I typically like to answer questions other SFers would think are obvious, but this is a little too obvious. Google it.

Balmorals are more formal than blutchers.

Plain toes are more formal than cap toes.

Go with what you like.

90 percent of the public don't even know the difference.

5 percent more know the difference but don't care (me!)

Leaving 5 percent (snooty SFers,) who will silently criticize you for your choice.

Are you dressing for yourself or 5 percent of the strangers out there who may disapprove?

The Park Ave is more formal than the Kenilworth.
