I wouldn't say offensive, and worn properly they can certainly look nice, but most people don't wear well fitted ones or worse wear them with khaki shorts … no … just no.

I think ID is doing something with my comments. I know I commented on this. Anyways, I've just never been comfortable in them, I think it was because of living in Guam and all the men wearing them to church while wearing khaki shorts. Shudder.

I don't understand why they're offensive – certainly a practical choice given shirtwearing doesn't stop in the summer months. I just don't get it.

There was a day when those short sleeved shirts were "what to wear" for men in the warmer months. I never liked them. So glad when they went out of style and we could send them to Bob. And Dwight.

I say I wear a tee and jeans 90% of the time but I do teh rolled up shirt sleeve over a tee the rest of the time unless I need to look dressed up.

As the denominational secretary in charge of keeping the youth pastors sane, I have to say that in my experience, the jeans & tees are the uniform of choice in our neck of the woods. Our Conference youth pastor (who is 5 years younger than I, incidentally) has taken to wearing button-down shirts over his tees (with sleeves rolled up). He recently married so that his wife can help him keep his colors coordinated…. Which is obviously why youth pastors get married. Right? :o)

Good plan, killing two birds with one stone. Heat your house and destroy the evil shirts. If oyu cook dinner with the heat of the fire then you get double bonus points.

I don't have time to leave a comment. I need to go burn my husband's short sleeve button down shirts before he gets home from work…
