A blue button down shirt is a basic must-have in any work wardrobe. I like it because while it can be treated as a neutral and worn with black, brown and grey bottoms - it still have more personality than white. Don't get me wrong, I love a white shirt but wearing it every single day can get boring.
If I have convinced you to add one to your work wear wardrobe, here's what you need to look out for: The first thing I would look for is fabric quality—nothing matters unless the fabric is beautiful. I'm a big 100-percent something and not blends [person], so either 100 percent cotton, 100 percent linen, or 100 percent tencel. The second thing I'd look for is silhouette and versatility (i.e. where am I wearing this to?). Third, see if your button-up is pre-washed or not. One way some brands cut costs and deliver the lowest priced garments is that they don't pre-wash the garments. They just cut, sew, and sell it. So if you wear it and toss that into the washing machine, it suddenly might not fit you anymore. Once you have these things down, you have to figure out fit.
How do you feel about a button down shirt for office wear?
You've styled it so well!
