"Bearish on Pinstripes"

The New York Times Fashion & Style section featured an article on Wednesday entitled "When No One Wants to Look Like a Banker". Of course, this is ground we covered back in October here, but perhaps it just hadn't sunk in yet. 

So agreeing with the main premise of the article, and have admitted to my own unease while wearing a brash navy pinstripe suit, I clicked into the 11 photo slideshow of "looks" that can replace pinstripes, and can only say that not a single outfit in there would be deemed appropriate office attire in a NY financial firm. One can wear a suit & tie without "looking like a banker". I actually love some of the looks they put together, but also know you might not get past security in 85 Broad Street, let alone be taken seriously once you did.
