You'll need to be a lot more specific; it mostly depends on your skin tone, what other colors you're wearing, etc. Main exceptions are plain white and black, which there's no real reason to wear outside of a uniform.

White OCBD can look really fresh with a tweed sports coat >>17820840

>>17820887
True, I just said black and white since he said not under a suit (although you're still right since there are plenty of jackets that aren't a part of a suit).

>>17820840
Khaki or jeans

A plain white Oxford, and in particular especially a blue and white striped Oxford (pic rel) are worth purchasing imo. Can dress them up or down, wear them under jumpers in the winter. Pretty versatile and cheaper variants are available because the style is so ubiquitous

You are retarded, they are THE go to fashion staples
You should NEVER wear a cranberry colored button up or a turquoise one

What fucking dork wears this outside of a job?

>>17820784
i'm in on tan currently. black is overrated.

Various shades of blue grey and white. Navy black and earth tones can be fine but are harder. Nothing else imo.

I like the checked Ralph Lauren polo button-downs w the colored embroidery on the breast

He said casual and not under a suit, so I assumed he was just looking for basic recommendations that would look good in a business casual setting. If you wear just a plain black or white button down with the rest of the outfit being typical business casual shit like slacks and derbies, it is likely you will look like a waiter if you aren't careful about the other colors. As I said in my original reply though, these are just very general recommendations, since the OP gave very few specifics. Of course you can dress a plain black or white button down well without a jacket if you're not an idiot, e.g. with fabric choice as mentioned by others in the thread.

>>17820895
I didn't read OP's entire blogpost ngl

>>17820784
pretty much anything except black navy or indigo

>>17820784
Light blue is a winner if it has a button down collar. Small collars usually look like shit. Look into Kamakura and Proper Cloth. Get one from Uniqlo first, not the slim fit one.

Kind of unrelated but are big folds at the sleeves a big deal? I'm short so every shirt has sleeves that are 2-3 inches too long for my arms. I don't know if I should do anything about it or if it's fine.

Get the shirts tailored, silly.

>>17820784
next time say pic not rel
>>17821077
mall garbage
>>17821094
ehh chambray is a great down choice
>>17822423
it's not fine

>>17821034
Be imaginative anon. This piece can be worn with practically anything. Look how good Leo looks in a shirt and sweatpants, for example

>>17822463
not a button down

>>17822470
No need to be pedantic. Button downs can be worn with anything is the point

>>17821034
Exactly.

I knew a dude who wore a button down shirt tucked into jeans year round and on any occasion. Seemed to work for him.

>I knew a dude who wore a button down shirt tucked into jeans year round
Yeah, me too

>>17822423
Well, if you're buying dress shirts, you can buy your exact sleeve length. If they're just sized like M, L, XL, etc. then get them tailored when you buy them.

>>17822497
Do you know where I can find a dark green (not olive or pastel) shirt that doesn't have a button down colour?

>>17822532
milestones is an amazing record

>>17822494
Is that not normal in usa?

>>17823926
Unironically zara has a nice one

>>17820784
avoid navy and wine
