Composition: Keep natural shoulders and a straight body, never tapered. Type and lettering: Leave the button-down collar unstarched so the roll stays. Let one material quality come from the second style: Mass produced cotton and synthetics in grey, navy and white. Mood: Trust, Intimacy, Nostalgia, Calm, Rebellion. Color: build on #eae6de, #6b655c, #1a1815 with a single accent drawn from #eae6de, #6b655c, #1a1815. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Ivy Style: Perfecting the correctness turns it into a uniform, and the ease that came from wearing it loosely disappears.
# - Normcore: Expensive plain garments turn blankness into a new distinction and put you back in the race, so read the source and treat this as a critique of differentiation, not a style name.
