Fitted button down shirts, gay or not?

[cranny]

Well which is it? The wife says she wants to get me one. I've seen some that don't look too bad and some I wouldn't be caught dead in. Basically I'm talking about a button down shirt that's a bit tailored and somewhat snug at the arms. Where would you rate them on the gay-meter?

A step up from regular non-tailored button down shirts, but still ranks at the bottom of the pile when it comes to interesting, different, unique men's clothing. The button down shirt is the most drab, mundane, boring piece of men's clothing out there. It has become the official "I'm a young professional and am going out with my friends on Sat night to get wasted and hit on chicks and talk about my portfolio" uniform of the past few years. I've actually gone to some bars/lounges and counted the amount of dudes in button shirts (striped is very popular too) and almost died laughing at the numbers.

Don't get me wrong, a tailored button down shirt in the right color and with the right pants / shoes can look fine in the right environment, just beware of the stigma attached to it.

It depends on what you are comfortable in. I would assume that most people there are your avg. 20yrs-outta-highschool peeps, which means most of the guys will be your average joe wearing avg joe clothes - Dockers with a button down shirt, maybe a blue sports coat with khakis.

I would say get a little stylish. Reunions are about looking better than everyone else, right? lol, you already will have the best body there. I'd say maybe a blazer and pants (suit may be too formal, depending on where it is being held) with some cool, sharp colors. Depends on what you got in the ol closet, but some combo of pants / shirt / jacket that have a cool style to it, with some colors that pop. Like a bright orange shirt with pinstriped choclate brown pants or something
