Shirt with trousers - a stylish classic

Classic clothing options are always relevant. A universal image for a man, appropriate both in everyday life and at evening events, of course, is a combination of a shirt and trousers.

A classic style shirt is a basic element of a man's wardrobe. It should be made of high-quality material - cotton, or with the addition of no more than 5% synthetics. Silk and linen shirts are appropriate in everyday life, and undesirable in the office - they do not comply with the dress code.

There are several important nuances when choosing the right size shirt. Determining it is quite simple: measure the circumference of the chest and divide the number by two. Russian sizes correspond to European ones as follows: 46-48 -S, 48-50 - M, 50-52 - L, 52-54 - XL, 54-56 - XXL, 56-58 - XXXL. The seams at the base of the sleeves should be located exactly on the shoulders.

To find out the correct size of the collar, you need to measure the girth of the neck, and add 1-2 cm to the number for convenience and freedom. It is not worth adding more: when tying a tie, the collar can be deformed and become untidy.

You can create a classic business look with gray trousers by using shirts in white, beige and light gray shades. For casual style, the combination of gray trousers with pale pink, light blue, cream and beige shirts is ideal. You should not combine gray trousers with beach-style shirts and bright active prints.

Strict blue trousers look perfect with a white shirt. All shades of blue trousers go well with pastel shades of shirts: beige, light blue, peach, light pink.

Light shades of shirts are suitable for light trousers, but they should not merge and create the effect of a single “spot”. Shirts with different prints are suitable for white trousers: cage, stripe, small rib. The combination of light trousers with burgundy, gray, green, black and brown shirts also looks interesting.

When choosing a shirt for beige trousers, you should pay attention to shades of brown, white, black and light pink. The beige shade of trousers must necessarily differ from the skin tone of their owner. The bright, saturated colors of the shirts make the beige trousers faded, so you should save them for other sets.

White, beige and cafe au lait shirts create a business look with brown trousers.For a casual bright look, yellow, green and orange shades of shirts are suitable. Checked and striped shirts in the presented colors look spectacular.

Blue trousers are ideally combined with white, beige, apricot, light pink shirts. For a brighter look, shirts in yellow and coral colors, as well as with plaid and striped prints, are suitable.

Shirts in white, gray, blue and light blue will be a good option for a set with yellow trousers. It is best to refuse shirts of bright, saturated colors: the emphasis in the image should be on one thing. Black shirts are also suitable, but for such an image it is imperative to select suitable accessories: a belt and shoes.

The combination of dark trousers and white shirts or light, pastel colors is a classic business look. For everyday outings, light colors are suitable, as well as bright, saturated shades or prints - if the emphasis is on the shirt.

In the image for the office, it is unacceptable to wear an untucked shirt, however, for everyday outings, this will be quite appropriate. There are certain nuances of which shirt can be worn for graduation:

• if the shirt is short (not below the hips) and the size is exactly right;
• if the shirt collar is informal, buttoned;
• if the bottom of the shirt is rounded, it can be worn for release.

A tucked-in shirt is a classic masculine look. Many stylists note that such an image looks more neat and solid. A "belt shirt" is an essential part of the office style, and also looks good in an informal style of clothing.

There are several ways to perfectly tuck in a shirt:

• I tuck my shirt into my unbuttoned trousers, pulling it over the edges in front so that it fits snugly around my back at the back. Then do not fasten the belt too tightly so that the thumbs can pass. Gently tuck your fingers under the belt and smooth the folds of the shirt from the stomach to the sides;
• gently straighten the shirt, put on the trousers without fastening the belt. Fold the pleats at the side seams of the shirt on one side, press it down with a belt, and do the same on the other side. The perfect fold is obtained by laying it to the hem of the shirt.

A shirt that has come out of trousers can instantly spoil the image of its owner. There are several methods for solving the problem:

• some manufacturers produce pants that have a silicone band sewn into the waistband that can hold the shirt in place. If it is not on the trousers initially, you can sew it on in the atelier or on your own;
• choose fitted styles of shirts;
• complement the image with a belt that will “press down” the shirt.

There are a few basic rules when choosing shoes for an outfit with trousers and a shirt. For a business style, it is better to give preference to classic shoes. With a strict dress code, black shoes are appropriate, with a non-strict dress code - brown and coffee, with casual - burgundy and burgundy wine colors.

Sneakers are suitable for an informal and casual look, and are popular due to their convenience. They do not go well with classic business trousers. Black, gray and white sneakers are considered versatile for everyday looks, but the color models, matched to match the shirt, look modern and fresh.

Moccasins are light and comfortable shoes with a rich variety of colors and finishes, ideal for casual style. It is also appropriate in a business image, however, only models made in classic colors and strict cut.

The complex of a shirt with informal trousers is complemented by any model of moccasins. The main thing is not to overdo it with the color and accessories of shoes. Bright trousers in combination with bright moccasins create an effect of excessive variegation, and red moccasins are not worn with dark trousers.
