Short sleeve shirts and ties

[Bluejuice]

It's all very well having a go at those with the short sleeved combo going on but some of us have no choice.

I can't wear long sleeves OR a tie because it sends my body into meltdown, even in the depths of winter.

I need a fan on full blast ALL DAY in my office just to keep me from disintegrating my short sleeved shirt with SWEAT.

Personally however I see no justification for wearing a tie in any non-client-facing role in this day and age. It's just a symbol of capitalist oppression

Only CHAVS leave buttons undone on shirts or polos.

I'd say onlt chavs do their top button up.

I liked it when people used to wear a smart shirt only done up on the top button and a t-shirt underneath Boyz'n'hood-style

That's just given me an idea; short-sleeved suits! Do you think they might catch on in warmer climes?

I'd buy one, for the depths of midwinter only, mind

I think most of has been covered here.

Short sleeved shirt with a tie - wrong
Long sleeved shirt with tie - right

Plus, the tie MUST be tied properly, in a nice triangular double windsor knot.

When you work in a 25 degree office (in winter with radiators turned off) and the dress code is shirt and tie then there isn't much option unless you want to roast!

I work in one of those too - shirt-sleeved shirts are essential. Fortunately, we don't have to wear a tie. I had to put on a peckham for a funeral the other day and realised that I'd forgotten how to tie the damn thing.

Rolled up sleeves also give a nice bit of "padding" for your elbows when you're leaning on your desk.
(not bent over, although I guess that depends on how quickly you want to climb the ladder).

Nothing wrong with ROLLING your sleeves up.

That sort of contradicts your short sleeve arguement though imo. I'm with WW here, if you work in an extremely hot enviroment then sometimes short sleeves are the only option.

If you do venture down the short/rolled-up sleeve shirt route on a hot summer's day, don't you just hate it when your forearms stick to the desk?

Yes, very sticky.

Yep Im with you on that one...

Looking around today there isn't anyone wearing long with tie, plenty of short with tie...including me.

What a state of affairs aye! I was never that vain to worry about it to be honest, might be now you've all started chatting like a group of old women

Damn - someone beat me to it! Did you know I also "invented" the microwaveable hot water bottle? By the time I got round to researching the technical aspects, it was already in the shops!

Short sleeves and ties are well cool... If you like looking like a reject from 'The IT Crowd'


Rolled up and tie is fine, but NOT short sleeves!

Rolled up and tie is fine, but NOT short sleeves!

Correct answer, IMO.

Mind you, my forearms have to be covered up all the time anyway (I have to wear a shirt/tie for my job) but even if I could I wouldn't wear a short sleeved shirt.

absolutely wrong, people have tried doing it where i work, they just get asked " why have you come to work dressed as a f***ing mcdonalds manager".

The short sleeve shirt/tie combo is a bit like wearing trainers with a suit

The short sleeve shirt/tie combo is a bit like wearing trainers with a suit

Or jeans with a suit jacket.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

If wearing a suit how can you tell if it is a short or long sleeved shirt if the sleeves do not show out of the cuffs.

Cuffs should always show from a suit hence a short sleeved shirt with a suit or jacket is a complete no no and should be punishable by death.

the jit is ..wear what you feel comfortable in,. ie . if your 50 60 ish and wanna wear jeans with rips in then so what...forget what other people may think !!
