The Shirt
The dress, or woven, shirt is the uniform for the cube-dwelling masses, but it's also the most functional, versatile and frequently used item in a man's wardrobe. "In some ways, wovens are just as versatile as T-shirts," noted Lee Strom, senior marketing manager for SanMar Corporation, Issaquah, Wash. "Pair a woven with jeans, and it's instantly dressed down and casual. But, put that same woven under a blazer with khakis, it's a little more dressed up. Or pair a woven with a suit—the look is even more formal. It's the same shirt, but many different looks."
