The Versatility of Oxford Cloth Button-Down Shirt
The Oxford Cloth Button-Down shirt (OCBD) is one of those garments that sits somewhere between formal and casual. Technically it’s a dress shirt, but in reality it behaves more like a sports shirt. You can wear it with a suit, with jeans, under a blazer, or even with shorts. When worn without a tie, no matter how you style it, it adds a relaxed, casual tone to an outfit. It’s a really versatile wardrobe staple, and below are some photos in case you need a bit of inspiration on how to wear it.
