White Oxford shirt

The Oxford shirt is a classic men's shirt that has been a staple in men's fashion for decades. The name 'Oxford' refers to the fabric the shirt is made from - a tightly-woven cotton fabric with a distinctive textured surface. The benefits of an Oxford shirt are its durability and, in particular, the tightly-woven fabric makes it more resistant to wrinkles, which makes it a popular choice for everyday wear or in the office. The button-down collar, as seen on this Oxford shirt from Les Deux, is the most popular collar for an Oxford shirt and pairs well with a relaxed and classic style.
