Board Member's 1980's

For the board room scenes, board members meetings, board members fretting and grumbling, and so forth.  Board Members are suit guys and gals.  The colors palette for them will be the classic:  navy, charcoal grey, greys, black suits.  pin stripes, solids, VERY quiet/sublte plaids, non-contrasty herringbone.  suits of the 1980's tended to have a 3.5" wide lapel at the peak (a bit wider than most suits today), the fabrics were stiffer than the soft fabrics of today, the shoulders were strong, the tailoring neat, clean and precise.  trousers can be flat front or pleated, cuffed or not, all precise.       White, light blue, subtle stripe, long sleeve, regular point collars, button down collars, tie bars and pins or not, cuff links or not.  Dark lace up dress shoes, well polished, black socks.  Nice dress belts. Ties are medium in width and classically conservative.

in a classic business world, the suits look between the 80's and 90's is subtle.  

In our Board Member world we should do classical conservative what is often referred to as "Brooks Brothers"
