Why do short-sleeved dress shirts at the office elicit such strong reactions?

NASA’S APOLLO engineers were smart men and that’s why they wore short-sleeved, white dress shirts through sweltering summers in places like Houston.

Back in the 1960s, “I don’t think everything was climate-controlled like it is now, so [short-sleeved shirts] just made a lot of practical sense,” said Houston local Mr. Hamilton of Hamilton Shirts. For many men, that practicality trumps all, even with the prevalence of aggressive air-conditioning today in both offices and cars.

No such thing.

Short answer: NO. A/C has negated SS shirts in business attire. OR...look like a dork. Pocket Protector?

Because they look horrible.

Yup - nothing else for the WSJ to be talking about...

I love LLBean short sleeve oxford shirts with or without a tie. I never had a corporate boardroom job to wear them. I only wear long sleeves with like chamois cloth flannel or filson alaskan guide shirts with or without a sport coat but never had a wsj job.

Flabby arms or guns both distracting

LOL Sipowicz was the first person I thought of.

The ladies like it?

Roll up the sleeves, just one turn, instacool.

Because it's more fun to talk about women's clothes than it is to talk about how to increase margin, market share or develop new products. Competence is less valuable than sexism.

Because they suck
