THE LONDON EDIT: STYLING MEN'S SHIRTS

The Professional (Work): A crisp white formal shirt in poplin cotton, paired with charcoal tailored trousers and black leather Oxford shoes. Add a silk tie in a subtle pattern for complete polish. Timeless, professional, and always appropriate.

Smart Casual: A blue Oxford shirt worn with beige chinos and brown leather loafers. Roll the sleeves once or twice for a relaxed feel. Add a fine-gauge merino jumper over the shoulders for cooler days. Effortless, stylish, and endlessly versatile.

Weekend Casual: A heavyweight white t-shirt tucked into dark wash jeans with a tan leather belt and white trainers. Add a denim jacket or leather jacket for edge. The ultimate off-duty uniform.

Summer Style: A white linen shirt worn untucked with navy chinos and espadrilles or leather sandals. Roll the sleeves to just below the elbow. Breezy, elegant, and perfect for warm weather.

Layered Look (Winter): A checked casual shirt layered under a fine-gauge crew neck jumper with the collar and cuffs showing. Pair with wool trousers and Chelsea boots. Texture, warmth, and style combined.

THE FIT GUIDE: FINDING YOUR PERFECT SHIRT FIT

Slim Fit: Tailored through the chest and waist with a closer fit to the body. Tapered sleeves with narrower armholes. Ideal for leaner builds and those who prefer a modern, streamlined silhouette. Best worn untucked or tucked with slim trousers.

Regular Fit: Classic cut with room through the chest and waist. Straight sleeves with comfortable armholes. The most versatile fit, suitable for most body types. Works well tucked or untucked, with any trouser style.

Tailored Fit: Our middle ground – more shaped than regular fit but not as close as slim fit. Cut with a slightly tapered waist while maintaining comfort through the chest. A flattering choice for many body types.

How a shirt should fit:
- Collar: Should fit snugly – you should be able to slide two fingers between your neck and the collar comfortably.
- Shoulders: The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder bone, not dropping down the arm.
- Chest: Fabric should skim the body without pulling or gaping when you move.
- Sleeves: Should end at the base of your thumb when arms are relaxed at your sides. Cuffs should be snug enough to stay in place but allow movement.
- Length: Should be long enough to stay tucked in (for formal shirts) or hit mid-fly when untucked (for casual styles).

THE COLLAR GUIDE: CHOOSING YOUR STYLE

Spread Collar: Modern and versatile. The collar points spread outward, creating a wider space for tie knots. Flatters most face shapes and works well with or without a tie. Our most popular collar for formal shirts.

Button-Down Collar: Classic and casual. The collar points are buttoned to the shirt, keeping them neat and in place. Traditionally associated with Oxford shirts and casual styles. Perfect for smart-casual dressing.

Cutaway Collar: Contemporary and bold. The collar points are cut away at a wider angle, creating a dramatic spread. Best worn with a tie and a larger knot. A favourite for modern professionals.

Traditional Point Collar: Timeless and classic. The collar points sit close together, creating a neat, traditional look. Works well with or without a tie. A safe, elegant choice.

Mandarin Collar: Clean and modern. A stand-up collar without points – no tie required. Perfect for a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic. Often found on casual and linen shirts.

THE FABRIC GUIDE: CHOOSING YOUR SHIRT

Poplin Cotton: Smooth, crisp, and lightweight. Poplin is a plain weave fabric that's breathable and easy to iron. The classic choice for formal shirts and year-round wear.

Egyptian Cotton: Long-staple cotton prized for its softness, strength, and lustre. Our Egyptian cotton shirts offer superior comfort and durability – they improve with wear and washing.

Twill Cotton: Diagonal weave that's softer and more durable than poplin. Twill resists wrinkles and has a subtle texture. Ideal for everyday wear and those who prefer a slightly relaxed feel.

Oxford Cloth: A basket-weave fabric that's soft, textured, and durable. Traditionally used for casual shirts, it's comfortable and ages beautifully. The Oxford shirt gets softer with each wash.

Linen: Breathable, lightweight, and naturally textured. Linen is perfect for warm weather – it wicks moisture and dries quickly. It softens with wear and develops a relaxed, lived-in character.

Jersey Cotton (T-Shirts): Soft, stretchy, and comfortable. Our jersey t-shirts are crafted from premium cotton with a fine knit that holds its shape. Perfect for everyday wear and layering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: MEN'S SHIRTS & TOPS

SHIRT CARE GUIDE: KEEPING YOUR SHIRTS PRISTINE

Formal & Cotton Shirts: Machine wash according to care label. Remove promptly from washer to minimise creasing. Iron while slightly damp for best results. Store on hangers to maintain shape.

Non-Iron Shirts: Machine wash gentle. Remove promptly from dryer and hang. These shirts are designed for minimal ironing – a quick smooth with your hands often suffices.

Linen Shirts: Machine wash gentle, 30°C. Hang to dry. Iron while damp for a crisp finish, or embrace the natural texture. Linen softens beautifully with each wash.

T-Shirts: Machine wash cold inside out to preserve colour and print. Avoid tumble drying to maintain shape. Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching.

Storing Tips: Always button the top button when hanging to maintain collar shape. Use wooden or padded hangers for best results. For long-term storage, ensure shirts are clean and completely dry.
