I bought my first real dress shirt in 1987. It was shortly after I graduated from university and I was in need of a suit for my first real job interview. I still remember the store I went to with my girlfriend at the time. She picked out a light blue dress shirt to go with the navy blue pinstriped suit I picked out from the same store. Both were off the rack. There were not many mens dress shirts to choose from at the time and the design was simple and plain. This clothes made me look like just like all the other guys at the interview. Nothing stood out on me at all. 
Boy, have times changed since then. Now a days, you don't even have to leave your house to buy your dress shirts. For those who do not know, ShirtsMyWay is an online store that allows you to buy custom dress shirtsfrom the comfort of your own home. The only things you need are an internet connection, laptop, and a credit card and you can access over 7 trillion shirt designs on one websites. Just log on to www.shirtsmyway.com and you will be able to start designing your very own men's shirts. You will be able to compose your own tailored shirts to the extent that you can put any piece of fabric on almost any part of your shirt. You have the option to design classic dress shirts or eclectic fusions. You can combine a variety of colors such as white, black, blue, brown, or pink to create vibrant dress shirts that might even become "fashion shirts". You can quickly customize the collar, cuffs, buttons, buttonholes, monogram, and many more details.
Had I had this option back in 1987 I’m sure I would have gotten that job. At least I can pass my experiences on to you. What did I learn from my first experience? Always aspire to be original and you will stand out from the crowd.
