Best Dressed Statesman

[Phileas Fogg]

Brand over style. He famously wore a burgundy suit in college to match his car, when taking Candice Bergen out.

He nailed Candice Bergen?

I think he took her to dinner.

I think he took her to dinner.

I can never keep up with the slang these days.

She talked about it later. Not impressed enough to do more than that, I gather.

I bet he used his Charlie McCarthy voice when he was banging her.

I thought that this is the Best Dressed "Statesman" thread.

The bar, it is low.

If we cut out every elected moron, this would be a very short thread.

I typically find that 3rd world dictators were always dressed well.

DB and bow ties! News to me.

My grandfather always wore bow ties, no matter what the suit. He's the reason I can pull off mine half-decently.

No-- they're all fine. FDR made a nice showing. But I didn't know that Dinkins was into that.

I’m not a bow tie person except for black tie but I think Dinkins has cool style

Oh yeah sure, I meant that some people do it as a signature thing.

I've never tried one with DB, though.

Works well, I think. You just have to make sure that nobody thinks you're doing it in lieu of black tie. So a lighter-colored suit, or a festive bow tie. Striped shirt, etc.
