Who was/is the best dressed author?

I'll go with the Goddandy himself, Jules-Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly.

Do-rag on the head.
Air-Force Ones on the feet.

Stompin' in a duster,
Getin' swole,
Getin' lit-up,
with a damn bat,
packed shut with dank.

High as fuck living,
Head wrapped always,
Writing books,
Catching death,
Managing the 'do.

Suckers get played,
like shoelaces.

Oscar Wilde was the fop of all fops. The coxcomb to end all coxcombs. The king of all dandies. The #1 popinjay.

If you read descriptions of how Ezra Pound dressed he sounded pretty boss, though photos don't seem to do his clothes much justice (though they do his hair/face a whole lot of justice).

This look really only works, to the extent that it does at all, on an impish-looking elfin old man. Look at what a little shitweasel he looked like as a youngster!

I was going to post this in a sincere manner but someone already beat me to it with a sarcastic one.

Oh well, fuck it. I like his suits.
