Malene Birger White Greville Shirt (My-Wardrobe, $78)

The white button down shirt is a classic for a reason.  To choose the right one, you need to look for a crisp fabric that isn’t see through, good quality buttons and a strong collar.  Nothing looks worse than a cheaply made white shirt with permanently-wrinkled cuffs and collar.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet
