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!

Wearing a pocket clip for your cell phone is a great way to repel all those women who'd otherwise throw themselves at your feet.
A white shirt is conservative and tasteful. A white shirt every day is a sign of OCD.
You're not the Professor are you? If you are, let introduce myself... I'm Thurston Howell's illegitimate son, and I know you know where he stashed his dough, so start talkin or I'll start suin.
PS: As to the suit, nothing says guidance counselor like a white point collar shirt. I suggest trying Thomas Pink or Charles Tyrwhitt online.
