Fringe Benefits

As my stock of button-downs (chambray, silk and otherwise) grows increasingly large, I'm noticing more and more that they're really the building block of any great grown-up look, no matter the season. Take this great statement feathered coat with an army green silk button down. The button down helps offset the coat, creating the perfect wear-anywhere outfit with the simple denim and great shades. No matter Summer, Fall or Winter, an essential button-down will add polish and versatility to any look.
