Don't starch it.
Yes, all white vans are acceptable and would look much better.
All white vans are garbage, just not a fan of them, no offense to rock those on the regular.
In the end, be yourself. If she knows you are a cargo/kicks type of dude and all of a sudden switch it up she will see right through it.
Agree on the starch, don't do it.
I disagree with the use of "properly" and "appropriate", dudes becoming stuffy as hell in this joint. Whatever you rock, do it with confidence and make it your own, people forget that it's "Personal Style"
Spoiler [+]We talking 'bout rolling up sleeves, +%#@ outta hereSpoiler [+]We talking 'bout appropriate shoes to wear with shorts?

I wear undershirts, usually V-Necks that you can't see when the shirt is buttoned up. If it's buttoned down you are already in casual mode so an undershirt isn't a faux paus as much as people try to make it seem. Can't do the no undershirt, Rico Suave let me show off my chest hairs look,
I said appropriate because he's clearly going to a special event " I'm taking my girl out for her "birthday" (missed her real birthday) but I really wanted to make this one special," So clearly he wanted to have a moment, you might as well step it up for that event, and wear something appropriate.
While a date/birthday is a special event, it's not really that serious for fashionistas. Shopping and a Restaurant, not exactly a formal affair. Plus, shorts in general scream casual so shorts and appropriate don't exactly belong in the same sentence. Now if you want to say preference, then you are correct.
It looks like a casual outing, doesn't take away the "specialness" of the event, but it seems casual. It just seems his outfit is being picked apart for no good reason, when we should be giving suggestions.
Sleeves? Who cares, she wont.
Undershirt? Looks off, and it's an eyesore especially when layered with a white button up.
Shorts? Cargos or Chinos, above the knee or below? Does it really matter, nope.
Shoes? Sneakers or "Other"? I don't think it matters.
What is your definition of "inexpensive"? It looks like you have time, so if you want to get decent for cheap just wait until Labor Day weekend and hit the outlets. They usually have killer sales. Banana Republic usually has 40% off F&F's, you have to go on Thursday or Friday 'cause place gets cleaned up fairly quickly. Brooks Brothers usually has good sales and 2 for $_____ on suits. Think of suits as an investment.

Wear an undershirt. A grey v-neck won't show through light colored shirts as much as a traditional white one.
First solution is the best solution,
They were made to order, nothing special about it, it's just that they didn't make it until I ordered it. Does that make sense? It just got delayed because a bunch of other people ordered it when they had the discount price in April. Here;s better pics.Originally Posted by omgitswes

I'm taking my girl out for her "birthday" (missed her real birthday) but I really wanted to make this one special, and have a nice fit to go along with it. So far what we have planned is just to go shopping and then out to a restaurant of her choice...
This is what I had in mind...
Baby blue Express V-neck
White Polo Ralph Lauren Button-up
Gray Shorts
Air Max 1's
Didn't know if I was mixing too many styles or not...just wanted some feedback. Thanks guys, appreciate it.
Sorry for the crappy pics as well.
This is just sloppy.
Keep the button up...and roll the sleeves properly.
Iron the collar of the button up and keep it lookin sharp.
Under shirt makes no sense. Leave it at home.
Get a new pair of chino shorts, and NOT cargos.
Put on a belt and tuck in the shirt.
Examples of the length (below or above the knee is up to you; I would go above)
Example of appropriate shoes:

Looking for something for work, preferably wool no polyester. If all else fails, I'll just go to Mysuit off 34th or Alton Lane and get a MTM, although the lapels n such will probably be bigger than my liking.
So far, I got J.Crew
Thanks!
wear a v-neck under so it doesn't look so tacky
