To look cool? To look like a wannabe movie star?

Why would anyone wear a replica anything outside of a costume party?

Seeing as that I only own 4 dress shirts. I think I have a good selection.

-White french cuff
-White barrel cuff
-Light Blue barrel cuff
-White/light blue stripe barrel cuff

I would like to add more patterns and colors, but I just dont have the need. I maybe wear one once a month.

The first 5 shirts should be white. A few solid blues. Then blue/white stripes, white/grey stripes, and endless checks.

That's what I was thinking. I have a grand total of one black shirt and it gets worn maybe once a year, if that.
