As usual, the women attending the San Francisco Symphony last week were generally well dressed, and by that I mean most of them were wearing evening-appropriate clothing with a scarf or jacket that said they had dressed for the occasion. Not so most of the men, who with few exceptions had obviously changed their clothes, which unfortunately meant throwing a tan odd jacket over an open necked shirt and slipping on a pair of unpolished casual shoes.
It is the exceptions that I wish to praise, the men who made an effort to wear a dark suit or odd jacket and polished black shoes. Their clothing may or may not have been expensive, for that is not important. It was situationally appropriate and rewarded the glance of their neighbors.
Always make an effort to dress for the occasion. Those around you may not say so aloud, but they thank you for it.

Will, could you discuss Dr. Churchwell's clothing in the picture? Thanks.
He wears white tie and tails with a white pique waistcoat that is the proper length, meaning the points are not visible below the front of his jacket.
Your general displeasure with the abundance of slapdash dressing is well met. Such is life in the bay area. Dressing nicely, or even appropriately is the exception, not the rule.
(That most of the women were properly dressed actually surprises me.)
Milan is the pits, with all the clothes you could buy seeing the people dressed like Americans is really depressing. I mean if you are gonna wear Jeans and Nikes make sure you clean them ., as for the proverbial T.Shirt seen in Milan well I can only say they must have serious artistic vision.
Today I wore Oatmeal linen jacket, Stone Island Polo, White linen trousers and grey and blue bucks. The whole lot cost me around 250 dollars. Point being is that you dont have to pay to look really good. But Milan is really even worse than America.If Fashion means what you see on the street then this is the bottom of the bottle.
Iorrwill=My colleague is North American=she looks dirty and wears clothes that you wouldn't give to charity, she is the pits of the pits=nuff said?
The photos of Dr. Churchwell and his brother in general have been an inspiration to me throughout this blog. Surely they should be on the international best dressed list.
Milan has seen better days...
Rome has seen better days...
San Francisco, I don't get. The best weather for wearing all of it....
Chin up though, and wear your clothes well... they'll follow you
