Short sleeved shirt with a tie: yea or nay?

[BarcaDeac]

And would you wear that to a wedding?

(inspired by the CT)

 

[RacerDeac]

Hell to the no.

Bow tie?

 

[KitchinDeac]

Not acceptable unless you are a high school math teacher or work in IT.

 

[awakeandready]

May not be my style but to a wedding with a bunch of friends who cares? It won't be as hot.

Or an old-ass detective

AWAR gets it. I'm gonna be STYLIN' and comfortable.

 

[bmoneydeac]

You'll be comfortable, I'll grant you that.

DONK

Where is the option for "if it has more than 3 buttons, it shoudn't be short-sleeve"?

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Have some dignity: roll your sleeves up instead of taking fashion advice from Dwight Schrute.

You mean the Andy Sipowicz?

As a 98 lb weakling, I don't have the upper body to pull it off. I would not wear it to a wedding unless I hit the gym every day for the next two years and got rid of my damn tinkertoy elbows.

To the question of donk or bro, I would say it all depends on the person wearing it. If the person wearing it initially went through Brasky's thought process of whether or not it was donk or bro, it's likely bro. If the person has a closet full of short-sleeve dress shirts and wears them because he doesn't know better, it's likely donk.

That said, my go-to is always the long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. When I'm at work, just above the wrist and with tie. If I'm going out, maybe just below the elbow, and if I'm feeling particularly ambitious, above the elbow (or if the shirt has a button strap keeping the sleeves rolled up)

I think when people see you pull up in your 91 Firebird with Rush blaring out of your after-market Jensen, they'll give you a pass on the sleeves/tie.

So is this for an outdoor wedding? If so, the answer is obvious and as old as people have been wearing suits.

Suit for the ceremony
Drop the jacket if it gets long or as the reception starts
Roll up the sleeves once the reception gets going

A small set of fashion forward individuals could pull it off and make it look BRO. Brasky cannot - much like the bulk of us - cannot.

DONK

A definite no for a wedding.

But for work and stuff, WGAF.
