I confess I thought at first look these were stockings
I was actually looking around for the same thing and got myself into a rabbit hole trying to figure out which type was most bioavailable. I confess this took me about 2 hours of research to prove what I already knewā¦
And I declare myself solidly ON the team of the guy who would get sand kicked in his face if he wasnāt so physically imposting.
You ROCK your shirt garters, @T3hPwnisher! Never let anyone tell you you shouldnāt!
P.S. I confess that when my grandpa wore them, I thought it was to keep his socks up, not his shirt down, haha.

Sock garters! Itās all magic stuff. The only downside of the shirt garters that clip onto socks is occasionally the clip slips off and the elastic launches like a big slingshot straight into tender partsā¦

Just to clarify, these consist of a piece of elastic running from roughly waist height to your socks?
As with everything, youtube provides instruction

I confess that when doing pullups during my lunch walking route, my biz shirt untucks fully. upon finishing my handful of sets, I tuck it back in then walk back to the office.
Iām happy to further confess iāll never buy or wear such things @T3hPwnisher
But Iāve learned something new today.

Youāre forced to go to those?
One of our employees is moving away and also having a baby soon, so the group wants to meet tomorrow at my advisorās house to celebrate her. Itās a small group, so people definitely notice if you donāt attend. I will probably still finagle a way to not stay long though.

āYour shirt stays are on. Go out and look immaculate.ā
I watched the whole video, I was fascinated; I confess I chuckled throughout!
Itās all good! Even Achilles was a heelā¦
So much to unpackā¦
Suffice it to say I actually know that there are similar stays(?) that attach from oneās boxers to oneās socks to keep the socks up. Not that I would be caught with sand on my face wearing those at the beachā¦
edit to add: Hmmm, how would one rock both shirt stays and sock stays at the same time, I wonder?
Honestly, from now on Iāll be tucking my shirt into pants with pride, fully aware that Iām demonstrating to everyone around me that Iām not wearing one of thoseā¦contraptions.

OH!
I confess that when I worked in an office and wore dress shirts with a tie, I wore collar stays!
All this talk of formal wear reminds me that a non-trivial motivation for going to grad school is being able to dress like a uni student for another 5-7 years
I confess I donāt know how to tie a tie. Every occasion Iāve had to wear fancy clothes Iāve had to go buy them. I also donāt know jacket button etiquette or what matches and the doās and donts of fancy wear.
I also get dizzy when inside large office buildings. I was built to be a hillbilly

The first thing I do when somebody dies or gets married is go buy a new suit.

I think your belt and your shoes are supposed to be the same color, if theyāre leather.
And YouTube has videos on tying ties.
Thatās all I know. Iām not up to speed on this stuff either, haha.

All leather must match; black shoes, black belt, black watch band. Brown shoes, brown belt, brown watch band. Gold accents should generally be avoided with black leathers, whereas brown can have gold or silver.
Additionally, black leathers should generally stick with black suits. Brown leathers can be match to blues, greys and tans. Blues/greys/tans also have more flexibility with regards to the shirt colour you pair with them.
Two-button suits should only ever have the top button done up. When you sit, undo the button. Avoid 3-button suits ā theyāre dumb.
DO NOT let your suit jacket extend beyond the length of your shirt sleeves. Buy a jacket and pants that fit, then for the love of the gods spend a little bit to get it tailored.
Ties should extend no further than the top of your belt. Donāt bother learning any fancy tie knots, just spend time mastering the basic one.

I couldnāt have articulated most of that, but funnily enough all of this describes exactly what I do, haha. Especially the last one. Going out of your way to tie a double windsor is ridiculous, haha.
