:shock: - Dear Scot,

it may take good taste and some légèreté...
I have many shirts made up this way, and hardly anybody takes notice - which is the proof of the pudding 8)

cheers, David

Well it's certainly a matter of taste, that's true. But it's not just the shirt, is it?

Although I tend to adhere to the maxim that go-to-hell fabrics or cuts should be avoided in shirts, in particular, I must say that I find the posted examples rather nice and that the offsetting white collar works very well.
I guess you'd want to wear them with very dark, very conservative suiting and a similarly serious tie.
I've always foudn that if you wear anything a bit out there (like a very cofortable, soft pair of trousers in buble gum pink I own), the other garments should verge on the Presbyterian and the outfit will then work.

:shock: I was going to suggest a vertically-striped tie to go with that shirt, but this is obviously the superior solution....
