The button-down shirts from NøLSON are part of the Böda collection. Within this collection, there are three different colors available for the button-down shirt.

What is a button-down shirt?

A button-down shirt is a type of shirt where the collar points are fastened to the front of the shirt with buttons. This ensures that the collar points stay down and do not flip up.

History of the button-down shirt

The button-down shirt has an interesting history dating back to the early 20th century. In 1896, John E. Brooks, the grandson of the founder of the American clothing store Brooks Brothers, opened a branch in England. He was inspired by the button-down collar worn by English polo players, which prevented the collar from flipping up during the game. Brooks brought this concept back to America and introduced it in the United States in 1900. The button-down shirt quickly gained popularity, thanks in part to the rise of sportswear and relaxed dress codes in universities. This shirt became associated with the preppy style and grew into a symbol of casual chic. Over the years, different variations of the button-down collar have emerged, including the soft button-down and the medium spread button-down. Today, the button-down shirt remains a classic garment that is still widely worn in both formal and informal settings.

Assortment

NØLSON offers a variety of button-down shirts, including the popular Böda White, Böda Navy, and Böda Blue. The Böda White shirt has a classic look and is perfect for formal occasions. The Böda Navy shirt is a great choice for a more casual look, while the Böda Blue shirt has a bolder appearance and is suitable for both formal and informal occasions. Each of these shirts offers a perfect fit and is finished with attention to detail, making them not only comfortable to wear but also a great addition to any wardrobe.

Specifications

Material

The Oxford fabric is a durable fabric commonly used in the production of shirts. This fabric has a unique texture created by using two different yarns: colored yarn for the weft and white yarn for the warp. The resulting fabric is sturdy and long-lasting, making it ideal for everyday wear. Oxford fabric is often used for casual clothing such as button-down shirts but can also be worn in a formal setting. In addition to its durability, Oxford fabric has a high breathability, providing extra comfort while wearing. An Oxford shirt is a valuable investment that will last for years and looks stylish.

Button-Down Collar

The collar of a button-down shirt is a significant and recognizable feature of this type of shirt. It has two small buttons that keep the collar points neatly in place and prevent them from flipping up. The collar itself has a distinctive shape, with a standing collar and pointed ends pointing downwards. This design gives the shirt a stylish and neat appearance and allows it to be worn with or without a tie. The button-down collar can be made from durable Oxford fabric. The shirt can be worn in various situations and styled in different ways.

Cuff

The button-down shirt features a single cuff with 2 horizontally placed buttons. This allows you to adjust the cuff to your preference. It ensures that the shirt remains comfortably in place throughout the day without being too tight around your wrist. As a result, the shirt is suitable for various occasions and can be worn in a more casual manner as well as during formal events.

Benefits of the button-down shirt

Comfort

The button-down shirt distinguishes itself from other shirts with its collar buttons. This ensures that the collar stays neatly in place and doesn’t rise up. As a result, the shirt always looks well-groomed and tidy, contributing to a professional appearance. Additionally, it prevents the collar from getting in the way while wearing it, increasing comfort.

Versatile

Another advantage of the button-down shirt is its versatility in use. It can be worn for both formal and informal occasions. For a formal and professional look, the button-down shirt can be combined with a tie and a blazer, suitable for business meetings or important presentations. On the other hand, the button-down shirt can also be worn casually by pairing it with jeans and sneakers. This makes the shirt suitable for various occasions, from informal gatherings to nights out with friends. Due to this versatility, the button-down shirt is an essential item in the wardrobe of any man who wants to look stylish and comfortable.

Timeless Classic

A third advantage of the button-down shirt is its timeless appeal and its status as a classic in men’s fashion. The shirt has been a popular choice for decades and continues to be beloved for its stylish and timeless character. As a result, the button-down shirt is a durable investment that can be worn for many years and is unlikely to go out of fashion quickly. Moreover, the quality and craftsmanship put into the design and production of a button-down shirt ensure its durability. This makes the shirt a valuable addition to the wardrobe. Any man in search of stylish clothing that lasts long is in the right place.
