Shirts & Tops

A shirt collection doesn't need to be complicated. A couple of things worn well beat a closet full of shirts you're unsure about. This section runs through the shirt that should anchor everything else, how a full wardrobe assembles around a small number of interchangeable pieces, what business casual actually permits once you stop guessing, and how to add layers without adding bulk once the weather turns. Read these in order if you're starting from scratch: shirt first, then the rest of the wardrobe, then the specific problems of dressing for work and for cold weather. Each guide assumes you want fewer, better decisions, not a longer shopping list. The goal is a closet that works on a Tuesday morning without much thought.
