Gentlemen, a sartorial challenge for you.

[Zulu Romeo]

I got them all right (OK, I just happened to guess the denim one & the watch one correctly; I know diddly squat about jeans & watches) because I know how these writers think and what they were looking for...

Now that didn't surprise anyone.

... but I actually disagree with several of their answers:

...

Bottom line, the quiz answers are lowest-common-denominator generalities, lacking nuance and real style. But that's about what you'd expect from the Mail, which caters to a similar readership...

That doesn't surprise me either. I wonder if you should give Gok Wan a makeover?

I got 14 (stylish mind, now get the look): given the language barrier, I suppose it's not bad. But I really wanted to be an Holdfast apprentice!

 

[Roger Wilco]

I imagine I'd score somewhere around 33% on that quiz, because I don't know the answer to a single one of these questions.

making your bespoke suit (WTF is a "bespoke" suit?)

I'm disappointed Holdfast didn't jump on this one. It's a made-to-measure suit. When a guy you've never met before holds a tape measure to the top of your inside leg and asks 'and to which side does Sir dress?'

I had no idea on any of these. I scored lower than a chimpanzee choosing randomly.

See, that's good! At least you don't dress like one

Honey, you're Italian, you have style coming out of your .... DNA

I will argue to the death that man in straight. As soon as his career dwindles we'll see pictures of him all over the tabloids with a busty brunette and I shall cry "in your face!" from the rooftops.

But yeah... I do strangely like his programs.

8, I am ashamed to get even that high a score, I had no idea what was going on in that quiz.

But you gave it a go, thank you.
I think ~ or rather hope ~ that most people will take it with the pinch of salt that is intended

 

[Augustus]

LOL, for sure, but I still had no idea what was being asked half the time

 

[cyph]

7?!?!?!?!?! WTF

I'm so disappointed in myself...

But really, this was a UK survey, and trends there don't translate to trends here... I mean honestly, THE WHITE SUIT for summer? That's BEEN DONE in the states. Shieeet, my white blazer is just collecting dust and wrinkles in my closet right now!

crap stix to this, I say!

Toys back in pram please, you make the thread untidy

I think John Travolta did a great job with the white suit in the States, we're just bringing it a little more up to date

 

[Ariadne]

Can women play? I got 13, though I know more about women's clothing than men's.

I'm disappointed to hear that they think pocket squares are going out... I like the look.

Then you've got a couple years to get the dust off before the European trends get to North America.
