barack obama in skinny ties

some asshole from details magazine said skinny ties are done.
but that a-hole is wrong period.
my personal rule of thumb is, never wear anything skinnier than one and a quarter inches cuz you're not wearing shoe laces on your neck.

but seriously, what's the deal? i haven't seen any photos of obama wearing skinny ties. michelle needs to tell him to wear skinny black ties occasionally. maybe not official events so he doesn't freak out the older white folks he's been unable to reach out to lately.

but if he were in one of the major cities, he should really go with the skinny black suit + white dress shirt + skinny tie + ankle-showing pants + laced-up shoes. he'd definitely win the hearts of all the yuppies and the hipsters - or, in my case, yupsters - without a doubt!

i apologize in advance for more of my bad photoshop work after the jump
