J.P. Morgan CEO, Poor Dresser?
J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is a man with many titles—"Obama hanger-on, savior of Wall Street, and irritable dick," according to Gawker—but just one pair of pants. Evidently, Dimon loves tight jeans, an obsession that dates back to high school, as showcased by his 1974 senior yearbook page. He even rocked the look during last year's bailout meeting with the Treasury office. According to the biography Last Man Standing, Dimon failed to lose the look once the 1970s ended. He spent business school in jeans and a blue leather jacket and "his classmates actually remember that of the 75 students in their year, Dimon was the absolute worst dresser." Of Dimon's weekend style—tight black jeans and a black t-shirt, one executive quipped, "Jamie was dressed like Johnny Cash," adding, "I guess he thought he looked cool. But he didn't."

I read this with a chuckle. I am wearing a striped knit cap, a holey fleece pullover, cut off camo pants over black tights, white socks, and brown clogs.
I gave up tight jeans when I hit forty. I should have given them up at the 25 year mark.

So what? There are snappier dressers working lesser jobs. When you can do the job with competence you can go to work in a clown suit.

I agree with the above 2 posts. Additionally, in his picture above he looks quite well dressed. Why is this news?

I believe Ralph Lauren, RALPH LAUREN,
is still rockin' this look.
He always appears at the end of his shows in jeans
and some $1,200 jacket of his.
He (and Europeans) believe 'the blue jean' is America's
biggest contribution to fashion.
DENIM has been the new black
for 1/2 a century.

I figure it this way. You are not going to be thinner in fat jeans, so wear what you want.
And he has enough money to not care what anyone thinks anyway.
Good for him, just wear what he wants.
Thank you.
