Shot-sleeved dress shirt with a tie makes me think of Andy Sipowicz from NYPD Blue. And yes, I agree, it's hideous looking.

Those who have put up with my posts in the past know I am rather into mens suits/businesswear. That said, if you never ever listen to my advice on anything ever again, it is that you will never ever wear a short sleeved shirt with a tie for any purpose, business or pleasure. The negative associations with the look are so strong I have trouble even saying it. It SCREAMS - "I work in the mailroom". If thats the message you want to send your boss/clients, go for it.....

At best...

I agree 100% with NYB on this one. In fact I would say never wear a short sleeve dress shirt regardless of the tie.

I agree... actually, for work I won't even wear button-down collars. They're not as formal/stylish as regular collars.

That being said, a Goodfellas collar that comes all the way together in the front and covers the tie is also not good. :biggrin:

A white short-sleeved dress shirt with a tie looks goofy. A more casual-looking print like the one below isn't so bad... it just says "entry-level," because if you were higher up, either you'd have a jacket or the gravitas to get away with true casual. Oh, coaches might be an exception... not many people are doing that much running around in dress shirts.

I feel for ya guys when it's warm out... dresses are a definite advantage then. Hmmm... on second thought, no sympathy until you have to deal with heels.

I had a bunch of coworkers at my old job who loved that look. I have never tried it and never will. Oh, they used to not wear t-shirts under their dress shirts either. Nothing like the giant pit stains on those hot days.
