Why is Harry Windsor dressed so atrociously now?

The issue was whether we could make a negative value judgment about a person we have never met. Fortunately, we all seem to agree that this is possible.

Yes, but negative judgments don't necessarily have to mean using invectives.

Anyway, not that interesting of a convo or debate, so this is my last comment on the matter. Like others, I'm confused by why anyone cares about the royal family, I suppose because I didn't grow up in such a culture. This forum used to be filled with many interesting discussions about clothes, and this thread seems like it will be another in a pile of long, drawn-out, and dumb debates.

That's what we are all doing. Some of us are not hypocrites though.

I think you are being dense. I didn't get up today and say to myself, "you know what would be fun? picking on Piers Morgan" and nor did I say that "oh, I see people are picking on Piers Morgan. Let me pile on." A piece of information was put forward to me and I responded to it by questioning the veracity of the person who put that piece of information forward.

Also, to be clear, I am not saying that you can't judge people you don't know. I am saying that doing this for its own sake is dumb, pointless, and often mean. I also think that in this particular case there is not much reliable to go off of.

If you want to continue being angry at the world, though, by all means...

Exactly...
I'd like to start.
Does anyone have side be side shots of Kate and Meghan's feet?

Exactly. I never approved of Hitler.

There is a question of whether she did actually choose the life. Choosing a life implies knowing what that life is. I am not sure she knew what she was getting herself into. I don't really think most of us choose our lives, though we do exercise control of them and can sometimes correct when we make bad decisions. Life involves creatively responding to the situation you are in. I think Harry and Meghan are trying to do just that. Neither of them fully chose their lives, but they are trying to exercise control over their lives. You can say they have made bad decisions and that is fine, but I'd ask that you try not to assume the worst in people.

you’re right of course. I have no idea of knowing what is in their hearts of minds.
My comments are based purely on their observed behavior.

Harry may not have chosen the life, but his bride surely did.

I’m not ******** on them nor am I defending them. I’m quite indifferent to the ongoing drama of the royals. In light of last years events, they seem even more irrelevant.

The young princes dress like crap though.

You've never been with someone so enthralling that you're completely willing to gut the rest of your life just to be with them?

No, honestly.

... then made the mistake of posting here.

At SF you aren't a success if you don't cause a stir.

Good to see you ... it has been too long.

What's going on here?

He's not dressed to SF standards, that's what's going on. But seeing as how he lives in SoCal ... we may have him sockless before too long. ;-)

As to personality flaws, and whether Britain should keep or abandon the monarchy ... I'm not going there. This is not CE.

But those socks? Maybe it's a European thing but that looks really like he's going out of his way to pretend to be joe sixpack, which I find jarring (for context: in Italy nobody with a socioeconomic status of lower middle class or higher would remotely consider wearing short socks, let alone with a suit).

I am sure there are also badly dressed people in italy. What's wrong with him dressing more approachable and less royal? I am sure most people will find that nice and more inclusive. You sound like the butler carson in Downton Abbbey that won't accept electricity and TV.

I don't think socks of normal length would make him look less approachable.

Why thank you, and likewise.

I suppose it's the pandemic that's bringing me back to this place, as I've not been able to see my tailor for over a year (which reminds me that I have a jacket in @dieworkwear Summer Tweed in the works since before Covid -- and here I am talking to him as well. Funny little place.)

Sockless is perfectly fine by me, but then I am Italian, or at least my passport says as much.

Semi-seriously: sockless insouciance could be apt for him, but he should leave the short socks to small town real estate agents. He reminds me of Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson's affectations, and I just didn't think Harry was so much of a snob.

That's what got me back here on a more regular basis.

Agree.

I wonder if he was aware they would show as short socks. I don't typically look for photos of "the royals" ... but the few I do see don't typically show him that relaxed ... leaning back with legs crossed ... trousers riding up ... offering an easy view up his trouser leg.

Personally I'd wear otc socks ... or no socks with a warm season "casual" suit. Of course, it's only early March.
