Ask the MB: Skinny Pants

Ask the MB: Skinny Pants
Q: What's your take on slim fit pants that hug the legs and ankles? Are they only acceptable on 150 pound male models?
--Todd

A: We have been consistently anti-skinny since this site launched almost two years ago. But it can work in certain situations, like the ones defined by our accompanying skinny pant flow chart. See if you qualify to wear this look.

(In case you don't have your BMI number off the top of your head, you can calculate it here.)

Negroni

The classic Negroni is simply equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. You can do better.

  • 5 parts Plymouth gin
  • 2 parts Campari
  • 1 part Pimm's No. 1 Cup
  • 1 part sweet vermouth
  • 1 part dry vermouth
  • 2 dashes of orange bitters

Quick shake or stir and pour into chilled Martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
