Whether for the office or for leisure, these five shirts should be part of every man's wardrobe.
You can never go wrong with a simple, high-quality white cotton shirt. A basic masculine piece, it's ideal for both dressy occasions and more casual events. Just bear in mind that the collar often plays a decisive role. An elegant Italian collar is best suited to dressy occasions, while a button-down collar brings a more casual spirit. If you're looking for a versatile collar, opt for the Windsor. The spread points offer enough room for a tie, but it also looks modern without a tie, leaving the first button open.
A light blue shirt is almost more versatile than white. It's the essential office shirt par excellence. Light blue blends well with all shades and sets off distinctive ties beautifully. If you want to prioritize comfort or face a busy day, opt for an Oxford fabric offering optimal breathability and virtually wrinkle-free quality.
Add sleek detail to any outfit with a blue and white striped shirt. A fine striped shirt goes perfectly with a solid-colored tie and a gray suit. It's also perfect under a sweater.
While a plaid shirt is unlikely to be ideal for dressy business events, it can really look good at work, in more casual environments. It bridges the gap between office and casual wear. If you're wearing the shirt with a suit, choose fairly discreet checks and, for a more casual look, forget the tie.
A denim shirt is ideal for the weekend, perfect for a casual evening out. Just like jeans, a denim shirt shouldn't be too washed-out to stay in the spirit of elegance.
