Is there a bigger fashion faux pas than...

[Ignis Fatuus]

wearing a short sleeved shirt and a tie?!

(This annoys me more than when I worked with a bunch of scientist who would regularly wear sandals with socks on)

IMHO that's not a fashion faux pas, it's merely a style that you happen not to like. I don't do it but it makes sense to me: tie because that's the code in that place, short sleeves because that suits the interior climate.

But I see sleeve length as a choice, not a fashion. Maybe I just don't understand this concept "fashion".

Indeed. I also see nothing wrong with hanging a selection of coloured bic biros in the pocket of my short sleeved shirt. Even better if there's a lurid green protractor sticking out. It's a choice, and indeed a fashion statement. Only this season though.

P*** O**. I don't do any of those things.

When it's the height of summer I'd rather look unfashionable than be sweaty

I draw the line at Mankinis though
