What is it with people involved in racing, do they get dressed in the dark or are they so far removed from normal society that they don't know how stupid they look.
Take Jim McGrath on C4 at the moment. He has a dark suit with a pink tie...okay that is not too bad but then he sticks a stupid shitty brown hat on his head!
Paul Nicholls has caught the same bug as Nicky Henderson and Charlie Mann. Pink jumper, blue shirt, yellow tie and red trousers I mean come on surely it isn't only me that has noticed! Are they trying a new therapy to help them with Coulrophobia??

If you're talking brutal clothes you can't forget Rich Ricci, he looks like a paint explosion in a tweed factory most of the time. Apparently money can't buy taste

Bloke culture has created a total lack of confidence in the way men dress and the safe option for most of them is to turn up to events in fancy dress; racegoers dress like a country gent, football/rugby fans all wear their replica outfits, at the athletics they'll be in tracksuits, fake team uniforms at the F1.
Dressing appropriately doesn't mean you have to dress like a poorly 9 year old being lead out onto the pitch/track/circuit pretending to be one of the competitors.
Women don't seem to have the same crisis of confidence and generally don't take the p!ss out of each other for how they're dressed or what haircut they've got. If a man doesn't 'conform' they get nothing but grief.
