What the hell can I wear with a red uni stripe ocbd?
So, what can I wear with it? During the summer months I usually pair it with a pair of navy shorts, but now it's getting a bit trickier. It's to nice of a shirt to just hang and be worn a handful (handfull?) of times a year. Any tips?

Re: What the hell can I wear with a red uni stripe ocbd?
The better question would be 'what can't I wear with a uni red stripe?' I find them a really versatile shirt with cord or herring bone tweed jackets. Under a harrington, under a grey sweat, lambswool or shetland sweater. Anything grey.

Is it a faded sort of red? Quiet wool tie and tweed jacket. Emblematic tie, blazer, grey flannels. Just treat it like a blue stripe but adjust for the color -- that is, a tie with a lot of red in it probably won't work too well, so go with blue or green.

Anything that isn't green.

anything you want Sancho, treat the shirt like it's a neutral color ... I wear mine with grays, blues, and browns, and, casually, that shirt really plays well with blue jeans and every Shetland crewneck sweater you've got ..........

/\ haha I love it ... the red university-striped ocbd is somewhat of an odd bird but we've always had them, I'm looking at a 40-year-old Brooksgate version right now, from high school .... it certainly would have been worn with navy blue Levi's 519 five-pocket cords and a pair of Clark's tan suede desert boots/Wallabees/Desert Treks .....

^^ that's what I usually would wear it with, but I want to break free from using my 505s, I wonder if it would look nicely with my OC chinos. Or a pair of light grey flannels.

/\ absolutely, particularly with a blue blazer ... for me those red stripes need some blue near them to balance them ..........

Levi's, a corduroy sport coat and a navy knit tie would be my vote...
