Fella's OK, we've established we can wear pink but.. can we get away with floral ? I've got a nice white shirt on today that I got from a high street shop recently (you know the one NEXT to the others lol), thats got a blue and grey floral pattern on it. People have been taking the proverbial all day. Do you think I was wrong to think I could get away with it ? Paul

Well if Sue is...i'm gonna! LOL I suppose it depends on the degree of pattern. If it looks like something that Alfie Moon would wear, then you need to burn it .............now................i'm not kiddin! If not, then i can't see wot's so bad about it..... c x

Hi Paul, No 2 son has a few of the floral shirts, loves them and doesnt care what his mates say. His latest is a black and white squiggle job, hard on the eyes but looks good. They're probably envious because they cant get away with it :) Magi

My brother had a pink floral shirt with a matching tie and he looked very nice in it! Mind you........ It was the 70s...... he was five .......... he had a long blond pageboy hairstyle........... and everyone thought he was a girl coz he was so pretty.............. Maybe I'm not the best judge!!

Thanks everyone for your *cough* constructive comments. and yes, female opinions equally valid. Perhaps I should take a picture lately and put it up on the photos page...

If a man has the confidence he can carry off any colour or pattern shirt and look good in it.

There are floral shirts......and there are floral shirts! Think I've seen the one you're on about Paul - not floral as such - more a stylised pattern? - The sort of thing my son and his mates wear - and nothing wrong with them at all. Your 'friends' are probably extracting the urine because it's a departure from the norm for you. Can't you get a photo of it on the Photospage so we can take a vote?? Mags xx SNAP DEE! lol

LOL mandy....don't think that was the answer he was looking for Paul.....think that's the best way to go about it, coz i've got a really odd picture in my mind c x

Mags, I think you've got the right one. I'm not going to be in until late, but I'll put a picture up if I can. I have to admit that it's a bit more of a casual shirt than an office shirt - I wore it on holiday. Paul

Well I had a mate who had a lovely (?) blue shirt with big white flowers on. He used to call it his 'pullin' shirt' because when he wore it he usually pulled a 'bird' (of the non- winged variety). Totally true! So I suppose the ladies either liked his sence of style or sence of confidence! Seriously, if you like it, stuff what anyone else thinks! Claire xx

Paul, wear whatever kind of shirt you like. I am sure you look great in it! Seriously, I thought it was more than 20 years ago when men started to wear coloured shirts as well as white ones, floral and patterned. Well, the men in my family and my male friends did! :-) Joy
