Plaid shirts have been everywhere for the past few years, but there is a new batch out there amping up traditional patterns in a fresh way. Todd Snyder’s classic button-down offers a basic plaid, but renders it in an eye-catching white and navy with sky blue and red accents. It’s a seven-day-a-week shirt that would pop under a charcoal gray suit, or with a pair of cords and a cardigan to watch the big game.

Happy birthday, Sophia Loren!
Loren appeared on LIFE’s cover seven times through the 1950s and ’60s. “At that time,” she said, “when LIFE magazine came out every week, it was something very important for a career — the best thing that could happen to an actress. It was something unbelievable. Everybody talked about it — a story in LIFE magazine, with a cover.”
To celebrate her birthday, we present rare portraits by LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt that never made it to print. Enjoy.

“I’d become one of those mistakes you sometimes find in an office, a not unpleasant but mostly unproductive presence bobbing along on the energy tides of others, a walking reminder of somebody’s error in judgement.”
