City/Country styling/context aside, above it seems that you do recognize that white is a "cool" colors (goes well with navy, black, white, silver; terrible with yellow, orange, rust, etc.).
What puzzles is the immense efforts at describing what white might look good with in details, but missing the fundamental of how it might look good on any one man (their natural colorings).
BTW, white is your color.
- Mpost #79 of 5228/2/12 at 7:55amInteresting topic for a threak. Foo said something about only needing one or two white shirts, and that they're not really "staples" to stock up on, but I have to disagree with that. Of course, a lot of it has to do with your occupation. I'm a lawyer and I'm usually in court at least twice a week. I almost exclusively wear solid white shirts when I'm in court, and if I'm not wearing white, then it's solid pale blue. So, I feel the need for more than one or two white shirts.
Here's a sample of what I wore yesterday to court, which I guess seems to fit in with Manton's original post (navy suit, white shirt, silver tie). Do/don't?
Sorry, the color didn't come out well.post #80 of 5228/2/12 at 7:58amThread Starterpost #81 of 5228/2/12 at 8:00am
I don't know how it became me who has been driven into defending the classic American canon of late, but I think an exception needs to be made for the white OCBD, which to me has many beautiful uses. Best and most elided in Manton's mini-treatise is that the white OCBD is great in a casual context, e.g. with jeans, or khakis. Also, under a tweed sportcoat (grays and blues, in particular) and under camelhair (he already mentioned the blazer).

Great thread.
My only departure from the OP is that I will rarely wear a white shirt with blue blazer and grey pants. Always with black shoes though. Other than that, I only wear a white shirt with suits, but burgundy shoes will work here, IMO. I never wear a white shirt without a tie.
As for yellow on white, I have worn a yellow tie with blue dots on a white shirt, but only with a navy suit, never with grey.post #83 of 5228/2/12 at 8:08amQuote:
Ah, didn't see it. As far as the tie pattern, I agree with that. Interestingly, it's sort of a "shimmery" look, and the distinctiveness of the pattern tends to come and go depending on lighting. Now that I look at this again, the narrowness of the tie pattern is a little too close to the narrow suit stripes.post #84 of 5228/2/12 at 9:14am

Here's the thing: Secretly I agree with you, for the most part. I find white so interesting in that it's great for beginners, in that it rarely looks bad, but it's challenging to do really, really well. It's both the easiest shirt color to wear and the hardest. When I reach for a white shirt, it often involves an almost Foo-like consideration of color, contrast, saturation, etc. It's work, man. But done right, the white shirt looks effortless, whether by true indifference or by calculated design. Nothing better.
I existed in this blissful state until I read this thread: now, never again.
Just about the only piece of explicit sartorial advice I ever received as a child was when my mother told me a gentleman only wears a white shirt to funerals (I think she took evening wear for granted). I didn't listen though.post #87 of 5228/2/12 at 9:46am

I consider white button downs to be an essential part of my wardrobe. While many may disagree, I have no problems with wearing it every day in a more casual setting, especially during the summer or when I visit the South.
My basic rules are: It must fit and be fresh. But, to each his own, I guess...post #89 of 5228/2/12 at 10:42am

Te waka Huia have overcome injury and loss to be crowned the best kapa haka group in New Zealand.
The West Auckland group took out the overall award at the 2013 Te Matatini National Kapa Haka Festival at the weekend.
This is the fifth time the group has won the Duncan McIntyre Trophy, since first competing in 1986, making them, along with Gisborne's Waihirere, the most successful kapa haka performers in the history of the competition.
Group leader Annette Wehi says the performance was a tribute to her in-laws, Dr Ngapo Wehi and Dr Pimia Wehi.
"It definitely was a tribute to our founder and co-leader. With our mum passing away around two years ago and our father who is ageing, our main aim was continue their legacy.
"Our haka focused on youth suicide, which is an important issue. We need to find strategies to get our young people talking again."
Led by Mrs Wehi and husband Tapeta Wehi, the performance was a family affair with many of their family members choreographing, composing the music and leading the group.
However several members suffered injuries during final rehearsals leaving them unable to perform which meant other members stepped up on the day to lead the team, Mrs Wehi says.
"We definitely had setbacks along the way. Tapeta fractured a rib on our last rehearsal weekend and another member had a torn calf muscle."
Mrs Wehi says kapa haka has come a long way throughout the country and conveys a strong message.
"It's not just about kapa haka but it's about leadership and looking after people and families.
"Kapa haka is really getting stronger around the country," she says.
A crowd of 15,000 people turned up to watch the performances.
The group beat nine other teams in the final.
Te Matatini chairman Selwyn Parata says the performance bar was lifted at this year's competition.
"There has been a real strengthening of identity and relationships. There's an air of positivity and happiness and everyone can see that in the faces of the performers - they are really enjoying it," he says.
Two other West Auckland teams, Nga Tumanako and Te Manu Huia, narrowly missed out on a place in the finals.
As winners of the competition, Te Waka Huia will represent New Zealand and Maori culture at significant events around the country and internationally until the next competition in 2015.

Halton Hills Council has approved updated Green Development Standards.
The Standards, build on the Town's Green Development Checklist, and put in place a practical and highly flexible set of criteria that are anticipated to result in more sustainable, high performance and efficient development.
All forms of new development are subject to the Standards.
"When appropriately managed, development can result in thriving complete communities and higher quality of life by contributing to our economic prosperity, cultural vibrancy, environmental health and social well-being. At the same time, development consumes significant amounts of energy and natural resources," said Mayor Rick Bonnette. "Recognizing this, Council has approved a practical set of Green Development Standards. These Standards will maximize development's many positive attributes while minimizing its potentially negative impacts. I look forward to seeing the next generation of high-performance development in Halton Hills that implements our new Standards."
The new Standards are designed to make an appreciable difference in the quality of new development. Aside from the performance of individual structures, they are also intended to improve broader community design and infrastructure.
The new Standards are based on the review of municipal best practices, while being tailored to the local Halton Hills context. The Standards complement the Green Development Evaluation Checklist, which was first introduced in 2010.
The Standards have beendesigned to maximize benefits to residents, the Town and builders/developers. Anticipated benefits include:
• Energy conservation
• Water conservation
• Improved community design
• More active transportation
• Efficient infrastructure use
• Stormwater management
• Reduced long-term home/building/business operating costs
• Implementation flexibility
• Marketing advantage
• Efficient resource/material use
• Reduced utility costs
• Lower greenhouse gas emissions
• A healthier community
• Improved communication and awareness
The Standards take effect June 2. A statutory public meeting to obtain public comments on a proposed Official Plan Amendment pertaining to the Green Development Standards will be held on June 9.
As part of the Standards' implementation, a training/information session will be held for the development and building industry. Anyone interested in attending this session is asked to contact Damian Szybalski (Manager of Sustainability) as soon as possible at 905.873.2601 ext. 2289 or email@example.com.

Marketing: Is David Bowie ad-bomb funky or an all-time low?
Will Dean
Will Dean is Editor of The Independent Magazine
Wednesday 13 March 2013
Few acts unite popular musical opinion like David Bowie. Arguably, even more so than The Beatles. Even if Bowie's new album The Next Day, which was released on Monday, doesn't tickle your fancy like Low or Hunky Dory, it'd be a bold move to say you didn't love at least some of his work. The man, frankly, unarguably, is a genius. Are we quorate on that? Right.
The marketing campaign for The Next Day has focused on the album's self-reflective cover (a white square with the album's name on top of the Heroes cover) and been almost as considered as Bowie's music.
The white square devised by designer Jonathan Barnbrook has appeared over walls worldwide and paired with clever print adverts featuring lyrics from the lauded new LP. A guerrilla marketing campaign has also seen white "The Next Day" squares drawn on to floors and fans have taken the white squares to their hearts, creating their own versions and spreading them online.
But despite all that, it must have been a bit grating for young bands such as Foals to see the adverts their label has spent lots of money on defaced by guerrilla ads. Whether it's been placed on top of their own ads by fans or the marketing team of a rock star with an estimated wealth of £100m (we're not pointing any fingers), you can't help think it'd be better hijacking the ads of something more deserving, like Findus lasagnes.
One poster in a central London location such as the one pictured would cost about £650 for two weeks (though, most likely bought in bulk and thus cheaper). Using some back-of-a-fag-packet calculations and working on the basis that the label would recover about 70 per cent from a £10 CD, the piggybacking of the space would cost Foals the equivalent of about 100 CDs (though the posters were apparently only put over posters that had reached the end of their allotted paid-for time slots). Equally, the associated cool might work in Foals' favour. At the time of going to press, a request to find out if they were pleased or peeved hadn't been returned.
Let's assume pleased. Think of all the other acts touched by Bowie: Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, er, Bing Crosby … being acquainted with Bowie didn't do them harm, did it? Maybe a support slot is on the cards as recompense?

Chris Ashton: Happy to have mojo back thanks to the support of Stuart Lancaster
Revitalised England wing says he is 'back to my old self' and fired up to face Australia
Chris Hewett
Chris Hewett is Rugby Union Correspondent for The Independent.
Tuesday 29 October 2013
Not so very long ago, Chris Ashton found himself at serious risk of experiencing the Tuesday Night Torment – the lonely drive home from the England camp in Surrey made by those players declared surplus to requirements ahead of a red-rose international at Twickenham. By his own admission, the Saracens wing went through a miserable spell in the second half of last season, to the point where he was genuinely surprised by the national coach Stuart Lancaster's decision to retain his services.
"You end up thinking so much about what is happening to your form that you go into a downward spiral," he said. "The more you try, the worse it gets – and the more frustrated you become.
"At the start, I wasn't too sure the coaches were right in what they were saying to me about the way I was playing. That kind of thing can be hard to take. But I came to realise that they were right, and that I was really lucky to stay in the team. I have to thank Stuart for keeping the faith, because towards the end of the Six Nations there were times when I thought I might be dropped."
Ashton started the 2012-13 campaign as a candidate for a Lions Test place in Australia, but it dawned on him as the Six Nations unfolded that he had blown his chances sky high. Tries were desperately hard to come by – even the trademark broken-field runs that at least threatened to end in a score were rarer than rocking-horse droppings – and defensively, he was all over the place.
Lancaster and company decided he should have the summer off rather than undertake England's three-match trip to South America, mentioning that he might like to spend some time improving his kick-chase routine and beef up his tackling. It was a sound call, even though he found it "horrible" taking his holidays while his peers were still at work. "It took me a while to let it go," he admitted.
"I understand now where I was going wrong and I feel more confident, more relaxed," Ashton continued. "I'm back to my old self again." Which is welcome news for England, who would like nothing better than to see him tear off into the distance and put a long-range try past the Wallabies at the weekend – the kind of try that illuminated Twickenham on Australia day three years ago.
"That seems like ages ago," he remarked. "I don't really think about it, although there's always someone coming up to me in the street and telling me: 'I was there; I remember that score.' I'd like it if a try like that came along every week, but I know it won't."
There is every chance that Ashton will spend the lion's share of this meeting with the Wallabies standing next to Joel Tomkins, his Saracens clubmate and a prime candidate to make his international debut as Manu Tuilagi's replacement at outside centre. The two men go back a long way, having played rugby league against each other as small children, joined sporting forces at secondary school and teamed up at Wigan before heeding the union call.
"I went all the way through school with Joel," the wing said. "I remember us running around when we were six or seven and I played with him from the age of 11. If anyone had said a few years ago that we'd play rugby union for England together, I'd have offered long odds on it happening. Back then it never entered our heads that we'd move to union, so it's brilliant that he's put himself in a position to challenge for a place. It's pretty strange, all this, but it's a good kind of strange."
The way he sees it, this set-to with an Australian side in a deep state of flux is the perfect opportunity to "put down a marker" following the crushing disappointment of the Grand Slam game in Cardiff back in March – the last time a full-strength England side took the field. Is he nervous, building towards a game in which he has so much to prove individually as part of a side asking so much of themselves collectively? "Not really," he said with a shrug. "But I'm sure I'll be feeling it just before kick-off."
Another wing whose ambitions on the Lions front were ultimately unfulfilled, Tim Visser of Scotland, finds himself in far bleaker circumstances than the rejuvenated Ashton. Visser suffered a fractured shin – hardly the best of injuries for a wide runner – while playing for Edinburgh against the Italian side Treviso at Murrayfield five days ago and will not play again this year. He may even struggle to feature in the Six Nations Championship, which begins in February. Further medical examinations revealed additional damage to ankle ligaments, which will require surgery.
England blow as concussion rules out Parling
Geoff Parling, the Lions Test lock from Leicester and one of England's senior forwards, was concussed during this afternoon's training session at the team base near Bagshot and will miss this weekend's opening autumn international against Australia at Twickenham. It is a heavy blow for Stuart Lancaster's team: Parling runs the line-out and has become an influential team member since his debut last year.

This unfortunate development leaves Joe Launchbury of Wasps, Dave Attwood of Bath and the in-form Courtney Lawes of Northampton fighting for two engine-room places. The rest of the pack picks itself, with Billy Vunipola of Saracens expected to beat Ben Morgan of Gloucester to the No 8 shirt and join his brother, the loose-head prop Mako, in the starting XV.
Outside the scrum, the decision to send the uncapped Gloucester centre Henry Trinder back to Kingsholm guarantees an international debut for the Saracens midfielder Joel Tomkins. Another Sarries player, Alex Goode, has also been released and therefore loses his place at full-back. The Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care has also suffered a fall from grace, with Ben Youngs and Lee Dickson contesting the No 9 role.

First fanvid ever was this "Star Trek" slideshow
Today, fandom is a defining characteristic of Internet culture. But one of the most popular expressions of fan culture online, the fanvid, actually began in 1975, long before the World Wide Web was even invented.
At ROFLcon's Fangirl Culture discussion, panelists commemorated Kandy Fong, the Star Trek fangirl who is generally regarded as the first fanvidder, a person who remixes footage from her favorite shows and sets it to music.
In 1975, without access to even a VCR, Fong took Star Trek footage from the cutting room floor and compiled it into a slideshow. The result was the video below, entitled "Both Sides Now," after the song sung by actor Leonard Nimoy.
Fangirls have never been content to simply absorb their favorite media. As a result of their creative efforts, the Internet offers an endless variety of remixed and transformative works based on books, TV shows, movies, games, and more.
But while the Internet popularized and democratized remix culture, fangirl creations actually predated it. Long before YouTube and the DVD player made it possible for anyone to become a video editor, fangirls were already finding ways to remix TV shows into fanvids.
Fanvids have come a long way since Fong blazed the trail. For contrast, "the most famous fanvid ever" is generally considered to be "Closer," a 2004 collaborative effort by fangirls TJonesey and Killa. The NSFW video implies a homoerotic relationship between Spock and Captain Kirk.

In Search of Soul and Soulful Social Science
Soul is about human connection. Soul is about deep feeling, about self-knowledge and empathy. As my Songhay friends in West Africa like to say, a soulful quality makes life sweet, which, in turn, sweetens the quality of life in the world. My students remind me that without soul, there is no social contract and no social harmony.

Associated Press
WHITESVILLE, W.Va. — On the heels of a West Virginia coal mining death, families of the 29 men killed in the Upper Big Branch mine dedicated a memorial Friday to their fallen relatives and those injured in the April 2010 explosion.
An outpouring of support helped complete the memorial a year ahead of schedule, according to the project's volunteers. But still ongoing is a federal criminal investigation into the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in four decades.
The ceremony, which drew public officials along with scores of area coalfield residents, also came as party-line disagreements continue to sideline safety legislation in Congress meant to respond to Upper Big Branch.
Kanawha County coal miner Mark Haynes believes his industry has become safer since Upper Big Branch. The 52-year-old man is part of a motorcycle contingent that ride in parades to honor those killed.
"I know this, that other companies, including the company that I work for, have straightened up their act on a lot of things because of the explosion," Haynes said.
The memorial features a 48-foot long black granite monument with life-size reverse silhouettes of each of the 29 miners. The back of the monument lists their names along with panels that describe the history of coal in West Virginia.
It sits in a small park-like plaza bordered by the Big Coal River on one side and W.Va. Route 3 on the other. Those attending the ceremony sat or stood in the road's northbound lane, with coal trucks frequently passing by.
"It's an honor to be here, and it's an honor to see that they actually recognized the fallen miners," said Doug Griffith of Dry Creek. His brother William Griffith, 54, and his 52-year-old brother-in-law, Carl Acord, were among those killed.
Family members applauded Shelia Combs, who led the effort to build the memorial, and Rob Dinsmore, a state resident and landscape architect who designed it. For several, the tears began to fall with the opening invocation by State Police Chaplain James Mitchell, who had ministered to them immediately after the explosion during rescue efforts. Mitchell cited the Gospel passage that appears along the bottom of the monument, "Come to me, all you who labor, and I will give you rest."
Representatives of the rescue teams removed the monument's shrouding. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin began his remarks with a moment of silence for Johnny Mack Bryant II, who died at an underground mine about 20 miles from the memorial.
Another speaker, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., has introduced mine safety legislation prompted by Upper Big Branch for the third time since the disaster.
As in earlier versions, the Robert C. Byrd Mine and Workplace Safety and Health Act launched Thursday proposes further whistleblower protections, harsher penalties for criminal safety violations and a revamped system for declaring a pattern of violations at a mine with chronic safety problems.

As the leader of a party which has traditionally had to try hard to get a public hearing, Nick Clegg is used to making big, bold statements. And the Deputy Prime Minister certainly makes some big, bold statements in his interview with this newspaper today. Mr Clegg claims the coalition Government will succeed where the previous Labour administration failed, namely by reducing poverty and increasing social mobility.
He adds that the coalition's programme will be attractive to those who "used to invest their hopes in New Labour". This is a message aimed, to some extent, at the wider Liberal Democrat movement which, despite giving its seal of approval to the coalition deal at a special conference last month, is still rather uncomfortable with the party sharing the Commons benches with the Tories. It is also designed to appease those left-inclined voters who cast their ballots for the Liberal Democrats in the general election only to see Mr Clegg's party help David Cameron into Downing Street.
But intelligently pitched as Mr Clegg's pledge might be, it is going to prove hard to deliver. Labour found it immensely difficult to make modest reductions in poverty levels during its 13 years in power. And that was, for much of the time, an environment of bumper tax revenues. Mr Clegg is promising to do better in an era of fiscal austerity.
The coalition has said it will remove some tax credits from prosperous families as one of the first steps in cutting public expenditure. But the inescapable fact is that the primary beneficiaries of public spending are the less well-off. And the most deprived parts of the country are disproportionately reliant on public sector employment. Reducing the deficit will inevitably mean pain for poorer communities.
The coalition has polices which, it argues, will refresh parts of our society that New Labour failed to reach. This includes a radical schools policy and a goal of taking low-income earners out of the tax net. These policies have their merits. But the advances that free schools and better incentives to work promise will only happen over the longer term. Public-sector job cuts and reductions in local services will impact much sooner.
Mr Clegg promises special help to areas that will be hardest hit by deficit reduction. This is indeed likely to be the crucial test for the Liberal Democrats. There are many people in the country who are giving this Government the benefit of the doubt because of the presence of the Liberal Democrats. The hope is that they will be a moderating influence on the Conservatives. If, by the time of the next election, Mr Clegg is seen to have failed to safeguard the interests of the most vulnerable, the consequences for his party could be disastrous.
It remains to be seen what the departure of David Laws from the Cabinet will mean for the Liberal Democrats' influence within the Government. Mr Clegg argues that the coalition has emerged stronger because of the manner in which it pulled together during the furore over the expenses of the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. But Mr Laws was unusual in Liberal Democrat circles because he was strongly convinced of the need to bring down public spending on an accelerated timetable. That was why his loss was so mourned by the Conservative wing of the coalition. Both sides were sorry to see him go. But Mr Laws was one of the connecting sinews of the coalition. It is hard to see how his departure can possibly make the alliance stronger in the face of the inevitable strains which are to come.
Bold and striking promises have their place in politics. But Government is, ultimately, about delivery. Mr Clegg understands the first part. We wait, with some trepidation, to see whether he can make good on the second.

The insurance bill of Sunday night's quake remains unknown despite a Credit Suisse report stating the cost would be well below US$1 billion ($1.3 billion), the Insurance Council of New Zealand says.
Insurance manager John Lucas said he did not know how the financial services firm had reached the figure. He expected the Insurance Council would know the cost in about a week.
"It's probably based on a model answer, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily the right answer."
Credit Suisse, reporting on the potential for impact to one of its funds, estimated the damage would be about 10 per cent of that from the Canterbury quakes, suggesting a loss of under US$1b, according to risk-related financing blog Artemis.
"The NZ earthquake had a higher magnitude than the Christchurch earthquake from 2011 but ground acceleration was significantly lower, meaning that damage can be expected to be much lower."
Sunday's magnitude 6.5 earthquake, centred in Cook Strait, released energy equivalent to 100 nuclear bombs of the size which devastated Hiroshima, scientists said. Aftershocks continued to rattle central New Zealand this week.
Damage in Wellington has been limited largely to burst pipes, some internal damage to buildings and superficial structural damage. Cordons were still up in Featherston St today because of the dangers of loose masonry and glass.
The Marlborough town of Seddon was also affected by the quake, with cracks opening up in a dam built on Starborough Creek which flows through the township about 15km away. The dam held 250,000 tonnes of water, being slowly released under an emergency action plan, and was not considered a threat to people living below.
Out of the 2500 buildings in Wellington's CBD, much of the area on reclaimed land, 35 were found to have external damage.
Three parking buildings remained shut down after the quake, with owners unable to remove their cars, and the BNZ Building will be closed for six to eight weeks.
In a post on the bank's Facebook page, chief executive Andrew Thorburn said building owners Centreport and BNZ had engineers assess the building.
The inspection found it was structurally sound but had taken extensive water damage due to burst pipes and sprinkers, Thorburn said.
"Now we've been in, initial assessments suggest it could be at least six to eight weeks to make the necessary repairs to the fit out of the building. Obviously, there is more planning to be done to finalise exact time frames and we'll keep you informed as we know more."
Staff had been able to go inside to remove equipment and services were able to run as normal without the building, he said.
Earthquake damage has also forced a government agency out of its heritage-listed central Welllington building, and driven the Greater Wellington Regional Council to speed up its relocation plans.
Creative New Zealand left its offices in the 1909 Old Public Trust Building in Stout St yesterday and says it will not return.
The property market was also expected to become a casualty of Sunday's earthquake as insurers and home buyers tread more cautiously.
Buyers in the Wellington and Marlborough regions are being advised to consider delaying their purchases or to ensure the final sale agreements are subject to obtaining insurance.
Massey University senior lecturer in insurance and finance Michael Naylor said prospective buyers should pause for a while.
"If I was buying homes, I would delay things until they can buy insurance. You can't expect the insurance companies at this stage to take on new clients."
Insurance Council of New Zealand operations manager Terry Jordan said some of its 27 members - including AA Insurance, State, NZI and AMI - were not taking on new business in the centre of the country as they assessed quake damage and risk.
However, insurers have said they are open to compromise to ensure the property market does not "grind to a halt".
Even if earthquake activity eased, the standoff could last for weeks, and could stretch to several months, Jordan said. "There's no measure on this, unfortunately."
Harcourts New Zealand chief executive Hayden Duncan said demand did not appear to have been affected, but Sunday's quake was likely to lengthen the sales process.
One method adopted in Christchurch, and largely accepted by insurers, involved buyers taking over the insurance policies of the vendors. While insurers were reluctant to take on new policies, they could generally replace them and maintain the same level of risk.
