So your saying you shouldn't dress in a solid bacl button up shirt?

Any "rule" can be broken. For "the clueless", I would stay away from it.

I see you posted in this thread. If you are aware of how it can come off, you may be able to find a way to work it.

Looking for some really sexy black button up shirts to wear on dates

Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend me where to find some really stylish, sexy black button up shirts which I can wear on dates? Any particular brands/websites/places I can find them? I'm thinking to get some which i can get tailored afterwards and where I wear with the top 2-3 buttons...

I used it for years with no problems.

But I recommend colors one red or burgundy over it.

You are probably not one of "the clueless" lol

Here's the waiter look. Notice it's like a basic spread collar dress shirt, similar to a standard shirt to wear with a suit and tie, except black.

Here's a more casual black button up. Ignore the shoes and pants. The collar is not spread. The fabric is more casual and matte (looks like an oxford from the strip along the buttons). Sleeves are rolled. It is also hemmed shorter to be worn untucked.

It's also very important to keep in mind that this is at a FASHION EVENT. He is showing his own collection and is in "artist mode". This is Mr. Posh Spice. He usually wears white and blue for casual, or a white tee and jacket.

Depending on the era too, it used to be a lot more common to dress up for the club. Even basic places sometimes had dress codes. Going black and untucked in a dark, crowded club would blend in better.

vs. tryhard tool:

I always have my sleeves rolled up

I need to get some more colors.

I prefer the slim fit myself. It shows off your figure more.
