Preppy with a Twist

...or something. The kids and I dressed for a "cook out" at a friends house. Being able to wear a bow tie with shorts is a positive side effect of the "neo-prep" revival. I'll take it.

    I like a bow tie with shorts, but it is still a difficult look to pull off without looking foolish. I think you did it well. Great photo with your children!

    Second last refuge of a scoundrel, being photographed with your children.

    Hey, it's not a look you can pull off daily, but for "every so often" it's killer. Great "daddy" shot, too.

    Thanks for calling it a "cook-out" and not a barbeque.

    I'll be sure to tell that to my wife any time we do anything as a family.

    Big difference between a "cookout" and a barbecue. I'm guessing you're from the South

    Jack,

    I think twice per Summer is probably acceptable, and only for parties

    It blows my mind that a guy in a bowtie, with a beautiful little girl, dressed like a little lady, and a lad dressed like a preppy Travis Bickle can get anything other than thumbs up all round.

    I love that you've infected your kids with the joy of dressing for the sheer hell of it.

    Great stuff.

    The bow tie goes great with the Mohawk.

    Bow ties are way too republican for me to wear.

    Aratnam,

    Around here, bow ties tend to be favored by the rumpled bleeding heart liberal set, but then again, I do live in Massachusetts.
