Men's shirt style
Short-sleeve - to the office. Short sleeve shirts are not as formal as long sleeve shirts. That is why they are indispensable in the heat. Especially in the metropolis. Especially in the office, where they can easily be worn in a company with a tie and jacket. If you have already prepared your body for the summer, go for a narrow silhouette like Jil Sander. And find the must have from Dolce and Gabbana - short sleeves with cuffs.

The rest of the time, wear them with shorts or flamboyant pants and sandals, like the models at the Dries van Noten and Tommy Hilfiger shows. And in the office, do not forget about the white narrow tie.
Tommy Hilfiger Men's Shirt. Beige - new white. Shirts in the color of building sand and a pack of Marlboro Lights (Alexander McQueen, Calvin Kline Collection, Burberry Prorsum, Yves Saint Laurent) combine safari, military and school uniforms. To emphasize severity, fasten them with all the buttons.
Burberry Prorsum Men's Shirt. Motley shirts not all on the same "face". This summer, in a paint-splattered version from Dries van Noten, you can pretend to be an artist or just drop in at the opening of a new exhibition in the Garage. You can complete your holiday suitcase to India or Bali with Hermes oriental shirts. Or go on a safari in Africa in a Balenciaga and Givenchy animal print shirt. Or show everyone how much you love Gucci and Louis Vuitton - and you are not even embarrassed by large logos. If you are not too sure of your own stylistic gift, consult a specialist or combine colorful shirts with only monochromatic things. Landmark - Leonid Parfenov.
What to wear a shirt with?
With shorts. This trend has nothing to do with sports. Wear shirts not with Bermuda or bicycles, but with strict shorts in discreet colors in cotton and linen. The most relevant and versatile length is just above the knee. And no sneakers. Sandals, oxfords and even army boots are what Dolce and Gabbana, Prada and 3.1 Phillip Lim offer. A belt is optional, but if you insist, let it be made of woven leather with a laconic buckle.
Dolce and Gabbana Men's Shirt. With suits to match. Ideal for the lazy and always in a hurry. No need to rack your brains over the color combination. Dress from head to toe in white, blue, sand, light gray is offered by Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren Black Label and Victor & Rolf. Just like Mikki Rourke in Angel Heart.

Roll up your sleeves … Any long-sleeved shirt can be trendy. All you need to do is roll up the sleeves above the elbow, as at the shows of D & G, Louis Vuitton and many others.
Dolce & Gabbana Men's Shirt. For release … This is what mothers will not understand for sure and girls will not appreciate the strictest rules. But why would you listen to them? Don't tuck your shirts into your trousers, as Diesel Black Gold and Paul Smith do this season and travel journalist Gennady Josefavicius always. The main thing is that it is appropriate.
Fastened with all the buttons … The restrained and prim image of the new romantics, the British group Hurts clearly attracted the creative director of Givenchy house Riccardo Tisci. Wear them with a jacket, but more often on your own.
Unbuttoning three or four top buttons … This summer, unbuttoned shirts can afford not only gopniks, but also aesthetes. The main difference between the second and the first is a sports figure, the absence of dense vegetation on the chest and a sense of proportion: leave a few lower buttons buttoned. Etro, Roberto Cavalli and Antonio Banderas do just that.
