Shirts

The right shirt can elevate an entire look. I favor high collars, ruffles, and a bit of flair, not subtle, but always sincere.

• Coofandy – ruffle & tuxedo-front shirts
• Amazon – keyword “steampunk dress shirt,” “Victorian shirt”
• Occasional handmade finds on Etsy

Notes

• White or cream for contrast; black or jewel-tone for mystery.
• Linen when I can get it. Cotton blends otherwise.
