7 Essential Shirts For Every Man's Wardrobe

Описание: 7 Essential Shirts For Every Man's Wardrobe

What's up guys today I'm giving you my top picks for seven of the most essential shirts for men! All of the shirts on this list are meant to give you plenty of creative flexibility when you're putting an outfit together.

#1 - The Dress Shirt

Every man needs a quality dress shirt he can wear when the occasion arises. There are loads of dress shirts out there for you to choose from however I recommend starting with the classics like white or light blue.

Those two colors will work on most occasions and almost all the outfits you put together. Outside of color, you'll also want to get your dress shirts tailored so they conform to the natural shape of your body better. A loos and baggy dress shirt like most other clothing items that don't fit you properly can make you look a bit chaotic.

#2 - The Oxford Button - Down Shirt

Oxford's mimic dress shirts in some ways however they're more casual and more breathable. They're also referred to as "button-downs" because of the buttons on the collar of the shirt. Also, even though I said more casual you do have the option to dress an oxford shirt up to a certain extent. Something like dark blue jeans with a leather belt and leather shoes all tied together with a tucked in Oxford button-down shirt is closer to the upper end of the casual scale.

#3 - Solid Color T-Shirt

A solid color t-shirt gives you lots of styling options with different outfits. The three foundational colors are white, grey, and black and my personal recommendation is to start with grey before anything else. I say grey because grey hides signs of daily wear very well while contrasting most items on an outfit in a more relaxed way than black and white.

#4 - Denim Shirt

As I said in the video I struggled when deciding between chambray and denim for the essentials list. However, I did finally settle on denim because of how much I appreciate the weight and texture of a true denim shirt.

I would also encourage you to experiment with rocking denim from top to bottom. That used to be a classic style mistake, however, now it's become a very acceptable style choice. I just don't see too many men rocking that type of look and I'm not 100% sure why. It's something that all men can pull off with the right combination of color and material!

#5 - Flannel Shirt

First things first let's clarify a very common men's fashion misunderstanding. Flannel is referring to the fabric of the shirt and plaid is referring to the pattern. These shirts are very comfortable very warm usually very vibrant additions to every mans wardrobe.

#6 - Casual Short Sleeve Shirt

This was a style of shirt that historically you didn't see that often. Short sleeve shirts like this were generally reserved for uniforms in specific lines of work so understandable most men wouldn't wear something work-related in a casual setting. However, today most larger brands have adopted the classic short sleeve shirt into what they offer and I'm very happy they have.

These shirts are excellent for the spring and summer they're usually very lightweight and breathable and they're also very fun! They come in a HUGE range of pattern and color and most of the simple designs (like the shirt I showed you in the video) lend themselves well to most outfits.

#7 - Polo Shirt

So.....I admit that every man should have a polo shirt in his wardrobe. I just want people to know there's a reason I put it last on my list. I don't find them to be as flexable as everything else on this list. I also have an issue with the collars curling after a few washes. I think these shirts are perfect for a more casual office environement and they're less of a hassel than a dress shirt but I still think the other shirts on this list will give you more flexability than the men's polo shirt.
