I can agree with that but does it not look perfectly fine on PG and could it not look perfectly fine on someone else? Given that PG's shirt isn't exactly a PRL oxford. However, I'm aware that a look like this would be completely out of line in a business situation.

Also a shirt collar can be worn unbuttoned:

I like that combo. How about a pic with the collar buttoned and then we can compare?

+1. I'm fighting a losing battle on this on another thread.

looks improper. Why bother with a button down if you are going to use a collar pin?
Faux pas, IMO.

It's not that he's the ultimate arbiter or that he does everything right. It's that he has concoted a look that, in total, really, really works for him. Might not work for everyone.

As for the look in these PRL ads - awful.

Very vintage - I have a friend who rocks this look with some old 20's and 30's era pins and ties - I think it works with modern apparel too like in the pic - cool find!

Agreeing with me too much is a very quick way to get in trouble with the SF orthodoxy, you better watch out.

Probably not, but I agree with you.

In my 20's, as a gag, I actually showed up at work with a noose tie. It did not go over well, and that was back in the 1980's when people had a sense of humour.

Sometimes I do the unbuttoned method, but people keep asking me why my collar is not buttoned. LOL. This did not work for me.

Why do you hate the look of a button down with a tie?
