I think I was surfing a gay men's fashion site today while I was at work [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] (hope I don't get in trouble for that!) Lots of embroidery and strange detailing and tight short sleeves. Here are 3 shirts that caught my eye. What do you think?

I love color on men. Blue is always pretty

(this shirt is actually embroidered.)

Lightweight Seersucker

I like this shirt, casual but colorful. It has a handwoven gauze look.

I think these next two are Marc Jacobs (not positive). I used to hate the pairing of a casual t-shirt with a light jacket but after looking at a whole bunch of these today it's kind of growing on me. Do you hate this look?

I like all of these, Katy.

katy,

First 2: good (i.e. I dress like this). Middle one: meh. Second to last: ugh. Last one: yikes.

Kat,

Blazers look great when paired with casual shirts that are not graphic prints. When the combination goes together the look nearly always says, "look at me, I'm a guy wearing a blazer and cool because I'm toning it down."

In reality this works:

Miss U.,

Hats are utilitarian in the summer and winter serving to protect you from the sun and for the latter, keeping you warm. In reality who is taking a hat with them to work, it becomes impractical, until it's cold.

Of the posted hats, the first two look good, adding mystery to the girls while protecting their eyes.

Cowboy hats for men and women rarely work, usually they are too large or too small relative to hat sizes and head shapes.

It's the same shoe, isn't it?

As I typed out my post, I thought, wow these look similar. Looks like they are! One vote for, no don't get them.

Maulik,

Those blue ones just look like you're walking around in slippers.

Driving shoes.

Driving shoes were developed in the 1960s to serve professional automobile racers. Design behind the driving shoe was simple, reduce material between the clutch, brake and accelerator. Coupled with rubber-nubs, drivers benefited with faster response time. Heel guards were added to prevent premature deterioration from repetitive mashing during competition.

It's not business professional. What's your profession? It my opinion women as a whole don't understand how to dress at semi-business formal.

Maulik,

If you don't mind could you post examples of appropriate business work attire for women who work in an architect firm? I'm interested in your opinion.

Sure, please PM or post links of places to browse women's shoes.
