An age-softened Oxford cloth button-down with a tucking tail worn untucked with half-rolled sleeves is about as classic casual Camelot as you will ever see. It has three big caveats, the rest of the outfit has to be spot on, you have to be trim, and while I am reluctant to put a specific sale-by date on it every man has an age that it no longer looks appropriate. The Oxford should never be pinpoint but rather full-sized, it should never be broadcloth or twill, and obviously never pressed when worn untucked.
