OCBDs with *casual* suits?
I own and regularly wear a solaro suit and a navy seersucker suit. Both are Neapolit-ish in construction, and both are clearly made to be more casual suits. I wear them with OCBDs sometimes, because pairing them with ultra-crisp shirts feels a little incongruous, especially when I'm trying to lean into the casualness of the suit. I feel like there's a small-but-vocal segment of classic menswear guys who insist that this is verboten, but I'm not committing a faux-pas here, right? I know better than to wear one under a charcoal or navy worsted suit, and all that. Just checking to make sure I'm not crazy, here!

You're good, dude.
Oxford cloth also comes in all types. Soft and smooth, hard and scratchy, everything in between. Still collars or soft rolled. Some oxford cloth is more than formal enough for a charcoal suit. Pretty much all oxford cloth is formal enough for a casual suit or jacket.
Thanks for talking me off a ledge, @gimp!
If you wear it confidently, nobody will care
Just rock it!
wait who says you cant wait an OCBD with a "casual suit"
for me, any button up with a collar works with a suit
the shirt helps you further or subvert
a solaro and navy seersucker is perfect for an OCBD
theyd also be fine with a normal poplin shirt in a point collar too
Oh, just ghosts from StyleForum threads of yore
Ghost don’t exist to me
