But a question I want to ask folks in general: do you guys dress with optimality as your primary goal?
I'm not sure I do. I'm a huge fan of brown tie with blue anything--it's thr world's greatest color combination imo. But I often know that one item or another would be better than what I have currently selected, but if I want to wear that selected item or that particular combination, provided it looks good, I don't let the better option deter me. Is this a deficiency in my dressing philosophy?

I agree. You get to a point where you know what the best option is... yet you plump for something else. Just because you feel like it. The goal is to have enough nice pieces and enough options when it comes to matching / coherence / etc so you can do that and still look good.
Sometimes, one tries something different, only to confirm that the "optimal" combination is exactly that.
And then, there is always the "the right shirt is in the laundry hamper" . . .
As much as I am pleased that the quote was so well received,I would like to be remembered for my other postings as well, and equally, I am happy that the altercation has ceased.

Very elegant.
Sorry for the weird posing, don't know what that's all about:

If you want to look good: yes
