It's my favorite blog and I love your shop brought some brown leather loafers from you once. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm not big on the shirt-under-shirt look, and I'm certainly not fond of popped collars. I only ever pop the collar of my pea coat--and then, only in the wind. <br /><br />Layered shirts only look good to me when it's a sweater or vest over a collared shirt, or an undershirt under...a shirt. Also, I loathe polos. <br /><br />But, my tastes are very traditional. kudos to you for experimenting!<br /><br />And don't mind the haters.

I confess I generally tuck things in, but your interpretation is just as effective. On a couple particularly cold occasions this winter I even went so far as to add a crewneck sweater over the two-shirt layers.
