No, I'm a desert aristocat. We usually wear shorts to everything but this is a special occasion so I really want to look sharp.

That's how you know a true aristocrat, he just wears his yacht and resort wear everywhere, because he doesn't have to put on a tux for you or anyone else! Like Richard Branson.

Dr C, one of my psych profs, said that same thing. He said if you have enough money you don't need to dress to impress, you don't have to care!

Yeah, it's known as Fuck You money.
When you have enough to simply say Fuck You to the world.

A word on behalf of Sir Richard though. He does have a sense of propriety and scrubs up quite well.
As in this picture from the Times 100 event.

Sir Branson always wears the appropriate thing.

When kite surfing he wears a naked lady.

Of all the stunts I've seen Branson pull, the most amazing to me was when he held a tea party on the top of a hot air balloon. Supported only by a thin layer of silk fabric underneath him.
