![]() Equipment’s silk shirt earned rave reviews from stylist Jasmine Caccamo and Birdy Grey founder Grace Lee. If you’re over oversize, this is one of the more fitted shirts on our list. Sizes: XXS–XXL | Fabric: Silk | Design details: Two chest pockets, point collar, button cuffs | Price: $$$ If you want a true men’s shirt, consider this Everlane oxford that Biz Lindsay, director of brand marketing at Harry’s, has two or three in rotation. Even after doing a closet purge of old button-downs, she still kept this one around because its boxiness makes it versatile enough to look equally nice tucked in or left open. Lifestyle blogger Kristina Zias has also praised the shirt, because its looser fit makes it a good option for people with bigger busts. (She suggests choosing your usual size.) Greene wears it in just about every way, including unbuttoned over lingerie and with high-waisted jeans. Christiana Greene, owner of Bum-Cake Vintage, considers it a favorite for its oversize silhouette that isn’t so oversize that it gets in the way. (There’s a reason for that: It’s made from the same fabric Everlane uses for its men’s oxfords.) But the menswear influence simultaneously gives it a classic feel - and fit. This shirt is more affordable and slightly more square in shape than Ayr’s, with less drapey movement. Sizes: 00–16 | Fabric: Cotton | Design details: Chest pocket, curved hem, relaxed fit | Price: $Įverlane was the brand we heard about the most, with several of our panelists explaining that for the price, the quality of its button-downs is top-tier. But if you’re looking for a looser fit, go with the size you usually take. I sized down per her suggestion (I usually have to size up for button-downs) to get a more tailored classic cut. Unlike other button-downs that sometimes don’t close all the way, Sokolov uttered an immediate “Oh, this is great!” once she tried hers on. Kate Sokolov, co-founder of Social Goods, previously praised it for being big-bust-friendly. The shirt also features a boxy but not-too-big silhouette. “I feel put together but not trying too hard, polished but not preppy,” Pawling says. ![]() ![]() That keeps it from feeling too buttoned-up. It’s nicely opaque and not sheer at most you might see, say, a lacy black bra peeking through. Iva Pawling, founder of Richer Poorer, explains that its appearance of a classic starched shirt betrays how soft it really is. The Oxford cotton that the button-down is made of - which the company says is milled in Italy - has a pleasing weightiness without feeling too heavy. Ayr’s backstory for the shirt is that it “was a banker on Wall Street until she cashed out and started a new career as a florist on Nantucket.” I thought that was the right description once I tried it myself after requesting it from the brand - it has a look that falls somewhere between vintage Ralph Lauren and Ina Garten’s Hamptons uniform. The Deep End is the Platonic ideal of a button-down - the one I imagined in my head as I started reporting this guide.
