    A white shirt is hardly cool and is a bit school boy. A coloured shirt expresses some personality.

    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    depends - if you're invited to any of the admin in the health services you'd go in White or one such subtle shade - if as a prospective sales person in a flashy colored shirt :D if you're going for a clerical job checks lines dots or circles whatever but preferably in white offwhite similar shades - if it were me I'd sneek outside of their office and check what their staff wears but I suppose I'd do that because I'm a girl.

    Phil, you could've posted this in the arms :confused:

    Just make sure you tuck your chest hair away.

    I am going for the summer cream jacket and black trousers.

    All my shirts are clean. I have a matching tie with each of my shirts.

  • Start with throwing the cream shirt away SP...

    Remember this rule of shirts and ties - plain shirt + pattern tie OR pattern shirt + plain tie BUT NEVER pattern + pattern

    I'd agree with the pink tie.. my fav combo is my light grey suit and pin strip pink/white shirt, open collar

    You might want to nip to M&S and have a look at their shirts, i'm sure you can still get nice plain ones for about a tenner. Something like this

    Not necessarily - but you have to have a good eye ;)

    SP, don't bother trying.
