Colonel Barry Jenkins Of Royal Artillery Regiment: Dress Like Prince Harry

It's normal for the military to mandate what soldiers wear, from uniforms to the minor details (manicures, tattoos).

But Colonel Barry Jenkins of Britain's Royal Artillery Regiment, the artillery arm of the British Army, has sent around a hilariously specific sartorial guideline for soldiers. The key directive? Dress like Prince Harry.

In an email memo, Jenkins outlined a bit of advice for soldiers when they're wearing civilian clothes. Recommendations include a "slim elegant leather suit belt" with no big, flashy buckles and socks high enough so they "do not show your flaky, spindly, hairy Twiglet-like shin" (we love British phraseology).
The same understated look goes for footwear. According to the Daily Mail, Jenkins writes in the email, "A heavy tread and a big fat square toe won't do justice to your well-cut suit... you wouldn't put ketchup on a Dover sole." (Never!)
But when in doubt, err on the royal side. According to the Sun, the email concludes:
"If in doubt, follow Princes William and Harry for civilian clothing direction (all apart from that one-off tea cosy incident)."
While we're not completely certain what "tea cosy incident" the colonel's referring to (readers, fill us in?), we do agree that Prince Harry's got a dapper off-duty style... sometimes. We bet the colonel is no fan of the royal's motorcycle look, on full display last week: light jeans, clunky boots, plaid shirt and red bandana.
Cool? Sure. Elegant? Definitely not...!
