Simply stated, a classic white button down is a closet essential. It is a piece that can be dressed up or down, looks good on all body types and never, ever goes out of style.
FIT TIPS + OPTIONS
CLASSIC
{simple, straight fit that is not too fitted, nor too loose; no darts}
TAILORED
{vertical darts below the bust create a more tailored fit}
LOOSE
{horizontal darts below the bust create the illusion of a bigger bust and look less fitted when tucked in; or choose no darts at all}
