    Suits are out for professionals?

    Many of the people here are going to hate this, but apparently this counts as appropriate work attire in New York http://nymag.com/fashion/lookbook/41274/

    Suits are out for professionals?

    I give it one year for these relaxed dress codes to fade away. With the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the buyout of Merill Lynch by Bank of America, and now Morgan Stanley is in trouble, the higher chance of cutbacks and recession means anyone with half a brain will dress more professionally to...

    What are you wearing today??

    It's a quarter to 11, and I'm still in my pyjamas and dressing gown. No working for me this week, enjoying the life of leisure for now!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    We have a local butcher, grocer, chemist, general shops, bakers and cobblers just up the road from here, bearing in mind that this is the middle of london! Most of them are independently owned as well!

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    I meant having a decorative one on the breast, functional in the trouser pocket But judging by the other comments here, I'm not alone!

    Casablanca 'style' white Tuxedo / Dinner Jacket

    I do seem to recall it being very fashionable in the 1920s/1930s to wear one dark red part of the ensemble, either cummerbund, bow tie or pocket square (but never have all matching! Only one in maroon) Very sharp looking in those pics! Umbrella looks a bit short for you though

    Casablanca 'style' white Tuxedo / Dinner Jacket

    Hmm, is that a black waistcoat with a white dj? The only appropriate waist covering in that case is a black cummerbund!

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    Am I the only one who keeps a cotton handkerchief in a pocket for blowing my nose or wiping away sweat?

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    I use the presidential, just fold it in half twice and it's done-the clear, straight line. I sometimes use the puff, where it's just shoved in, or the 1 point fold it in half diagonally, then fold in at the sides with just one point out, ina sort of trapezium shape

    Suits are out for professionals?

    By lounging around in a suit, I didn't mean lying on the sofa watching the telly all day, I meant general life, reading the paper, nipping to the shops, maybe watching some television. To be honst, I almost never spend a whole day indoors, as I;m normally at work or whaever, or if its a weekend...

    Suits are out for professionals?

    Personally I always dressed up for work. As I'm going to uni in a week, my contract in finance ended yesterday. As I was leaving, a Director stopped me and asked me who I was.I told him I was leaving, and he actually offered me a mid-level job purely based on my appearence! Blue suit, white...

    who belongs to a Lodge

    There is a mason lodge at my old school. Funnily enough, all the governers are masons, and we received kind visits from the Duke of York, Duke of Edinburgh, both masons. I'm sure it was entirely coincidental though

    School songs

    On many a well remembered field, have Owen's fought and won, At times we lose, but never yield, before the day is done And as the years roll on and on, And players bid goodbye, Their comrades still in spirit don, the mantle they've cast by. Then strive with a will Owenians! Success...

    You Walk Wrong

    My heels always wear out on the outside of the heel, does that mean I have a high arch?

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    I was hoping I could bring out the trenchcoat and hat again, but it's still too hot. Plus the Tube is always around 40 degrees, regardless of any outside weather. Gosh, I do miss getting the trains instead of the tube.

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    Wait a minute, there's a season called summer? What is this "summer"? All we have here is 5 months of rain, followed by 4 months of more rain, and then another 3 months of rain. Lot of angry people in the UK. "We won't go abroad because a) the economy is bad and b)it's bad for the climate...

    Wearing jacket cuff buttons undone

    Again, without central heating that may not be something the surgeon would wish to do in the middle of winter
