“Always underdress. The goal is not to look as if you made an effort for the particular event. If you can dress for a different party (i.e., wear black tie to a cocktail party, or tennis clothes for lunch), so much the better. You give the impression of being much in demand.” IfsGivingLooksMadeDifferentGoalBlackPartyEffortEventsParticularDemandClothesDressesImpressionTiesTennisLunchCocktailsCocktail PartiesBlack Tie Author:Lisa Birnbach

“We always need to have a smart black blazer in our closets. It's just a nice clean way to dress up even something as simple as jeans and a t-shirt.

“Nobody dressed like my dad. When he worked at the bank, he looked like Richard Gere in Gigolo. And he would do it all the night before, laying out the suit he'd wear the next day. Even on weekends, if he had to go into the office, he'd wear a trouser pant with a V-neck sweater and tie. And I was like, I want to dress like that!

“It has always been like that with changes. In 1913, we established divorce as a right for women in Uruguay. You know what they were saying back then? That families would dissolve. That it was the end of good manners and society. There has always been a conservative and traditional opinion out there that's afraid of change. When I was young and would go dancing at balls, we'd have to wear suits and ties. Otherwise they wouldn't let us in. I don't think anyone dresses up for dancing parties nowadays.” ThinkingKnowsEndsYoungPowerfulPartyOpinionBallsDressesDancingConservativeHumbleDivorceTraditionalSuitsMannersTiesGood ManPoorestGood MannersAfraid Of ChangeSuits And Ties Author:Jose Mujica

“A SWEET disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness : A lawn about the shoulders thrown Into a fine distraction : An erring lace which here and there Enthrals the crimson stomacher : A cuff neglectful, and thereby Ribbons to flow confusedly : A winning wave (deserving note) In the tempestuous petticoat : A careless shoe-string, in whose tie I see a wild civility : Do more bewitch me than when art Is too precise in every part.” ArtWinningSweetFineClothesArt IsFlowDressesNotesShoesWaveShouldersTiesThrownStringsDisorderDistractionPreciseHere And ThereCivilityCarelessDeservingLawnsKindlesLaceRibbonsCrimsonErringCuffs Author:Robert Herrick
