I absolutely do 2 buttons undone at work, depending on the shirt. What I absolutely can't stand is literally all the way buttoned up with no tie. A guy did that in an interview and I had a no on him before he even opened his mouth.

Also: dress shoes with no socks.

What if it's a banded collar?
That seems like a fairly superficial reason to dismiss someone.

What if they're no-show socks?

Banded collar is alright. I was hoping what I said about the interviewee was ridiculous enough for people to realize it was a joke, but I guess not. He didn't get the job, but thats because he sucked.

no-show socks are fine with casual shoes imo, but dress shoes without socks just looks dumb. Especially when its with a suit.

Eh, some of the folks here I definitely believe would be serious about that statement.

Yeah, it does seem kind of weird.

I guess I'm also a traditionalist because I also don't like the semi-trend of suits without belts. Just looks like they forgot something.

Our IT guy always has 2 or 3 buttons undone on all his shirts and he does look like a throw away from the 1980's disco era. Dumbass....

You should make a helpful suggestion everytime you see him. "Hey, your shirt is unbuttoned..." After doing it a few times it'll be funny to see his reaction: either he'll start buttoning it or he'll yell out in frustration "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT!"

Bud Lights Real Men of Genius popped in my head "Here's to you Mr. two shirt buttons unbuttoned guy"

I thought of the the SNL skit with Will Farrell wearing a thong during the meeting...
