[quote=briansd1]Open toe shoes are not appropriate wear most of the time.
I think that I’m a dress code elitist. I’m not a fan of sloppy wear or the just-got-out-of-bed look.[/quote]
Brian: Whaaaaaat? No cuffs. No pleats. No bracer buttons. Dude, c’mon! You’re running around in “incomplete” trousers and claiming elitism? Let’s get you into proper attire and THEN you can claim elitism. Photograph yourself in a Savile Row bespoke suit and then you can be elitist to your heart’s content.
I’ve got professional friends in the banking and finance industry that consider uncuffed flat front pants (they won’t call them “trousers”) with a belt completely gauche.
It’s all a matter of perspective and locale (San Diego isn’t really known as being the height of fashion.)
Of course, I only put on a suit when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it’s shorts, running shoes and a polo shirt. We do live in SoCal for a reason.
