☆ Solo passenger says it was 'downright humiliating' to give up his emergency row seat so a couple could sit together

Todd Plummer wrote for Condé Nast Traveler about having to give up his exit-row seat. The agent said it was double booked, and another passenger was traveling with a woman sat across the aisle. AdvertisementA Turkish Airlines passenger said he felt humiliated after giving up his exit-row seat so a couple could sit next to each other. Writing for Condé Nast Traveler, Todd Plummer said he was "delighted" to be assigned the seat with extra legroom, especially given he's 6 feet 2 inches tall. "Something about publicly singling me out as a solo traveler who should move to an inferior seat was disappointing, irritating, and downright humiliating," he wrote.

☆ Winter Sweater Showdown: Why Cotton Rivals Cashmere This Season
  + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
A SHEEP IN COTTON CLOTHING: OK, this illustration actually shows a cashmere goat, but he’s comfortably clad in a cotton crewneck. She replaced her namesake line’s merino-wool-blend sweaters with cotton knits, which she now sells year-round—even in winter. The 100% cotton styles range from a cold-weather cable-knit turtleneck to a four-seasons-friendly striped option. “And nobody has said, ‘I miss the merino.’”Most people view cotton sweaters, unfairly, as summer-only options. But if you pick the right ones, cotton knits can hold their own in cooler months.

☆ Massaging Balls, Plunge Pools, Memory Foam Dog Beds: Who Needs All This ‘Recovery’ Gear?

IF IT SEEMS like you can’t open Instagram without seeing videos of people taking cold plunge baths or rolling their quads with medieval-looking, deep-tissue devices, it’s because “recovery” has gone mainstream. These devices, designed for and once exclusively marketed to high-performance athletes, are now being pitched as necessary tools for inconsistent weight lifters, 5K runners, the unserious pickleballer, and even pet dogs who can barely be bothered to play fetch. “We’re now trying to reach the weekend warriors that play their favorite sports from high school…and are still sore until Tuesday,” said Jason Wersland, founder of Therabody, which makes a range of wellness gadgets like the Theragun percussive massage gun.

☆ What Does Your iPhone Color Say About You? Red Is for Attention-Seekers and 5 More Insights from a Color Theorist

BY EVERY MEASURE, phones are extensions of us. We use them to shop, bank, find new music and make calls. And now, like children selecting backpacks for the first day of school, we’ve started to become particular about their hue. For companies like Apple , which recently added lemon yellow to its iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus lineups, this is a mission accomplished.
☆ Can I Wear Jeans and a White T-Shirt to Work? Plus 8 More Burning Questions On the Classic Men’s Outfit
  + stars: | 2023-04-15 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
1. Who originated the look? Pinning down the outfit’s genesis is near-impossible, said Chloe Chapin, who’s writing a dissertation on fashion history at Harvard. Late-19th-century coal miners sported early versions of denim dungarees—the progenitors to jeans—noted Ms. Chapin, while white T-shirts rose to prominence when the U.S. Navy began issuing them to sailors around 1913. One thing’s indisputable, said Ms. Chapin: The look began as workwear. “Bluejeans and white T-shirts are…very cheap, accessible to everyone—they were worn by dockworkers and mechanics.”The style, which has cycled in and out of popularity over the decades, has often radiated bad-boy vibes.
☆ The Bomber Jacket Is Now Sleek, Sophisticated and…Almost Formal?

SUEDE AND SWEATS Former soccer star David Beckham’s handsome jacket elevates a sporty look in October. FOR A RECENT dressy work dinner with his company’s leadership team in Wayne, N.J., Cameron Birch took a style detour. Instead of defaulting to a tie and sport coat like his colleagues, the medical-device strategist, 34, reached for his emerald-green Club Monaco bomber jacket. This bomber aligns with his post-lockdown mood: These days he hankers for clothes that are “simple, clean, versatile and as comfortable as athleisure—but more dressed up.”A dressy bomber? Though this style of aviator jacket has typically skewed casual and utilitarian, it has lately been reborn as a sophisticate.

WHEN LUKE VACHON attended a formal wedding in Hudson, N.Y., a few months ago, he jilted the blah black tux. Instead of wearing a predictable 007-style ensemble like most male guests, the Montreal marketing director, 32, shrugged a relaxed-fit, desert-brown suit over a black linen polo. “It wasn’t my wedding, it wasn’t my moment, but I wanted to be a little different without making a scene,” he said. If you’ve attended a dressy event lately, chances are you’ve spotted guys like Mr. Vachon, who are challenging the tedium of formal attire without going OTT. But starved of dress-up opportunities during Covid, and uninspired by before-times conformity, more guys are thinking outside the tux.
☆ How Much Should Your Clothes Cost?
  + stars: | 2023-01-14 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WITH INFLATION at record highs and a possible recession looming, shoppers are scrutinizing clothing price-tags hard right now. Few will welcome what they’re about to see, said Margaret Bishop, a supply-chain expert who teaches at three top fashion schools in New York. “The cost of raw materials, labor and transport, and logistics have all risen…and I don’t see how we could avoid higher retail prices in 2023,” she said. If you want quiet, well-made items that will last—and you don’t require a hyped brand name or luxury logo, both of which hike up prices—how much should you expect to shell out? Here, we do the math for four wardrobe staples.
☆ 5 Reasons to Try Turtlenecks

Turtlenecks have a PR problem among men. Too many guys put them firmly in the “not for me” category, thinking them overly constricting, pretentious or artsy. We’ve decided to assume the role of the turtleneck’s publicist. Because the thing is, this casual but tidy sweater is an easy option in countless settings.
☆ You’re Layering Your Clothes Wrong. Here’s What to Do Instead.
  + stars: | 2022-12-27 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WHEN NEW YORK CITY comedian Jared Freid appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” this fall, he recounted that, back in college, he and his friends would layer on several colorful polo shirts, collars popped—a fashion choice that left Mr. Freid resembling what he ruefully called “an aggressive tulip.”When it comes to layering clothing—that stylist-approved way to keep warm come winter and spruce up the separates in your wardrobe by combining them in fresh ways—it’s easy to mess up even if you’ve never been a noughties frat boy. Done thoughtlessly, it can leave you looking like Joey in the “Friends” episode when he dons every single article of clothing that Chandler owns. Here, five common problems that inept layerers run into—and what to do instead.

TURTLENECKS HAVE A PR PROBLEM among men. Too many guys put them firmly in the “not for me” category, thinking them overly constricting, pretentious or artsy. The chin-grazing knit’s reputation suffered a further blow this fall, when French finance minister Bruno Le Maire seemingly declared a plan to reduce winter heating bills by wearing turtlenecks—and was widely mocked. “Let them wear cashmere!”Putting French politics aside, we’ve decided to assume the role of the turtleneck’s publicist. And turtlenecks have poked their heads into every fashion category this winter, from luxe (the Row) to sporty (Uniqlo Heattech).
☆ Are Clothes Ever a Good Gift? A Timely Debate

For the recurring series, That’s Debatable, we take on a contentious issue of the day and present two spirited arguments—one in favor and the other emphatically opposed. THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, you might be tempted to purchase some hot new threads for your nearest and dearest (perhaps they love fashion; perhaps their fashion needs love). But is it ever really a good idea to gift garments? Some folks relish fashion presents, while others see clothes as so personal they can never be successfully bought by another. Here, two fashionistas with opposing perspectives duke it out.
☆ Why Ted Lasso’s Mustache—Bushy and Dependable—Is Trending
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
IN SEPTEMBER, Jason Sudeikis accepted the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance in “Ted Lasso,” the Apple TV+ streamer. In what we consider an oversight, however, his mustache was not awarded its own statuette for best supporting role. This enviably thick, above-the-lip thatch is the defining physical trait of Ted Lasso, the lovable Midwestern football coach fumbling his way through the hurly-burly world of British soccer. And it perfectly matches Mr. Lasso’s character: The coach has become a poster boy for nice guys, thanks to an irrepressibly sunny disposition, and his is the golden retriever of ’staches. Thick yet tidy, it helps Mr. Lasso convey affability, vulnerability and humor, said Deborah Nadoolman Landis, founding director of the David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design at UCLA.
