The most generic/unstylish/invisible outfit a man can have? (khakis+polo shirt?)

On another thread somebody referred to it as the western suit I think. Blue denim shirt tucked into jeans with running shoes. Beware, I have seen this outfit. Typically the shirt sports a corporate logo of some sort.

I feel that you are selling out, and undermining the posthumous investment potential of your early work.
