Rest assured, ladies, my mostly frequent socks are white/black. It's just one or two at the most days of the week I experiment. That's also when I'm not attending meetings and the like.

I go into work in formals, even on Fridays, I'm one of those best bib and tucker freaks

Yes, I do

Friday I saw an older guy wearing a pink striped shirt with white collars. I'm not a big fan of this kind of shirt which has white collars that is distinctive from the rest of the shirt which happens to be gray or blue. I've seen some guys wear it inside suits and it looks kind of alright.

And this guy was also wearing suspenders. That's been one of my passions since my kiddo years, but I never got the chance to wear it yet. Perhaps, some day. When you're at the middle layer of the corporate stack, suspenders don't look good.

I need to pack 10 more years and become one of those executive fat cats. That would be the time for suspenders.

Ugh. Wear whatever you want. I doubt you would get shot for wearing a pink shirt.

My husband has a number of dress shirts where the collar and french cuffs are white, but the body is a different color (all pastels: lilac, pink or light blue fabrics.) I love the look under a suit or with dress pants. I find it definitely fitting if you're an executive.

Even if you don't make it to "fat cat," when you reach a certain age you can wear whatever you damn well please. You'll be "eccentric."

I dislike colored dress shirts with a white color. They almost look like an accident to me. Oops forgot to dye the collar!

No white socks unless you are wearing tennis shoes. Don't make me send the police police over to your house.
