Sanford posted:Also big big thanks to the thread, I made a presentation yesterday to a group of charities and my colleague and I wore jeans and smart branded polo shirts instead of suits. A kind-of competitor (who we know as Racist Mark so he's a nice guy) started his presentation with a snide comment about not getting the note to say there was no need to dress smartly. So I started mine by talking about accessibility and gatekeeping, and how a young person might not have the funds to buy a suit they'll only wear once in a blue moon, and how (this is what I learned from the UKMT) if you have reduced motor function then putting on a dress shirt is a nightmare, and cufflinks are basically impossible. I said we are taking a stand to allow people to come to these kind of events on the merits of what they have to say, not based on if they can afford a suit or not. I got a small round of applause, and he looked a right oval office. So thanks, thread. motherfucker not again, back to the animal mines

CGI Stardust posted:Love it, accessibility is important. Your colleague is great too, shame the suit-wearers. And gently caress cuff-links, they're dreadful things even if you're able-bodied. I really don't get the point of them other than another bit of jewellery to buy. What purpose do they serve that a button doesn't?

He said he just thinks it's important to be smart to show respect and she said "So you dressed to impress? Do you think it worked?" and turned her back on him.

Double cuffed shirts, which require cuff links, are generally seen as more formal than shirts with buttons. On the other hand in a business context nobody cares, and in a black tie / white tie event you probably have someone to help you out with your cuff links, which are the devil’a work.

OwlFancier posted:Do people with regular finger function struggle with cufflinks? You've gotta hold the cufflink, both pieces of shirt, thread them and operate the cufflink, all with one hand (because the other's in the cuff). It's certainly fiddly, especially if you don't do it often.

I always had much more trouble with necklace clasps than cufflinks if we're picking fiddly jewelery.josh04 posted:You've gotta hold the cufflink, both pieces of shirt, thread them and operate the cufflink, all with one hand (because the other's in the cuff). It's certainly fiddly, especially if you don't do it often. I guess it depends on the kind but I find the type with the rotating bar pretty easy, but then I have big hands. Those microscopic necklace clasps though... Also probably a big hands thing. Could not do them for the life of me when I was a kid.

On a similar subject I had a right loving row with a director last week because he wanted to mark down an applicant because the suit he wore to the interview was "shabby". Poor guy's been unemployed for ten months, give him the job and he'll be able to buy a new loving suit if you think it's that important. We don't even have a dress code. loving ridiculous. (we have offered him the job)

Purple Prince posted:Also Trump tiny hand jokes bum me out. I have big palms and shorter fingers, and people say I have small hands until I put them palm to palm with theirs and curl the tips of my fingers over theirs. Double Cuffs/Cufflinks are also the Devil's work in the morning, and considering I wear a jacket for work you never see them anyway.

Possibly only on Monday now because supposedly they may not want to grant an extension if there's no election and botodjjubson pulls the WAB, him pulling it because of there being no election and there being no election because of there being no guarantee of avoiding no deal brexit because there's no extension...

It doesn't matter that I think he's unelectable, what really matters is labour obviously also think that. Labour need to get their get poo poo together, they are failing the nation by putting their own internal squabbles first. Exactly as the Tories are. Hence our current situation.
