Considering that during the England Vs. Canada conflict of late 2006, I swore you posted a picture of a skinny white boy in the urinals and said it was you doggy,

but then followed up with a picture of a smiling atractive black man in glasses a few weeks back to much critical acclaim, I'm going to say.........

You paid too much and you're gay.

Thanks for asking.

^^Hee, hee...But honestly, do you really wanna look like a midlle-management hyundai engineer! ...

i forgot to mention that. its a thin line between what im talking about and that. i got a dope hounstooth linen shirt the other day that im thinking would be great with some garbadine trousers and a skinny cotton tie. fuck it im stealing a tie today, i am gonna make this work.

[isdenn]

short sleeves + tie = no.

just cuff the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt.

Hardbody Son! No lie No homo flyboys ride solo.

(yes.)

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

that's whatsup tho. chubby chaser.

[kenthenoob]

personally, i think it's neat. kind of like something from 'office' or 'office space.'

[daikonyama]

Yeah, I dunno - personally either Hal from Malcolm in the Middle or emo kids come to mind with the short sleeve/tie combo. Could potentially be done right though I suppose.

It's a hipster affectation. It was sort of trendy in 2000 or so (actually, Cloak, in it's first incarnation, had this sort of geek chic vibe,) and has popped in and out since then. Very Thom Browne. I personally think that it looks too affected, but even so, have seen some guys do it. It helps to be *really* skinny. I am 5'11" and just shy of 155 lbs, and I'm too big to pull this off convincingly.

i just tried it out on my lunch break and you are absolutely right on all counts.

[triniboy27]

Don't do it - you'll look like the manager of a fastfood operation.

Ties should be worn as they were intended - fuck this emo hipster Avril Lavigne bullshit. Those ppl look like ass too regardless of how skinny they are.

I've rocked the tie and a short sleeve cardi before, it was nice..... but I had my breasts hanging out, so I could pretty much get away with anything.

[mike lowrey]

pics of aforementioned outfit?

[hollaforadolla]

short shirt + tie look reminds me of ryan gossling in half nelson. awesome look if done right.

[mis]

Please no polos

[wEstSidE]

Lol Wut???

I don't see the point of doing this. It's not a good idea.

[angrypork]

Yeah usually when I think of short sleeves and ties I think of someone who drives their Dodge Stratus home from their accounting job and eats Hungry Man TV dinners.

But hey, I guess it can be pulled off.

[homme.homme]

I'm all for this.

Think small scale floral shirt + tonal skinny tie + tonal suspenders.

Worn with trousers or jeans rolled to ankle + low/slim shoes.

[arthur]

I say it's cool as long as you can do it like raf ss05 did it:

[NESK]

^^^ that looks like shit. but it can be done.

[jours]

It's too hot to wear long sleeves to work. Even if it looks goofy.

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

what the fuck? i hope thats a (10)

^ The short sleeve and tie combo bothers me less than the untucked shirt. I honestly cannot stand when people wear ties and don't tuck in their shirts.

But back to the tie plus short sleeve combo. I think it is a look that can work, although I'm sure it rarely does. I might have to give it a try now that it is summer (and I too like wearing ties more these days).

I totally agree. I want to smack people that does that.

[Double D]

Nicked off the Topman website. Thoughts?

[bronsnine]

No. just no. in my opinion, this rarely works, and even then it's only decent.

[mellowbonsai]

Wear a normal shirt, roll up the sleeves, you'll look like less of a jackass.
