Today one sees a sea of jeans, t-shirts, sneakers and baseball caps, as well as nondescript black suits with white shirts, no necktie and clodhopper shoes. Herrera was right.

I agree with you. The one fellow blew it with the silver tipped belt. The ring with a stone is questionable too. The other thing that annoys me about how people are turned out is the lack of gloves, especially as the weather drops. And with everyone concerned about flu and germs, wouldn't gloves afford some protection? Also, the lack of head covering on men in cool weather. Nothing looks as pathetic as a mature man with thinning hair being blown about in winter. A Persian lamb wedge, or one in mouton will add great distinction, not to mention height. The fellow on the Sartorialist looks very elegant. The width of lapels is perfect. I find that the currently promoted narrow lapels give the effect of a jacket that is the wrong size, too small, almost a Herman Munster-ish effect. I like them slightly generous but not wing-like. Ditto for mid width ties; somehow they always look right and proportionate. Very much enjoyed this post. Square with Flair An interesting point of discussion…. I agree with you.
