Nice general tips. I don't think many people carry a filofax anymore. The most important thing came at the very end:

A real gentleman always looks the part and the regulations for leisurewear are just as intricate.

I think this really sets people apart from the herd. I always like to meet someone in an "informal" setting to see how they carry themselves away from the office.

Yeah good point. I am not sure how fair it is to judge someone on how they walk around in their free time though?

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

I just want to make sure they look appropriate for the setting. One scenario would be to invite someone to meet for coffee on a Saturday morning and tell them I will be dressed casually.

Are they wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt? Or did they wear a nice pair of jeans and a polo?

tl;dr that article but GQ is the authority on style advice for men (among other things lol)

You're pretty clueless. I am too, but at least I realize it.

Also, I just bought http://www.american-giant.com/mens-heavyweight-full-zip-hooded-sweatshi… and it's fucking incredible. Referred my school email and I'm about to buy the pants.

Just dress like Patrick Bateman.

I had hoped you'd have higher standards than that.
