Embracing the minimalistic style movement has not happened overnight. The process has been long with many, many, oh so many bad fashion and financial choices along the way.
Despite the long winding road there has been a glimmer of hope along the way. The black long sleeved buttoned shirt. Otherwise known as the beacon of light. I remember as a fresh faced 18 year old purchasing clothes for my first office job and being completely lost as to where to start. Shopping with my mother I was being taught the lesson of investing in a shirt of this style in both white and black. A lesson which has stuck.
At Seymour & Ford we always talk about necessity reigning supreme over a basic want that is usually fleeting. The black long sleeved buttoned shirt is an essential component to any wardrobe so shop sans guilt as this is truly a necessary item. What is ideal about this style staple is that you don’t have to look very far to find one either in store or online no matter your budget. It is something always in vogue and well priced. A great place to start is global powerhouse UNIQLO who specialise in producing staple pieces and typically these run in a variety of material types.
Dress it up, dress it down that is the beauty of items built for necessity as they are first and foremost versatile.
