Does anyone else think that it’s odd that a photo of a man who was president in 1909 is copyrighted in 2005?

Ironing the shirts? Brilliant!

Those guys with the long ties can’t use the “tip of the tie at the belt” rule since they aren’t wearing belts.

Oh ya, collar stays are a must. And if you threw them out, you can buy just collar stays without the shirts.

As a rather large guy myself, my belt (depending on the pants) digs into the stomach and can cause a little bit of pain. However, I do wear a belt no matter what. Belt and shoes do match. I do have brown and black in both. But some people, just don’t get it. Get a wife or someone who will not let you out of your house looking like an A-Hole please. There is a guy, early 30s in my office who still rocks the corduroy pants. It is awesome.

Undershirt is a must in my wardrobe. I have a ton of plain white t’s (not the musical group) in my dresser and wear them under dress shirts, t-shirts, sweat shirts, etc.

Color coordinated socks is a must and I agree on the skin. Do not show it, no one wants to see your legs dude.

I do have another that I have seen a couple times this week. Long ties. I have seen three different guys, of three different statures with ties at least 4″-6″ past their belt. Are you serious? Who taught you that?

Try some starch spray when you iron then Tron. That should help with the curl.

I’ve a couple shirts that don’t take collar stays. You can’t really tell when you buy them if they come all wrapped up. However they do have a built in framework that makes up for it. I also have a couple shirts that actually reject collar stays. The collar curl is so bad that it actually starts to force the stays out of their slots. Maybe I should throw them out.

From a female perspective, I think the worst problem is the lack of undershirt. Especially when you then decide to leave a couple of the top buttons unbuttoned…gross. Especially, when you’re stuck in the 80′s, have a mullet, and use self tanner…double gross…Deuce knows who I’m talking about.

I could do this article about women too. Mostly, I hate when women wear heels higher than they know how to walk in. Their attempt to look hot by wearing 5 inch heels is negated by the choppy half-stumble they do trying to walk anywhere.

Also, since I work with engineers, I commonly see the black shoes/blue pants combination. It makes me sad. When I say something to the guilty parties about their gaffe and they don’t understand my complaint, it makes me even sadder.
