A classic man’s shirt means crisp cotton, well-ironed with buttons down the front and a collar. The sort of shirt that you would wear with a good suit (which should be navy or charcoal in colour, in my opinion). The type of shirt that can be worn to a job interview in the morning, out to lunch at midday and a funeral in the afternoon and still look good.
It should be in a plain shade , to allow for a more colourful tie, and please, make the collar the same colour as the rest of the shirt, gentlemen!
A polo-collar shirt has got its place: it’s just not here. The polo is a weekend relaxation type of shirt, which doesn’t even necessarily need ironing. It can be worn with jeans, shorts or trousers and look fine with all three, whereas the classic shirt only really goes with the suit, doesn’t it?
