While Barney Stinson from "How I Met Your Mother" certainly rocks a suit as a matter of course, and would truly love one and all to believe he were badass, I cannot think of a situation in which he displayed any combat skills worth noting, unless master cocksman counts, which, really, it prob'ly oughtn't. Stretching a metaphor til it goes all thin and see through and such.

I would agree he's a modern contender for Trope Codifier of Sharp Dressed Man, mind.

The early bird gets the worm, which is great if you like worms for breakfast.

Does the "conservative" in the trope's definition preclude female characters who wear a female business/formal suit with a Dangerously Short Skirt?
