About This Article
Dress shirts are super versatile, and you can dress them up or down depending on what look you're going for. A tucked-in dress shirt always looks more polished, so it's a good look for dressier events. Leaving your shirt untucked is great when you want to look more laid back and casual. To look even more casual, you can unbutton the top 2 or 3 buttons on your shirt. You also have a lot of options when it comes to the pants you wear with your dress shirts. Slacks and dress pants will obviously make you look polished and put together, while jeans will give you a casual weekend vibe. Shorts also look great with dress shirts during the warmer months. For tips on how to shop for dress shirts, like what fits and colors work best, check out the full article below!
