Shirts have finally adapted to the relaxed rhythm of clothing in 2020 Along with the popularity of Clare Balding and the irregularity of the bin men, the other topic my mum used to fixate on was men's shirts.
Why do they wear them gaping open like that, she'd wonder, as if for the first time. There's too much neck. It's just awful.
She was referring to business shirts, worn under jackets but minus tie, and often minus business, as the default off-duty, smart-casual look.
She had a point. For her generation, men wore shirts for work, for weekends, for pretty much everything. And they all looked the same: smart, with a collar.
