1) Always match your pocket square to your underwear
2) You need at least two shoes and it's better when they match and one is left the other right
3) When the wise man points at the moon the idiot looks at the finger

Just read a lot of the information here and try to sift out the crap and keep the good. For starters, most of this thread thus far is crap.

My post was completely earnest. And helpful, I might add.

(Actually, crap-sifting is perhaps the most important skill to master, apart from shoe shining. Ultimately, you want an outfit that 'goes together' and 'works' ... fit, textutre, proportion, colour, all that good stuff. Sure, rules are made to be broken, but you can't break rules with success until you have mastered them. Oh, and leave the bottom button undone.)
