@D2- pockets in dress shirts are completely normal. Whoever thinks otherwise is a plebeian. Plus, shirt pockets fit hotel keys perfectly 👍

dress shirt, meaning with a tie

Button down is great for business casual. Would never wear one to a wedding or a job interview though

@D1 also accurate

OP is correct

Ah the south, where state school majors fancy themselves descendents of plantation elite but are actually a family of muddy sharecroppers who wear red hats, work as middle managers at an autoparts manufacturer, and wear a tie once a year with the same Oxford button down they thought was business casual.

My point of view: no shirt pockets looks cleaner and nicer. Yes, you could put stuff on that pocket. But it it looks bad.

Call me a Yankee iconoclast, but I think button down collars look cleaner with the no tie + blazer combo because they keep a collar in place better than collar stays.
