Shirts should be a staple in any well-dressed man’s wardrobe and we have whittled it down to just six quintessential types of shirt.
The flannel shirt
A firm fashion favourite, the flannel shirt is great for layering up as the weather gets chillier. Ideal for creating a stylish, yet laidback vibe, flannel shirts are a great choice for travelling in as they are both trendy and comfortable. Pair with sunglasses, fitted chinos and a stylish beanie for a rock star look.
The polo shirt
For a timeless style of shirt that lends its wearer a debonair and sporty air, the polo shirt is perfect. Influenced by the increase in working from home, many employers are transitioning to a more smart-casual dress code, and the polo shirt fits this growing need for presentable yet informal men’s clothing. Companies such as EJ Menswear offer polo shirts with both long and short sleeves, for polo shirt that you can enjoy year-round.
