Shirts is the most claimed item of the men’s wear though the
choice of the right and appropriate shirt is not easy for a man, letting alone
women. You’d better bear some hints on how to choose the right shirt in mind,
the way it fits you or not and how to choose the shirts to suit the complexion
and the entire image. Quality is the utmost factor in the shirt-seeking
business.
The best fabric to
choose for shirts includes cotton, while the silk shirts are better to wear for
more solemn functions rather than for everyday use. Shirts made from
synthetic fabric look ugly and fit badly, the artificial fabric feels
unpleasant when it is too cold or too hot; it does not absorb the moisture, and
hence, this textile is not of high demand.
Synthetics as the textile may be use to manufacture the
quality shirts. Though it is in miserable amount that it is not felt, and
besides, it makes the shirt far more durable.
The experts
believe that the textile for shirts should be dense and pleasant to touch.
If you seek
for a shirt made from 100% cotton you’d better know that you will look perfect
wearing such shirts though they easily get crimped.
You are
welcome to choose the color for your shirt. The only factor to remember is that
the shirt should match the color of your suit and that of the tie. Shirts you
want to wear for business meetings and office activity come of lighter shade
while you will want to have black, white or any other bright color for any
other days.
Dark and
vivid color shirts are not good to wear in the office. If so, you risk impressing
the surroundings you are mourning all the time.
The office
shirt may be made in small prints, in fine stripes, tiny squares or any other
prints that make your shirt a little bit vivid but not vulgar. Remember,
though, that the print or patterns on your shirt should not appear on your suit
neither tie nor the other garments. It appears to be difficult to match different
patterns in one ensemble, and thus you’d better avoid being risky with that.
And make sure that the pattern is elegant and not arrogant to be seen easily
since it is not the detail to be stared at or admired. This is merely the
complement to the business or social dress, and that’s all.
Pay
attention to the collar. Today fashion trends welcome every kind of collar to
be in vogue and the only thing you have to know and do is that a bow-tie does
not suit the tie collar and vise versa. Therefore, you need to be attentive
when choosing shirts, first of all.
The shirt
buttons should be well-done and well-polished if made from pearl. If you are in
your office shirt, the upper button should be done. Thus, you’d better try a
shirt on with all buttons done. If you feel comfortable, this is the shirt that
suits you.
The cuffs may
be buttoned or fastened with cuff link. The cuffs should be a little bit seen
from behind the suit sleeve, this is the classic to observe for businessmen. In
case if you have shirt that are to be worn with cuff links only, then you’d
rather prefer for small and not that flamboyant cuff links. If you feel like
wearing golden cuff links, do it, though jewelry and precious stones do not
look appropriate for everyday use.
The perfect
shirt is believed to be tailored without any pockets. Shirts for business purposes
and social events do not have pockets while other shirts are made as the
designers feel suitable.
If there is
a pocket, it is good to be on the chest line and of smaller size. It is of
little functionality and thus, it is not the place to store keys, pens or
money.
When
choosing shirts, pay attention at sutures. Double suture is the sigh of
quality. Today many shirts are hand-made tailored and made and there is the
opportunity to fit the shirts manually. And this kind of shirts look perfect to
wear in the office, for solemn events and you are sure you look ideal. When
shopping you see that the seams are not good and the threads are seen from the
sutures, you’d better decide against buying this shirt since when you bend or
sit, it may easily get spoilt and lose the look.
You know
your size and you go shopping for a good shirt and when you have the right size
shirt, you find out that it does not fir you in the collar and you wonder how
come? You have to know the size of the collar or the chest size to have your
shirt sit ideally on you.
The street
shops or underground counters are not the places to purchase quality shirts.
The average quality shirts cost around $20-60 USD. And these are the shirts
manufactured at factories. Hand-made shirts are far more expensive and this is
reasonable since it is the elite work. The shirts you get for lower price may
appear to be of less quality and made from synthetic fabric and you risk to
have them faded, shrunk and they are not durable at all.
And you
taste and style is also the significant factor to consider when looking for a
good shirt. Get a shirt that you like most of all and you will look confident
and perfect.
