EVERY MAN NEEDS SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS

Whether it’s in the office, on a night out with friends at the bar or a weekend at the beach, you can rock a short sleeve shirt with style. Most men see short sleeve shirts as being strictly for casual wear, well this is a myth. You can wear a short sleeve shirt to the office if you work in a semi formal environment. Worn correctly, a short sleeve dress shirt is a sleek yet elegant piece that you’ll be able to pull off in a variety of settings.
However, there are rules for wearing a short sleeve shirt;

1. Fit: Fit is important with any shirt, but it might be even more important when your shirt has short sleeves. More-so than a traditional dress shirt, short sleeve shirts look significantly better when cut close to the body. Make sure it fits correctly across the chest and body, as well as in sleeve length and width. The sleeve should end mid-bicep, and you should only be able to fit a finger between it and your arm. To get that perfect fitted, slim fit look, we recommend you go for bespoke. Ikaidi shirts promises to give you a perfect fit, contact +234 812 920 1176 for enquiries.

2. Pattern: Short sleeve shirts are an excellent opportunity to play with pattern. For casual outings, feel free to ditch the solid and subtle colours you would wear to the office. Go bolder with patterns like ginghams, florals, checks, stripes, plaids or anything else you feel brave enough to try.

3. Fabric: You can use your short-sleeved shirt as an opportunity to experiment with fabric and textures. Seeing as it work best as a summer wardrobe item, you’ll probably want something lighter. Opt for cotton, linen or poplin.

3 Ways To Rock A Short Sleeve Shirt
1. Short sleeve and shorts: This can make for a perfect beach outfit. Just about any short sleeved unbuttoned shirt will go with a white singlet and a pair of mid-length shorts. Throw in some white sneakers and a pair of sunglasses and you’re good to go

2. Short sleeve and chinos: Pair it with  chinos or fitted trousers and you’ve got the quintessential summer look to keep you cool and professional at the same time. Tucking in the shirt is dependent on your workplace but the general rule is to play it safe by tucking it in for office duty

3. Print short sleeve shirt and denim jeans: For weekend duties, you can pair it with anything from denim to a more relaxed fitting lounge pants or chinos. As per usual, white sneakers will work a treat here.
