Re: Dave Barry On Untucked Shirts

I will only wear a short-sleeved shirt untucked.

The "Kenora dinner-jacket", a heavy flannel shirt in a plaid pattern (usually based on a red or green) is definitely designed to be left untucked. Best worn with "Kodiak" boots (http://www.kodiakboots.com/) and a John Deere cap, or equivalent -- or a toque in cooler weather.

Re: Dave Barry On Untucked Shirts
If I'm wearing jeans, I would often wear a long-sleeve shirt untucked... with rounded tails out and all that. But in that case, I wouldn't button the cuffs, I would roll them up. This works if the shirt is a button down or otherwise with some casualness to it: a check pattern, brushed cotton, and so on. No ties and no buttoned 1st button, please.

Re: Dave Barry On Untucked Shirts
This topic always brings me back to "that guy". You know the one in the square toe pleather shoes, bad cologne, necklace, etc. 20 years ago it was Z cavarichi's (sp?) and cheap cardigan sweaters. Before that there were leisure suits, tight beltless pants, and perms. Attitudes always went hand in hand with the get up, and vice versa. Sometimes I wonder, what was "that guy" 100 or even 1000 years ago. We know from literature there have always been "characters" if you will; I just wish we had something to laugh at.
