button down
Conservative shirt style
Button down describes a collar style where the points fasten to the shirt with small buttons, preventing the collar from flapping: a button-down oxford shirt.
The style is associated with preppy American fashion.
As a verb phrase, to button down means to secure or finalize: Let's button down the details before the meeting.
Buttoned-down suggests conservative or conventional: a buttoned-down corporate culture.
