That is just what you wear. As for shirts, I simply wear white dress shirts, except on Friday, when I either wear a blue dress shirt or a golf shirt - usually a golf shirt now that I think about it. And (because this was a topic yesterday when I was wearing one), there is nothing wrong with short sleeve button down shirts in the summer, but you should only wear white unless it is Friday. I realize this may not be fashion forward or whatever, but men basically have no choice. That is what we have to wear to get away with business casual attire. Not that I am complaining. It makes shopping super easy, and I never really worry about what I am going to wear. I agree that wearing the cell phone hanging from the waist is not the most attractive, but the alternative - having this huge lump in your pocket - is worse, so I wear it in the little waist-band holster. I used to think it was dorky, but now pretty much everyone dies it - it is normal.
Again, this is work attire, not club wear. It is a different standard and guys just do not really have a choice as to what to wear. Just like on court days, we wear suits - duh!

Why is it that suddenly all pants are "relaxed fit"? I went to J Crew and searched the whole stroe a few days ago and could not find slim or regular fitting pants (I''m rather thin of leg and ass). So I went to Banana Republic. Same problem - no regular or slim fitting pants. So I go up to the counter and say jokingly "Are all your customers fat? Why no regular guy pants?" The salesman (a skinny guy) said to me "You know, I've been wanting to know the same thing. Its a real pain in the ass to find pants that aren't baggy").
I wound up buying these weird low cut pants because they're the only slim fitting pants I could find at BR. They're nice, but they only had them in one color, so I can't even get multiple pairs.
S(what's with this baggy pant shit?)D
