No white socks with black shoes, no tie-dye, no short sleeved dress shirts. - The Death Sceire Jan 21, 08:14
No men's boot cut jeans, no cargo pants, and no short sleeve dress shirts (short sleeve button downs that are stylish and not dress shirts are okay) -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 08:01 14
- I'm ok with boot cut, only because my calves are fairly large and straight leg they're...tight. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:10
- What's wrong with boot cut jeans?! -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 08:03 11
  - No one needs that much room in the leg. Straight fit are fine, boot cut looks awful. -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 08:04 7
    - Straight fits might as well be jeggings for me. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:06

    - If you've seen me in person you know that isn't the case :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 08:04
  - He prefers bell bottoms. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 08:03

My two unbreakable rules for my clothes: No raglan sleeves. Pants must always have pockets. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 08:00
No polo shirts for me, I just can't pull it off. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 07:54 7

Never is not even strong enough of a term for it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 07:42
I was forced to wear short sleeve dress shirts and a tie after I broke my wrist last fall. I felt like an extra from Apollo 13. -- nm - ML Jan 21, 07:40 4

For years, friends swore to me that short sleeve button downs were not allowed at all. - ty97 Jan 21, 07:39 16

    - A suit. -- nm - Japan Jan 21, 07:46 1

  - my dad still does... -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:43
- I don't mind short sleeves, they're nice when it hits 40C here, I just can't wear a tie with one. - mafic Jan 21, 07:42 1
  - I agree with all of this -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 07:43
