I mean:
"I wear a well-tailored suit around town and in my abode I enjoy donning a nice smoking jacket with a pipe of tobacco smoke."-Sherlock Holmes.
Or:
"Tell Poirot that he can find me in a burgundy smoking jacket with dark pants, white shirt and black bow tie. If that is unsatisfactory, he may also recognize me by my newly purchased white meerschaum tobacco pipe.”- Sherlock Holmes again.
RDJ actually avoided the usual Holmes style for the most part and was wearing nice suits multiple times throughout the movies.
Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."
