How To Choose A Stylish Work Shirt

Posted: Oct 11, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

We often spend a lot of time selecting clothes for going out in, but we spend very little time selecting clothes for work. When you think about it, this is quite strange as we spend the majority of our time at work. Wouldn't it be nice if you could add style to your every day look? Well this article aims to do just that by helping you choose a stylish shirt for work.

First you must consider the sleeve length your shirt needs to be. Designer shirts generally come in three sleeve lengths – short sleeve, long sleeve and three quarter length. Initially you can make your decision based on the temperature. During the cooler winter months, long sleeve designer shirts offer the most warmth whilst during the summer months short sleeves seem to be the more obvious choice. For those days that are changeable, opt for the very in trend three quarter length sleeves. If you are reluctant to invest in three different types of shirts, you can ignore the three quarter length and create your own by simply rolling up your long sleeved shirt a little bit. Turn ups are currently in high fashion magazines, whether on trousers or shirts. This little trick will not only make you stylish but also save you money too.

Although the climate is the main factor when choosing a sleeve length for your designer shirt, you also need to consider how you will be wearing your shirt. Are you planning on wearing it under a jacket? In which case, opt for a short sleeve designer shirt as it will eliminate sleeve creases when you remove your jacket and there also isn't enough material to bunch up in the jacket sleeves. However if you are planning on wearing a jumper over the top of your designer shirt, opt for a long sleeve shirt as it will reduce the jumper fabric irritating your skin.

Next you need to consider whether a plain or a patterned shirt is required. First of all, you have to think about your profession and whether it's generally acceptable to wear a patterned shirt which will attract attention. Then you have to consider what you are wearing your designer shirt with. If teaming with a plain jumper, a patterned shirt can create a really sharp finished look, where as a patterned jumper is offset by a plain shirt. Generally plain suits look equally as good when teamed with plain or patterned shirts, whilst pin striped suits look better worn with plain shirts.

Finally, you need to consider colour. This not only means choosing between subtle shades or more vibrant colours, but also choosing the actual colour. Different colours have different meanings so the colour of your shirt can convey your personality. For example blue conveys calmness, tranquillity and stability whilst white conveys cleanliness, purity and humility. A green shirt symbolises good luck and health whilst a yellow shirt conveys joy and happiness. There are many designer brands on the market in the UK today who offer coloured shirts, among them are Firetrap shirts which include both vibrant shades as well as more subtle colours.
