Faux Pas
Fellas, as the dog-days of summer approach, the commute to work takes on a whole new meaning. Whether you take the T, the bus, drive, or walk to work, it’s likely you’re gonna cut a sweat at some point. However, that’s what the AC is for when you get to the office. Do not let the heat impinge on your dignity and make you resort to wearing bowling-alley-style threads. Please—I beg you—do not make the same mistake the two choads above did. Lose the short sleeve dress shirt. I can’t emphasize this enough. A short sleeve dress shirt, with or without a tie, makes you look like a turkey. In my opinion, you lose all credibility the second you put it on. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can pull it off with success. I know it gets hot out there, and we certainly don’t all have the luxury of creeping out girls at the beach with Suds Monday through Friday, but stick to the long sleeves if you have any self-respect. I'll be back with some thoughts on linen shirts later in the week.

Lets not forget about others who rock the short sleeve dress shirt... Homer Simpson, most of the cast of OfficeSpace (Bob Slydell and Michael Bolton, especially), and 80% of middle-management in your office right now.
