I am never giving up classic button downs! </p> <p>Are you opposed to using a belt? </p> <p>I think that the knitwear which you layer over the shirt shouldn't be skin tight either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-button-down-shirts#post-126758 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:34:58 +0000 fathenry 126758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, thanks so much for suggesting that I turn up the cuffs, what a huge difference that made! Also, I tried tucking the tails into my pants and the shirt stayed put much better. Rute and Taylor, thanks so much for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-button-down-shirts#post-125914 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:44:38 +0000 rute 125914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the standard length white button down shirt never goes out of style! In addition, this season, the tunic button down shirt is in every store.<br /> I agree with the ladies, at least for me it has to be fitted at the waist but I haven't found the perfect one yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-button-down-shirts#post-125899 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 07:04:00 +0000 Kari 125899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not, as I just invested in one this year and plan to wear it to death!</p> <p>I echo Taylor's comment about making sure that it fits well, especially around the waist - that's where I felt lumpy before. I also like that when I wear my particular white shirt, which is one of the Carissa Rose shirts, it has hook-and-eye closures rather than buttons, which eliminates gaping and bunching that I get from buttons.</p> <p>I used to struggle with the arms bunching up, but what's helped me is to turn back the cuffs on my shirt to "lock" the outer layer (usually a cardigan, or perhaps a thin sweater) in place so it won't shift around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-button-down-shirts#post-125889 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 06:06:02 +0000 taylor 125889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert here, but for layering, I think they must be VERY fitted , that works best for me. Eliminates the lumpy effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-button-down-shirts#post-125885 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:41:15 +0000 fathenry 125885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the standard length white button down shirt still in style? Why does it look lumpy when it is layered? </p> <p>Has it been replaced by the tunic length? </p>
