"The death of dressing accordingly isn't the end of civilization, but it is the end of courage--men being afraid to be caught in fancy clothes, or even a jacket." Tom Wolfe
"Now I'm an old guy, a retro fellow, maybe even stuffy. but dressing conscientiously is exalting the act of being alive. When you go out on the town, it's an act of celebration...that you're here." Gay Talese
Thoughts on dressing well from Jeeves and Wooster:"A gentleman does not wear a straw hat in the metropolis."
"I assumed it had got into your wardrobe by mistake, sir. Or else that it had been planted there by your enemies."
[Jeeves] lugged my purple socks out of the drawer as if he were a vegetarian fishing a caterpillar out of his salad. You could see that he was feeling it deeply.
