Do you pretty much only wear white shirts?

God forbid! I wear white shirts with formal outfits, and for the occasional dash of white in my outfits. But for the rest, I happily wear blue (in all patterns and shades) and lilac shirts.

i have about 3 white shirts, 8 blue shirts (in various shades, weights, and weaves), and the rest are an assortment of colors/patterns.

I find myself not wearing white shirts these days, because my office is business casual, and no one wears ties. Since I don't want to wear ties if no one else does, I find white shirts too boring when tieless.

I only have 2 white shirts to wear to funerals and black tie events. The rest are coloured solids and stripes.

I own one white dress shirt though I will get around to ordering one nice white BD one of these days.

Given that a colored shirt is probably one of the easiest ways to introduce color in a more formal setting, I almost never wear a white shirt.

Too limiting! I have 2 white shirts in my regular rotation, 1 pink, no blues (gasp) and the rest are patterns - stripes and checks.

Regular rotation:

4 whites
2 light blue
1 med blue
1 purple
1 purple/white striped
1 blue/yellow striped
1 blue/red/white checked
1 brown/blue/white checked

I own several white shirts (8 at last count) and a good number of light blue shirts (7 at last count).

If I've to dress in formals, I usually wear only one of those two.

On the other hand, if it is business casual wear, or just a sport coat, then I wear my more eclectic collection of shirts in a plethora of colors and patterns.

White shirts look good with a blazer even without a tie.

Love-hate best describes me too. I don't wear white too often, but when I need them, they are there. And this morning, I needed one -- especially against heavily saturated suit and tie colors, white was just the perfect thing.

Oh, and I own about 6 broadcloth whites and 4 oxford cloth whites (no BDCs).

3 white shirts. 1 barrel, 1 french cuff, one linen. Then I have about 50 other shirts in colors, stripes, plaids, you name it.
