Is there a time of year when it’s inappropriate to wear a shirt? Wear it as a layer in winter, as a stand-alone piece in spring and autumn, and as a jacket in summer. A common basic shirt that can be easily worn out on the street.
But I buy shirts every year. How can I buy a perfect shirt that suits me?
General standards for choosing shirts It’s nothing more than: consider the budget level, the occasion of use or the style you like. But in fact, another idea when choosing shirts is to distinguish them based on seasonality. Choosing according to the different physical requirements of the four seasons of the year can avoid mistakes to a certain extent.
Last time we talked about how wearing a shirt is different from others, so we shared it There are two major factors that affect the style of a shirt – collar shape and cuffs.
French cuffs& one-word Neckline
So today’s shirt In our selection guide, we mainly focus on the other two elements that determine the “occasion and season of shirt wearing”.
1. Fabric
Almost all fibers or fabrics woven from chemical fibers can be used to make shirts, but tradition and history have given this important task to three of them: cotton, linen and silk.
The look and feel of shirts made of different materials Unlike the touch, the temperament behind the upper body is also completely different.
Linen
cotton
Silk
1｜Cotton·Daily Casual
Cotton is the first choice for close-fitting clothing and an ideal fabric for shirts, which can be worn all year round. Cotton can be divided into many types according to different weaving methods. However, the most commonly used ones are poplin and Oxford.
▶ poplin
Poplin is the most common shirt fabric. It has a smooth and flat surface and looks full of style.
The advantage of poplin is that it is elegant. The solid color poplin shirt does not have any sense of decoration. It is quite safe to wear in formal occasions and cannot go wrong. Therefore, it is also the representative of formal shirt.
But because there is no fabric texture and it is relatively thin, it is easy to wear a white shirt dew point.
▶ Oxford spinning
Oxford fabric is the most common casual shirt fabric, comfortable and breathable.mage?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&x-expires=1671604644&x-signature=ymh%2FXLXRuxRarTNWDaQKlTgSrpA%3D” class=”syl-page-img” style=”height: auto;”/>
There are also hair strips with a width of ≦1mm, which look solid when viewed from a distance, and stripes can only be seen when viewed up close.
The width of pencil strips is 1-2mm, and the spacing is wider than that of hair strips. It is named because it is about the same width as the traces drawn by pencil.
Banker stripes are also wider than hairline strips, and there are more shirts with different-color collars See, inherited from the original bank uniform, it is a good choice for the office.
There is also a multi-color stripe, a bit like our daily The contact barcode is asymmetrical and not uniform in size.
The only disadvantage of this striped shirt is that the “fine” stripes cause The shirt has an obvious sense of division. Compared with those with stronger body types, it is more suitable for leaner figures, and the pattern itself also needs to be chosen loosely. It is better if it is not close to the body.
In selection On the top, it is recommended to choose two colors of stripes, which are simple and easy to control. It is best to have no more than three colors. Too many colors will make it look complicated and difficult to match.
