DESCRIPTION
If you’re unsure about which type of shirt you should be wearing for which situation, don’t worry! We’ve compiled a helpful guide to keep you looking dapper and appropriate at all times. Smart-casual The collar: To keep your look relaxed try a semi-spread or a button down. A semi-spread collar looks great without a tie, you can even leave the top buttons undone to add a more casual feel. A button down looks semi-smart even without a tie but can be relaxed further by undoing top buttons or wearing over a long sleeved t-shirt. The cuff: A single cuff is what you will usually find on the above styles. It’s simple, clean and requires no cufflinks thanks to its built in buttons. Perfect for casual or semi-formal occasions! Business The collar: A forward point collar is a traditional business favourite – it also looks great with a four-in-hand knot thanks to its width. A spread or wide-spread collar is also a good choice, especially for bulkier tie knots. The cuff: A single cuff will provide a good level of formality for business settings. Another option is the barrel cuff which can feature 2 buttons and look slightly more professional than a single. Formal The collar: If you are donning a bow tie for formal festivities, try a Wing collar. Considered the smartest of all shirt styles, it features a stand up collar with downward points. The cuff: A French or double cuff is the traditional choice for a dress shirt. The cuff is folded back and fastened with cufflinks instead of buttons (a great way in which you can add a little personality to very formal attire).
