The Wedding Ring

weddingring_crop.jpg

A style can mean a lot of different things, so we like to embrace simplicity where we can find it. Which is why we’re big fans of the wedding ring.

Today saw a little healthy debate on the question of married men going ringless in the workplace, but we’re skeptical. In particular, we’d like to call up this bit of timeless wisdom: squirming is not a good look. And if your job is anything other than metalworker or drug snitch, you’re not getting out of this one.

We’re not such big fans of jewelry in general—and we certainly don’t suggest getting hitched just for the accessories—but if that’s where you find yourself, it’s one of the simplest statements you can make: “I’m married.” If that’s too much of a mouthful, we’re not sure what to tell you.

Bad Idea

Love is Hell

Like all country-tinged bloggers, we have nothing but good things to say about the impending nuptials of singer/actress Mandy Moore and former Blackbook intern Ryan Adams, but we thought we’d take this opportunity to offer him some style advice, hopefully in time to keep the wedding pictures from being too embarrassing.

There’s a fine line between embracing your inner ’92 and just wearing a Kurt Cobain costume every day. And bleached hair is probably where you cross that line.
