The styles of shirts are similar, and upon closer inspection, there are also many classifications. Now let’s take a look at the categories available.
British style shirt
British shirts are also familiar styles to us in terms of style. Most of the shirts commonly seen today are derived from the British style, but due to the influence of the popular American culture, the most common shirt styles on the market are more American style, such as larger sleeve thickness and loose body size. Therefore, it is difficult to see truly tailored British shirts. British style shirts belong to formal shirts in terms of style.
American shirt
The characteristics of American shirts are similar to American suits, they are relatively loose, with fat sleeves and body, and do not pay attention to tailoring that matches the body curves. The collar of a standard American shirt has a pointed buckle, which is fastened to secure the collar at the visual center. Strictly speaking, American style shirts cannot be considered formal shirts, but are more suitable for casual vacations or home wear.
French shirt
French shirts are widely recognized as elegant shirts, known for their beautiful layered sleeves and cufflinks, mainly used to match formal wear.
French shirts have six basic characteristics:
1、 The collar of a French shirt is at least 8 millimeters higher than that of a regular shirt to ensure that the collar of the shirt is higher than the collar of the suit.
2、 The French shirt has a hidden groove behind the collar tip for inserting a metal collar brace to keep the collar straight.
3、 French shirts are more sophisticated than American, British, and Italian styles, and are known for their famous French layered sleeves. The thickened part of the lining on the cuffs of a French shirt is twice as long as that of a regular shirt. When wearing the extra part, it needs to be folded over, and then the opening that needs to be merged should be parallel and closed together. Exquisite cufflinks are used to fix it through it.
4、 French shirt cutting emphasizes a snug fit, without pleating the back (achieved by cutting to widen the shirt), deliberately creating slender and elegant lines. It even has various body types such as a slimming series with a waist cinching design.
5、 The front of the shirt does not have a front patch, and the reinforced part of the buttonhole bottom fabric is placed on the inner side without a front patch. When not wearing a tie, it looks more concise. This type of front is called a traditional front.
6、 Emphasizing aesthetics over functionality, the left front chest also adopts a simple design without a patch pocket. A French shirt is a shirt that can be paired with both formal and formal attire.
Italian style shirt
Italian style shirts are a type of shirt that combines romantic elements with traditional European clothing. They are mainly used to match formal wear and are a typical gentleman’s formal shirt. Although the Milan sleeves of Italian shirts are not as commonly used as the French Kevlar sleeves, they have also become recognized as formal shirts along with French shirts due to their long history in formal wear. Like French shirts, they have become shirts commonly worn by traditional European gentlemen.
Italian Milan sleeves, like French Kevlar sleeves, are double folded sleeves. The difference from French sleeves is:
1、 The Italian style sleeves feature a curved outer hem, which adds a touch of decoration to the traditional cuff design and gives the shirt and its owner a romantic vibe.
2、 Italian style sleeves do not use cufflinks for fixing, but still use regular buttons to fix the cuffs, but in general, the buttons are covered by flip sleeves and are not easily visible.
3、 The front of an Italian shirt is different from the French open and dark front, with a patch on the front.
