Mens Shirt Styles

Nothing says essential like a smart shirt, regardless of the occasion. When it comes to formalwear, a tailored fit, sharp collar and breathable material are three boxes that must be ticked. Take your pick from our formal and cotton formal shirts both available in slim and regular fits to cater to whatever aesthetic you’re after. Crisp cuffs and a semi-cut away collar give our cotton formal shirt a premium-inspired look and feel.

The rise of dopamine dressing has seeped into the formalwear forecast for SS22. Thanks to style icons like Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, the funky mens blazer suit is fast becoming a must-have. Think perennial suit fits combined with printed shirts and head-turning tie and pocket square combos.

Formal Blazer Alternatives

Freshening up your formalwear is all about incorporating it into your everyday wardrobe too so if a matching look is your signature style, our grey check suit also comes in a bomber jacket to create a casual co-ord you can style day-to-day. Pair your suit trousers with a men’s plain t shirt or sweatshirt and finish off with plimsolls to dress down the look.
