I admit it.
I’m a sucker for the 1940’s Hollywood glamour look.
I love the seductive wavy hair women like Veronica Lake used to wear.
And, there’s something super cool and nostalgic about the men’s ascot (shown here worn by Cary Grant).
Tonight, we are going to an awesome charity event for the fine folks of Feeding America. The Sunset Soirée is generously underwritten by the Meyer Family. 100% of the proceeds benefit Feeding America San Diego to create a hunger-free and healthy San Diego. The event is hosted by Larry King, with a special intimate performance by Sheryl Crowe.
Since the fundraiser is on the beach, I’m ditching the tie and going to try the almight ascot – Cary Grant style. I chose a blue suit, a Hammer Made white shirt, white pocket square, and a 60’s psychedelic ascot just to mix things up.
Why Ascot’s are Cool
1. No one else wears them.
2. They don’t choke you like a tie – better to breathe.
3. Lots of different styles to pick from.
4. Slightly nostalgic without getting weird.
5. Exudes a certain level of coolness – no matter who’s wearing it.

“Tuxing it Up” for the event
After my morning workout today, I walked by TalentHouse – a nifty incubator space in downtown Palo Alto. It had a vibe that made me feel like I’d want to work there:
I’m also guessing that there are wicked-smart peeps in there working on cool things.
It got me thinking that work surroundings are important to attracting good talent. It’s not the only thing – probably not one of the top 3 – but given the choice to work in a dark, dingy, run down office vs. a clean office that looks like someone gives a shit, the latter is going to win.
