Off-the-cuff wisdom for your button-down blues.

A great shirt goes a long way.

Crisp and clean, a dress shirt can sharply frame a guy’s face during a presentation and absorb his perspiration during a tough round of questioning. It can play a supporting role by enhancing a suit jacket or stand alone as the centerpiece of his outfit. Your shirt, like it or not, is speaking for you — make sure it’s saying what you intend.

This spring, take stock of your shirts and consider incorporating some of the season’s coolest colours, cuts and patterns into your wardrobe.

When you button your shirt you should feel confident and in control, not stuffed and sweaty. Here, six sporty looks to help you make a statement without saying a word.

    Really like the white tuxedo shirt, super classy. The dotted shirt is sexy and elegant while the coloured ben sherman shirt has flare!
