Linen and linen-cotton blends are natural fibers that are popular for their breathability but they will wrinkle, although that’s often the intended look. You may also see cotton blended with a hint of elastane in the case of slim fits and stretch shirting.

Fabric: Cotton, and preferably organic cotton, is the favored fabric of button-downs for its affordability, breathability, durability, and easy-to-care-for factor (most are machine washable).While all share common button and tailoring attributes, anything goes in terms of color and pattern-play around with monochrome, striped, plaid, collars of all sizes, pockets, no pockets, pleats, exaggerated or puff sleeves and a-symmetrical and curved hems. “Whether it's for the day, night, casual, dressed-up, there’s a button-down shirt for every body shape and every occasion.” Focus on the four main styles: The classic oxford, the slim fit, the oversized (or boyfriend) and the collarless shirt. Style: A classic button-down-a shirt with a collar and rows of buttons in the front-might have started out as a menswear basic but modern button-downs (or button-ups) are gender neutral, according to New York-based stylist Tracy Taylor.What To Look For With The Best Button-Down Shirts Finally, we took into account our own personal experience with wearing button-downs as a foundational wardrobe staple to come up with our final list of recommendations.
