Wearing a dress shirt with a front pocket

Just wondering what people thought of someone wearing a dress shirt with a pocket on it? I know it isnt necessarily the fashion nowadays, but would you stick out like a sore thumb I guess is what Im tryna ask.

Cheers

1) historically it's more blue collar to have the pocket;

2) no one knows about the historic nature of the pocket and no one cares.

Buy whatever. Finance is far less sartorial than you think.

 

If you need a functional reason to avoid shirt pockets - they collect lint.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
