Hidden Button Shirts You'll Be Glad You Found

The placket is one of those details that separates a shirt that looks considered from one that just looks correct. A hidden button placket does something small but meaningful. It gives the front of a shirt a clean, unbroken line that reads as more dressed up without requiring you to actually dress up. Worn open at the collar it looks relaxed in a way a standard placket never quite manages. Buttoned up fully it looks like you actually thought about it. We find ourselves reaching for these on occasions where a regular shirt feels slightly underdone but a proper formal shirt feels like too much. The gap between smart casual and business smart is where most men's wardrobes struggle most, and this is exactly the kind of shirt that fills it. The construction matters too. A flimsy hidden placket looks worse than a standard one. These are the shirts where the detail is done properly and the rest of the shirt is worth wearing.
