USCHO Clothing & Fashion Thread I

because when I think of USCHO I think of high fashion....



Ok, so I'm a fan of Derek Guy on Twitter. But he said something yesterday that has me in a bind.

He apparently despises Windsor knots. Preferring 4IH.

I've been wearing Windsors as long as I can remember. I've never been a fan of the asymmetrical look of 4IH or even half Windsors. That said, I absolutely hate what Waters is wearing. (Not sure how to square this with my preference for Windsors)

What are we all wearing?
 
My normal non-work wardrobe consists of jeans with t-shirts, hoodies, the occasional hockey jersey, and the like. For date nights or office parties or whatever, throw on a button-down collared shirt or polo instead, maybe wear khakis instead of jeans. All that is to say I am not a clothes horse.

Well my longtime spring/fall jacket decided to finally kick the bucket this year (it was from Fossil back when they still sold clothes, to give an idea of its age). After looking around online for awhile for a replacement and hemming and hawing, I got what I've been calling "my mid-life crisis jacket" as a Black Friday splurge. It's a black leather cafe racer. I figured if it looked stupid on me I could always return it since it's well outside my normal choice of clothing.

Showed up on the porch Thursday, and goddammit, I now get why the leather jacket has been a staple for decades. The thing fits me like a freaking glove in the chest, arms, and shoulders, and it even hides my love handles without being boxy or loose. Side benefit, it gives me some extra incentive to try to avoid putting on my normal extra winter weight this year to ensure it still fits well come spring.
 
Some of my do's/don'ts:

-Unless I'm on a beach, if my shorts or pants have belt loops I am wearing a belt. Period.
-I never wear "sneakers" of any sort if it's not athletic purposes or working in the yard.
-No cargo shorts.
-I can't remember the last time I saw anyone wear a tie in a business setting that wasn't an event. Not CEOs, sales contacts, clients, etc.
-I do wear a coat though if I'm in the office
-If I do wear a tie it's a Kelvin knot

Do people still wear ties?

People who wear ties in a business setting are doing some form of lying (litigators, salesmen, management).

It is unfortunate that people do not wear suits and ties in casual settings anymore, like dating. They look extremely sharp, especially on young people.

Suits, ties, dresses, hats, manners, cocktails, dancing -- all destroyed by Creeping Meatballism, roughly 60 years ago.
 
For years I was forced to wear the costume de rigueur of a white coat & tie. My trainers demanded it. My employers strongly suggested that it would be nice (especially since the hospital/system logo was on the white coat). However, recent articles/studies have suggested that ties and white coats could be "contaminated by potentially pathogenic bacteria and to be possible sources for physician-transmitted infections". Now I wear golf attire (polos & khakis) and if I get any grief from above I pull out the S*T*F*U articles
 
I would think the formality of a coat & tie is also more likely to cause "white coat syndrome" among people who already get anxious about medical appointments.

Which is what the uniform was about: make the patient shut up and take orders.

Given the morons that patients are, that is almost always exactly what should happen.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on finding the right clothes for an upcoming occasion. I’m starting a new job in a healthcare setting, and I want to make sure I look professional while staying comfortable during those long shifts. I’ve heard that finding the right scrubs can make all the difference, but with so many options out there, I’m not sure where to start. I've come across mandala scrubs, and they seem to have a great reputation for being both stylish and durable. Plus, they’re designed with comfort in mind, which is perfect for long hours on your feet. If anyone has tried them or has other suggestions, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
