Bogart Man Formal Shirts
Keep your shirt on this season because Bogart’s got your back.
Formal Shirts –When it comes down to men’s fashion, how much do you know about dressing up in men’s formal dress shirts? Sure, there are hundreds of options available, but what really matters are how you compile your formal ensemble. Picking the right shirt for your outfit can make or break the look you’re after.
So what’s the difference between regular shirts and formal dress shirts? Men’s dress shirts are considered as button-up shirts with a collar and long sleeves. Most importantly, the cut on these shirts are different from those of sport shirts. Where sport shirts are made to be worn open-necked, dress shirts are made for wearing ties and fits your body shape better with the tailored cuts.
Buying the perfect formal shirt goes far beyond the colour and cut of the shirt. By picking out shirts with collars that match your facial proportions already puts you one step ahead. In this blog post, we will be elaborating on formal shirts and their respective cuts. Read on further to discover the key to dressing up in formal shirts and unlock the doorway to looking your very best every day, like a Bogart Man does.
The difference lies in the details.
Every man has got a different physical profile therefore it’s nearly impossible to find a standard fit and cut that suits everyone. Lucky for you, you’re at the right place. Bogart Man is run by men for men. Because we spent the better half of two decades refining our style, we understand what men want and how to make them look exceptional.
Find your Fit
When selecting a formal shirt that you like, we suggest wearing a shirt that fits you correctly around the neck, chest and wrists. When you get it right you will enhance your appearance drastically. Although there are many fits and cuts let’s look at the four most typical choices available to men.
#1 The classic fit
The classic fit features wide shoulders, full sleeves and a relaxed cut. It is characterized by a traditional tailoring silhouette, allowing a comfortable fit with a boxier shape. Classic fits provide great flexibility and feature two folds on the back, usually located near the yoke of the shirt. These cuts are the go-to options for men who prefer comfort over fashion.
#2 The slim fit
Slim fit dress shirts are narrow in the shoulders with slender sleeves and of course, a tapered cut. This cut is considered more fashionable because it eliminates any access fabric, meaning you won’t look like a parachute with a tie. The beauty of slim fits are they allow for a shaped look that sits closer to the body without looking skin tight.
#3 The Modern fit
The modern fit is a combination between the classic fit and slim fit, providing the wearer with the best of both worlds. Modern fit shirts feature a slightly tapered silhouette which creates a trimmer look that looks good with or without a jacket and without having to sacrifice comfort. This type of shirt is typically worn by slimmer men however, it’s still the preferred choice for any fashionable gentleman.
#4 Skinny Fit
The skinny fit is a popular choice with younger men breaking out in the fashion game. It’s worn by men with a slimmer physique as it creates a comfortable fit for smaller physiques. They typically feature slimmer sleeves and a yoke that extends to your natural shoulder line. The tapered cut will accentuate your natural physique resulting in a well-worn look.
What shirt pockets say about you
Irrespective of whether you like pockets or not, they tell a story about your attire. Some men like them and others don’t. Historically speaking a shirt with a pocket has always been considered to be less formal than one without a pocket. Why? Because back then gentlemen primarily wore jackets so they would have had no use for shirt pockets. A general rule of thumb to keep in mind when it comes to pockets:
No pockets = Formal
1 Pocket = informal
2 Pockets = Very informal
