Really, sandals with hose is a never? Is that a texas thing or true in the northwest too?
I love wearing sandals. I hate hose but where I work hose is required. If I pay by your rules I will never get to wear my sandals -- say it isn't so.

We are not allowed to wear capris at work, and I have always wondered why. Maybe it is because they are worried what people will wear with them. It all makes sense now.

Okay, so how about this one...reinforced toe pantyhose or knee highs with sandals? I say it is a fashion don't but have several women around here that do it!
NOOOOOOO! *NO* stockings with sandals/open toed shoes! That is a HUGE fashion faux pas.
Definitely think one needs polished toenails with open toed shoes (without stockings of course!)

Hey wait, wingtips and jeans with a polo is NOT a fashion error. Have you not heard that you can tell how much money a man makes, no matter if he's casually dressed or dressed for work by looking at his shoes and his watch? I'm sorry, but a man who wears nice shoes with his jeans is a well dressed man. Now for the woman who wears the knee socks with her capris. She is apparently planning on a golf outting right after work and has no time to change. (or she's an idiot)

Disagree, sorry. It is still possible to wear nice and appropriate shoes without looking like you left your other shoes in the car. I'm not saying he should wear sneakers but a nice pair of loafers or TopSiders is far more appropriate for the casualness of jeans + polo than wingtips, which just make him look like a poseur.

I disagree about the polish on the toenails. Clean, well shaped and cared for toenails do NOT need polish. Fingernails and toenails start turning yellow when you wear polish all the time (lack of oxygen), so that after a while you have no choice but to wear it.

Waldensouth, I used to think this as well, but what I found is that leaving nails bare for a few days to let them rest is a common myth. Fingernails are made of dead cells, and they don't need to breathe. They turn yellow from the polish yes, but because a good quality base coat is not used. Try it, use a good (not cheap) basecoat and you will find you can wear polish 24/7/365 without your nails turning yellow.

I agree too. Clean, well-groomed toenails do not need to be polished. I think brightly polished toenails do not look professional although it is fine for outside of work.

So are you saying if he has money whatever he wears is ok and fashionable?
not necessarily, it's just that the amount of money a man has is directly proportional to his dorkiness

OK, here is a fashion question…
Which is more fashionable for men? Wearing a white crewneck tee or a colored crewneck tee under a colored oxford or polo shirt (with the top button or two open)? Or no tee (maybe an A-shirt)?

William, I think that's an age thing. Personally, I always wear a white or grey crewneck. With a polo, or any shirt without a tie, I always leave the top button only unbuttoned.
A lot of older guys would never wear a t-shirt you could see, and that means either a v-neck or wifebeater or no t-shirt. I personally never understood the wifebeater - it's not going to keep you from sweating through in your pits, anyway. And I hate the no t-shirt look. I guess the v-neck is ok, but it's not my preference - I don't want anything that will show chest hair.

Actually, the question is not only about the wingtips, but more accurately, Why Jeans? For a well-dressed man, jeans are for yardwork and little else (i.e., a rock concert). If there was some occaision where wingtips were remotely appropriate, jeans would not be. Any man with enough resources to own nice shoes and an expensive watch sould know enough to realize that chinos paired with bucks or loafers would be much better with a polo shirt than jeans and/or wingtips.

So, what about goths who wear expensive clothing all over but it doesn't follow current "fall into the GAP" fashion standards?

Trivia question regarding the "no t-shirt" look:
What movie, many, many years ago had its protagonist remove his shirt to reveal that he was not wearing a t-shirt thereby influencing men across the country to stop wearing t-shirts. Manufacturer of t-shirts actually felt the financial impact when men (or their wives) in the U.S. bought fewer t-shirts.
