There is a well-known saying that the best way to tell whether a man is well dressed is to look down. Hardy Amies, recent dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II, concurs:
"It is totally impossible to be well dressed in cheap shoes. To buy the best you can afford, to go for what you really can't afford, is not extravagance. But to fail to look after shoes is profligacy."
