(Gentleman: A Timeless Fashion
Q: What is the biggest mistake you see men making today as regards clothing and/or grooming?
A: It has always been seen as a mistake if a 40-year-old man tries to dress like a twenty something. I notice today that many men of 40 dress like 8 or 12 year olds. When I bring my seven-year-old daughter to school, I’m the only man who doesn’t wear sneakers, baseball cap and sweat shirt. I never wear suit and tie at that time of the day but even in a v-neck, corduroy, brogues and a raincoat I look like an alien. I think it is not good for children if their parents and all other grown ups dress like themselves (ed: I believe he means “like children”). The worst mistake in grooming is to shave one’s eyebrows in the shape of a fine line.
