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. 🙂
