Have your students made remarks about your dress?

What's wrong with French cuffs here?

I do wear them with everything though.

After all of this and now you throw this winger in here... Even me, mr. white shirt has shied away from French cuffs.

Meh, I do like FCs with a suit. I try to shy away from them with SCs, but sometimes it happens.

Wearing a FC blue shirt with a checked SC today.

I'm with aravanel and Foo on this one -- I think FCs are fine (why not?), though I do tend to wear them with suits more than (if at all) with a sports jacket, but yes, it might happen.

i like FCs but they never seem to be comfortable for me. i think i would need to go bespoke to really be happy with a FC.

As long as it doesn't wing out of the sweater, I think this collar looks good without stays.

Yeah, I prefer most collars without stays. Gives a much nicer roll around the tie knot. Some shirts don't take well to this, but most are fine.

In this particular example, I think it looks just fine without the stays.

interesting, i always wear stays. they are the thin, very pliable, plastic ones. i feel they give the collar the structure i want, while not making it look too rigid. horses for courses of coure.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I haven't worn them in years.

Dangerously, I couldn't find anything really wrong with what I wore today. I'd like to hear the opinions of those who know more than me, though. The square stands out a little bit, I guess, but I don't think it's bad. Any advice or suggestions would be great.

Let's see how I do.

Button up that collar, you are no Italian tycoon

90% of the time, I do. I just felt like doing this today. This shirt doesn't have a very nice roll to the collar, anyway. It's almost certainly better taste to button it.

And let's be real, I'm more cut out for "ne'er-do-well scion of an Italian tycoon" than anything else.

What's the matter with silk knots?! C., I'm beginning to question your sanity.

Silk knots are sad placeholders for what could have been.
