in the last couple of years.

Re: Larry Kudlow loves Turnbull and Asser
I think those ties are not the best T&A design to start with. I don't think those empty splashes are just not that pretty. Drakes has made some too (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Drakes-London-BN-Purple-White-Droplet-Pattern-Silk-Tie_W0QQitemZ110398591014 ), and it really doesn't do anything for me.
I think it would work best with a loud shirt with bright candy stripes.
I'm not sure what to think of the white colar on a very light shirt. The potential for contrast is limited.
The whole outfit is fugly. Maybe the suit would work well with some other combo.

Re: Larry Kudlow loves Turnbull and Asser
I have to admit, I generally like Kudlow's style. He seems to wear pink ties quite often. And pyn stripe suits. But his relentless upbeat bullishness (which causes me to ask, is he still on drugs?) is extremely grating and I have come to consider it a contrarian indicator.

Looks like a typical coke head to me. Shamefully, I've spent many a 48hrs at the coffee table of such baffoons.

Re: Larry Kudlow loves Turnbull and Asser
It's not a bad financial news channel if you bear in mind that it comes off as overly weighted towards big business, as if their the good guys and we should treat them better than ourselves. Larry comes across as one of the biggest shills but we are discussing the clothes, not his drug addictions or even his looks. Clothes, gentlemen, clothes.
