If you haven’t heard of the modern retro swing band BadaBing BadaBoom, that means you’ve never heard their snappy ditty “Crisp White Shirt.” You can listen to it via songwriter Eddie Mugavero’s Web site. A choice selection of lyrics:
A crisp white shirt, stylin’ tie
Jacket, slacks, shoes that shine
Starched light, martinized
Cotton’s hot buttoned up or notYou got long sleeve, French cuff
Studly, cuddly, sensuous
Hey guys, three words
You can’t go wrong with
A crisp white shirtWomen will confirm if you wanna make heads turn
And boyfriends to get jealous
I’m tellin’ you now so listen up fellas
Silk may show you hustle
And T’s may show your muscle
But the guy the girls are choosin’
Is wearing that brand new Van Heusen
(Full lyrics here.)
Shorter “Crisp White Shirt”: guys look awesome in a crisp white shirt. And so I present a selection of gorgeous guys (starting with Antonio Banderas above) who look even more gorgeous in a white shirt.

Okay, so that last one’s not exactly crisp. But rumpled can be nice, too.

I absolutely agree.
french cuff shirts look good.
