Different Components of Formal Shirt Which Has Been Taken

Into Consideration:
F I T:
TheClassic Fit

The classic fit is likely what your father and grandfat

her wore. It is characterized by a traditional
tailoring silhouette, allowing a comfortable fit with a
boxier shape, with plenty of fabric in the sleeves and
the body. It provides great mobility and features t wo
pleats on the back, usually located near the yoke.
This is the go-to choice for those with a more classic
style who favor comfort over fashion.

Slim Fit

Throughout history, young men have often tried to

differentiate their look from their parent's generation.
At the same time, it has become socially acceptable to
wear a dress shirt without a jacket, and therefore the
look and fit of the shirt itself has become more
important. While a slim fit shirt is less comfortable
and often more constricting in your movement, it is a
lot more fashionable because it eliminates excess fabr
ic. A slim fit shirt typically has an accentuated back
with darts and a high armhole stance allowing for a
shaped look that sits closer to t he body, without
being skin tigh t .

Mode r n Fit

The modern fit falls in between the classic and the slim
fit, providing t he best of both worlds when it comes to
comfort and style. A slightly tapered silhouette with the
waist sometimes in combination with small back darts
create a tr immer look than the classic fit that looks good
even without a jacket without sacrificing comfort. The
armholes are high,the sleeves have some room but are
not too wide, and the yoke extends to or just past
theshoulder bone.

Super Slim/Skinny Fit

This super slim or skinny fit is mostly popular with young

men who think that tighter is better. In practice, this fit
is usually characterized by lots of wrinkles, and unless
you have a very skinny body that justifies it, you should
avoid it altogether. Skintight shirts are not a flattering
alternative for anyone, and they restrict your range of
movement considerably. If you are interested in classic
men' s style, stay clear of this fit.

Shirt Style Details Explained

COL LAR OPTIONS:

A spread collar is by far the most popular contemporary model and a go-to choice for
both casual and classic shirts. The beauty of it relies in the versatility, working perfectly
with or without a tie, though when you do wear a tie it's crucial to pick the right size
knot to fit the wider gap.

A button-down collar is an American, casual-cool classic shirt.

A classic collar is the timeless pointed collar that is "just right." It avoids all extremes in
that it is neither too large, nor too small, nor is it too spread or too narrow. It offers the
ideal tie gap for small- to mid-size tie knots, and it is a timeless and necessary part of
every classic wardrobe.

A mandarin collar, standing collar, band collar or choker collar is a short unfolded stand­
up collar style on a shirt.The style derives its Western name from the mandarin
bureaucrats in Qing-era China that employed it as part of their uniform.

Shirt Cuff Styles:

FRENCH CUFFS

Traditionally, French cuffs are dressier and more formal, allowing men to sport one of the
quintessential pieces of jewelry in men's style: cufflinks. Because this accessory makes a
personal statement and expresses the wearer's style,French cuffs have become quite
popular in recent years, and they are not just reserved for formal shirts.

Barrel Cuffs

Barrel cuffs, onthe other hand,arethe everyday choice for most men and the
mostcommonly found alternative. With a variety of shapes and designs, ranging from
faceted, rounded, straight, etc. up to the number of buttons, barrel cuffs provide a wide
range of choices to the wearer, with a much more practical approach than their French
counterparts.
