Shirt Options





BLUE
Everything goes with a blue shirt. When white seems too stark, sub in one in any shade-from powdery to bright.


CHECKS
There's no better way to breathe life into a gray suit than with a gingham shirt-even a black-and white one does the job.


STRIPED OXFORD
The striped oxford is an all American classic. You can pair it with jeans or khakis-tie optional and feel free to roll up the sleeves.


CONTRAST COLLAR
The contrast collar isn't just for bankers. Worn with a dark suit, the distinguished shirt works for any dressed-up event



MILITARY
Shirts with military detailing have a structured elegance that make them slightly more dressy than the average button-down. Wear one out to dinner, without a tie .


VARIEGATED STRIPES
This suave, Italian-style pattern is better suited for evenings out than boardroom meetings. 
Just keep the number of undone buttons to a minimum.


GRAY
The gray shirt is an underrated alternative to blue and white. In fact, a dove-colored one is an even better complement to navy suits.


PLAID
The associations with grunge and golf have been vanquished. The new breed of plaid  shirt looks well with suits and ties or just tucked into trousers.


PENCIL STRIPES
The pencil-stripe shirt adds dimension to a suit-and-tie without overwhelming it. Just make sure the stripes are slender and the colors are coordinated.


BAND COLLAR
The band-collar shirt had a bad moment during the days of Miami Vice. It's now made a comeback as a worthy alternative to the oxford.


FLORAL PRINT
It takes moxie to pull off a flowerprint shirt. The very confident can wear oversize, brightly coloredstyles; the rest of us should go for something more understated .
