    A suit without the tie is just a bit too "Irish Navvy"/Rab C Nesbitt

      I'll have you know my crimpolene suit and bri-nylon shirt is the height of sartorial elegance!

            I'd prefer to.
            It's not always practical and some firms I've worked for have had dress down Fridays. If I'm commuting weekly on the train or plane, dress down days are a nuisance ... it's just an extra outfit to shlep.

                A lumberjack shirt, a short sleeved shirt, a poncy shirt with flap button down breast pockets these are all not real shirts.

                A real shirt is a decent shirt with cuffs and a collar that can be worn with a tie and a suit.

                any shirts that have sticky up collars to be worn with a bow-tie should only be worn at a proper black or white tie function and not at chav weddings

                HTH

                  They often are told what to wear; 50% navy polyester / 50% tattie sack 'corporate-identity-wear'. Sorry, but what's the point in having a corporate identitiy like that when nearly every other trade firm that has corporate identity wear has the same navy polo shirt & combat trousers combo?

                  Sod that, I'd wear something more tailored..
