Hey Guys!
Vuitton here. Some of you probably didn’t know, but I work at a bank during the day. Shocking…I know. Since I’m but a meek and lowly teller, the males aren’t required to wear blazers or suits, so long sleeve button-downs and neckties are the norm. Most people look ok, but one of my co-workers wears a get up very similar to the following…
That’s right a short sleeve shirt and tie. No bueno.
This is archaic and just needs to stay under the rock from whence it came. For a more professional and albeit, up to date look in the office (pun somewhat intended), long-sleeve shirts are the best way to go.
Take your cues from Mr. President himself, Will Smith, and Idris Elba…
Need more tips? Here are a few for staying on course in the workplace.
1) Oversized dress shirts are never okay. They make you look bulky and short. It should always fit close to the body. It if doesn’t, you can always take it to a tailor to have the fit adjusted.
2) Make sure patterns on ties are subtle, but eye catching. Polka-dots, paisley, and stripes would definitely be your best bet.
3) While wearing a striped or gingham shirt, it would be best to rock it with a solid colored tie or a tie with small dots. Contrasting patterns with complimentary colors do a good ensemble make.
4) Wear it with confidence! It’s everyone’s goal to make a statement when they enter a room. Just make sure that all eyes are on you in a good way.
Now I know what my co-worker needs if I get his name for Secret Santa: a year long subscription to GQ Magazine. If you guys out there need help, too, here are a few suggestions:

Great post! I absolutely HATE to see men in short sleeve dress shirts and ties. I call that the Homer Simpson. And who wants to dress like him? LOL. Good job Vuitton
I’m glad someone said it! I hate the short-sleeved shirt and tie look. Reminds me of Al Bundy from the show Married With Children.
It cracks me up when I see a man with a short sleeve button up!
Good post! :)
I co-sign the comment made about the short sleeve dress shirts and ties. That should be strictly reserved for little boys under the age of 5. I despise that to the nth degree!!!!
Nice one, stay away from the short sleeve dress shirts… ugly look!
