Vote Stylishly


The American presidential elections are November 4. Whatever one may think of one or both candidates, it's important to participate.

A Suitable Wardrobe asks only that readers set a good example at their polling place, like the gentlemen in the illustration. A temperature around fifty (10 C) calls for a light topcoat over a suit, and neither a hat nor a silk scarf would be out of place.

Vote. And do it stylishly.

The sad thing is that what we'll actually see is voters (for both parties) in baseball caps, polyester tracksuits, etc., giving a strange look to anybody who thinks that voting in a presidential election is a serious matter deserving a tie and jacket.

It will just serve to remind us that whoever wins, he will have been elected by people who dress the same when they go to cast their vote for President or attend a rodeo, the state fair, or whatever...

Will,

What would you suggest is the proper attire for those of us who live in states with mail-in ballots?

You still have to take the ballot to the post office don't you? Standards must be maintained.
