Does anyone else like to dress in an understated manner. I always buy lots of RTW shirts with fancy Jermyn St patterns but these end up getting the least wear, and I always end up with my trusty plain favourites.

Think:
- white/blue bengal stripe shirts
- silver cufflinks
- grey flannel trousers
- dark brown crocodile skin belt
- dark brown leather shoes
- beige mac coat
- leather brown briefcase
- foppish hair
- fit body and handsome face (essential)

*Edit: The key to this look is that everything must be of the highest quality and fit extremely well. Otherwise the look is not understated -- just "boring".

All good, except the croc belt. Maybe I'm just not a fan of croc.
