A headline in the deliciously gossipy UK newspaper Daily Mail caught Glamour Girl’s attention this morning:
“Rod Stewart blasts modern men who don’t dress up for dinner”
Music to GG’s ears.
It’s amazing to go out these days, whether it’s to dinner, the theater, or even opera, and see people dressed as if they’re ready to clean out the garage—or already have.
Is it really so difficult to make an effort? T-shirts and shorts is the best you can do? Or, for a really dressy American man, boring button-down-collar shirt and khakis. I mean, come on—are you a grown-up or not? You look like a prep-school adolescent.
Hey, look, plenty of women fall into the same doldrum category, but not as many as men. Stewart has it right:
“You go to dinner and see beautifully dressed women with men like tramps wearing trainers, jeans, and T-shirts.
If I were a woman I’d say, ‘Are you taking me out looking like that?’”
