The Many Styles Of Button-down Collar Shirts
Button-down collared shirts come in many styles
. They can present a casual or professional look for your business. You can consider styles, colors, and cuts for your business while considering which one is the best for your business. Think about what type of business you have, what your employees will be doing in your shirts and how you wish to present your business to your clients.When considering button-down collar shirts you will need to consider the styles available; club, camp, or oxford. Each style has its advantages. The camp and club shirts do not have shirt tails so you would not have to tuck in these types of shirts, but they have short sleeves for those who work outdoors or in heated environments. The oxford will give a more professional appearance with tails that have to be tucked in and can be worn with suits and ties.
The camp and club shirts are also ideal for silk screening, printing and embroidery. Whether you are considering shirts for your bowling league or shirts for summer camp counselors, camp and club shirts are the ideal shirt. They offer a wider range of movement than the oxford in that they do not have to be tucked in after movements such as reaching or bending, oxford will have to be tucked in after these movements to maintain a neat appearance.
Another thing to consider is the colors available. When choosing a button-down collared shirt for your business you will need to choose a color for your business. Color can make a big difference when selecting your shirts. If your employees are working in a heated environment then lighter colors are recommended since they do not absorb heat. White may be crisp and clean but stains easily.
If your work in areas that can cause stains then white would not be a good color choice. If you will have you logo or business information printed on the shirts then you will have to choose a color that compliments.
The cut of the button-down collar shirts is also important. There are several cuts available for your business shirts. You can choose pleating, darting, smocking, short sleeves, long sleeves, or shoulder pads. Each will affect how the shirt worn. Smocking at the shoulders can prevent the logo or design from being placed on the front of the shirt as will pleating.
Darts will allow for a most custom fit of the shirt to the wearer and shoulder pads will give a more defined edge to the shoulder area. If your employees have larger shoulders then a shoulder pads are not a good choice. Camp and club shirts are a straight line which doesn't allow for darts. Short sleeves can be worn with or without a suit jacket and tie. Choose the best choice for your business.
Considering the style, color, and cut of a button-down collared shirt will help you decide which shirts will fit your business and which ones won't. They can present a casual look or a professional look depending on what your employees will be doing, the type of business you have and how you wish to present yourself to your clients.
