The Tie, Makes a come back!

(CBS/Early Show) The latest breakout style in men's apparel is a trip back to the future.

It's -- the necktie.

For awhile, men were cutting ties with the necktie, and it slipped out of vogue.

But now, reports Seth Doane, it's hip to be retro.

Younger men, in particular, are taking to the growing trend, Doane says.

He observes that, while many politicians are going sans tie in an attempt to appeal to a younger audience, young men have been putting them back on. Ties are almost a cover-page uniform on magazine covers this week; they're on TV; and they're on the likes of J-T -- Justin Timberlake, among other celebs.

Says GQ Style Editor Adam Rapoport: "It's about attitude, it's about style, it's about flair. It's not about looking button-down."

David Beckham Armani ad


As seen on BestofBeckham.com
and BestofBeckham.com's blog

David Beckham has an open attitude. His latest ad for Giorgio Armani shows his maximum exposure in a number of ways. Many writers have asked the open question. Is this ad for real? Were there any additional props or air brushing techniques?


Armani said that David Beckham was chosen because he represented modern masculinity. He liked David because he was an icon; being a sports super star, husband and father, all rolled into one package.

David’s spokesman was asked if the image had been enhanced and he unknowingly gave a clue when he said, “No comment.”
