The verdict is still out for me. I've always thought button down shirts were meant to have long sleeves, polos and tees were for warmer weather. What do you think?
-
Nope. Hate them. They scream "back office clerks in the 1980's".
-
No. They are horrible.
-
Not a fan at all!
-
I have two words.... Dwight Schrute.
DH has a few, but he wears them under sweaters in the winter
-
I'm not a fan, although DH does have a couple (literally 2) that I like on him.
-
No thanks!
-
My husband wears them, so I guess I like them fine! Some more than others though... He doesn't tuck them in so I try to buy the ones not meant to be tucked. He used to wear polos more but doesn't like them as much.
-
I like them. In the right style as colour.
ETA - NEVER tucked in
-
Nooo. I like long sleeved ones rolled up, but not short sleeves. My dad wears them. Usually with Hawaiian flowers on them...
-
For work? No!
For play? Yes, DH has a few that are patterned and nhave pockets in the front. The shirts are clearly for going out and show off his muscles nicely.
-
DH has a couple linen ones I bought for him from Old Navy or somewhere similar....I think he looks pretty good in them
But the short sleeve button shirts you'd wear to the office with a tie a la Dwight Schrute? Nope, not a fan!!
-
Depends on the style. With jeans and the right shoes, they're very 90s skater to me. Sk8r?!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: "He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy..."
-
I generally don't like them and think they look dorky. DH usually wears long sleeve shirts with the sleeves rolled up. But he did buy one from Old Navy I thought was ok, it was a very casual plaid button down. I think it's really dorky when it's more of a dress shirt with short sleeves a la Dwight Schrute.
-
This is the style shirt my DH wears, very casual with jeans/shorts, un tucked, no tie. It looks better on!
-
DH has one and I'm not the biggest fan of it, but thankfully he doesn't wear it much.
-
@petunia354: that's not bad! I'm thinking this:
-
Hehe. DH wears them to work everyday in the summers. He also works in IT. Actually I'm pretty sure he always wore either a short sleeve button down or a long sleeve one rolled up when I first met him. It was part of his look, and I thought he looked cute.
Example:
-
@petunia354: I actually like that one!
-
@petunia354: That's how DH wears them too!
He just got this one recently and I actually really like it on him.... I think Old Navy has a good selection short sleeve button ups that are acceptable in my book.
-
I think my DH has a few and can pull them off, but they aren't my favorite look...
-
@MrsTiz: lol! yeah, this is NOT a good look!!
-
depends. hahah @looch: it screams dorky office guy to me!
-
@runsyellowlites: agreed, I get a lot of DH's stuff at Old Navy!
-
Nope!! DH would never wear one either. Short sleeves are polo or tshirts. Button ups are always long sleeved and in the summer just rolls them up so they are more like 3/4 sleeves.
-
I think it depends on the exact style, but typically no. I don't mind polo/golf shirts though.
-
Yep, DH wears Dickies brand or other punk/skater style button downs with short sleeves and they look great on him!
-
hate them!
-
@yin: I think your husband is pulling that look off! I do think it looks better with patterned shirts instead of solids.
-
I rewatched Dawson's Creek on netflix last summer so that's all I can think of: http://a.abcnews.com/images/Entertainment/gty_dawsons_creek_cast_lpl_120716_wb.jpg
haha
-
Not a fan. I love the look of long-sleeve button down with sleeves rolled up. The worst is short-sleeve button down with a tie!!
-
No -- they remind me of Dwight on The Office.
-
No, unless it's like the one posted by @petunia354:!
-
Hate them on grown men, remind me of Dwight on the Office! Wear a polo
-
It depends on the style. DH has some pretty classy ones that I can get behind. But I don't like the ones that are just a regular business button down shirt with the sleeves lobbed off.
-
DH is going to be pleased that the Bees approve of his wardrobe!
-
DH has a few that are various colors of plaid. I like them!
-
I like them, when they are slim-fit and worn untucked with slim jeans. I don't like them when they are boxy or baggy and/or worn untucked.
Three "good" examples and one "bad" example.
-
@petunia354: I'm a fan! My DH has a few of these as well, and I think he looks good in them!
The Dwight Schrute kind? No...I don't like them.
