Get a polo shirt if you want to display your guns but still have a collar.

It will look more natural, as the oxford button-down looks tacky and slovenly with chopped sleeves.

Its flat-bill level bro gear, and youre better than that.

Roll up the sleeves if you need extra air.

That look says ready for action while short sleeves say odd man-child.

Most cheap choices of button down collar shirts have a lot of polyester in them which wont breathe.

Cloth button down shirt

The lower cost brings too many negatives to make it worth your while.

Its a false idol and should be put on the pyre at your first opportunity.

Its supposed toframe your face, lengthen your neck, and add breadth to your chest.

Long Sleeves are a Must

If you want a shirt that lays down, the buttons are superfluous.

If it binds or tugs when you move, its not a true Oxford shirt.

You shouldnt be wearing it to a formal work environment, ever.

Opt For Natural Fabrics

While it still isnt appropriate for a white collar job, it can make you lovably rumpled.
