And I would add that Hamish maintains good fashion sense all the while.
Face it, some have fashion sense, some don't. Some could care less. Having it doesn't make one a fop. Even those with fashion sense don't always agree on what's right or wrong. Sticking with tradition is honestly the easiest path to follow if you care how you look. If you don't care, then it doesn't matter.
