Men Shirts

A well-chosen shirt is the foundation of any man's wardrobe. Whether you're going to work, a wedding, or just hanging out with friends, the right shirt can help you look and feel your best. Let’s explore different types of men’s shirts, how to wear them, and what shirts go best with suits and casual outfits.

Why Every Man Needs a Good Shirt

Every man should have a few good shirts. A shirt can make you look smart, confident, and well-dressed. You might need one for work, one for a wedding, or even just for everyday wear. Popular choices include wedding shirts for men, work shirts, and casual cotton shirts for warm days.

Popular Shirt Styles

Let’s take a quick look at the most common types of shirts for men.

Oxford Shirts

An Oxford shirt is a smart and strong shirt made from thick fabric. It's great for both casual and formal wear. Try a button-up Oxford shirt with jeans or trousers. Oxford shirt styles are very popular for business meetings too.

Dress Shirts

These are formal shirts often worn with suits. Choose a double cuff white shirt for weddings or work, a light blue or pink shirt for a soft, stylish look, or a blue striped white shirt for a classic business style. Want to look even smarter? Learn how to tuck in a shirt—you can try the loose tuck, half tuck, or jacket tuck.

Casual Shirts

Casual shirts are more relaxed and comfy. These include floral shirts for bold style, cotton t-shirts for breathable comfort, trendy check shirts, and warm options like cord shirts or men’s flannel shirts. A black oversized shirt is also perfect as a light jacket for layering.

How to Choose the Right Shirt for Every Occasion

Picking the right shirt depends on where you're going. For weddings, a double cuff white shirt or black silk shirt works best. Want a bold look? Try a burgundy or purple shirt. For office or business meetings, go with a light blue or pink shirt for a professional appearance.

What to Wear with Different Shirts

Shirts look great when styled with the right pants and jackets. A black suit with a black shirt gives you a sleek and modern look. Grey suits with black shirts create a stylish contrast. Denim shirts pair well with colored chinos or shorts for casual outings. On more relaxed days, go for a black or navy polo shirt. For formal evenings, a black suit and black shirt combo always works.

A shirt needs to fit well. Here’s how to get your size right:

• Neck: Wrap a tape measure around your neck, leaving a finger space.
• Chest: Measure around the widest part under your arms.
