A man’s wardrobe requires shirts for many different occasions and varying degrees of formality. A shirt is a versatile accessory that can add elegance and class to a suit, a sport coat, a formal ensemble or be dressed down to compliment a more casual outfit.
Getting the perfect fit
To look your best for any occasion, there are several factors to take into account when choosing the finest men’s dress shirts:
Shirt collars
When buttoned, the collar should never be too tight or too loose. A good guide would be if you can fit a finger or two between your collar and skin. Try to find the ideal collar style for your facial structure and neck height.
Armholes
They should be positioned between the end of your shoulder curve and the start of your arm.
Sleeves
Length is a personal preference but the norm is for the sleeve to hang straight down without too much allowance at the cuff.
Cuffs
The cuffs should cover your wrist joint and rest at the start of the thumb.
