Oh and with button down shirts take your time and browse around. Develop an idea of what styles and even materials to look for and develop a clear idea in your head of what you want. When I first got into the whole button down thing I rushed out and bought a whole bunch of shirts that just look tacky and sh1t in retrospect and I wouldn't consider wearing them out anywhere even remotely nice anymore. Better shirts tend to be dearer but there is both expensive trash and discount gold around.
EDIT: The funny thing, PP, is that while I'm relatively tall (and as I gather, you are too), I have a preference for women who are about 5'4''. I don't know what it is, but 5'3-5'6 is just perfect in my opinion, and for whatever reason I feel bad for shorter men. Now, again, not for shorter men in general, my boy Joe is pretty short and that dude pulls primo tail, but for short men who don't have rockstar confidence (as Joe does). Because I've also noticed that in many instances the shorter girls 5'6 and below are the biggest height snobs. Now obviously if they see an alpha male like Joe who happens to be a little shorter than 6', they won't care, but an average dude will get shut out immediately without 6' height. And I DEFINITELY capitalize on that. And to be honest, every single man I know below 5'9 has bitched about height screwing them............ EXCEPT JOE. So I guess what I'm saying is that for all of you shorter guys out there who bitch about height there's a couple things you can do: you can buy taller shoes (which
I DO and I'm 6'1''), or you can get ROCKSTAR confidence (which I also think I have, and Joe definitely has). Ideally you should do both because both are successful.
Yeah, this is basically why I ask for advice, and from people I know well on this forum, there's only a few that sport the classy button downs on a regular basis.
I've found that most prestigious designers are obsessed with checkered patterns and stupid bull**** like that, when honestly all I want in a sport shirt is one solid color with a very slight pattern in the shirt that is the same color as the main fabric. So for example, a white shirt, with white stripes. I know it sounds redundant and stupid when you type it out, but it looks really good. I don't necessarily have anything against stripes, but I'm looking for a more solid color. Honestly, I want shirts that say "I have money, but I'm not flashy", but the trick here is to be flashy about the shirts being expensive, while not being pretentious. I got a gift of the cash, so I want to be THE MAN in terms of quality (basically, that women will recognize, but men can't tell apart from a $10 shirt from Marshalls'), but I just don't know what to do for sport shirts. Everything else is pretty solid, but I'm having a problem with shirts. And again, NO POLOS, I like polos, but I'm comfortable buying them, I need advice on button downs.
