"is it etiquette to wear a tie with a short sleved shirt"?

Answer 1

Don't think ya particularly have any problems with etiquette, but it's not a good look. With a waistcoat short sleeves are even worse!

Answer 2

Yes but be warned that it is generally considered geeky.

A short sleeved short is often worn under a jacket which means that no-one can tell it is short sleeved, unfortunately in terms of etiquette, the sleeves of the shirt should show approximately 1cm from the end of the jacket sleeves.

Plus there is the fact that a long sleeved shirt allows for double cuffs, which in terms of Etiquette, is far more gentlemanly. Double cuff shirts are shirts that you can wear cufflinks with. I recommend Jaeger Shirts www.jaeger.co.uk and Bulgari Ties www.bulgari.com.

Of course I am English and our Etiquette is more formal than the American equivalent. A tie is pretty much expected in the business world in Britain unless of course you are filthy rich and answer to no-one or like me, are the boss of your company.

Sure you can...It might look a little dorky, but I think I'd rather look dorky and be cooler than have to wear long sleeves.
