    I like the current Israeli diplomat look.
    Israeli diplomats have started wearing jeans and sandals to work as part of a labour dispute over pay conditions, foreign ministry officials have said.

    Clip-on bow ties.

    Baggy Y-fronts with the ball sack appearing out of one side and the rear looking like someone walked a chunk of calf's liver into it.

    Trousers that hang like a baggy sac to the knee, then tight from the knee down. Seems to be very popular with idiot women.

    Abercrombie and fitch heads. Typically balding, nearing their 40s, like going to music festivals and have Facebook pages full of sky-diving pics and saving elephants in Ghana. Buy the groceries using the Visa card. Cycles a bike.
