^^ I mean, that's sort of a lame shirt with a built-in roll -- I wish I could find a picture of just a 1950s-style button shirt with the sleeves rolled over once

how do you suggest i differentiate in casual conversation between a shirt that has buttons on the front and one that does not
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 3 August 2009 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, it makes sense that there is a term to distinguish between shirts and t-shirts that emphasizes the buttons, and you don't often need to to talk about the buttons on the collar, and when you do you can call it an Oxford collar, so appropriating "button-down/up" for the main buttons seems sensible to me.

what i sort of hate are the shirts that are sold pre-rolled, buttoned-up somewhere along the sleeve.
― omar little, Monday, 3 August 2009 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
also I was trying to make the thread quickly to lure people from the other thread, yes yes button-down means collar, "button-up" seems to me like how only women in the U.S. refer to shirts, blah blah blah, if you're a style mod and you care just make it "button shirt" and chillax

A woven shirt (ie not a stretchy fabric) with buttons down the front is called a "shirt".

A shirt with buttons and a collar that IS stretchy is a polo shirt. A shirt with buttons that isn't stretchy and is worn casually and has some kind of loud print on it is a "sport shirt". A shirt that IS stretchy and DOESN'T have a collar or buttons is a "T-shirt". And so on.

that pic upthread is a perfect example of why folx need to size up.
Seriously? Shoulder seams are in exactly the right spot, length is good, if n/a has a gut it isn't showing. Sizing up would give him the look everyone's making fun of here.

The sleeves are hardly the only problem with all these shirts. Short-sleeve button-downs need to be patterned or safari style or pretty much anything other than NASA Control Room Engineer 1968.

I like guayaberas. But in the spirit of a fashion "exception", it helps if yr style should be pretty straitlaced except for the shirt. And like everything else, IT SHOULD BE TAILORED.
Do not wear guaybera with mandals and shorts unless you ARE actually PR/Cuban/etc and you are THERE RIGHT NOW.

Guayabera w green army shorts and Sambas = A+++ :D style mayhem!
NASA Control Room Engineer 1968.
But this is hot-cha-cha! NASA Control Room Engineer plus good hair or tattoos or something of your own that's modern, this is very "Houston, we have liftoff."

Granted, even nerds had clothing cut better than what most adults where today, but you had better be athletic as hell to pull off that white button-up.

Just Urban Outfitters, cause every other chain place I thought to try had an uncopyable Flash layout. (I usually get excited about finding shirts with flat cuts on the bottom, but that might actually be a little too flat, especially the way it's fitted.)
