I suppose that depends on the circles in which you are mixing. For some people there are very specific rules that even determine whether wearing a collar attached shirt is right or not and heaven forbid you should wear a wing collar with a soft front shirt or a fold down collar with a starched front shirt

But most of us do not move in quite those circles of formality and I'm not even sure if they exist any more. I suspect they do, but I certainly don't move in them

For the most part the circles I move in either do not know the dress codes or, if they do, are relaxed and accepting about any failure to follow the codes perfectly

It should be about pleasing yourself and for most of us it is. It is a fascinating subject though
