If I could wear a suit and tie everyday I would. Just saying "business casual" makes me cringe as I hate going to work looking like I'm going to play golf (I'm also not a fan of golf). There is absolute zero style in wearing a polo and khakis. I've tried, to no avail.

And it isn't a matter of showing off, it's that perception is reality and sometimes looking good makes you feel good. I'll take french cuffs, cuff links, a suit, a tie, a tie clip, and black cap toes over bizcazh every day.


Smile: My wife made the best Pasta Puttanesca I've ever had the joy to eat last night. She's not a bad cook by any means, but I was shocked at how well the meal was prepared. Even the noodles were cooked perfectly.

Frown: I've been scratching my face in my sleep a lot lately. I'm now the not proud owner of a three inch gash on my forehead that sticks out like poop in a punch bowl.

I hate dressing up. One of the perks of my job is being able to wear a polo with jeans every day. I find being comfortable is far more productive than looking dressed up.

I work in printed t's and cargos. But I agree with Luke that if you're going to up to business casual I'd rather go all the way to a full suit and look awesome.

Smile: Finally found the right fix for PST so that the game doesn't cause my graphics drivers to freak out when spells are cast.

See, to me it's not dressing up, it's just dressing. I'm more comfortable in a suit than looking like some a-hole that's off to the golf course or to a private school. Seriously, polos are the worst shirts ever. They look sloppier than t-shirts but cost three times as much. They're limp, terrible in quality, way overpriced (even the alligator is thinking "You're fucking kidding me right?") and the collars always look like shit. I have no idea why anyone who has vision and owns a mirror would ever even want to wear a polo. And the words "That's a sexy polo" have never left a woman's lips.

But let me tell you how I truly feel...

SUIT UP!

And the last picture I posted of myself...Yeah, that's my usual casual wear.

I actually agree with you that polos are a hideous piece of clothing, Luke, but having to wear a full suit on a two mile walk to work to teach little Japanese kids, during the Tokyo summers, takes all the fun out of wearing a suit pretty damn quickly.


All polos in the world should be burned, though.

Maybe bow ties too.

Ah, that's one I haven't played in awhile. Do you have it digitally from somewhere? Don't they package it to work with newer gear?

It would help to pretend you're this guy.

But I hear you loud and clear. Summer + Suit - A/C = too hot.
