while I've done okay developing a personal style with casual cloths, I've never had to dress like a real grown up.
I'm now confronted with buying dress shirts, and its been challenging to find ones with slim cuts (the sticky thread in this forum has been quite helpful).
My question is much more fundamental/newbish in nature. The dress shirts in most stores are packaged and pinned up six ways to Sunday. There's tons of paper and cardboard and plastic and pins. Often there are no "loose" shirts to try on.
What is the etiquette here? How am I supposed to try these things on at the store to figure out if I like it or not? Do I have to buy it shirts try them at home and return the ones I don't like? I never see any packaging in the dressing rooms, so I assume people don't undo the shirts in the stores.
Sorry again for the basic question. Love this community BTW. Lots of good advice and witty people.
