Suits/Blazers and T-Shirts
I’ve seen a lot of guys wearing t-shirts with suits, suit jackets, and blazers. What are you thoughts on this? When is this look appropriate? And what t-shirt styles/colors go with what kind of jackets and suits?
I see it somewhat frequently among members of the hipster crowd, typically a graphic tee matched with a pinstriped blazer. It’s a young person look, not intended to seem professional. I don’t mind it. What annoys me is the style’s older, more mature cousin: shirts intended to be worn with suits that are worn by men in a business setting. I’ve never considered any kind of T-shirt, regardless of fit or material, to be an acceptable substitute for a traditional button-front. T-shirts and blazers can be done casually, but nothing more.

LikeDislikeI think Goodminton nailed this one. It’s fine for casual and social outfits, but avoid it in business dress. Can be a good look if you know you’re going to be dealing with a trendy, fashion-forward crowd and you don’t want to seem stiff.
