That is really good advice. It seems like you speak from experience. Maybe some fashion company could work that into an ad campaign somehow.
Never, ever wore this or saw this. :dubious:
I suppose I was attempting to describe the attire I’ve known people to object to rather than to attest to its genuine prevalence. I think there’s a certain set of people who are bizarrely outraged that people don’t dress up often enough. And they find striped shirts to be particularly endemic in young men refusing to be dressy enough.
Then there’s this type of thing: ThePhatPhree.com is for sale | HugeDomains
Where, whether you find it amusing or not, it’s immediately apparent that the wearing of a striped shirt has nothing to do with anything else that’s written.
Personally, I like the nice, clean lines of a polo shirt.
But, what I’ve always wanted to do is somehow replace the horsey monogram of Polo with a monogram of two horses, once mounting the other one. Maybe even turn it into a theme type shirt. Hunters could chose between deer, elk or moose farking.
Subversive.
I really like:"Unfortunately I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather. "
Indeed.
Man that was some nastaligia. I used to have shirts like that when I was a kid, except one of mine was a mountain lion. I wanna make one with Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in wolf mode howling at the moon with Death Mountain poking out of the clouds in the background. Then the back will have a bunch of lightening, and a triforce logo with text “Hylian Thunder”.
It’ll be the perfect storm of geekism and redneckism.
I wear polo shirts, collar buttoned up with a matching cardigan. My tattooist made me wear them. She did not like my crew nect t shirts so changed my style for me. The only thing is that people have been saying that i am scum and calling me scrubber because of my clothes.
I don’t have any other clothes any more as my tattooist told me to throw them away which i did
i don;t realy like polo shirts and i hate cardigans, but i have to wear them now because i have been tattooed.
Do you think i am scum?
I’m waiting for the thread that vents disgust with trousers.
“Dammit, trousers, you aren’t boxer shorts and you aren’t a wetsuit! WTF, trousers?!?”
Ok, so the zombie hordes tend to look slovenly whether or not they are wearing a pullover or buttonup shirt. But what I want to know is why in the world would someone let their tattooist dictate their wardrobe.
JRD – who’s 53 as of last week, and happy he can dress like it and not care.
Polo shirts are for people who aren’t cool enough to wear Hawaiian shirts.
Have a couple of nice black ones I wear when we go out to dinner. I live in the US Southwest desert. That’s dressed up around here.
What I hate is they are useless as rags in their afterlife. Just chuck 'em straight into the dumpster. At least cotton T-shirts have useful second lives.
I like them, I think guys always look very nice wearing them.
But some of us work in exactly that zone. I don’t have to dress up for work. Jeans and tennis shoes are fine. A real dress shirt would be out of place, and a t-shirt (although I can get away with it–and sometimes do) seems too casual for a law office. I’d say I wear a polo shirt with jeans 4 out of 5 days per week. I’m sorry. Also, they don’t have to be ironed or dry cleaned.
I used to HATE polo shirts, but that was before I learned how much play I could get while wearing one. I swear, it’s like being made of chocolate. Now I own several.
Me, I’ve decided I prefer mock turtleneck short sleeve shirts.
My office allows polos. The alternative would be a button shirt, which I strongly dislike. Polo has a collar, doesn’t show wrinkles. Looks professional in the office. I’m happy with them.
Part of my job involves manhandling pc’s and printers. I need a stretchy shirt that still snaps back after I’m done twisting and turning my body.
They gave me polo shirts at work with the company logo on them. I’m not a big fan of the polo shirt (I see I’m in excellent company here) so I went and bought a bunch of black Carhartt scrubs and had an embroiderer put our logo on them. Now everyone thinks I’m a doctor and I get to work in my pajamas. Win win!
I switched from polos to button down short sleeve shits this season - the collars on my polo shirts always seem to become misshapen.
Would you mind repeating that slightly louder? 
Three seasons of the year, I never wear anything else.
Hey, 1998, your outrage is calling!
I swear, this thread is the weirdest mix of outdated stereotypes I’ve seen in a long time.
Personally, I think polo shirts are useful for guys, especially these days when most people don’t have to wear a tie to work. I can understand not wanting to wear one of those, but I appreciate a small effort to look neat & professional at the office.
