Your favorite Alex P. Keaton outfit? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm on a roll, so I thought I'd keep going.

One of the more famous elements of the show was Alex's sartorial choices: generally formal, sometimes preppy, and, above all, traditional. There are times you see him in t-shirt and jeans, but these moments are few and far between. (I don't believe you ever catch him donning a pair of shorts.)

A very typical outfit consisted of a patterned button-down shirt (button-down collar more often than not) and square-bottom knit tie layered beneath a sweater, a sweater vest, or an elbow-patched sportcoat/blazer -- all with dress slacks and shoes to match.

Anybody else find themselves latching on to a particularly sharp ensemble in a certain episode or two?

In the episode Starting Over, Jennifer and Mallory dress Alex so he will look "hip". He wears a shirt, pair of slacks and a jacket. In one of his hands is a black purse. I'm not sure why he was carrying a purse.

One of his lines: "I'm hip, I'm cool, I'm a happenin' fool."

Because his briefcase wouldn't work with that outfit?

Being a lifelong Ohio resident, I always loved it when Alex wore shirts that had an Ohio theme.

My favorite was his little sweater vest with APK written on it.
