There are two common ways that people wear a shirt: either untucked with jeans or tucked in with formal trousers. While they are evergreen styles, they aren’t suitable for every occasion. It’s time to explore other options and style them to suit the occasion.
Here are five different ways to wear men’s shirts and stand out in the crowd.
- Pair them with Jackets
There are three alternatives to choose from in this style. Firstly, wear a blazer over a plain, solid-colored, or striped men’s shirt to attain a sharp and professional look. The second alternative is to wear a half jacket over a tucked or untucked shirt for a modern, versatile look.
Lastly, you can style light or dark-colored solid men’s shirts with a stylish leather jacket that either matches the shirt’s color or contrasts it. However, do note that these options are more suitable during the UAE winters, as besides making a fashion statement, jackets will keep you warm.
- Untucked and Unbuttoned
In the scorching UAE summers, all you need is airy and comfortable clothing. The best way to achieve this is to wear a shirt with the buttons open and not tuck it in.
You may wear striped, plain, printed, and even denim men’s shirts in this manner with pants, chinos, or shorts. If you don’t feel comfortable exposing the body, then wear a round-neck t-shirt under the shirt. Also, don’t forget to roll up your sleeves to make it more casual.
This laid-back look works great in casual settings, when you’re meeting friends, going out for dinner, shopping, or enjoying on the beach.
- Checked Shirts
Checked shirts are perfect for hanging out with friends and family or staying alone in the evenings. Depending on how you style them, they are also ideal for office wear.
Generally, for your relaxed evenings, you may pair checked shirts with literally any kind of bottoms. You may wear formal pants, linen trousers, jeans, chinos, cargos, joggers, straight-fit, and shorts.
However, mix checked shirts with formal pants or linen trousers to create a business casual look. You’ll need to tuck them in, though, so that they look professional.
- Pair with a Turtleneck
This combination works best during winter, providing the best comfort, and you don’t lose out on fashion. You may wear a turtleneck in any color of your choice under solid-colored men’s shirts. It creates a very unique and bold look.
Formal trousers, chinos, corduroy trousers, and wool trousers are options for the bottoms with this combo. You can accessorize it with boots or loafers, a classic analogue watch, and a thin chain to give it a more casual look.
- Half Sleeve Shirts with Jeans
If you’ve never tried half-sleeve shirts, now is the time to get one. You may buy them in lots of different designs, such as striped, plain, printed, and checks. Additionally, they are available in different materials, like linen, wool, rayon, cotton, and more.
So, based on the UAE’s weather conditions, you may choose the right shirt fabric. Then, wear it with any type of jeans you have. It’ll match with parallel denims, bootcut, baggy, and regular fit. Just remember that you don’t have to tuck them in when pairing with jeans.
