OK now we're getting silly (subject is Pope Francis)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/30/pope-francis-best-dressed-esquire_n_4519163.html?ir=Religion

Pope Francis has picked up yet another year-end honor which may be his most surprising yet!

Esquire named him "The Best Dressed Man of 2013," chiefly for the symbolism of his papal style choices. Pope Francis has largely avoided splendor, and is most commonly seen in a plain white robe and skullcap. He chose the simplest papal ring out of those proposed to him, and passed over the red leather shoes that were previously a customary part of papal dress.

I would have no problem spotting him at a party. It's the shoes that do it.
