It's the same rationale as the fashion designer Michael Kors and why he's been wearing the same black shirt, black blazer and dark jeans for years - to become "post-fashion" and have his own signature style that he doesn't have to think about and coordinate every day.
And much like Jobs, he used to dress like a hippie flower child early in his career and he realized sometime later how dated that looked, so he needed a timeless look.
- jarek 15y agoThere's no such thing as a timeless look. The only look I can think of going back to as late as the 60s - only 50 years - that could reasonably be claimed to be "timeless" is the business suit - and even that is becoming to look... unsuitable in an increasing number of settings.

- jarek 15y agoTo the 1940s? I'm pretty sure the tshirt as we know it didn't exist before then.
- wazoox 15y agoAn ordinary black suit, white shirt, black tie and black pants would be about ordinary from 1830 onwards. See http://lecostumeatraverslessiecles.chez-alice.fr/Costumes/XIXe/1830-1845_masculin.htm http://lecostumeatraverslessiecles.chez-alice.fr/Costumes/XI...
- ovi256 15y agoThe cut, fit (tighter or looser) and details such as pant length would date it pretty well. There's no such thing as a standard suit.
