Final outfit of the year and I wanted to go out with the crazy Oxfords. Moreover, they matched the tie my boys selected for me this year. It's a Silvio Fiorella, who I believe makes the most beautiful ties in the world (artistically). I'm not a fan or actual real-life items being drawn onto ties, so I asked my wife how attached they were to this particular tie. The response was "VERY". They took several days to come to agreement on it, so it is absolutely staying in my tie collection for good. Now it's a reason to bring out the crazy Oxfords!
I hope everyone has a fantastic New Year's Eve and that your New Year is wonderful. It's a great time for a reset, if you've been looking to do so. Be the gentleman you've wanted to be, starting now!
