The entire look of a man largely depends on the correct choice of shirt. She will either emphasize your impeccable style, or ruin the whole impression of even the most expensive exclusive suit. When buying a men's shirt, you need to pay attention to some little things - they will say a lot about the quality of the model.
It is necessary
- Fitting shirt
- Blazer
- Tie
Instructions
Step 1
Put on your shirt. In the wrapped state, its shelves should converge in the crotch area. Extend your arm: the sleeve of a properly fitted shirt should cover your wrist to the start of your thumb. Lower your arm and bend the hand, then the forearm: the hand should not open. The cuff wraps around the arm well without dangling on it! But it should not be too narrow - enough to cover the wristwatch.
Step 2
Choose a shirt to match your favorite jacket so that there are no unpleasant surprises at home. If you have short arms, the cuffs should protrude from under the sleeve of the jacket by at least 1-2 cm. If they are too long, you can release the cuffs by 5 centimeters. This visually shortens the limb. According to some stylists, it is permissible to open the cuffs of expensive models of well-known shirtmakers (manufacturers of men's shirts) by 10 centimeters. The corners of the shirt collar should be hidden under the lapels of the jacket.
Step 3
Check out the new shirt and tie combination. To do this, tighten the knot and examine the collar. It should fit snugly on the chest, the ends of the collar should never protrude. The collar of a quality shirt keeps its neat shape even when turning the neck and without a tie, with an unbuttoned top button. It is good if the collar has a special (flexible or cheaper bone) insert. Some models are distinguished by the puffy ends of the collar - while their shape remains after repeated washes.
Step 4
Consider the seams - this is an important detail that differentiates high-quality, high-end screen makers from mass-market shirts. Good seams are made with one needle (linen seams). They are very soft and durable, and the material between the double seams will not bunch together after washing. The seams are simpler - "chain" - made by the machine with two needles. They often bloom and are rougher than linen. The seams on a high quality shirt have more than seven stitches on every centimeter of the seam!
Step 5
Pay attention to some other important details. Expensive high quality shirt:
• has a gusset wedge with a screen maker's logo between the back and the shelf. This makes the product more resistant to wear and tear.
• Buttons on it are sewn with a cross very tightly with 100% cotton threads.
• The upper collar loop is slightly angled for comfort.
• One of the hallmarks of a good brand shirt is the mother of pearl buttons.
• There is an additional button on the sleeve bar so that the sleeve does not expose the forearm.
Step 6
Choose the right product material. Cotton products (especially long staple) are extremely prestigious. However, some cotton shirts wrinkle quickly. For permanent wear, it is more convenient if the fabric contains about 2-5% synthetics. A good men's shirt has a dense but smooth surface.
Step 7
Find the perfect color combination if you are going to wear a shirt with a suit and tie. It is also important where you are going to put on your new shirt.
• Gray suit: blue, blue or white shirt.
• Black suit: light blue, white or gray.
• Formal meeting: one light-colored shirt, preferably white.
• Corporate style: no bright rainbow colors, as well as too "mourning".
• For every day: a small strip or check is possible, but only without the same striped-check tie!
