A lot of traditional CM folks will probably balk at this but I think it's time we join the rest of the world (even only for a week) by embracing business casual fridays. Not really business casual as some of us observe it at work or at the airport but more in the veins of MC casual fits. Let's see your creativity, flair, execution, and coherence (MC causal? F yeah!). Collar battle? Spread vs. BD. How do you roll? Rules 1. No ties whatsoever but cravats are allowed 2. Odd jackets or suits are mandatory. Will allow shirt jackets, safari jackets and winter coats. 3. Denim: Shirts are allowed but pants prohibited. NO JEANS 4. Shoes: No flip flops or tennis shoes. Not a rule but please don't bore us with your oxford shoes. 5. Accessories: Encouraged 6. Sprezz optional but highly encouraged 7. Shorts: Forbidden 8. Shirts: Whatever you own is fine with me 9. Full length pics encouraged but not mandatory. Just give us a good idea of what you are wearing Poll will be up 5th of July 12 noon ET and will close 6pm CT 6th of July. Good luck gents and most especially have fun! Will cross post on the other side SWD for more participants Inspiration Odd Jackets

I assure you this was as unintentional as it was not on Friday (I was traveling back home, for work, from the beach, where the rest of my family was vacationing yesterday).

Perhaps I'll give GMM a run for his patch-madras-plaid money tomorrow, but here's today.

This is my first challenge and my first post of my attire, in a non brand specific forum. When I saw this challenge, I knew there was no better time than now. Kept it very casual with linen trousers, linen jacket, and an ocbd. Ditched the watch in favor of bracelets.

Lol, too many solid MC casual posters for that to be entirely plausible. I'm definitely in though, especially since I'll mostly be wearing tie-less outfits this week.
