French cuffs w/jeans at work?

[Holstein Bilter]

I noticed a lot of financial district folks w/french cuffs
jeans and casual shoes.

How do you all feel about that look?

Also..undershirt less as well.

 

[Brian278]

No.

Jacket-ed or jacket-less? I wouldn't do it either way, but I could see it working for some if they wore a jacket and the jeans were not too casual. I guess its either a statement that you like to mix casual and formal, or you didn't have any clean button down shirts that day... lol

I would say.... no.

Unless you are a 25-year old CEO in Moscow

No. I view french cuff shirts as a formal piece. So, wear them with a suit please.

 

[sho'nuff]

terrible look.

 

[Nouveau Pauvre]

Indeed. Though for a less extreme version I do like a slim-fit possibly rumpled contrast collar/cuff shirt with jeans.

$10 says the look is also leaves out the use of a tie. Hopefully with a bit of undershirt showing.

At a serious bank or other financial/law/office, I'd say no.

If the workplace is more casual, like a newspaper/magazine, it's fine.

While I don't subscribe to the idea, I don't think it's too egregious if done on a casual day, with dark wash, well fitting jeans, and a sport coat. At least for those in a 'creative industry', to use an overdone expression.

I have seen alot of french cuffed casual shirts these days being produced by kenneth cole and the like. I guess if your metro enough then it would be ok.

I'm sure this will win me no points here - negative points in fact - but I wear this quite a bit. They are classic 501s and decent quality shirts (no Kenneth Cole, mostly Thomas Pink, some MTM). I wear Aldens or AEs with 'em. Sometimes a tie, usually a knit, once in a while a bow tie, sometimes no tie.

Yes, I work in an advertising agency. Sometimes I wear a suit. Sometimes I wear a t-shirt.

Oh and to make things worse, I'm in my 40s, not my 20s.

As of yet, the sky has not fallen.

I am a 25-year old CEO in Moscow, and I would not wear that.

Just saying.

No, if I were a 25 year-old CEO in Moscow, Idaho, I would definitely wear that.

Just saying.
