Every Button-Up Shirt You Should Own, and How to Style It
"Every respectable man should own at least one solid button-up. I mean, you should really, truthfully own multiple. As much as we love a humble white tee, the variety of button-up shirts are still the cornerstone of a man's wardrobe. You need one to wear to the office. You need one to wear with a tuxedo. You need one to wear with a pair of jeans and a blazer."
"We don't care what you think about menswear's stuffiest getup, there are moments when a suit is the only thing you can wear. But honestly, we think you should wear one more often. Every guy looks better in one. Pairing a button-up with a suit isn't rocket science, but the more men we see with skin-tight suits and stretchy cut-away collar shirts, the more we think it might be."
Button-up shirts are essential, versatile pieces that belong in multiple iterations in every man's wardrobe. Different fabrics serve distinct functions: poplin for suits, linen for the beach, and flannel for casual versatility. A well-tailored suit combined with a classic button-up flatters most men; avoid skin-tight suits and stretchy cut-away collar shirts. Attention to accessories can personalize the look, as exemplified by A$AP Rocky's use of classic tailoring and distinctive accoutrements. Button-ups pair with tuxedos, blazers, jeans, and office attire. Layering, such as wearing a tank top beneath a button-up, offers additional styling options.
