The same can be said of the companion. That is a dress that has to fit perfectly or it will be a disaster.

I think dress pants are a BIG step above khakis, in terms of the generic "Home Depot Dad" lookOriginally Posted by Reevolving
In the office, this is the winner. I was in a room recently, and 6 of 7 men were dressed like this. It was incredible to behold.
On the weekend, I think it's the Khaki shorts & Polo short sleeve.
The question remains, which color Polo shirt is the "winner"?
Reminds me of Walmart...

And the drape from buttock to calf is a straight line so basically all you see are stumps for legs.Originally Posted by sho'nuff
I don't understand the complaint. Straight-line drape is the hallmark of good trouser fit, hipsters to the contrary.

Wow, she does look great. The guy looks good too IMO, although I hate the big logo. Agree wtih the comments about fit - even the most generic clothes can look pretty good if they fit well.

To refine the question a bit: in what color is the polo most generic?
maroon?
royal blue?
navy?
hunter green?
(and i'm not saying these are BAD colors ...)
edit: by the way (and perhaps Vox can appreciate this, if he ever flies commercial airlines), when changing planes at an airport, i can sense that I've found the connecting flight to Boston by the preponderance of maroon, navy, and hunter green.
