How do men wear French shirts?
Strictly speaking, everything with a formal dress should be a French shirt with sleeves and chains. Presumably, everyone knows such a formal dress rule: shirt cuffs should show one inch of suit cuffs. If we look back from history, this is not a dress code for suits, but a dress code for shirts.
Men's French dressing skills
1, the upper and lower colors should be divided.
When choosing the colors of the upper and lower clothes, we must pay attention to the subdivision of tones, and a certain span should be formed between colors. The best one is black, blue and brown shirt+white pants, which is the most obvious contrast. Of course, it is also possible to contrast light and dark, that is, to match the same color system, but the color difference needs to be obvious, such as dark coffee and light khaki on the left. If the contrast is not obvious, it is easy to confuse one piece, and the probability of skin color+weak contrast is quite high.
2. The choice of pants is the key.
In fact, there are many light colors of French trousers, the most common ones are white, light khaki, light gray and so on. Because neutral colors can coexist peacefully with most colors, they are soft and not stiff. On the version, it is recommended to choose loose straight pants, which must be avoided when repairing the body. This is not a gentleman.
3, shoes echo light feet.
Finally, the choice of shoes, there is nothing to say about the style, pursue yuppies, choose casual shoes or loafers, pursue trendy mix and match, and sports shoes are OK. As far as color is concerned, I have to say one more thing. Be sure to choose dark shoes to finish, preferably with the color of the coat, so that the whole person has a stronger sense of balance.
Characteristics of French shirts
1, luxury French sleeve folding
French shirts are more exquisite than American, British and Italian, and French sleeves greatly enhance the decoration of shirts. The padded cuffs of French shirts are twice as long as those of ordinary shirts. When you wear them, you should turn over the long parts, and then the openings to be merged should be parallel and close together, and they should be fixed through beautifully made cufflinks. At this time, the front of the cuff looks not round, but dripping. Seen from the side, the shirt cuffs are exposed from the suit cuffs, and the shape is wide and vertical. Buttons are French cufflinks with different shapes, inlaid with metal or gems, which look beautiful and charming.
2. Increase the European square collar
It is 8 to 12 mm higher than the ordinary shirt, so as to ensure that the shirt collar is higher than the suit collar by a certain height, and fully show the noble and straight temperament of this shirt when it is exposed from the suit.
3. Solid movable collar groove
There is a hidden groove behind the collar tip of a French shirt, which is used to insert a special metal collar brace to keep the collar straight. This can not only make the collar stand at a straight angle when wearing a tie, but also make the collar stand at 90 degrees when not wearing a tie. Moreover, because the collar height is 8- 12 mm higher than the general collar, the effect similar to the high collar will naturally show the taste of nobility, and the simple and tidy collar without collar buttons looks very comfortable. The neck rest is made of high-grade metal, which can be bent into the shape you like, so that the collar can form a beautiful curve with it and cover the tie obediently. (China Fashion Network)
4, French close-fitting tailoring
French shirt tailoring emphasizes close fitting without pleating on the back (the shirt widening effect depends entirely on tailoring), aiming at creating slender and elegant lines. It even has a variety of body models, such as the waist self-cultivation series.
5, French simple placket
There is no front sticker on the front of the shirt, and the reinforced part of the buttonhole cloth is placed inside, which makes it look simpler when you don't wear a tie. This front is called the French front.
6. There is no bag on the chest
The left front chest is not as simple as patch pocket's design, which is one of the characteristics of French shirts.
How important are the cufflinks of French shirts?
The living soul of French shirts: cufflinks, which are buttons or chains specially matched with French double-fold cuffs, are often called "men's jewels". Cufflinks play a very important role in French shirts with folded sleeves. A little carelessness will lead to the tragedy of "one careless move will lose the game". At the same time, this hidden dark corner is also a key part for men to fully display their personality.
