In Casey's defence, he's 61. So the pleats and baggier styles were cool when he was coming up. It's not like he's a younger guy shirking modern trends; he's just an older gentleman set in his ways.

Quin Snyder dresses well - good fits and sensible colors. Brad Stevens could use a little help. I'm fine with the no tie look, but your jacket needs to be more form fitting to pull it off - his jackets tend to be a little big.

Daly was probably the sharpest coach of all time. He just carried himself like a boss at all times.

Don Nelson used to wear some terrible outfits for his body type. I remember when he would move a certain way, his girth would pop out every now and then. :lol:

Was actually able to find a picture of this :D

Came to write basically this exact thing. While I don’t assume he does coke anymore, I’m sure he has a perfectly legal dose of adderall to keep him hyped up.

Mitchell is a good pick. I'm not really a suit person myself, but he always had some nice ones on.

Short tie might be my biggest pet peeve. Takes 10 seconds to fix it. Find the time.

sometimes you wear the suit and sometimes the suit wears you

I mean if you can afford it it's not that hard to get a couple of suits made, and they will tell you what looks good on you and what doesn't. Just take the advice
