The Great Shirt and Tie Battle of 2009

[MrDaniels]

This is fun...two guys at an office had a competition to see who could wear the best shirt/ tie combos for a month. You may not agree with all the style choices, but you have to admire their spirit:

Too bad the ties weren't properly worn.

That's the problem. Clothes shouldn't be fun. Fun ties, fun shirts, fun socks . . . all bad.

God, they're all terrible. And could the guy on the left not please button the top button of his shirt?

This was quite the **** show.

The linked site is way too fratboyish for me. But

, your comments deserve attention.

I agree with you on this point:

But, this is just wrong:

Most of us here really enjoy our clothing. Based on your level of activity on this forum, I assumed you did too.

Of course, I enjoy clothing--I'm being perjoratively selective with my interpretation of 'fun'. It's one thing to enjoy the process of refining and honing one's style, and another to be playing dress-up. In my opinion, these guys have terrible taste and the 'fun' they appear to be having is more posturing than genuine.

A twist on the ugly-tie contests of old? Love it! XD

They look like crap... like a cheap rip-off of Trepanier.

I agree. Fun pants, on the other hand, are a good thing.
