    Ascots

    I'm seventeen and I own two ascots. I purchased them at vintage store while I was visiting London, England. I can probably count on one hand the times I've worn them.

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    Eyelet collars/ Collar Bars: Can they be worn today?

    Does anyone wear a shirt with a collar bar anymore? I think it looks elegant. Be it on an eyelet collar or on a club collar. I was watching Mad Men and Roger Sterling's collars inspired me to ask this question. It's a shame because they are among the many style accessories I wish would be in...
