The perils of white shoes and suits.

I spent this weekend at the horseraces and have to admit there seems to be a polar opposite between people that can dress and people that clearly are taking tips from Liberace.

Whilst I do find myself giving points for putting on a suit in the first place, I have to deduct thousands of points for the woeful shoes, shirts and ties which guys in Melbourne seem to think look great. For these guys it's not about looking like someone has a sense of style, rather looking like a pimp selling his 2 dollar slappers down on skid-row.

The main offender seemed to be guys with a love affair for white leather shoes. Now I'm the first to admit white shoes can be cool on Storm Troopers and motocross racers, but with a suit... brother, pull up.

So if you ever think of donning a pair of white shoes with your suit, please stop and have a think about what you're telling the world about your ability to dress yourself.

Draw attention to your winning personality, your philandering ways or that gap in your teeth, but leave the white shoes alone (unless you can dress them up like the guy above).
