Your legs are the cynosure of attention in riding. 30 Most men in the country wear knickerbockers with golf stockings, with a sack or a belted or a semi-belted coat, and in any variety of homespuns or tweeds or rough worsted materials. Or they wear long trousered flannels. Coats are of the polo or ulster variety. For golf or tennis many men wear sweater coats.
Shirts are of cheviot or silk or flannel, all with soft collars attached and to match.
The main thing is to dress appropriately. Do not wear a yachting cap ashore unless you are living on board a yacht. 32 White woolen socks are correct with white buckskin shoes in the country, but not in town. The well-dressed man is always a paradox. He must look as though he gave his clothes no thought and as though literally they grew on him like a dog's fur, and yet he must be perfectly groomed.
