Is there an uglier male fashion than a smart suit worn with an unbuttoned shirt and no tie?  Almost invariably displayed on television nowadays by politicians and newscasters attempting to look "cool and with it", the actual result is that we are obliged to stare at several inches of pallid neck, bobbing Adam's apple and sparsely haired chest - thus distracting us from the seriousness of the news story.

Men should button up their shirt and wear a tie

It's noticeable that this style of undress has largely become the habit of middle aged men (John Prescott is now doing it - heaven help us!).  It can't be long, therefore, before style-conscious younger men switch to something more becoming than a smart suit and an unbuttoned shirt.

May I suggest two alternatives to this scruffy fashion?  Try the Nehru Jacket which was very popular in the 70's – this style of jacket is actually based on the Indian sherwani apparently (see Wikipedia).  It's smart, attractive and colourful, not to mention the fact that the high collar covers up those nasty double chins and unattractive wobbly throats perfectly!

Alternatively, how about the exquisitely-tied cravats worn by those 18th-Century dandies?  At any rate though, let’s loose the scruffy unbuttoned shirt thing and let's bring tasteful good looks back to our television screens!

Just can't trust anyone these days, lol. I've been looking everywhere for a guy (or girl) wearing a green shirt with a yellow tie. Noone is around. Still I guess he (or she) would only come out at night!

How is the 'real' Pete today?

Hmmm..... you are 'off the wall' today. It must be your dress down day, or when you said yesterday about having a nervous breakdown, did it actually happen??
Glad to hear your tie is loose, mine is much looser now, with a second button undone.
