Men's classic fashion shirts are allowed in some cases to be worn with jeans, but only in combination with sweaters or jumpers. In this set, the shirt actually loses its officiality and makes it possible to dress like that for an informal atmosphere.
How to choose the right shirt size?
Few know what shirts should look like. That is why their size is not easy to choose.
Classic shirts for men (photo) in no case should not sit tight. This is especially true for areas of the body in the chest and abdomen, where they should look free.
As for the size of the collar, the shirt is considered to be correctly selected when one or two fingers pass between it and the neck when the collar is fastened.
Since the “classic” is always tucked into trousers, its length should not be large or small. It is checked this way - during the fitting, the shirt is fastened with all the buttons and tucked into trousers, after which the hands are raised up. If its bottom edge does not pop out over the trousers, then the shirt is selected correctly.
Real men know that a classic shirt like a magnet attracts the admiring glances of women, and its owner always feels elegant and confident.
