The back-to-school season is often synonymous with renewal, making it the ideal opportunity to rethink your wardrobe. Among the essential pieces, the shirt holds a central place. Whether you are preparing for a day at work, a special event, or simply taking care over your appearance every day, it is crucial to know how to choose the perfect shirt.
Style and elegance for every occasion
To look impeccable in every situation, it is important to choose your shirt according to the occasion. There are two main types of shirts: formal shirts and casual shirts. Formal shirts are ideal for the office or elegant events such as weddings. Casual shirts, on the other hand, are more relaxed and perfectly suited to informal styles during the week or at the weekend.
But how do you know which one to choose? Here are a few tips for finding the shirt that will see you through the back-to-school season.
Different occasions and the right shirts
- At the office: A dress shirt is called for. Opt for a slim fit for an elegant, structured look. A point collar or a Semi-cutaway collar is perfectly suited to this setting, adding a touch of sophistication without overdoing it. In terms of fabrics, poplin is an excellent choice for its fineness and smooth appearance.
- For a wedding: The English collar, with its elongated points and buttoned tabs, is particularly suited to this type of occasion. Pair it with white two-ply poplin for a classic, timeless look. The slim fit will flatter the silhouette while ensuring a refined appearance.
- Everyday life: For a casual look, opt for shirts in chambray, linen or denim. These fabrics are both comfortable and stylish, perfect for a relaxed outfit. The band collar, simple and without a collar stand, is an excellent option for a minimalist, modern style. A looser or more fitted cut, depending on your preferences, will ensure optimum comfort.
Choosing the ideal fabric for your shirt
The fabric of your shirt is a criterion not to be overlooked. It influences not only comfort, but also the visual appearance of your outfit, making it more or less formal or casual. Here is a brief overview of the different fabrics you will find in our shirts:
- Poplin poplin: Fine and smooth, it is perfect for formal shirts.
- Chambray chambray: A lightweight, textured fabric, ideal for a casual look.
