Men’s Fitted Dress Shirts

Men’s Fitted Dress Shirts

No matter how minimalist, there should always be at least one high-quality man’s fitted dress shirt in every man's closet. Whether he needs it for the office, a romantic dinner date, or a formal function, a men’s fitted dress shirt will serve many purposes in many settings. Whether you are updating your closet or investing in a men’s tailored dress shirt for the first time, this is the handy guide you need to get you started.

The first step in finding a fitted dress shirt for men is to get fitted for one. Have your measurements taken in order to have a fitted shirt custom-designed to fit your torso in a flattering way. You could buy the most expensive, highest quality dress shirt in the world, but if it’s too tight or too loose, it will just look sloppy. Getting a tailored dress shirt is of utmost importance.

Men’s Tailored Dress Shirts

Once you know your measurements and find a professional tailor to work with, you can begin exploring different colors, fabrics, and styles you love. Men’s tailored fit dress shirts have endless variety when you factor in all those components. Cotton is a favorite for many reasons; it’s airy and breathable, making it a comfortable choice. It requires less maintenance than other fabrics, so it will be easy to wash and care for this kind of dress shirt. Broadcloth is another excellent fabric choice, especially for a more formal setting like a work dinner or an important office meeting. Broadcloth is lighter and smoother than other fabrics, making it easier to drape appropriately and provide a flattering fit. There are many other fabrics worth exploring, including poplin, twill, dobby, and jacquard, each with its own unique benefits.

Aside from fit and fabric, color is the next thing to think about. If you are investing in a pricier, more high-end tailored shirt, it should be something that is a versatile piece in your wardrobe. You want it to be something that will work well with many other pieces in your closet so that you get the most value from your investment. Light blue and white are arguably two of the most popular choices and the most timeless looking.

White shirts work beautifully with a black men’s suit or blue suit as well as more adventurous colors like burgundy or green. With light blue fitted dress shirts, you can wear them with men's khaki pants, gray men’s dress pants, and white and brown colors.
