The most popular, interesting and trendy men's shirt style names
Ever leave the department store with a migrane from trying to figure out
which style of dress shirt you need? In the past few years the growing
lingo of shirt style names has become a language unto itself. As men's
fashion advances, so does the terminology required to keep up with the
times. We've put together a primer of the most popular, interesting and
trendy men's shirt style names so that you know what you're getting
before you bring it home and try it on - yes, we hate the fitting room
too. Take notes, there will be a quiz later, and it's called 'looking
sharp'.
Classic Fit or Standard Fit - Classic Fit dress shirts are the eager
beavers of the buttondown world. These loose fit shirts attempt to
accommodate all body types, and in doing so are shaped for the 'largest
common denominator'. They are generally roomier in the sides, sleeves
and waist than other shirts. Because of the additional fabric, they may
hold up better against wrinkles underneath a suit where your generously
proportioned shirt can stay mostly out of sight. Additionally, for those
with extra cushion around the middle, classic fit may provide added
comfort. Remember, the word classic here is a bit of a misnomer. Head to
a vintage shop for a true throwback - in the 40's and 50's men wore
sharp cut suits which required shirts far trimmer than these billowing
monstrosities.
Slim Fit Shirts or Trim Fit Shirts - Slim Fit Shirt are designed to
contour to a thin or athletic body type, keeping a professional and trim
silhouette. These shirts tuck in to pants without leaving a 'muffin top'
around the edge, assuming you don't have too much of your own pastry to
add to the mix. Slim Fit Shirts are cut closer in the sleeves and along
the side/waist of the shirt to keep you looking smooth whether you're
tucked in or out. Pair Slim Fit Shirts with flat front slacks for a
clean professional look or leave untucked over a pair of fitted
distressed jeans for a metropolitan take on Casual Friday.
Athletic Fit or Body Fit or Custom Fit - Athletic Fit are shaped like
you would be if you actually used your gym membership. They have more
fabric in the upper back and shoulders and taper down to a 'V' shape
with a trim wasteline. The sleeves tend to be tighter than classic fit
shirts to show off the results of all of those preacher curls. Many
Athletic Fit shirts have lycra or another stretch material woven into
their fabric to allow the shirt to literally hug your chiseled frame.
This has the added benefit of reducing the visibility of wrinkles.
Athletic fit shirts which are body fitting are more suited to the
nightlife scene than the workplace, as they tend to be more casual in
nature.
Hooded Shirts - Yes, you heard right. Men's hooded dress shirts are now
a viable and incredibly stylish option, letting you add a touch of
street cred to your button-down day. Hooded shirts can (and should) be
worn with a bit of flair and add a unique statement to any outfit. They
can be paired with distressed jeans or dressed up with tweed or khaki
pants for a slightly ironic twist on classic prep style. If you're not
sure whether you can pull this look off, remember: it's all about the
attitude. The hooded shirt is a conversation piece that you'll be
getting compliments on all day.
Now you're equipped with the knowledge to cure your men's department
migrane. Head back to the store and find the fit that's best suited for
your body type and desired look, then show off you new style. No one
will believe that you needed a translation lesson - instead they'll
think that you wrote the book!
