Orange and green dress shirts?

[Bradford]

WTF - why am I seeing a bunch of guys at my workplace wearing orange or green dress shirts? Is this something that's in style now?

What shade?

I don't know how to describe them, but kind of light - like fall leaves. Here's a similar green Green shirt They're awfully ugly.

I could see it work casually without a tie. With a navy or light grey suit.

Hmmm looks fine to me. Light green works well with navy (as does orange).

Or even a tan cotton suit

I remember seeing someone wear an orange gingham shirt with a navy suit in WAYWT. Looked very cool.

Very likely. I remember seeing that light Orange Gingham and Navy suit, along with I believe a Navy (polka dot?) knit tie. Sharp look!

I picked up a nice green gingham dress shirt on B&S last month. Looks really nice with a navy suit and navy knit tie IMO.

Not the post I was thinking of, but it's more recent. Nice way of pulling off an orange shirt.

Orange and green are two prongs of a color triad, so it makes sense that they could work nicely together. Of course, orange is often so saturated that this becomes difficult, but definitely workable.

I would do orange before green but I agree. Particularly like the look PG pulls off.
