Yeah that better not come to an office near me.

Wait. That's a sports coat?

I've misunderstood Americans for a long time. Also the coat with no tie is normal. The top-button done up with no tie is what's really wrong there.

Do you know who I blame for this?

Australians

Ugh. But no worse that the asshats showing up in flip flops.

Hopefully just mainstream in Britain.  Those look horrid.  They even make those glamorous model dudes look lame, I shudder to think how stupid they would look on most men.

Coming to an office near you?

Only if you pry the gun from my cold, dead hands

At our office the more fashion forward men have begun wearing rather trendy suits or sportcoat / dress pant combinations with dress shoes and no socks. I think it looks horrible, and can't be comfortable.

dress shoes and no socks.

Are you sure that they are not wearing really low socks? Those seem to be gaining popularity these days.

Yeah otherwise their feet will stink.

It's fine for casualwear but Christ there's not a circle of hell deep enough for people flashing their ankles when they're wearing a suit

They look lame, but who cares about that, shorts at work would be comfortable.
