Men’s Dress Shirt

Following the previous article, here you will find additional tips when searching through Robert Graham's clothing for the right men’s dress shirt for you. There are some other important features and aspects of a shirt that you must lookout for. From your most common and every-day shirts to designer shirts, most rules will apply to all of them when selecting the right clothing. So let's see what else we have here to help you out!

Choosing The Right Men’s Shirt Material

There is a broad spectrum of choices when it comes down to materials and fabrics for your men’s apparel, but I would recommend 100% cotton as one of the most suitable and best fit for all men. Polyester was in the past one of the favorite choices for shirts, but they are no longer used since materials have evolved and much better ones showed up. Cotton designer men shirts will allow your skin to breathe better and it will also fit you way better than any other material available in the market. They are definitely worth their price and you will not be disappointed if you do get one.

Determining Chest Size

First and foremost, you should double check your chest size to ensure that your chosen shirt will suit you well. If you usually wear big and tall clothing, then a slim, tailored fit might look strange on you and even make you feel a bit uncomfortable. This has happened to me before and it is one of the worst feelings when you are out there in your favorite social or sport event with an odd fitting shirt. If you are anything like me, maybe you even start suspecting that people are also noticing that you shirt was not the best match for you and might look up and down. This does not happen all the time, but if you ever have been through this while wearing a slim men’s dress shirt, than you know what I'm talking about.

I mostly wear tailored, slim-fit men’s shirts like the ones from Robert Graham clothing collection, but you must be careful when choosing a designer shirt like that. You must ensure that before making your purchase, you fully test your shirt to see if the shirt won't stop you from moving around freely. If you do not do that, you may end up with a beautiful, tailored shirt that will make you walk with your arms tight around your body out of fear of ripping it apart with the smallest move of your arm. Definitely not a good choice, no matter what the price says!

Choosing The Right Neck Collar

When searching through Robert Graham clothing, you want to make sure you double check how your neck fit with your chose shirt. This has happened to me before and a shirt that at the time of buying seemed  like a great choice, turned out to be not a good choice when I've tried to buttoned the last button on my neck. It didn't buttoned at all making it terrible to wear it! They usually have the neck measurement printed on the collar, but double check it, button it up and see if you fit 3 fingers between your collar and your neck. This should be an ideal standard to guide you through when buying men’s shirts.

"But my fingers are really, really big. Should I try with only 2 fingers??" I do get that question a lot, but the answer is no, you should not try with 2 fingers. Do it with three fingers and you should be fine. Also make sure that when searching through the best Robert Graham clothing, you also check the collar and choose among the modern spread collar or the standard straight collar.
