The Button Down Edit

The layering essential is proving itself to be a wardrobe mainstay.

Undoubtedly, it's the summer of menswear. From a '90s-favorite loafer revival to equally tailored wide-leg trousers— fashion is having an androgynous moment. However, no unisex-inspired look is complete without the button-down shirt. As essential as a good pair of jeans, the dress shirt has more than proven itself as a wardrobe staple.

A tried and true summer uniform, the button-down is particularly versatile. For a more casual look—style the shirt unbuttoned and pair it with a tank or tee (and of course denim shorts). Or when a beach day rolls around, the shirt effortlessly works over a swimsuit. A wardrobe hero, the button-down shirt can be paired with practically everything. Here, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best dress shirts of the season.
