Personally I woudn't wear one as they remind me far to much of the "New romantic" era in the 80's (Steve Strange, Spandau Ballet,ect) in England

Now THOSE I could see myself wearing! I hope I didn't come across as negative---the ones I see here in the Continental United States seem more costumey (by far!) than the ones those two lads are sporting.

I've a number of handmade shirts, collarless, with buttons that close in the front. (I remember a dustup over what "button down" meant, so I'm not using the term!) They have become my general purpose kilting shirt (when I'm not wearing a polo/golf or t-shirt.)

It's all good . . .

You say that like it's a bad thing.

No. It just conjures up all the wrong images for me Therefore I prefer not to wear one and never will

Oh, OK then. (says Panache who goes back to listening to Adam Ant's "Stand and Deliver")

They're OK casually, I just find them rather hot in Florida. I usually wear a tropic-weight oxford in some complimentary color, or a tan or white short-sleeve uniform shirt; much cooler, and IMO a sharper look which I prefer. I've got sliders in MacLennan tartan, and rifle green ones with bagpipes embroidered with silver.

Someone once said that uniform shirts made him look like a refugee from a pipe band; well, I am, so I guess I don't mind.
