sartorial (adj.), sartorially (adv.)
English added the adjectival (胎) suffix -ial to the Latin sartor, meaning "tailor" and, perhaps humorously, "patcher."
Some purists continue to object to sartorial as a cliché and as overconsciously elegant, but it seems to be replaceable only by longish phrases, and it is therefore useful.
Once it referred only to tailoring, but today it refers to any aspect of clothing or, by extension, to a person’s overall appearance. The adverb sartorially has similarly generalized in meaning.
Needless to say, it is not a love connection. It's not that Mark Darcy is so awful; it's just that he's a sartorially challenged snob who loftily dismisses Bridget's attempt to make conversation. She much prefers mooning over Daniel Cleaver (Grant), her cad of a boss who has finally begun to take notice of her Ally McBeal-length skirts.
