‘…there is a difference between being well-dressed and being stylish. When you read most clothing forums\/blogs, eventually you\u2019ll see the names of Agnelli, the Duke of Windsor and Cary Grant mentioned as great dressers. Yet, as all three of them were very different men, they all dressed very differently. The Duke wore many patterned suits\/sportcoats. He was a man that did not have a \u201cboss\u201d or anyone to answer to. There was no office to attend, no clients to see. Agnelli was an industrialist\/playboy. His clothing, while mostly solids, was worn with a panache (watch over the shirt, etc) befitting a jet setter such as himself. Grant, as a Hollywood star, wore a button-down collar, French cuff shirts with double breasted suits, a general \u201cgo to hell\u201d kind of look.<\/p>\n
What reactions would these gentlemen receive from today\u2019s clothing forums? Probably not a good one. The Duke would be seen as an overwrought Dandy. Agnelli would be thoroughly ridiculed for wearing the watch on top of his sleeve. Cary Grant would probably be tarred and feathered for wearing a button-down collar French cuff shirt with a double-breasted suit. I bring these three gentlemen up because they represent what I think is the best lesson in dressing that anyone can learn. Dress for who you are and for your situation. Agnelli would never wear what the Duke wore. The Duke would have renounced the throne if he had to wear a button down collar shirt with one of his DB\u2019s. In that same light, not everyone can or should wear the latest out of Pitti. Or the latest trend on the forums. Or dress from a book. Or dress like the Duke\/Agnelli\/Grant. That\u2019s not organic. You may be well dressed but you will not be stylish.’<\/p>\n
