Sartorial elegance question

[schmalex]

Plain black suit. Which colour shirt & tie? (not white & red - did that today)

[V8mate]

Change the suit - unless you're an undertaker or sommelier

[Gargamel]

White shirts are for waiters and airline pilots

Black suit, black shirt and black tie.
I wore that to a wedding a few weeks ago and got loads of nice comments.
And only two "funeral" "jokes".

Are ou going to a function where lounge suit is required?

If not, I wouldn't wear a black suit - not quite right for a business environment.

Black suit, black shirt and black tie.

Add a pair of Dealer boots and you'll look like a pikey at a court appearance

I think he was confusing it with the saying that 'short-sleeved shirts are for manual workers and pilots'

Fair point

And I know that many an IT worker considers a white shirt with a few pens and perhaps a small screwdriver stuffed in the breast pocket to be fabulous business attire, but I personally don't like white shirts

I prefer red stripey shirts with Dollar sign braces obviously .....
