I've posted this before, but this is quintessentially sharp dressing for me:

It's from the cover of the John Adams CD of "Dharma at Big Sur" and "My father knew Charles Ives"

Shopping at Men's Wearhouse will definitely get you noticed but in the Brummellian sense no individual item on a well dressed man should stand out. Yes, a man may draw attention because he is wearing a suit, but if eyes are drawn to your Kiton windowpane it's too loud.

Getting paid 20 million NOT to coach -- now that's sharp!

Went to lunch with my dad about a month ago, and he wore a seersucker BD shirt without the buttons done up. Trust me, that was flat-out oversight ...

But what about boutonnieres and such?
