whnay.'s good taste thread

I have a friend that does this often with a tie-less OCBD and she is a lesbian.

I'm a lesbian too--again, depending on the angle.

Buttoning your jacket when wearing a tieless BD shirt : this is where you fail

This. If you're going to look casual, why button your jacket? Flip your collar up if you're cold or put your hands in your (patch) pockets.

This one says: "Gee I sure do hope my internship will turn into a fulltime job opportunity!"

That collar looks like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.

Does that mean that it needs collar stays?

I concur. Do you concur?

I should have concurred.

Please remember to tip your waitress.

Many men in the 60's, 70's and 80's had their shirts and khakis laundered and starched. Often with very heavy starch. (I believe that was a military tradition) Heavy or loose weave fabrics like twills or oxford cloth often came back crisp and stiff like fresh folded cardboard. No need for collar stays. Armani probably had the greatest influence on promoting the softer look to a mass audience that we continue to enjoy.

Interesting, as they already looked pretty stiff back in those days..

None of you have considered the ascot angle.

I have one neckerchief. It's purple with very subtle silver/grey dots. The fabric is silk/wool/cashmere blend. I knot it and tuck it into my shirt. I feel rakish when I wear it and get better service in restaurants.

Congrats on being a dad, Canta.

And nice blazer, except the buttons.

OCBD with no tie and sport coat is bad? Has the world gone mad or something?

Not the world. Just one guy.

And I think he's been that way for a while. Which is why we love him.

 

[RDiaz]

lol, I guess. BTW, I hate non-buttoned collars with a coat and no tie, unless they are soft and sporty. I might be crazy as well. And whomever invented collar stays should have been kicked in the nuts. Multiple times. Many times. I'd still be kicking him today if he was alive. There's my take

I would suggest that's a feature common to tieless BDs (though perhaps not quite to the same extent) and a good enough reason to dislike them.
