Public relations expert Peter Bingle has lost his membership of an exclusive London club – on the grounds that, rather than adhere to the club’s strict code of dress casual, he turned up for lunch at the achingly hip & trendy Soho House – wearing a suit & tie.Oh the shame & horror.
However, another style guru, Mr Mansel Fletcher, has leapt to the defence, by pointing out that ‘The idea that there’s something inherently uncool about wearing a suit is embarrassingly dated.’
Would it be enough for a member wishing to remain in good standing to take a partial Rolling Stones solution – and simply remove the tie & jacket?
Fact: The Managing Director of Soho House is married to Kirsty Young, the heroine of Desert Island Discs
