Looks like Esquire never criticized Obama for his “Mom jeans” look.

But they did gush over his sunglasses, in a column entitled You Too Can Have Sunglasses Like President Obama’s

Yes, the next eight years are going to be very interesting.

Today Donald Trump and his VP-elect Mike Pence flew to Indiana to visit the Carrier air conditioning and heating company. While exiting a plane, the two encountered what appears to be a gale force wind. (Well, it does for Trump. Pence looks as calm as a summer’s day).

Aside from giving his coat a serious Darth Vader vibe, the wind also blew Trump’s tie (and comb-over) wildly out of place, revealing the trick that has allowed him to continually commit one of his most annoying sins—sartorially speaking. If you look closely at the back of the tie, you can see that there two pieces of tape attached to it.

Why on earth does a grown man and the President-elect of the United States have tape on the back of his tie, you ask? Well, because he insists on tying said neckwear in a manner that leaves it hanging at an absurd length, several inches beyond the waistline of his trousers (where it should actually stop)….

Another potential tape purpose? It could be double-sided, and Trump could be using it to stick the back of the tie to his shirt. (This would explain why there are two pieces instead of just one.) And why the hell would he do that, you ask again? Because he needs something to hold it in place….

    Another Hearst Corp. magazine.
    One thing that Esquire had been famous for was an annual issue with Dubious Achievement Awards. Discontinued in 2008. Interesting timing there.

    In 1943, FDR’s Postmaster General brought charges against Esquire for using the postal system to distribute lewd images. Republicans opposed the charges. And in 1946, the Supreme Court found for Esquire on 1st Amendment grounds.

      In Sept., Hearst Corp. made former Cosmo editor, Joanna Coles, UK, its first chief content officer, for all Hearst publications. May have something to do with current Hearst articles.

    This doesn’t even read like an adult critique of fashion. The spite and animosity is overwhelming. The author should hang out with friends, watch a movie or something normal. Too much time spent on hate and not enough time living life. Sad.

    Really? Expecting convention from an unconventional guy? What a bunch of pinstripes. I think it’s amusing. A multi-gazillionaire with his own retail tie line taping his own together. I can’t wait til’ January 20th.

    Man the scrutiny. Yikes. Regular guy. Forgot his tie clip? Looks better on T.V. without one?
