I don't know what it is about the look, but I am quite a sucker for a guy in a button down shirt. When the big trend in mens fashion meant that every guy on the street was wearing a Ben Sherman or other some such trendy designer's button down shirt, untucked with the cuffs unbuttoned and hanging to his fingertips, I was in heaven.

That look is on its way out, but I still love buttondown shirts, especially these by Robert Graham. The shirts go beyond the simple white executive button down, with colors, stripes, and interesting details around the collar and cuffs. They're not so loud and overly "trendy" that a guy couldn't wear this to work (in a slightly more fashion forward, or casual, office), but still cool enough to go to dinner.

The shirts are available at HisFavoriteShirt.com. The style shown, Jacques, is $158.
