Since the beginning of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and gladiator sandals were worn by actual gladiators, button-down shirts have been a go-to staple to add elegance, sophistication and a tailored look to one’s outfit. Companies like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein are notorious for pumping out button-down shirts season after season with very little changes besides color and print.
If you think this post is about how I despise button-down shirts, it’s not. I own so many button-down tops I could open up my own store. My issue is how to give a fashion staple that is so classic a refreshed edgy look. My answer to this question is a really cool accessory that is easy to wear and adds more personality to your outfit: the collar chain.
Collar chains are a new way to redefine the classic button-down shirt. Collar chains come in various designs that are simple and classy for people who are just starting out with this trend. Then there are the fun collar chains that feature animals or intricate designs that really stand out on their own, regardless of what button-down you’re wearing.
How To: Collar chains are such a fun way to change up the look of your button-down. You should try wearing them with a button-down shirt that has a fun bold pattern if you really want to turn heads. If you don’t want to attract too much attention, collar chains can be worn with a solid color button-down shirt so the accessory can capture all the attention.
