Men’s shirts are not only about fine fabrics and hand stitching, fits are also important. The way in which the shirt fits over the body, in which it adapts to the body’s shape and highlights the figure, is as important as the quality of the materials with which it is made.
There are different types of fit to choose from.
Let’s take a look at the main characteristics and differences between the evolution classic, slim and custom tailor.
This is the classic shirt model. It features a wider cut and is perfect for wearing under a jacket for formal and work occasions. The armhole of the evolution classic shirt is soft, fitting well on different builds, while this shirt is the one that offers the most agility in terms of movement. There are no seams or darts in the back and it is closely tied to a simple and essential look. This style of shirt works best with neutral shades, or with white and very pale colours. It can be worn with contrasting or tone-on-tone ties.
This is a casual type of men’s shirt, for wearing on a night out with friends or on other informal occasions. The style fits closely around the waist to emphasise shape; the armholes are tight and there are darts in the back. The slim shirt follows the shape of the body, becoming like a second skin, which is why it is best suited to wearers with a more slender, leaner physique.
This is a shirt that works well in stretch fabrics, looks good even worn outside a pair of jeans, and is usually made in patterned or striped materials, or even vintage fabrics.
Although this is a close-fitting garment, it leaves plenty of room for movement to guarantee maximum comfort and at the same time, maximum style.
This is a cross between the evolution classic and the slim fit, because it is tighter fitting than the former and has a more formal style than the latter. Its closer fit on the waist and hips makes it the perfect shirt for official events, as well as working well with a more casual outfit. It has darts in the back and a more calibrated armhole compared to the classic fit. The custom tailor shirt is at the height of its elegance when in classic shades or pinstripes, while in bolder colours, it can have a vintage feel that is perfectly accompanied by a pair of jeans.
Now you will find it easier to choose the perfect outfit for every occasion.
