Gnatty please do not take this personally, I have just happened to use a pic of yours as an example. Gnatty I also happen to think your pics of your sportcoats, PS's, and bowties look really good.

What I would like to know is:-

Why is it considered stylish in America to

1. not hem one's trousers and roll them up,
and
2. wear shoes without socks when wearing a suit.

Yes, and oh what pictures they are - exhaustive in detail (they expand if clicked on), and of uniformly expensive articles of attire, if often not what I would have chosen given the same funding.
