The Button-Down Shirt

No one item is more essential to the preppy wardrobe than the button-down shirt. Ideal colors for the piece are white, blue, or baby pink — bonus points for gingham, madras, or seersucker. Stripes are fabulous too, as found in J.Crew's Tuxedo Shirt ($138). Layering your button-downs is next-level prep.
