Nobel blog of Robert Engle, one of last years laureates in economics.
Nobel’s formal events require white-tie-and-tails or (there is an exception!) “national costume.” Unfortunately, the national costume of physics is anything-goes-topped-with-a-funny-logo-on-your-Tshirt.
I’ve been doing online “research” on what people wear* to all the various parties in Sweden–the Engle family blog was a great resource. They went to three balls in one week…wow!
As a direct result of this research, I got Frank to come shopping with me and buy some non-sneakers.
* Another interesting find: a “royalty website” over on Angelfire.
