Whether you're a 60-something banker with a
closet full of business suits, or a
20-something newcomer with a closet full of
low-rise jeans, there is always fresh
perspective when it comes to your dress shirt
wardrobe. The luxury shirt mills,
particularly from Italy, are showing three
trends with wide appeal: mini-checks, stripes
on dark grounds and fancy weaves done in
plain colors.
New fabrics are the first choice in the fresh
fashion sense, followed up by changes in both
colors and silhouette. Your choice of fabrics
may include beefier, heartier weights,
feather light or somewhere in between. Your
selection of custom shirts makes any choice
possible.
Perhaps you like bold plays of color or more
subtle monochromatic tone-on-tone effects in
your shirt choices. Your preference may fall
on silky shirts with a bit of sheen, or to
basket weaves and herringbones with
noteworthy surface interests. These fancy
weaves are self-patterning weaves with
special effects formed by twisting the yarns
during weaving. Look for satin stripes with
elegant tone-on-tone effects.
The silhouette is reflected in the slight
changes in collar and cut that give a
brand-new look to a basic dress shirt. We've
watched the dress and casual shirt pendulum
swing from fitted to full and now begins to
swing back with trimmer fitting shirts. The
custom tailored shirt is the very best way
for a gentleman to experience the maximum of
comfort and individual style in just the
right fit.
