Q: What are the rules for wearing a button-down open vs. closed? A: It’s safe to unbutton the first or top two buttons on a dress shirt, but they should never be worn open. In contrast, a more casual button-down, such as this one, can be worn open with a T-shirt underneath. More specifically, button-downs made from denim chambray or those...

To provide you with the specific information needed to solve your fashion dilemmas, we present our new weekly Style Q&As.
Q: Keeping up with trends, I picked up some tighter, slim-cut pants, but my boxers don't really seem to fit into them. What's the solution?
A: Under a slim-cut pant, boxers will bunch up, potentially be visible and definitely feel uncomfortable. The solution to all of these problems is to purchase a few pairs of boxer briefs. Because they fall closer to your body than boxers, boxer briefs will help you get the sleek look you’re after with this season’s slim-cut pants.
Q: I know T-shirts are an essential summer item, but what are some ways I can dress them up, say, for a work function or a barbecue?
A: For an amazing summer piece that pairs beautifully with a basic T-shirt and will see you stylishly through a work function to a barbecue with friends, check out a cotton and linen blend moto jacket. It’s casual enough to let the world know that you’re off-duty, but a slim fit coupled with a zip front give it serious polish.
Q: I'm not exactly in great shape, so I feel pretty bad taking off my shirt poolside and for other shirtless summer occasions. Is there any way to pull off a poolside look without having to expose my upper half?
A: As long as you’re not going swimming in it, a polo shirt or another summery T-shirt will help you achieve a cool poolside look without having to bare your body. To seem as though your shirt choice was based on the event you’re attending rather than your body consciousness, select a polo in a punchy summer hue like this red one.
Q: I've picked up a lot of nice button-down shirts in the past couple of years, but they all seem to require too much upkeep in terms or ironing. What are low-maintenance fabrics I can look out for?
A: Finding the time in a super packed schedule to iron dress shirts is a challenge for most busy guys. For low-maintenance shirts that are still work appropriate, you don’t necessarily have to choose a fabric other than cotton. What you want to keep an eye out for is a tag that says “no iron” or “wrinkle-free.” These shirts are typically made from cotton or a cotton-polyester blend but have been treated in a way that makes them resistant to wrinkles so they look sharp straight out of the wash.
