Are all white shirts considered "crisp"??

That is a great question. I think it is a cliche' and Graver loves to use it.

Lots of designers use the phrase "crisp white shirt". Everyone seems to think it is a wardrobe must.

I think I must be one of the few women on the planet who doesn't own a white button down shirt or blouse. Maybe it's because I wore white oxford cloth shirts for 12 years of school as part of a uniform. I realize that white shirts come in a variety of fabrics, but to be honest button down shirts just aren't my thing. I don't think they are very comfortable.

Only if hosts say so.

I don't like "crisp" button down shirts. I feel so uncomfortable in them. The collar bothers me too. LOL

I have a few linen shirts. Linen is anything but crisp.

I actually appreciate the distinction in the description because too many white button down shirts have polyester, rayon, spandex, knit, etc. To say "crisp" let's me know exactly what I'm getting. I wear them to the office and I love them! They dress up straight leg or trouser jeans for casual Fridays. They polish my outfit under a lightweight jacket and slim skirt.

I've typically relied on Land's End for them since I like them with straight hems (not hi-lo or curved).

I'ts usually a shirt that is all or mostly all cotton with some body to it so the collar will stand up.

@wilma- I don't have a "crisp white blouse" either. I don't think I've ever owned one.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
