Jeff Bezos, style icon
The Amazon C.E.O. has steadily, and stealthily, become one of the most stylish men in tech. And Vanessa Friedman of the NYT argues that he dresses like Amazon sells:
Pointedly, and unlike his fellow tech entrepreneurs who have enshrined the dress-down uniform in the mythology of their sector and equated it with a life of the mind, Mr. Bezos has a facility for dressing up. He has also shown a willingness to sample outfits, much as he samples industries, the better to make them his own. It’s an expression of an omnivorous, rather than laserlike, focus.
