Is this even still a thing? Short sleeve collared shirts?

I have a couple that I still wear casually, but I bought them ten or so years ago and would be more likely to wear a polo. I certainly don't wear them to an event that is more professional or non-casual. I went to a wedding recently and was surprised to see people wearing jeans and short-sleeve collared shirts. I even saw one guy wearing a shirt and leather jacket with various writing on it. I've never felt that overdressed for a wedding.

Just out of curiosity, how would an Omega Seamaster be perceived? Not appropriate or fine? I don't have an expensive suit and don't really see the point of having one just yet, but I think earlier in this thread someone mentioned not wearing expensive items on interviews, so I thought I would ask. I wear my Fossil watch daily and don't think it would be a bad watch to wear with nice clothes. It's not a flashy watch but it does look nice for the value.
Badly. They'll think you're there for a diving interview.

Hell what do they know?!! (Full disclosure: I haven't had time to read the whole article just something about doctors wearing business suits and stilettos and looking too busy to take care of their patients.)

My patients love my shoes and attire.

Here's today's selection. View attachment 187442

Looking sharp. Those heels are on point.:pompous:

That looks like sheer agony.

Also, extremely dangerous for those who get on your bad side.
