I took part in a one day "image consultant" thing that all leaders at my Company were required to take as part of ongoing training (media coaching, that sort of thing), and I remember them making the point that we should all remember to wear white shirts on Monday since they signified freshness, energy, and new beginnings, and would help set the tone.

I sat there in my purple butcher stripe shirt, happily chuckling away to myself as they proceeded to talk about matching pocket squares and ties..

Is that so?I agrr wearing white shirts feels comfortable and neat..

^ I agree and from the photo I didn't realize England had their own version of "Queer Eye".

These journalists are all sensationalists. Throw the baby out with the bath water, theres a crises, run out and buy new shirts!

I think they just know there's a lot of people they can frighten, the same people who live in fear they will be persecuted for wearing a colorful shirt.
