The blue shirt is probably the most underrated piece in a man's wardrobe, which is strange because most men own several and reach for them constantly.

Most men have one version and make it work harder than it should. We've been thinking specifically about the blue shirts that earn their place across more than one situation, from the kind you can wear open over a t-shirt on a weekend to the ones that look exactly right under a navy blazer without disappearing into it.
