How to Choose Your Perfect Men’s Shirt?
According to studies conducted, the average man will spend up to twelve hours a day in his dress shirt. While this may sound like several hours, it can be good for many men when you add up the hours spent commuting to and from work, hours at the office, and hours of meetings.
For this reason, it is very important when selecting men's shirts that they are as comfortable as possible. An important factor in determining how comfortable a shirt will be to wear is the material from which the shirt is made.
Shape
Generally, shirts are sized according to their collar. To find the correct collar size, measure around the neck with a tape measure, being careful not to pull the tape too tightly. For comfort, and to allow for collar shrinkage in the wash, the collar size chosen should be half an inch larger than the measured neck size.

Cloth
Pure natural fabrics will give the best results, and cotton is generally accepted as the classic shirt fabric, which is light, airy, and cool in hot weather. Cotton shirt fabrics come in a variety of qualities – aim for good two-fold cotton with a yarn count of at least 100 for a soft fabric with a nice shine.
Colour
White remains the classic color of shirt for formal occasions. Originally worn to indicate that the wearer can wash their shirt before every wear, this tradition continues today and is the default choice for all formal shirts. The cream can also be worn on these occasions.
For less formal shirts, the choice is wide open. Stripes can flatter the wearer, and checks are great for less formal summer wear.
