Hi there

My first post here so this may be the wrong section? Anyway I recently purchased a new shirt I quite like:

Anyway I figured you guys would know what to wear with this shirt that'd look good, as I really can't decide. Any shared knowledge will be much appreciated.

looks best running erands delivering boxes to people's house

so therefore goes quite well with brown shorts and sturdy sneakers.

It wouldn't hurt to drive a boxy truck at the same time.

I'm no expert but that is far from khaki.

+1 Who let all you bitches out of SW&D? The man asked a reasonable question and he deserves a reasonable -- and polite -- answer. This kind of shirt is not really something this forum would approve. Having said that, you might be able to work it into a casual outfit that would do for the weekend, maybe with a Barbour jacket and some chukka boots. Is it really this color?

Too many buttons and too formal to be casual. The color makes it too odd to be formal.

The color is ghastly hard to match with anything worthwhile. It pretty much puts it in the "only with goofy/outrageous pants category."

it's the general knee jerk reaction to these kind of drive by threads. In most forums, especially big ones like this, it's very bad manners to start a thread before you've made a post or even read through the forum.

After all the other less welcoming replies...

I have brown shirt (PRL) that is a lighter shade than that and has a suede shoulder patch for the butt of a rifle. I find it goos well with casual and weekend looks with a pair of jeans and a suede jacket.

That being said, you posted in the wrong section as this is more "casual" than what people here are used to.

I have read the forums before.

I said the shirt was khaki because that's what the label says. It was only £13 so I don't exactly expect it to be awesome lol.

Your best bet is this:

or some dark blue jeans IMO
