My T wears a suit and tie, or sports jacket and tie-- He tends to rotate the same few ties and suits, so you see a few outfits at any time. He always wears gray or brown or monochromatic ties-- nothing at all colorful or showy. Always very subdued and unornamented. But if you're looking at all, the effect is to catch your attention with how insistently unchic or non-lavish it is.

His office is like that, too-- other than photos and a few relics from trips, which he has on the wall, it's very plain and understated-- the rug has always been a kind of industrial fabric, with a matte color. Even his current red color doesn't glow, but rather is flat and stolid.-- So if the sofa. Large, graying tan. -- Even the photos have this sort of muted, reflective quality-- earth colors and at most a pale grayish-green.

He's worn the same watch the entire time I've known him.

He's slightly the formal side, but doesn't give any impression of formality-- he's always a bit rumpled, looking as if his shirt tails will come out-- although they don't. I've always thought he didn't want to attract attention, or seem ostentatious-- and while the furniture is in the same neutral color range as his clothes-- almost pointedly so--it's all kind of aggressively blah.

It puts him out of the spotlight-- and makes him disappear into the background-- which is hard because he's a very tall, imposing figure. It's all of a piece, and hard to pick anything out of, because nothing calls for your attention--
