Fit comes first
A shirt looks composed when it allows easy movement and sits cleanly under a jacket. Check the shoulders, the space around the collar and the way the front closes. Buttons should not strain when you sit. Sleeves should reach comfortably towards the wrist without bunching excessively.
Notice the proportions
A collar frames the face, while cuffs and the shirt hem help define the overall outline. Consider how the shirt will be worn most often. A shirt intended for tucking needs enough length to remain in place. An untucked look benefits from a hem that works with the rise of your trousers.
Let texture do some work
An ivory or white shirt can be visually interesting through its fabric and construction alone. Pair a smooth shirt with a textured belt or a softly structured trouser. Keep the details balanced, and follow the garment label when cleaning or pressing. Good presentation comes from fit, care and a thoughtful combination, rather than a crowded set of accessories.
