The 14-Shirt Wardrobe

First Monday of the Month…MANic Monday!

So…a 14-shirt wardrobe.  Say what?  Clearly, I’m speaking to the guys (as women need far more than 14 shirts )…You, the Men, however  truly need 14 dress shirts.  Dress shirts are an essential to a man’s wardrobe. 

The 14 Shirt Wardrobe

• 14 shirts allow you to have 7 at the cleaners and 7 in the closet.    Makes sense, right?

White

• 2 Straight Collars

• 1 Spread Collar

• 1 Button Down Collar

2 Fancy Patterns (subtle gray stripe & subtle gray/blue check, or paisley)

Blue

• 2 Straight Collars

• 1 Spread Collar

• 1 Button Down Collar

1 Pink or Off-White (Ecru)

1 Light Lavender

2 Contrasting Collar and Cuffs

Contrast cuff and collar are a great addition to casual and dressy casual occasions. Although not generally appropriate for the work place, they offer a great option for casual days at the office like Fridays.  It’s easy and fun to alternate shirt fabric choices with cuff and collar choices.

  

 This is a very subtle collar and cuff…

And that’s it…14 shirts.  Easy.  And consider it done.

 

And another gentle reminder:

 

• Ties should complement the suit or coat, and shirts should complement the tie.

 

 

And lastly, I love, love, love this look:

PS – No one looks good in a short-sleeved dress shirt.  

 

Coming Wednesday…Update on “Of Mice and Terry”.
