polo shirts are never as horrible as the khakis that they are paired with.

They always make yr butt look big and yr package look small.

not that I get a casual friday, but if I did, I'd be forced to wear a polo shirt.

THIS is how u do casual friday. Notice NO f-ing polo shit. (I left the 'r' out on purpose)

Savage Clone · 08.24.2009, 12:13 PM

Working at a job that has a "casual Friday" is a bigger problem than what to wear on said Friday.

loubarret · 08.24.2009, 12:16 PM

That looks like I even would wear that and I mostly wear band t-shirts and some ragged jeans.

not if they tell you "polo and khakis"! it doesn't really matter to me though. they did away casual friday here, a few years. too many came in jeans and tennis shoes.

I'm just thankful that "mandatory tie" hasn't been reinstated.

although, I'm willing to be anyone's fashion bitch for the right price.

I wouldn't mind working at a place where Casual Friday meant you had to cut your head off before coming to work like that, I guess.

Stepped into nest of them once. Couldn't get my clothes off fast enough. Later poured some gasoline down their hole and lit them muthas. SWAOOOOSH the flame came out their back door hole several feet away. What a blast!

gmku · 08.24.2009, 12:55 PM

The trouble with the way most men wear polos is that they wear them too big and tucked in. They should fit slim and be left untucked.

Regarding khakis/chinos, the big sin most men commit is wearing them pleated instead of plain front, and again, wearing them too baggy instead of more slim.

But yeah, generally, polos and khaki-colored khakis or chinos are not a good mix. Get into different colors, like white, grey, olive, blue, chinos they go much better together. For most of us, polos are easiest to do with jeans or at least jean-like pants. My favorite combo is a navy (slim-fitted) polo and white jeans.

floatingslowly · 08.24.2009, 12:59 PM

yes, but white jeans make it hard to hide the cheese-doodle stains.

gmku · 08.24.2009, 01:00 PM

Meh, why hide them? I display them proudly.

I wear only long-sleeve buttondowns at work--you wear long sleeves, you automatically have rank over those who don't. It's psychological.

But in my off hours during the summer, I wear practically nothing but polos. Figure if they were good enough for JFK, they're good enough for me.

What, married a beautiful woman and had sex with Marilyn Monroe? I could think of worse fates.

I can't offer anything in this thread, except to say that my perennial problem with winter jackets is that I can't get away with something like this:

and everything else seems a bit pointless next to not having that jacket.

Similarly, this:

would make me look particularly Hoxton (which would be especially a problem as my hair is currently somewhere between bobo and Hoxton twat).

I have a military thing, you see?
