Many men believe that a shirt is not a thing to be worn every day, unless the dress code is mandatory. But a shirt can be a great alternative to a T-shirt, images with a shirt look collected, even if the shirt sleeves are tucked up.

Top button

If you are not going to wear a tie, do not button the top button of your shirt. Do not be afraid to undo the second button as well, this will make the image more relaxed. It is better to wear a T-shirt with a V-neck under the shirt unbuttoned by two buttons.

Correct collar

If you are going to wear a tie, choose a shirt with a narrow collar, for such shirts the angle between the two edges of the collar is 35 degrees. If you won't be wearing a shirt with a tie, choose a shirt with a wide collar. They have an angle of 45 - 55 degrees. If you want to wear a tie under a shirt with a wide collar, then the tie should have a wide knot.

Skin color

It is good if the tone of the shirt matches the color of your skin and hair. If you have warm skin and hair color, choose shirts in warm shades, and if you have cold skin, cool shirt colors will look good on your face. It is also important to pay attention to contrast, with a contrasting appearance, bright pure colors are suitable. Don't be afraid to choose bright colors if you are sure that the color you like and will suit. Do not neglect striped shirts, they will visually make your figure slimmer.

Contrast

It is important to create contrast in the look with a shirt. A white shirt will look good with a black suit.

Best shirt colors:

• White
  
• Light blue
  
• Light pink
  
• Navy blue
  
• Burgundy
  

Accuracy

A shirt with ironed cuffs, collar, placket will look good. The collar should not just be ironed, it is desirable that it has spacers that allow the corners to keep their shape.

Cuffs

The cuffs should not be too narrow, but not too wide so that you can safely take off your shirt without unbuttoning the cuffs. If you wear a watch, the cuffs should not get in the way of the watch.

How to tuck the sleeves of a shirt?

You need to be able to roll up your shirt sleeves correctly. Because it is the forearm that many women consider the sexual part of the male figure.

• Athenian turn-up - two simple turn-ups to the forearm. Looks like such a turnaround is simple and unconstrained.
  
• The basic turn-up is a triple turn-up of the shirt sleeve, the sleeve is located directly under the elbow.
  
• The high way is a fold in 4 times. Suitable for those with pumped arms or tattoos.
  
• The masterful way - of all, has the tidiest look. The cuff rises to the desired height, the remaining fabric must be rolled up again. This sleeve will not part during the day. Suitable for shirts with a contrasting cuff because slight contrast will be visible.
  
• The garter or strap method, using an elastic band for money or a real garter for a shirt, is usually used by musicians. The garter is worn over the forearm and the fabric of the shirt is pulled up to cover the garter. The elastic holds the fabric, the sleeve does not fall. With this method, the cuffs do not interfere with the work.
  

Correct length

Learn to tuck your shirt properly. Suit shirts you always need to refuel. A tucked-in shirt will always look smart. Straight-cut shirts are usually worn out. If you put your hands up and you can see your body from under the shirt, this shirt is short.

Size matters

The shirt must have the correct size, not only on the shoulders, but also on the collar. Two fingers should go between the shirt and the body.To check the correct length of the sleeves, you need to extend your arms, the cuffs should not reveal the bone on the wrist, but they should not cover the palm. The length of the shirt is 5-10 centimeters below the waist, the torso should be 5 centimeters free on each side.



The shirt should fit in size. If the shirt is tight, sweat spots will immediately appear on the armpits. A large shirt looks bad too. A long-sleeved shirt made of cotton or linen can work as a business and casual item.

Perfect shirts for summer

You can choose a white T-shirt, polo shirt or henley as a basic item for your summer wardrobe. But the best option would be a long sleeve woven shirt. It is in a shirt that you can look gorgeous in the summer.

Textile

Pay attention to the fabric of the shirt. The best material for a shirt is Egyptian cotton or luxury long weave. Such a shirt is pleasant to the body. Linen is also suitable, it is strong, durable, inexpensive, breathes well. But flax wrinkles a lot. Modern synthetic fabrics are also good if they are of good quality. Synthetics have proven themselves negatively, because cheap shirts are sewn from it. But today, synthetic materials are of high quality, especially with the addition of natural fibers.

Types of weaving fabrics for shirts:

The strength of the material and the ability of air to pass through the fabric depend on weaving.

• Linen.
  
• Twill (with a diagonal pattern), less wrinkling.
  
• Poplin is stronger than plain weaving.
  
• Searsaker. Allows air to circulate well. The skin in such a shirt breathes.
