Only thing worse than that trend is the Too Small Suit.

You poor guys - the suit hasn't changed since the early 19th century. When you think about it suits are kinda weird esp. when the coat gets long, it becomes almost like a dress and ties, ties are just bizarre. Like a noose around your neck. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE a sharp dressed man in a suit but seriously, it's nice to have some fun injected into your wardrobe once in a while, no?

BTW - if you're gonna wear a white dress shirt, please wear a short sleeved undershirt and don't spare the starch.

Oh yeah - LOVE Trask. The buffalo hide is sooooooo nice.

Starting with the top button and working your way down: it’s sometimes appropriate to have the top button buttoned along with the middle one (a stylistic decision — if the lapel is flat, it can look good to button it; if the lapel rolls over and hides the top button, only button the middle one), it’s always appropriate to have the middle button buttoned (the middle button pulls the jacket together at your natural waist and lets the bottom naturally flare out around your hips), and you should never button the last button (doing so messes up the intended tailoring and flare offered by the middle button). Sometimes, always, never.

Those are cop shoes. Great if you're a cop. And undershirts are for people who wear crappy shirts. Which reminds me- what's with the scoop neck t-shirt thing for dudes?

I respectfully disagree. Wingtips are the predominate shoe in law firms and an undershirt brings it together.

this is a great thread - up next - double breasted jackets - never - ever

It's the vibram soles. Those are made for chasing perps, not ambulances...

Unless you are letterman. The vest thing is ridiculous, too. What? No pocket watch?

IMHO - they can look good on the right build but you need to keep the jacket buttoned or it looks stupid.

Yeah - I agree, those soles are not classic. I was just looking at the upper.

[DBdude]

the soles make the shoe! they are dressy with a splash of casual - works great for vermont and seattle - LOL

edited to add - I hate leather soles

I don't work in a career that requires you to dress. most IT guys don't dress for interviews, it's a sign of being old. I am getting more advanced in years and am quite aware of age discrimination in my field

[DBdude]

vests suck

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Undershirts are for men who think big watches and silk suits are classy. Like this guy:
