CLASSIC ESSENTIALS - NO. 2 THE OXFORD SHIRT
The oxford shirt is definitely a basic piece that always looks classy and sophisticated.
I really do think that oxford shirts look amazing in all varieties of colors, but for my closet essentials, I decided to pick out my black, white, and sky blue ones. The oxford shirt, I set aside for my lazy days when I still want to look nice -- I'll simply pair them with some blue cuffed jeans and nice, simple heels. I consider the white and sky blue oxford shirt very classy and something a classy closet definitely needs.
Where to find:
I've found Ralph Lauren to have amazing oxford shirts. Their oxford shirts come in amazing colors -- even the sky blue (it's actually quite hard to find "the perfect tone" sky blue oxford shirt) and they have great classy fits. After all, Ralph Lauren has been around for a long time! Ralph Lauren oxford shirts are a bit pricey (roughly around $90+), but in my opinion, they are completely worth it. If you aren't looking to splurge on these shirts, you can also find great alternatives at affordable prices at Forever 21 and H&M.
