Men's Shirts
Cuffs, Collars And Creases – All About Men's Shirts!
Striped, dotted, patterned or just plain, men's shirts come in a wide and staggering range of styles; varied enough to put the best of minds into a tizzy. From formals to casuals and semi-official ones, shirts are the universal official look for men, joined by all the battery of blazers, suits and the like.
Making of a shirt
So, have you ever really wondered what is it that makes for that real look of a shirt? Well, it surely goes much beyond that basic choice of colors and hues. To look at it, it is an eclectic mix of the fabric, collar, cuff, fit, pleat style and pocket, to name the essential basics. It is the individual style of each of these that determine the end look of the shirt, how formal is it intended to be and what occasion it best fits.
Know the occasion
Well, as it is with all aspects of fashion and style, knowing what looks best on which occasion is the key to that ultimate look. To begin with, striped or chequered shirts are almost a universal unwritten rule as the dress code for your workplace. Worn with narrow and fitting trousers, they give you an added advantage of that stiff formal look, very much desirable in a work atmosphere. For a more formal look, try going in for a French cuff that adds that extra bit of charm to your shirt. Needless to say, you need to refrain from wearing a tie if you are supporting a double collar.
Similarly, an embroidered shirt needs to have very basic detailing on the fabric, mostly preferred by the ace designers to be either on the back or only on one of the shoulders.
Adding on, it will also be equally disastrous if you happen to have that wrong sense of colors and hues for your outfits. The color of your shirt needs to echo your sense of style and understanding of the occasion you are wearing it to.
The white rage
The seasonal fashion lines might come and go, but the passionate favouritism enjoyed by the evergreen crisp white shirt still reigns. With all those exotic and even bizarre fashion variations available, there is still no substitute for a crisp, cleaned and ironed white shirt that will go just perfectly with any color or combinations. Who can forget that classic look it gives with a pair of basic royal blue denim jeans, further topped with some smart footwear.
To watch out for!
In all the flurry of fashion releases and an incessant stream of exotic wear in the market, there is definitely bound to be a single style or two that stands out in its sheer class and look.
Just take a look at the stunning contrast collar Ralph Lauren Purple Label with fine and luxurious Italian broadcloth to the expertly tailored front placket, right up to its perfectly proportioned collar, indeed an ideal entry for your wardrobe if you are looking for just that right gear to make a classic statement of your own at the workplace.
