You voted and now you know.  Bowling shirts will be going against Ugly Sweaters and Mesh Shirts will face Fruit Costumes.

Final Four Casual Bracket voting opens tomorrow!  Will you be ready?!  Check out the bracket to see the match ups and then come back to the blog tomorrow to vote!

Was that a crazy opening roundor what?!  Sweater Vests got a surprise early exit, Jumpsuits rolled, and passions have reached an all time high.  (A lot of people passionately believe those are not Daniel's real arms, which, obviously, they aren't.)

We're down to our "Elite Eight" — and if the NCAA's Elite Eight was any indication, there are plenty of surprises left to come.

The second round of voting is officially open so tell us who you want to move on.  Voting will close Friday at midnight, with 4 winners heading to our "Final Four" next week. Vote up to once per day.

You can see the full bracket by going here.  And after voting, check back on Monday when we'll give you a full recap.

After the jump, place your votes on all of our second round match ups! more...

Round 1 has come to an end, and what an amazing four days it was!

We received over 17,000 votes per poll for a whopping 139,000+ total votes.  I don't think Montana does that well in their gubernatorial election.

What happened?  Well, first, let's look at a couple blow outs.

Jumpsuits was the biggest winner, clobbering Raincoats by a 76% to 24% margin.  They'll be taking on another big winner in the second round, Fruit Costumes, which beat up on the much heralded Wetsuits to the tune of over 5,000 votes.

In our closest battle, surprisingly Bowling Shirts edged out Sweater Vests by just 284 votes.  Sweater Vests received a lot of nominations, but turns out people just couldn't resist seeing Daniel in turquoise.  In what's sure to be an interesting 2nd round match up, Bowling Shirt will face Hawaiian Shirts, which soundly defeated Argyle — proving once again that no one is a winner when they're wearing argyle.

In a monster upset for fashion, Ugly Sweaters had a 32 percentage point victory over Formal Jackets.  Turns out our stylist was right: People aren't ready to see a formal Daniel Tosh yet.  But voting did Daniel's favorite team proud, as Sports Jerseys edged out Track Jackets by just under 2,000 votes, probably with a little support from Miami fans.

Lastly, Metal Tees took down my personal favorite Starter Jackets by a slim margin, 327 votes, though I don't think anything is more metal than rockin' an old school Starter Jacket!  We'll see if Slayer is ready to kick some ass against Mesh Shirts in the next round, as the slightly see-through top beat up on Bathrobes by a 20% margin.  Metal vs. Mesh is sure to be an epic battle.

And that's it.  Your 1st round winners and loser and your 2nd round match ups.

And then check back tomorrow at noon for the start of 2nd round voting!  It's down to our elite eight articles of clothing…
