The attire of an aspirant dresser consisted of: Farrah 'dress pants', black flecked with red and yellow; pastel shaded LaCoste polo shirt; coloured 'sea-sider' deck shoes; and Barber waxed jacket. On school days the LaCoste would have to be substituted for a white nylon job with the tie done up in as big a knot as possible, rather like some plebian cravat. The look is best described as a proto-Alan Partridge effect.
