Army Style Tips.

[Fittster]

A colonel has ordered young officers to ‘sharpen up’ their appearance by dressing more like Princes William and Harry – and less like schoolboys from Grange Hill.
In an extensive email, Colonel Barry Jenkins of the Royal Artillery Regiment tells male officers to avoid cartoon character socks, the ‘silvery’ shirts worn by Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker and shoes with treads like ‘four-wheel drives’

Further advice includes avoiding diving watches, which look ‘awful’ when ‘furiously scrunched up against your shirt cuff’, and to steer clear of shirts with pockets or those in black, red or other ‘EMO’ colours, referring to the clothes worn by members of popular bands such as My Chemical Romance, which often include studded belts and black wristbands.

It's ok, he's a PHer, normally found in the lounge in topics such as 'what sort of black tie ' and 'does my bum look big in this'.

How times change.

I recall in the early 80's the PMC of a Guards' Officers Mess blowing a fuse at the suggestion from a subbie that they might be allowed to wear a lounge suit to dinner at weekends.

Nope, Prince William would never be seen dead in a divers watch.

You'd never see him announcing his engagement or getting married in a Seamaster Pro.

Yeah but Wills has the mid size (it was a gift from his mother) so it fits under his cuff!

One would expect our future King's tailor is probably able to cut the cuffs appropriately. As opposed to Next/Burton/Tesco's more generic cut...
