The no loafers with suits is outdated. It was that way, but not anymore.

I still think it depends on the suit. If it's a casual suit, OK. But you shouldn't wear them with very formal business suits for the same reason you shouldn't wear flip flops in that situation...

Boring today, I woke up late

The sleeves are now too short on this shirt. I am getting new staple shirts in September.

I believe these jacket sleeves are long... if you shorten them a bit and have your shirt sleeves end where your jacket sleeves do right now, it will look better.

I see it everyday around here too, but I still don't think that makes it right. If lots people started wearing sneakers with a business suit would that make it right?

Well, unfortunately in manhattan that is also commonplace and nobody bats an eye at it.

At some point, yes, that would make it right.

Citan: Shirt sleeves may be too short, but there's no way for us to see that with those long jacket sleeves.

pB: Do you love or just like that tie?
