Question
I have a pretty big widow's peak in my hairline and it makes my hair look weird when I try to part it on the side. Can you suggest a haircut for this condition or a way to cope with my Eddie Munster hair?

Answer

This one's easy. No need to 'cope,' with that fateful crowning point, embrace it—you'll be a better man because of it. But when your hair works against you, I say get rid of it. Buy yourself a pair of old-school clippers, click on a number 3 guard and buzz away. Think of Thom Browne, he's got a bit of a widow's peak and by keeping his 'do close and cropped, he's one of the most handsome guys in the game. Just think about all the money you'll save on haircuts.

Where can I find a tuxedo for under $500 in a style that will last a few years? Also, can I forgo patent leather shoes with a tux?
