Pinstripes* like this either show you to be a gangster (think: Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls) or the newest member of the New York Yankees. Also note the young ballplayer’s awful tie and unkempt hair.
*Technically, chalk stripes.

Spoil Slick
The folks over at Gawker helpfully, if a bit uncreatively, coined a name for the hairstyle sported on the left by Donald Trump, Jr. Popularized in the 1980s by Gordon “Greed Is Good” Gekko, it’s called the “Wall Street.”

Oh, the Eau de Tom Ford
Just in time for the release of his new perfume, Black Orchid, former Gucci designer Tom Ford confessed that he does not wear deodorant*, saying he prefers his own “human smell.” He also apparently prefers that ten-foot clearance everyone gives him.
*Or underwear.

The Horror, The Horror
An untrimmed, pony-tailed Sean Connery in not much more than a bandolier and loincloth is a sight you can never unsee. Happy Halloween!

Raging Brow
Could Scorsese’s forehead caterpillars be a rare case where gray dye is actually needed?

Double Dutch
The New York Times calls the “transgressive” designs from ambiguous Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf “radical” and “chic.” But something about the pair’s appearance makes Izzy expect them at any moment to suddenly stop everything and declare, “Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dance!”

Clooneystan
George Clooney addressed the UN in attempt to solve the world’s problems via ridiculous handsomeness. That and perfect hair.

Fashion Bleak
It is Izzy’s imagination, or did Sean Lennon show up to New York Fashion Week looking like a disheveled ’80s banker who just emerged from hibernation?

Silver ‘Stache
Thanks to his new whiskers, Mark Harmon has fully made the transition from pretty boy to handsome man. (Note also how he color-coordinated his shirt and tie with his hair.)

Balled Head
Presumably both before and after getting this haircut this World Cup fan was kicked in the head.

Ken Don’t
Not to be outdone by Ralph Lauren’s bad example, Kenneth Cole here combines a soggy collar, gobs of hair mousse, and a tie knot far too tiny for his Frankensteinian head. He would appear to have chosen his wife well, however.

King Cannes
Y Tu Mama Tambien’s Gael Gabriel Bernal rocks the Cannes film festival in a super slim (Thom Browne?) jacket and splayed extra-long skinny tie.
Izzy’s one complaint is the stringy, frizzy hair.
