Very often, wearing a button down shirt adds a sense of seriousness to your outfit. This is good if you are trying to look professional and wear it as part of your work outfit. In fact, if you want something a little more refreshing, I would assume that you can wear a pretty shirt instead of a plain shirt. The polka dot shirt is generally very versatile and can be worn either as part of a casual outfit or a work outfit. For this blog post I have rounded up some of the best polka dot shirt outfit ideas. You will be amazed at how good they look and how easy it is to pull them off.
