On ‘Mogul Style’ ⇥ theguardian.com

Derek Guy, for the Guardian:

The ruling class today is hardly inspiring in terms of taste. The preponderance of tech vests, which have replaced navy blazers, demonstrates that socio-economic class still drives dress practices, albeit with less appealing forms. The irony is that, while elites dress increasingly like the middle class preparing for a Whole Foods run, wealth inequality in the United States has mostly worsened every decade since the 1980s, the last era when men were still expected to wear tailored jackets.

Imagine being able to get all your clothes — heck, basically everything — made just for you, and choosing this costume.
