    The title says it all really... Would you wear a Hollister (or Abercrombie/AE for that matter) shirt to work? Were not talking plaid here but I'm thinking it would be OK but I don't want to look too casual as I now have a professional job. Any suggestions?

    I'd say best to leave it out if it's logo-ed. Really depends just how smart your office is..

    Only on a Friday really, or possibly under a v-neck, but not as a formal shirt.

    Depends on how strict the dress code is - business or business casual - and how strictly it's enforced.

    If it's business casual then something like this is okay imo. http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=11205&catalogId=10201&productId=690409&langId=-1&categoryId=16418&parentCategoryId=12551

    Provided it's actually long sleeved and tucked in!

    Although if you're new to the job it's probably better to err on the side of caution until you get a feel for what is and isn't appropriate.

    long sleeved as in has long sleeves (which may be curled up?)
    or sleeves down?

    I haven't put my sleeves down in 5 years.

    That's similar to what I was thinking of going for. It being winter I'll be using a V-neck for now, but I was just wondering for when the summer comes round would it be OK. I have been looking at formal stuff on the BHSmenswear.co.uk site, seen as they ship to Ireland and it's cheap stuff too I might get some of both.

    Anybody got any suggestions for smart shirts other than BHS & Burton?

    Sleeves down in winter, possibly up in summer. Oh the randomness!

    These http://www.savilerowco.com/ have some great deals on at the moment. I've used them before and happy with the quality. Delivery is only about 10E too I think.

    I don't know where you're based (I'm presuming Ireland somewhere) but if you're able to get into Dublin city centre, there are some good sales on at the moment in Arnotts, Debenhams, even Louis Copeland have a sale. You could also try out TM Lewin etc.

    And yeah, I sometimes roll up my sleeves too if it's warm. I personally wouldn't wear short sleeved shirts to work though.
