You can be smug and use terms like “stunning” or “sobering” to describe Daniel Day Lewis‘s fashion sense. What it’s about, really, is a kind of rural Irish attitude. I’ve been to social occasions in southwestern Ireland (in a town called Knocklong) and I have a recollection of what goes there. Plaid suits aren’t normal — they’re eccentric — but at the same time they don’t weird people out. I would personally lose it if I was at a party in which, say, 50 guys were dressed like this, but just one is fine.
