[rockeye]

Don’t listen to this rich urbanite preach fashion. “The better you dress, the worse you can behave.” That may as well be the mantra of the spoiled rich elite that is ruining this country.

GQ is so cringy. This is a sad attempt at developing your "own style and breaking rules." We get it, you've left a few things unbuttoned and your tie is done in a careless fashion. Unoriginality is so easy to spot. You may as well have wrote "sprezzatura"on his forehead. It's sad the people with actual style are in the street, not in commercials.
