jehane_writes has me thinking and she's right. I really think there are some exceptions. Like, here, clearly JC just wants you to be able to see his cool jewelry, because he thinks you'd like it. He's thinking of you! Look at his face. Look at it.
Okay, I must point out, Joe is wearing a jacket. There is no shirt. I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL with guys who wear jackets with no shirt beneath who are Joe McIntyre.
How about this. Don't wear your shirt unbuttoned halfway down your chest unless you are onstage* or in a photoshoot.
Good? We're good now?
*But Michael Flatley still has to keep his fucking shirt on because he's just icky.
I have to step in on the side of Deen here. While I admire a nice manchest as much as the next girl I have a rule that I apply to both open shirts and no shirt at all -I would rather have all of the hot guys button their damned shirts if it means the unhot guys will do the same.
And considering that Sawyer on Lost spent the entire series trying to figure out what buttons actually did this is a sacrifice indeed.
Ordinarily, I would agree! Less is more, restraint is sexier, elegance is a virtue, etc, and in the everyday context (workplace, school, public place with human traffic) a state of unbuttoning would be an unwarranted distraction (especially if the guy was hot).
THAT SAID. There's a place for unbuttoned shirts onstage and in photoshoots, and, if the wearer was thatway inclined, more casual/social settings. IMO, if a style works for Hypothetical Hot Guy, he should be able to work it (like Speedos, and thongs, which may work depending on the wearer). The unhot guys should not attempt this cutting-edge style because it just doesn't work for them and makes them look like a sleazebag. Ditto women.
Whereas jeggings and harem pants? Even J. Lo couldn't make them work, from London to Ibiza and the other jurisdictions in that ridiculous song :)
I know! And actually, my new policy is totally inclusive of that. I like ALL of those pictures. Those guys are allowed to be in any state of undress they like.
Just, you know, not the guy who talks to me in a bar. Hypothetically.
That JC is beautiful: clothed, semi-clothed, I will take him in whatever state of dress he chooses to be. Plus, the pink is a lovely color on him, and the bling is cool and tasteful. You hardly notice the unbuttonedness at all!
And, how could anyone object to a gorgeous man that can't button his shirt? I mean, we have to be understanding about these things. Things such as abs, for one! Free the abs, I say. *nods*

Preach it, girl. *resists picspamming the thread*
Though there are virtually zero pictures of JC's abs, sadly.
