Suits

Shoes and Socks. Ties & Pochette. Jeans. How to get the look: Outfit revivers - Features - Fashion. Yep, it's that miserable, indeterminate time of year again, when you're ready to inject some springtime novelty into your wardrobe but the weather isn't playing ball. Praise be, then, for the revivifying accessory. Ah yes, the mythical teeny tweak that transforms an outfit. Does that exist? Sure. Take a pair of jeans and a plain black sweater. So far, so vanilla. Add this floral necklace from Tory Burch and suddenly you have understated but unmistakable contemporary chic (£427, farfetch.com, pictured above).

Wow. Fair point. The Psychology Behind How Clothing Influences How People See You At Work. Agree, a pair of non-jeans and a collared shirt never killed anyone, or crushed their creative mojo. Anyone telling someone to "grow up" will immediately be put on their ignore list.

If it hurts your job prospects at the company, then it's a good sign to get out ASAP for someplace where the office culture is a little more respectful when giving fashion advice.

Oh, and by the way, I wear my jeans/t-shirts the same amount as I wear my khakis/dress shirts, twice for the pants once for the shirts, and I take a shower every day unless it's below 30 degrees and I haven't done anything that day.

Gentlemen, il y a quelques jours, j’ai été interviewé par téléphone par un journaliste du magazine GQ qui souhaitait recueillir mon témoignage sur l'évolution de l’élégance masculine en cours pour l’inclure dans un dossier du magazine intitulé « Les nouveaux snobs, comment se démarquer »… Sans déflorer le contenu de ce dossier (qui s’annonce plutôt intéressant) ainsi que la teneur de ma discussion avec le journaliste en question, vous pouvez d’ores et déjà vous imaginer ma réaction immédiate devant le titre et l’emploi de la notion de snobisme.

En effet, comparer la petite révolution de l'élégance masculine en cours à une forme de snobisme – une notion complexe qui décrit l’imitation servile des comportements à la mode dans la classe supérieure ainsi qu’une attitude de mépris à l’endroit des classes moyennes – me semble relever de la licence journalistique.
