Men's Dress Shirt Guide - Buying the Perfect Shirt
Posted: Monday, February 18, 2008

What types of shirts should every man own?


Thomas Pink`s Michael Bragg says, “A white shirt, a pale blue, a Bengal stripe, and something with texture, like herringbone.” Shirts with bold colors and patterns are too recognizable to be worn on a consistent basis, so splurge on the basics.

 


Is a pocket indicative of a cheap shirt?


No – and don`t let anyone tell you otherwise. “The pocket is an American original designed with utilitarian purpose,” says Bragg. You might not see a pocket on European designs, but if you like a pocket on your shirt, then by all means, get a pocket on your shirt.”

 


How can a man look better in his shirt regardless of what it costs?


Dress for the occasion and launder with care. Collars which need a tie to stand up shouldn`t be worn without one; for a more casual look choose a button-down version. Details like French cuffs are only for formal environments and must be worn with cufflinks – only your girlfriend is allowed to break that rule. When you launder a dress shirt, have it dry cleaned or washed in cold water. Dry it on low heat and never use bleach or starch– both can destroy the cloth`s fibers.
