Dressing poorly > Dandyism

Post by BigRob » Sun Mar 09, 2014 4:27 pm

NY biglaw uniform for too many men: Wrinkled baggy dress shirt, top button unbuttoned, rumpled white crew neck undershirt poking out. (Possibly sleeves rolled up, but if so, done incorrectly.) Black corrected grain leather belt which is necessary to keep oversized pants up. Black, square-toe, rubber-soled, corrected grain leather derby shoes.

Bad, and inexcusably so for people who make so much money. But still, better than the fops who wear brightly colored pants and bowties.

FTFY. Some of us have super-high arches and require derby shoes to survive. Those Dockers slip-ons drive me crazy, though.
