Dearest Dakota: You gotta have e-sprezz. But seriously, look directly above where you are typing. To the left of the happy face. If you don't have any swanky options you need to change up your settings in your CP.

You really can tell a lot about a person by how they dress.

Like Carl pointed out, the whole contrast buttonhole, along with the undone cuff buttons, monograms everywhere, and hideous acid-trip lining reek of crapster&crap, or some mtm suit company started by a couple of pimple-faced college grads who've never sewn a tea cozy.

After you see how certain billionaires and aristocrats dress, you have a good laugh about this new generation "discovering" tailoring. It's fine if they're trying to have their own way with it, like beatles with their Tommy Nutter suits and beatle boots, but these people purposely try to emulate status garments and fail miserably.

It's everywhere as well. Every time I go to Switzerland it amazes me how terribly these 30-something watch co. CEOs dress with contrast buttonhole stitching on their shirts, along with 4 buttonholes a cuff.

As a student of history, this phenomenon (that of obnoxious dress, and that of people looking at the nouveau or in this case, the faux-nouveau with scorn) is nothing new of course.

I'm going to start doing them in yellow to eliminate this issue.

hmmmmm
I thought the point of button holes is so you can put button through it and button things up...

Who had bigs hands? He had bigs hands and was eating with a woman? A big-handed woman was eating with him? A man with big hands was eating with a woman who also had big hands?
Was it a typo and it should have been " A woman with big hands was eating a man" or "A man with big hands was eating a woman"? I can't sleep until I get to the truth!!!

If you think your clothes can make you like a billionaire or aristocrat - you are in for some real dissapointment.
