Are we Metrosexuals?

Dave,

I think I can understand your point of view in terms of those that flash name brand clothing about, then dress becomes a sort of economic (though vulgar) display.

There is so much informality and inappropriateness allowed nowadays in apparel. I sometimes about those that disdain the well dressed.

Could it be that the well dressed / appropriately dressed ladies and gentleman act as a mirror to show how poorly turned out these people are?

Who mocks manners save those that lack them?

Who mocks quality save those who don't possess it?

Could it be that those boldly stating that they don't find any importance to how an individual presents them self is because they do it so poorly?

Cleanliness, grooming, attire, neatness, posture, manners, diction, self confidence all reflect well on the individual who possesses them. They are facets that make a gentleman or lady sparkle a bit brighter.

An uncut diamond has strength, but the cut and polished ones shine bright as well.

Cheers

I think we're discussing parallel sides of the same point of view Jamie.

To put it simply:
A gentleman dresses to show himself the best way he can.
A snob dresses to show himself as better than others.
