Reader, I must confess, I view the world through the prism of sartorial obsessions which is why, given the current economic climate, I think it's time for the guys to hang up the Dockers, the sockless loafers, the two-button golf shirts and shop de closet where they will hopefully find a navy wool blazer, a smartly-tailored chalk stripe suit and an array of button down shirts and paisley and striped ties. This "uniform" will serve them well in the months ahead when showing up for work looking smart and polished and business-like is just the ticket to survival.
As for the ladies'...those of you who thought a pair of killer jeans, Jimmy Choo high-heeled boots and a bomber jacket was all you needed to compete, guess what? I do believe you'll find lurking somewhere a smart black pant suit, a couple of crisp white shirts, a pair of highly-polished loafers and a beautiful gabardine overcoat that will reinforce your remarkable work ethic and professional aspirations.
Epochs ago, when the heir and the spare tried to pull one over Third Paragraph and wear shorts to school, words were exchanged. And using the hegemony of my position, Viscounts A. and J. were sent back to their turrets and returned to the breakfast table in long pants. "When you wear shorts, you're telling your teachers you'd rather be at the beach."
Fast forward: The beach days are done. It's time to get back to looking like you're ready to put in a hard day of work. (Sorry.)
