itt "FUN SHIRTS"

sadly this is too small for me to wear, and it's obviously been worn and loved by some dude very much -- the colors have probably faded a lot and the collar is practically falling apart. but still, for $2 it was impossible to pass up. i'm thinking of gifting it to a friend for xmas, but i'd have to do something about the collar -- either repair it with a bias strip or maybe even cut the collar off altogether and make a band collar shirt out of it? i don't know.

if i can't figure that out i might just use it for fabric.

damn it:

it's getting to that time of year again

would wear http://www.mrporter.com/product/340847

picked up a couple aloha shirts this week

one for me (yellow background hibiscus parrot print) and another for my bf (beachscape) but i doubt he'll wear it

fun shirts hitting critical mass this year, seeing them everywhere

no more aloha shirts for me (at the workplace at least) but my new dress code is a suit with "a well-tailored, interesting dress shirt, no tie"

uh oh

suit & no tie is a pretty interesting dress code

"FUN FORMAL"

'ketel one advertorial'

the 'no tie' part is downright offensive to you elmo, isnt it

haha nah it's cool, it's the first time i've heard of that type of dress code though & i'm sure gr80 will rock the look flawlessly

is it like "no tie necessary" or "NO TIE"?

seems like in a no-tie + suit look the collar will do a lot of lifting. it seems whenever i look for shirts, high-end stuff is all spread collars and low-end stuff is all lame long point collars. are there shirtmakers that are known for having cool collars. i probably need to go to soho and east villlage boutiques more

its NO TIE (via ~lyfestyle hotel~)

front desk managers just started wearing ties but that's relatively new i guess and just that department.

i've been stocking up on pastel solids and bold checks, but my boss has a decent wardrobe of shirts with FUN details: contrast buttons/stitching, solid shirts with patterns on the inside of the collar/cuffs, that sort of thing. any tips on finding DRESS shirts in this particular vein of FUN would be appreciated.

suits i currently have:

• dark charcoal w/ subtle black pinstripe
• lighter charcoal/black pindot
• solid navy
• blue in a shade too light to be called navy, too dark to be royal, has a little bit of black and brown that shows up in certain light

light grey cotton suit is a p sweet jam

tbh i think these are all awful, but ...

i do not vibe to the spread collar

the ursprung for plain shirts with patterns on cuffs is paul smith, but they are £££

can you wear a waistcoat/vneck?

v-neck sweaters totally.

waistcoats probably, i don't really see myself going for that look though.

i bet FUN WAISTCOATS will be a thing any season now.

totally

gr80 just have your tailor replace the buttons on your shirts with gold plated ones

kinda feeling on solid or block colored dress shirts rn with thin or windsor collars or like the modified bankers shirt (via balmain)

also gr8 please dont be the guy wearing a waistcoat

no for real tho, i think replacement buttons might be an inexpensive way to liven up a solid dress shirt, just not necessarily those xposts

might buy this shirt-- with a navy suit its kind of fly

nice. u gonna go for the invisible tie look??

no for real tho, i think replacement buttons might be an inexpensive way to liven up a solid dress shirt, just not necessarily those xposts

totally, i'd already thought abt doing this.

a waistcoat thread bump this thread when you're wearing a waistcoat/vest

but yeah, it is a high risk move

hmm

PREME

the fact that the pattern isn't matched across the zipper is driving my eyes crazy and i'm not so crazy about the pattern itself BUT i kinda like the idea of a printed harrington-style jacket, as a concept

considering
