"Just Because You Read Wired And Tumblr Every Day Doesn't Mean You Should Dress Like A Silicon Valley Web Programmer."
Quote of the day by Adrien Field who wrote a fun piece on what men should wear to weddings. We think this is the perfect pre-cursor to the Wedding Party which will be up later today: From Savoirvivre NY:
"Weddings can be a cause of consternation for many young men: What to wear? You’re afraid that a tuxedo makes you look like you’re going to a high school prom but know better than to pull out the business suit.
With the dawn of web 2.0 where wedding photos won’t just be put in an album to gather dust, but publicized on Facebook, Flickr, Myspace, and a wedding blog to be seen by anyone, there is an added incentive to look your best....
At the same time, many equate web 2.0 with a loosening of formal ties. In an age where no one sits down to handwrite a letter, has the tuxedo become the sartorial equivalent of the quill? The answer is a resounding no: just because you may read Wired and Tumblr every detail of your daily life doesn’t mean you should dress like a Silicon Valley web programmer.

Agreed---That is a dumb post and terrible writing..... you want to know what to wear? READ t he invite that tells you what to wear. But, instead of saying that---its all a jumble of snotty writing. And what's with the log-rolling-----GoG links to anything that mentions it's name?/// is that how 2.0 works---REVOLUTIONARY development. I'm disappointed.

If I may, I think Adrien is using Web 2.0, when he might have just said "social networking" or somesuch - the point being that the images fly around everywhere, opening you to criticism from strangers (ahem!), not just the 20 or so people you might have sent a snapfish album to only a couple of years ago. If he wants to defend a certain level of dressing, that's his prerogative, and we thought he had a point....

I understand that facet of the connection, the point lost on me was implying that somehow we have all started to dress in the dark because we use social networking sites (third paragraph). Maybe I am interpreting it the wrong way...

No, that's his point, I think, or more exactly, his opinion. I realize it's a long road from webtrepeneur/creatives not wearing ties to the office anymore to worrying whether people are gonna start wearing hoodies to weddings, but I've seen more specious arguments in the Times Style section every week...

We forgive you. Have a three gimlet lunch, and you'll be right as rain and eviscerating our subjects again...
