itt "FUN SHIRTS"

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

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

hmmmm

racist y/n

i'm loathe to say that there's "too much going on" but idk, that novelty print isn't really doing it for me (as much as i love the cholula lady)

loath*

i could see a certain kind of individual pulling that off but i would advise most of my friends to stay away from that look

i would like to think i'm that certain kind of individual but probably no

hey do you think gitman bros takes custom orders
