"Hello, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip I'm going to talk about how to buy a man's dress shirt. When we buy a man's dress shirt it means that you have to look very, very sharp and usually a dress shirt is going to go with a man's suit, of course. So when you are going to pick one you need to make sure that it either has the button right here so you can close it up and you can go ahead and use a nice tie with the shirt, and another important thing that you need to look for is the stitches. When you see it right here in front, there should be no stitches in between the buttons of the shirt right here. Another important thing, too, is that it needs to have a double kind of cuff because you need to use either cuff links or you need to have a button on the inside so it can be used like this when it goes with a suit because that is what a dress shirt should look like. It also needs to have at least one button up here up the cuff links, just one, not either like none or like two or three, it needs to have just one. And then once again just make sure that it has the right stitches and that is has no double folds in the back. Once again this is Gabriela Garzon with G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting."
