Item number 1: The half-zip jumper… Sorry, I’ve just kind of… given up.

    bosstrabs they still have a place in my work wardrobe. I don’t wear suits anymore so in the winter some chinos with a half zip jumper does the trick.

      RichM some chinos with a half zip jumper does the trick

      Sorry Rich, but this is exactly what I am referring to.

      Rich kicking back in his swivel chair reading up on the Peterson Account, with a check shirt underneath a half-zip, chinos on the legs, maybe some brown shitflickers on his feet…

        bosstrabs My 15 year old loves these - he got his granny to buy him another one for Xmas. I didn’t say anything.

        that’s a quarter-zip, dudes

        Im not a fan of the half zip but im intrigued to know what Dave regards as suitable ‘smart/casual’ given the stark contrast his leisurewear has with this

          I wonder if anyone here rocks the American smart casual chino look, with the blue pocket-breasted shirt, no tie, buttoned down to reveal a sharp white cotton tee underneath, sleeves rolled half way up the forearm, complete with Starbucks loyalty card.

          That’s defo me, never been into fashion, outdoor / sports kit is where I sink my cash.

          You don’t rock Merrells and crocs if you haven’t “given up”, I also wear barefoot shoes all the time, the height of fashion

          Did someone say crocs?

          Safe to say we’ve all given up, Dave. It’s just you, Rhouses and Smallsy who are fashion-forward trailblazers. Let that sink in.

            Dave, what’s your business casual attire consist of?

            If you can provide an alternative to the above, which doesn’t look horrendous, I’m all in!

            I’m wearing a diadora two tone trackie at my next client pitch.

            I don’t do smart-casual at all, I am either dressed like a Red Star Belgrade hooligan or wearing a two-button suit (blue or black or grey) with a pale shirt underneath, possibly a tie, and some Oxfords (or decent Loake slip-ons in the summer).

              …. and a fedora

              Do love my fleece jackets, but always full zip.

                bosstrabs known as the ‘consultants jumper’ for obvious reasons. Arnie Slot is a big fan.

                The CEO of American Airlines just made a speech wearing guess what? A half-zip with blue shirt. He must have given up.

                  LT42 That’s the cunt that made me start this thread actually.

                  Disrespectful cunt in his Marks & Spencer’s gear. Should be wearing a black tie in sombre respect.

                    bosstrabs I’m guessing his was from something mid westy like Fred Meyer or something like that. Rushed off the golf course to make the speech and all he had in the boot of the car was that. Total reprobate.

                    Wtf was a military helicopter doing bundling about at the end of an active runway?

                    Only one way to find out….over to you LT.

                      Millsy pretty normal for this airspace, Millsy. Aircraft flying south on the Potomac usually fly around the back of jets on final for 33 because its an RNAV approach. I’ve listened to the ATC audio and he was instructed to do so, gave a WILCO, but then didn’t. Hard to say right now but unfortunately it has opened all kinds of conspiracy doors for the oxygen deprived including “this is so weird, WHO WAS ON THE PLANE?” and “I SAW WHITE ORBS IN THE SKY JUST BEFORE THE CRASH.” Trump also throwing fuel on the fire for the mongs by asking the same types of questions knowing full well that this airspace has operated like this for decades.

                      Nonetheless, let’s get it simulated to be 100% confirmed please.

                      Leaving work early.

                        LT42 Reference quality simulation please.

                        bosstrabs only wear t shirts under my jumpers, and some form of smart trainer. Not bought any shirt or shoes or suit since I got married 5 years ago.

                        What’s your issue with the half zip jumper?

                          RichM What’s your issue with the half zip jumper?

                          Just look at it Rich!

                          It hurts my eyes, just to look at it.

                            Does wonders for the moobs though.

                            bosstrabs it’s a plain simple jumper. I don’t get the issue with it. I work in a financial company, we can’t go into the office wearing pastels and trackie bottoms.

                            But then also looking at the shite people post on here they wear, my taste in clothes is boring. However I’m not a teenager anymore so clothes are practical and simple to me. And to please @Amps they are sustainable where possible.

                            bosstrabs remove that shirt and replace with a white t shirt, and that is exactly what I wore to work today. How amazing did I look!!

                              Dave has to impress Rupes and Jozzer with his suits at wine o’clock, and also has 13yo Chinese farm girl to dry clean them for him.

                              Lots of FEWMIN about my boss threads, what can I do 🤷

                              Maybe I should buy a load of moribund Gant stuff to make you all feel better.

                                Millsy Smallsy who are fashion-forward trailblazers.

                                Guilty as charged.

                                bosstrabs at your age that’s not a bad idea. Noting worse than a 40-50 year old dressing like they are in their early 20’s still

                                  RichM How is a grey suit with white shirt and Oxfords dressing like I’m in my 20s?

                                    bosstrabs admittedly I have never seen your whole wardrobe so can’t comment on whether it looks like something a 20 year old would wear. Just going by some of the shite you have posted on here!

                                    Rich strikes me as the type of bloke who listens to the Kaiser Chiefs and Starsailor.
