twobears Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Your brother's cute and he looks much nicer with both buttons done up. If you only do one up it may appear that you have short term memory loss problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only do one up it may appear that you have short term memory loss problems Married with 2 kids but he is a good lucking guy No way doing up the top button is Daniel Craig.

waltzinblack Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Grey suits (especially slim fitting ones) are awesome, however.. no man will EVER look as good as Jamie Redknapp does in a grey suit. As long as you can accept that, then you may wear grey suits. I'm a young city worker so careful colour coordination, bolder colours and skinny ties are my thing. But the fit is WAY more important that the colour or anything. Baggy trousers, shiny shirts/suits, shirts without side pleats, fat ties, ties with schoolboy stripes/patterns, shirt and tie same colour (for work at least), shirt cuffs that aren't exposed by 1/4 inch when you sit down etc are all Excessive or bold pinstriping unacceptable unless banker or lawyer. Pretty much all colours are fine though. Except bright red, white, yellow or green. Burgundy and lighter blues look pretty cool if you're a young, trim, half decent looking bloke these days. Although I think my burgundy one is LITTLE bit much for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 such a daft unwritten rule even u don't agree with it Its not unwritten, its part of dressing properly (you actually are allowed to button the bottom at a funeral, but only then). Like if you are wearing a jacket you shouldnt have a top pocket on your short, like that bespoke suits have cuffs that unbutton, like your tie should actually be a recognised knot, you shouldt ever undo your top button when wearing a tie, your shoes and belt should match, you dont wear brown shoes with anything other than a brown suit ........... theres loads. Waltzinblack seems to get it, and Id wager he would have the **** ripped out of him by his colleagues if he got any of it wrong, been there, done that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Rubbish tie knots are just lazy. A well executed double Windsor takes 30 seconds and is very presentable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 i do the school boy tie knot as i don't know how to tie a windsor my dad had to do it for me when i was at home because i never wear a tie to work i feel very uncomfortable when made to wear one. so as soon as i can get away with it i bin the tie off. i sometimes like to wear brown shoes with my grey suits, but mostly i wear black shoes. if my shoes match my belt it would be sheer coincidence i'm no fashionister my work cloths consist of an old shirt with the sleeves rolled up and top button undone, pair of walking trousers navy blue and tan coloured steel toe cap boots. if i could get away with it but i know i can;t i'd wear a polo shirt to work instead of a normal shirt. and when it was hot i'd love to wear shorts, but not allowed. don't see the point of wearing nice clothes in a workshop thye only ever get ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 i do the school boy tie knot as i don't know how to tie a windsor my dad had to do it for me when i was at home Youre not alone - every wedding, funeral, christneing I go to theres at least 5 lads waiting in line for me to tie a tie for them TBH, I know where you are coming from though, its a lot easier to wear civvies sometimes. We decided a couple of years ago to stop wearing suit and tie in the office and its much nicer. That said, its also good to know how to rock a suit - remember, people you are trying to impress may well know the code too, you wouldnt get much appreciation from me for doing up your bottom button but roll up in a single breasted grey houndstooth with a navy blue tie on a proper dress shirt and Ill shake you by the hand.

Waltzinblack seems to get it, and Id wager he would have the **** ripped out of him by his colleagues if he got any of it wrong, been there, done that Hahah, you'd be surprised.. a lot of the older people who probably work in higher paid jobs than me that get the train are often dressed worse. So I'm less worried about **** taking I disagree about brown shoes though, as long as you match the belt you can get away with them with a grey or even a blue suit if you're feeling extra trendy. Also the good thing is, the school boy knot works ok with skinny ties because you cant notice them pulling to one side as much! There's definitely a 'too far' line though. I mean there's a couple of boys similar age to me who get the same train and work nearby, always wearing pinstripe suits with waistcoats and a handkerchief in the jacket pocket. Just screams out 'ripped it off the Topman mannequin' and is trying WAY too hard. I think you can only rock the waistcoat and hanky when you're on at least a 7 figure salary... not as a work experience boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I have to agree with you on the brown / tan shoes. I personally think that if your wearing a blue or charcoal / grey suit that a nice brown brogue shoes with a matching belt looks classy and modern. But defo wear a nice crisp white shirt and then add a little bit of colour with a tie or a pocket hankerchief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
