subject: How To Choose The Perfect Tailored Shirt [print this page] Its a fact that shirts dont last forever, and the items you chose when you were younger probably wont last to see you through to old age. The average shirt lasts around two years, and you will probably grow out of, or get tired of, many shirts before the two years is up. This means youll need to buy many new shirts in your lifetime. But how do you choose the right shirt for you? Unfortunately many men opt for ill-fitting shirts in bad colors that do nothing to create a good impression. When you are looking for the perfect tailored shirt, what do you look for? The first thing to consider when you are shopping for a tailored shirt is the quality of the shirt and the craftsmanship behind it. Look at the finishing detail, the way the hem is completed and the buttons finished. You should aim to buy the highest quality shirt you can afford. Fortunately, with the arrival of online made-to-measure tailors you can buy top quality shirts that fit at a fraction of the price you would previously have had to pay.
Another important thing to consider when you are shopping for a new shirt is the fit. Well-fitting shirts are so much better than a shirt that simply covers your arms and body. Ideally, you should have a shirt tailored to your exact measurements so you can be sure you are getting the right fit. Custom made shirts are better than shirts bought from the store because they take into consideration your true proportions. Buying a medium sized shirt, or a large shirt, is not enough to ensure you get a good fit. You need to know your measurements and you need a shirt made to these measurements.
Next, look at the style you prefer. There are many different varieties of collar available to choose from and when you look at the full range available you will be able to find one that suits you. There are also a number of options for cuffs. The color of the shirt is also important. Dont always stick to white or blue, there are many other options available and its good to make a change and have a few shirts that are colorful or a little bit different. As long as the shirt fits well and youve chosen the style that suits you, the color can only enhance what is a great addition to your closet.
