It’s bor­ing. It’s bland. It’s not sexy. But it works.

Because it’s time­less. It’s ver­sa­tile. It’s old reliable.

A man should have at least one white dress shirt in his closet. It will become a sta­ple for his wardrobe, much like a pair of jeans. This is because it matches any color suit, in any sea­son, at any event. Match­ing a suit and tie to a white shirt is a breeze, sav­ing time and money. Some­times, we just have more press­ing con­cerns. Also, you can be bold with the tie since it’s now the cen­ter­piece, the white con­trast of your dress shirt serv­ing as a blank can­vas. If you’re not wear­ing a suit, you can wear a white dress shirt with just about any­thing. It goes well with a pair of jeans and a blazer. Maybe with chino’s for a friend’s sum­mer party or at your favorite bar. Or at the White House.

Also, if you want to avoid the sheer, see through look and not wear a white under­shirt, then look for some­thing with a stronger weave. Twill or oxford weaves work well.

Here are some dif­fer­ent ways to wear it.

Brad Pitt  styles a fedora and slacks.

And Monty Cliff pair­ing his with a blazer and red tie.

A relaxed look from Johnny Depp with the neck­lace bring­ing it together, almost like a tie.

And well, even she might want to wear it.
