Key quote: “the classic example of that is that brilliant comic novel, Diary of a Nobody, about the diary of a clerk who lives in Holloway, Mr. Pooter, and is very traditional.”
The host mentions 'Diary of a Nobody' to illustrate the contrast between traditional and modern styles of male clothing. Mr. Pooter, the protagonist, embodies the older fashion norms, which are juxtaposed against the more contemporary lounge suit worn by his son.
