Red shirt

[MikeF]

Through inadvertence, I ordered a cherry red french cuff shirt with a cutaway collar. It looks as odd as it sounds. Any suggestions as to how I might get away with wearing it? I was thinking unbuttoned, with a charcoal suit.

Mine's what I would call blood red, but anyway... Red looks good with navy, black (a tuxedo for example, if you aren't big on rules), gray. Or wear it under a sweater.

Hmmm, that's an interesting take on Rene Magritte's The Son of Man

Somehow, this is immediately what sprung to mind when I read the title.

I have a RLPL red/white striped shirt with a white keaton (xtreme cutaway) collar. I wear it with a gray suit, navy tie with small red polka dots and a neat white linen pocketsquare.

The tie is quite a bit lighter than the shirt, it just doesn't look it in the picture.
