This is not a post on dress sense, rather this is a post on why it is important to not rush to judgment. Every statement of fact, or almost every statement of fact, is an approximation. We see this in physics, where even Newton’s laws of motion are approximations. We see this in all generalizations about race, and social systems, and corporate strategies, and moral systems, and of course the highly subjective and evolved worlds of literature and abstract art … and sartorial fashion.
We learn that we must never begin a sentence with an “And” but the best writers sometimes do with great effect. We learn detailed rules about how a PowerPoint presentation should look like and then someone makes a great presentation while flouting all these rules and putting, say, just four words on a single slide. There are always more advanced approaches.
And wearing light colored shirts with light colored linen jackets may be a good idea if you want a muted sophisticated look. A dark tie adds a more measured dose of color than a dark shirt would.
