Lawro reminds me that wacky button colors are usually pretty terrible too.
I'm really not seeing Formby's use of complementary patterns that remain undisplayed on a dress shirt as contrast. I intended as doghouse states, the garish flash accent.
How have we forgotten the tie back blade, either deliberately displayed alongside the front, or actually hanging below the front.
Where is fxh to add the sockless dress oxford look?
Lastly, the youth look of untucked shirt sticking out below a jacket. Yeck.
Fake eyeglasses.
I've worn corrective lenses since I was a freshman in high school. One more damn thing I need to keep track of, keep clean and not break. I hate them and I'd give Worried Man's left nut to have 20/20 vision but some people go out and buy glasses with non-corrective lenses. Why? So they can look like a person with lousy eyesight?
What's next? Plastic surgery to make you look like you have Down's Syndrome?
What goes around... The big-glasses look was prevalent in the 1980s. Terrible then, terrible now.
Wearing only button down collar shirts with no regard to roll on collar. Refusing point blank to wear any other style of suit/coat other than a high break 3 button front even though your 200lbs over weight. Insisting on wearing a bit of cardboard with Rayon sew to the top in your coat breast pocket and then sticking a pin though the lot to keep it in place. Retro patterned acrylic polo tops. Knitted polyester ties. Any other polyester tie.
All of which is normally wore by middle aged men who insist that they are the coolest and best dressed blokes this side of 1966. Which is an annoying affection on its own.
Keep it coming.
Usually, when I am pointing out such things, FNB comes up and lectures me how great these details are "to get noticed".
Can I count "driving shoes" worn when not driving?
In general: dressing for a life that one does not live.
^ I doubt that Islington council would allow an employee to get away with that sort of behaviour. It certainly would not happen in the People's Republic of Haringey.
IT sales, "PR", IT support in Financial Services
The stupid young thing of an untucked shirt under a jacket, particularly when the shirt extends past the jacket.
^^So I'm not the only one here that reads Lew Rockwell's site.
Once I opened a news article from a Drudge Report link and started reading through the comments section. FNB's Patrick happened to have posted a (good) comment in there.
I guess it's a small world out on the internet.
