The Mentor. Ayres Alfred

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ a few men, in the large cities, where they dine late—at six or seven o’clock—that put on their dress suits regularly every day before dinner and wear them for the rest of the day.

      A white necktie should never be worn except with a full-dress suit, save by clergymen and a few elderly men that never wear any other color.

      Black trousers should never be worn except with a dress coat, save at funerals.

      A high hat should not be worn with a sack coat, especially if the color is light.

      A low hat should not be worn with a long coat—a double-breasted frock, for example.

      Straw hats should be worn only with light summer suits.

      Dark suits are to be preferred for Sundays, especially in town, and light suits should never be worn to church anywhere.

      Double-breasted frock coats should always be of black or gray material.

      At small, informal gatherings most men consider themselves sufficiently dressed when they wear black frock coats and dark trousers. Indeed, there is no good reason why men should appear in full dress on any occasion where the ladies do not wear full dress. At public entertainments, for example, where the ladies wear their bonnets, the man that wears a black frock coat, dark trousers, and light kid gloves is better dressed—because more appropriately—than he that wears a full-dress suit. True, the practice of wearing such a suit on such occasions entails additional expense, as otherwise a business or walking suit and a dress suit may be made to serve for all occasions.

      At home, the first consideration with pretty nearly every man will always be comfort. No man, however, that has any regard for the proprieties will ever appear at the table, whether there are any strangers present or not, or will show himself to any one with whom he is not on a familiar footing, in his shirt-sleeves.
