BURGUNDY SHIRT GIVEAWAY AND BLOG
Having at least 2 long sleeved casual shirts should give your ware drobe some diversity. if combined with our other essentials. One denim or plaid shirt can work as an over shirt or on its own, while a cotton Oxford can double up for formal wear.
Fabric
Polyester or polyester blends tend to last longer than cotton, although cotton shirts are typically softer on the skin. A thinner shirt doesn’t necessarily ‘breathe’ better than a thicker one – this is dictated by the tightness of the fabric weave, which can be compared by literally breathing through the fabrics. An example of a tight-weave is a typical dress shirt.
Fit
Most casual shirts don’t require in-store measurements, so they’re an easy one to select with The Idle Man. Unlike with a dress shirt, a loose fit is often desirable – say an inch extra than your dress shirt, especially if it is going to be worn in hot conditions. However, you should at least know your chest-size – if you know it, then you’ll avoid picking up a shirt that is too long, either covering the crotch area or descending below the buttock line.
