Answer Angel: A t-shirt under a suit jacket?
Answer Angel addresses two clothing questions focused on style details and fit. The first reader asks whether a T-shirt under a suit jacket creates a collar “ring” due to skin oils when wearing the bare neck. Ellen replies that this can happen for both men and women, noting that regular dry cleaning or spot cleaning is likely, and that the wearer is the only one who truly knows the jacket’s “secret.” The second reader asks about the return of “pattern mixing” and how to approach it. Ellen says there are no strict rules, but outlines guidance beginning with an unexpected colorful shoe or purse, then matching a striped piece to colors in a busier pattern such as floral, and optionally adding a solid item in a shared shade for advanced mixes. A further question discusses an untucked oversized white shirt associated with Charvet and Chanel, including price references for similar versions.
