Who still wears white shirts besides politicians?
White shirts are still the best choice when you wear a suit and also work well with e.g. good denims or chinos, a sporty dark blue jacket and brown leather belt and shoes.

Edit: What I don't understand is the American love for button down shirts.

It looks better when you don't wear a tie.

True. Except sometimes a suit looks sharper if you wear a tie.

Then you don't wear a button-down collar.  :bleeding:

Button downs are nice cuz if you lose your collar tabs on your regular shirts you look like Dilbert.  Nothing easier to lose than a collar tab, or to leave it when laundering so it melts.

I like wearing button downs under sweaters.

When outfitted head-to-toe by the generous Mr. Jos. A. Bank, Clothier (Ret.), I always favor white or thinly striped-on-white.  I find this tendency towards checkered dress shirts (gingham?) with a suit/tie unnerving.

Fun fact:  when I worked in their warehouse, they had a squad of little old ladies in their QA/QC department.  Wasn't a woman under the age of 60 there  That shit didn't come off the loading dock without going through them first, glasses all down on their noses, inspecting everything.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You know they sell spare collar stays, right?  You can get them by the 100 for just a few bucks.
