If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and
show them my suits.

Oscar Wilde:
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that
we have to alter it every six months"

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin,
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

-ZZ Top, arbiters of fashion and facial hair....

I knew I should have copyrighted that line. lol

Actually, it's:

A gentleman should always be dressed as though he'll end up in a place far more interesting than the one he just left.

"The making of one's life into art is, after all, the first duty and privilege of every man." — Arthur Symons

 

[JamesT1]

"When unpleasant sort of things happened and I felt crushed, I put on all my best clothes and went out. It brought back my vanishing self-esteem. In a glossy new hat and a pair of trousers with a fold down the front (carefully preserved by keeping them under the bed--I don't mean on the floor, you know, but between the bed and the mattress), I felt I was somebody and that there were other washerwomen: ay, and even other girls to love, and who would perhaps appreciate a clever, good-looking young fellow. I didn't care; that was my reckless way. I would make love to other maidens. I felt that in those clothes I could do it." -Jerome K. Jerome

 

[Hemingway Jones]
