cravats and scarves

the greatness of a properly worn cravatte is that they totally set you apart from an office wallah in the city.Look at gatsby for instance.Dick Powell is pictured here wearing a stylish light-colored wool coat with a silk cravat or foulard. The cravat unfortunately became associated with male affectation although it's a simple and elegant way to add style to either casual or semi-formal dress. Dick Powell  was a song and dance man that could also play the film-noir detective. He was like the equally dapper James Cagney, who could play hoofer or tough guy.
