I’ve been watching some videos on the history of fashion. The author of the series wonders for the future and our inane desire to seek “likes” more than creativity. Dressing once was part of the fun and means to amuse ourselves, now our phones provide that amusement.

Anyway, we now commonly dress our house pets. I wonder how we will dress our androids.

I am still shallow enough to enjoy clothes.

For comfy and smart, these are my Mary Janes by Clarks.

Clarks do a lot of Mary Janes. Well worth a look.

A quality suit or tuxedo can really make a man look good. But the "suit" really hasn't changed all that much in the past 200-years. (In my opinion, men should not wear sandals.)

Women's fashion is at least one place I enjoy diversity.

Better still if a waistcoat is involved...

With you on the sandals, if it is while wearing a suit.

Oddly enough there is something sexy about guys in smart suits and plimsols.

Nope. I don't understand why either. But am I alone in that?

I have never worn them like that but I do think it works for some retro outfits. More woman than men though.
