“A short sleeve-button down gives me the same look without the bulkiness.” (That said, because they are predominantly worn in summer, a lot of the short-sleeve button-downs on the list are starting to sell out - the upside to this is that many are now on sale.) “I don’t like having double long sleeves,” Higgins says. While they’re typically considered a summer staple, social-media manager Zach Higgins notes that short-sleeve button-downs can be worn year-round as a layer that offers more ventilation beneath sweaters or jackets.
They were called “difficult” and “controversial” by multiple people we spoke to in reporting this story, with one even saying that short-sleeve button-downs are “cursed.” Henrik Sunde Wilberg, an assistant professor of German at the University of Minnesota, says to blame “Tan France and Bonobos” for convincing “too many guys that a bold shirt with slim short sleeves adds personality to their wardrobe.” (“It doesn’t,” he argues.)

Short-sleeve button-down shirts are admittedly a taboo garment.
