Just seen a guy wearing a black bomber jacket with yellow tartan sleeves and flared collar.

The bay city rollers would have been horrified

It's an Elton John song. No need to look it up.

I guess one can be eloquent in the way in which one dresses and it appears Elton John believed that to be the case also.

Yep black bomber with a huuuuuuge yellow tartan collar and sleeves.

I am no dedicated follower of fashion but I can recognise a victim when I see one. Did I mention he was in his 60's?

Bully for you, shame you didn't understand the phrase. That the problem with education these days, no understanding of the subtleties of language

I was certainly using that phrase before Elton John in 1980.

Dressing in a fashionable and stylish way
