I don't have a digital camera, but I'll take it home for Christmas and see if I can get some pics taken while I'm wearing it and post them.

The colour, or the contrasting collar/cuff? The latter is pretty classic, as you should know of all people.

+1

I could see myself sacrificing the pink for a cream/ecru.

That toned blue shirt color which as drizzt pointed out, is the emblem of "GQ'ing" Asians and their silver ties, poshing it up at second-rate clubs and leaving a trail of Honda tire tracks, hair products and Aqua di Gio.

Haha I was referring to them wearing them for interviews and office attire, but I suppose some do go to clubs after work

Those shirts, along with Kenneth Cole type shoes, seem to be the mainstays for both interviews and club-attire; sort of the go to dress up wear.

That's very true. I think some of them will reach for the striped shirt for the club, though

Good thing Asians aren't huge on velvet blazers, so far (although I saw an Asian guy rocking one at Santa Anita on Sunday)

blue and then perhaps a mauve. Cream is nice, pink is fine. Of course, there are so many good blues -- ice blue, sky blue, saxe blue...

Thanks RJman

White is exceptional for funerals, at least in Europe.

Your choice is excellent.

White, light blue, cream. I prefer cream at the moment since it's not as ubiquitous as the other two.
