5 mins confidence: 
perform jazz in suit and tie / suited and booted Explanation: Although the phrase her is "jacket and tie", I think "suit and tie" is more commonly used in English and conveys the same idea. To play on the theme "suited and booted" would also work. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2012-09-19 17:57:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OR: "A radical in a suit and tie" http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=30348#.UFoHbL...

peer agreement (net): +3staid jazz in tailored suits Explanation: I love the word 'staid' and this seems a perfect place to use it! The meaning of the phrase is more or less as Cynthia describes, but for me 'formal' or 'traditional' aren't pejorative enough. |
