There’s nothing more classic than The Blue Shirt-Yes. It’s the ultimate menswear hero! While it might not seem exciting, no one can deny that a blue shirt is the most dependable fashion item. It’s an interesting fact that in the 1800s, men wearing blue shirts were almost unacceptable or unimaginable. It was somewhere during the 1920s and 1980s where the blue shirt really took the centre stage in men’s closets. Since then there’s been no looking back!
Every man owns at least 5 basic blue shirts, kept in their wardrobe for every time they are in a fashion dilemma. Blue shirts are the easiest to style, paired with the right kind of pants they can be casual or formal, and above all, they truly are the comfort blanket for grown-up men.
We’re not here to steer your fashion choice away from the classic blue shirt. In all honesty, its essence is quite understated.
