You Look Smart

Fluffy NYT article about how younger men are now into dressing better:

Dressing for Success, Again


 "And at Topman, the men’s branch of the popular Topshop, the category it calls “smart” clothing — dressier togs that straddle work and play — has been one of the best performers in its new New York store.

“I think it’s a reaction against the homogeneity of casual wear,” said Gordon Henderson, the design director of Topman. “There’s nowhere to go with that in terms of personality, whereas a suit sets you apart. And now there are suits that are cut for young people. There’s never been that before, so it’s new to them.”"


I like that phrase, "smart clothing". Shouldn't all clothing be smart, in the original sense of the word?
