A data point: My father bought me a beautiful and very conservative black suit for my Grandfather’s funeral around 1994 when I was still a student. I liked it very much and wore it a lot.
The other day, looking for something to wear to a wedding, I dug it out and tried it on. It makes me look like a character from an 80′s rock video, or possibly an episode of “Miami Vice”, and I wouldn’t be seen dead in it.
From which I conclude not only that there is fashion even in the most sober of men’s clothing, but that I am aware of it in some way.

Both these conclusions surprised me.
