“The difference between a man of sense and a fop is that the fop values himself upon his dress; and the man of sense laughs at it, at the same time he knows he must not neglect it.”

Lord Chesterfield

h/t Put This On

I could go to work in a polo and jeans everyday, but I make sure to wear shirt and tie. I find that the people I need to influence listen more closely when I’m professionally attired. I will occasionally joke that my foppish side comes out, but this quote comes closer to my true nature.
