    • As an alternative to this, a plain sleeve (white) shirt works.

If you have a lighter skin tone go for a dark color but if you have a dark skin tone have some bright blazers with colors like yellow. [4]

    Wearing both together might not be everyone's idea of sartorial elegance, but go for it if you want! These typically brightly pattern garments give you a chance to wear something colorful, even floral, without it being feminine. Team a loose fit Hawaiian shirt with plain shorts or pants. Try Bermuda shorts with a tee-shirt or a light-weight sweat shirt.

    Try placing short sleeve over a long sleeve shirt. This pairing can flatten out your curves and chest without a binder and it looks stylish.

    When wearing a buttoned shirt or blazer, should I wear a women's version with buttons on the left or a man's with the buttons on the right - neither is gender neutral so I'm confused?
