Several Manhattan retailers are foisting the above "business" suits on the fashion conscious world. Some years ago when I was doing business in New York City I had the nerve to wear a stiff straw hat (skimmer) after May 15th but I would never dream of baring my dimpled kneecaps to the public. I doubt that this trend will sell in Peoria and perhaps not even west of the Hamptons. JFK killed the dress hat, Ahmadinejad buried the cravat and now J. Crew & Barneys want to defrock the sock. What would Andy Rooney say?
