The piece

How to choose and wear a oxford shirt

A button-down shirt in oxford cloth, a slightly textured basket-weave cotton. It sits between a dress shirt and a casual shirt, so it works tucked with tailoring and untucked with chinos.

How to choose

  • A button-down or soft point collar that holds its shape without a tie.
  • Medium-weight oxford cloth; thin fabric looks cheap and wrinkles badly.
  • White and light blue are the classics; pink and striped versions are the next step.

How oxford shirt should fit

Room across the chest to move, no billowing at the waist, cuffs ending at the wrist bone.

Common mistakes

  • Wearing a long, curved-hem shirt untucked.
  • A tie with a button-down collar in formal settings.
  • Buttoning the collar with no tie on a casual outfit.

Care: Wash warm, hang damp, iron the collar and placket; oxford cloth softens with age.

In a capsule: One shirt that covers the office, a date and the weekend.
