A Basic Shirt Wardrobe, Part One

In "A Basic Shirt Wardrobe, Part One," Die, Workwear! takes a practical and thoughtful look at building a versatile shirt collection. Reflecting on how his preferences have evolved over fifteen years, he acknowledges the shifting importance of fit, style, and practicality in choosing shirts.

Tracing its origins to Brooks Brothers in 1896, Guy explores how the oxford cloth button-down (OCBD) became a symbol of Ivy Style and American casual elegance. He discusses how fit—once a personal struggle—has become easier to navigate with experience, emphasizing the balance between comfort and proportion. His recommendations focus on light blue OCBDs as an ideal starting point, valued for their ability to be dressed up or down.

Moving beyond oxfords, he touches on the practicality of dress shirts, poplin, chambray, and seasonal fabrics like linen and flannel, explaining how they fit into different wardrobes and lifestyles. This piece is an excellent primer for anyone looking to refine their shirt collection with well-considered, classic choices.

The Rise of Front Office and Its Thoughtful Design

Founded by Ken Sakata, Front Office is an Australian fashion brand that blends minimalist design with thoughtful fabric choices. Sakata transitioned into fashion after experimenting with an art project called Queensland Football Club in 2022. Initially selling ironic merchandise, the project unexpectedly gained traction, leading to the launch of Front Office just last year.

Inspired by '80s and '90s workwear, corporate uniforms, and sportswear, the brand focuses on subtle, functional, and elevated essentials. Front Office’s slogan, "clothing for quiet spaces," reflects its understated yet refined aesthetic. Known for its rare and high-quality fabrics, the brand sources Japanese linens, wool denim, and brushed cotton twills to create versatile, wearable pieces.

Front Office has quickly gained a following for its clean, contemporary approach to workwear and city style. With regular drops and a focus on craftsmanship, the brand has positioned itself as a rising name in modern, restrained menswear.
