THE WHITE SHIRT
The button down white shirt is a staple in many of our closets, often being thought of as boring and practical.
However, the white shirt is anything but boring....its a classic, timeless piece that is appropriate for any occasion.
Remember the following rules when selecting a white shirt:
1) You need options - Everyone should have at least 4 white shirts. Dress, Evening, Casual and Fun.
2) One Size Does NOT Fit All - Fit is everything. Focus on a tailored fit as your first shirt option as it will be appropriate for any occasion.
3) It's all in the details - Explore different collars, sleeve lengths, silhouettes and materials.
4) Care - Read Labels and take to a trusted dry cleaner. When in doubt to preserve your favorite whites.
Check out the following stores and designers for the perfect White Shirt:

Simplicity + Classic = CHIC
Stay Stylish!
