The Classic Style Mindset

I teach critical thinking, teamwork, project management, and creative problem-solving -- 21st century employability skills -- through a variety of undergraduate literature and culture courses at a large state-run university. I am a staunch advocate of classic adult male attire similar to that worn by my father, maternal grandfather, and the men like them: educated white collar professionals shuttling between Manhattan and the Philadelphia exurbs, or the Chesapeake Bay and the Carolina coast during the summer. Back when boys entered, accepted, and even embraced adulthood on graduating from college. Executive expense accounts were plentiful. Air travel was still glamorous. And people still realized the need for and importance of putting their best foot forward in all respects. Even when at home on the weekends. As my mother and grandmother used to say, "The people you live with are every bit as deserving of the social graces as those you meet in public. Now go back upstairs, brush your hair, and wash your face!"
