Hi all,

Yes, it’s back.

When tens of thousands of viewers watched American Idol each week to watch Ryan Seacrest and future pop stars like Michael Johns don the two finger width skinny tie, I knew this trend had some staying power.

In “non-skinny” times, the neck tie varies from 3 and one half inches to 3 and three quarter and back again, making it is a fashion rarity when the tie dares go to 3 inches or less. Skinny ties and more can be attributed to the resurgence of 80’s influenced fashion trends including the bubble skirt and asymmetrical zippers, but like many of the 80’s trends, the roots are back in the 1950’s.

Originally worn and copied by such 1950’s legends like the ratpack, it became a fixture of the mods before it was absorbed by the new wave and punk rockers of the 1980’s. I know I have quite a few embrassing pictures from high school dances! Back again, the skinny tie now says more than just cool; it’s elegant, sophisticated, driven, yet relaxed and casual and that’s why it is back with a vengeance.

According to Men’s Flair : “A tiny bit geek, a tiny bit chic, skinny ties have an attitude that’s all their own.” Geek is the new cool.

What is clear is that the trend is here in full force; designers Alessandro Dell’Aqua, Lanvin, Narciso Rodriguez, and Rag & Bone show them on the runways. Rockers Pete Doherty, Fabrizio Moretti, Ryan Adams and celebs; Jude Law, Orlando Bloom, Zac Efron, Daniel Craig, Patrick Dempsey, Brad Pitt and David Beckham wear them on the red carpets with style. The reporters get them on film and then countless American men want to be that snazzy too.

It’s not a bad idea, as long as one knows how to rock that skinny tie. Most concur that there are fashion faux pas that need not be broken when wearing a skinny tie, most skinny tie tips are pretty easy to follow:

“It’s going to look totally incorrect on a big-collared shirt,” warns Carlo Brandelli. And a bit silly, unless you have a narrow lapelled suit and some narrow pants.”

Wear your skinny ties with an equally modern suit. No double breasted suits at all.

They can’t be past your belt and should not be more than 3 inches above.

If you are a big guy, then you cannot wear a skinny tie: “Skinny ties really only look good on skinny guys .”

Really, you need the collared shirt. You can be untucked if you must, but no tee shirts please, though a vest will do nicely.

The classic black skinny tie is still smart on a crisp white shirt, but mixing up your colors and tones can add a more modern look.

Avoid the black and white checkerboard unless you are going to a 1980’s themed party. Shades of gray on gray look sharp, though my favorite look in skinny to date: a men’s fleur de lis tie on a shirt with a very subtle check….smooth.

Some warn that the very conservative office might not accept a skinny tie, but what is fashion if not a bit edgy?

The necktie might have begun as a symbol of love, but it’s a fashion staple now, and at Loehmann’s, it won’t make you choke. You’ll find a great selection of discounted designer skinny ties at Loehmann’s from Ben Sherman, CK, Nicole Miller, Penguin and Theory.

You heard it from Jack!

Hi all,

Jack here and it’s time time to tell you about some upcoming Men’s arrivals at Loehmann’s:

Diesel denim line for men:

Even though the Diesel brand was developed over 20 years ago, it is still one of the most popular and edgy-fashion lifestyle brands in the marketplace! From classic washes to ripped, frayed, and torn contemporary styles, Diesel lives up to their motto of “Diesel–For Successful Living.”

Look forward to seeing a nice selection of jeans for 89.99 ($175-$220 elsewhere) and designer sportswear adveraging 120 ( over $500! elsewhere).

Men’s Graphic Tees

Graphics range from simple message statements to all-over tattoo and Asian inspired artwork in a wide array of colors. I know I love them.

Loehmann’s is not taking this trend lightly, as I have a vast assortment to select from in all the popular premium labels. (14.99-69.99 Compared to department store prices of $40-$105).

Here are some of the exciting brands delivering in August: Black Hearts Brigade, Junk Food, OTB, Drifter, Buffalo de France, Filmore, Go Couture, and Z-Brand.

Michael Kors

From the early days of receiving numerous designer accolades for women’s wear to his achievement of the prestigious CFDA menswear award in 2003, Michael Kors is no stranger to American fashion! Loehmann’s shoppers are in for a real treat this month, as I have secured over 10,000 Michael Kors men’s dress shirts for immediate distribution. Patterns range from stripes to dressy checks, in 100% luxury cotton–in a full array of sizes–and will be offered in most of our stores at 39.99! ($135 elsewhere)

Seven Diamonds

Always pushing fashion to the limit, 7 Diamonds sportswear is one to watch!

Committed to creating looks that are innovative and trend-right, the designers at 7 Diamonds use their knowledge of quality, fit, exclusive finishes, and designs to create a lifestyle brand that captures what we’re looking for in comfort, self expression, creative design and quality. Since 7 Diamonds has mastered the technical aspect of production, they continue to offer constant innovation and new designs, keeping your wardrobe ahead of the curve all season long.

I have 7 Diamond’s short and long sleeved shirts just arriving in select stores and more on their way.

Just around the corner for Men’s fashions:

Watch out for Hickey Freeman and Ike Behar shirts and ties to hit our stores soon.

Both brands are known for their tremendous quality and exclusivity…and will be offered at Loehmann’s at amazing discounts.

(3) Help get Dad ready for the warmer weather with designer casual wear. The men’s collection of sport shirts, polos, shorts and pants in fine wovens and summer weight linens are the same great labels you’ll find in high-end department stores at up to 60% less.

(4) For a younger Daddy or even a Dad young at heart; premium denims, woven shirts, graphic polos, screened tees and shorts in solids, plaids and more are here just in time as well.

(5) For the sporty guy in your life, Loehmann’s has an activewear closeout that will send you running. Shorts, tops, jackets and pants from Adidas and others are priced at a fit 12.99 to 39.99. That allows for both Dad and your wallet to be healthy.

(8) A fine collection of leather wallets from designers such as Polo, Kenneth Cole, Ben Sherman, and Joseph Abboud are going from 19.99 to 39.99. Dad will think that you emptied your wallet for his, but the savings can be our little secret.

(9) If you need to look for gifts for Dad from kids, then look no further. Designer fragrance gift sets for Dads are an extra 25% off. Priced from 14.99, these low discount prices will be available until Father’s Day.

(10) For the Dad that has everything, gift sets can match his interests and promote some well deserved down time. Golf inspired gifts are perfect for tee time, shoe shine kits for the dapper Dad to buff and polish, and wine accessory sets for his fine palette are all boxed up and ready for wrappings and bows. All you need to do is sign the card.

Don’t forget to think about Grandpas, Uncles, and other father fiqures, too. Or maybe, you’re not a dad and just need to treat yourself to some new threads, this will be a prime time for new men’s merchandise to hit the Loehmann’s selling floor.

June 15th is just around the corner and will be here before you know it.
