Casual Friday

When journalist/blogger extraordinare Matt Yglesias writes this:

Hotel staff seems not to appreciate the casual stylishness of my sneakers/ jeans/suit jacket ensemble. Instead, it's all funny looks.

I have to wonder, was he rocking the look more in the spirit of, say, Kanye West, or was it kind of like a Glenn "Sonny Crockett" Reynolds thing? The Professor is rumored to have once claimed at a U-T alumni dinner:

"They laughed at me when I wore jeans with a sportcoat. I was the first wealthy man in America to do that. Now they all do it!!"

We feel you Sonny, we feel you.
