Suddenly those skinny ties are everywhere! I saw them at the Oscars: all the cool actors were wearing them. The only ones that still showed up in the dated bow tie outfits were the low-hierarchy documentary film editing folks. Last night the host of American Idol wore a skinny tie. Anderson Cooper will most likely be next. Even Levav, my most fashionable academic colleague, may be pulling out his by next year's Oscars. (My other colleagues may never have stopped wearing theirs from 20 years ago.)
So, it’s time to make a major wardrobe shift myself. Watch out for an auction of my “old” ties on this blog soon.
If you didn't keep your own Miami Vice black leather skinny tie, try:

This trend is awesome for fans of old james-bond-movies like me. No more feeling ashamed at work wearing a two-button suit and a black skinny tie. I would have needed the tie-link a few weeks ago when I was dressed as "Columbo" at the carnival in cologne ;-)
