Men's and Women's Shirt Sale

Oxford, poplin or flannel: three weaves, three uses

The weave defines the character of a shirt. The Oxford, woven in a basket style, offers a visible texture and good durability: it’s the fabric for Fred Perry and Blend Sun shirts, robust and casual, that don’t require meticulous ironing. The poplin, with its tight and smooth weave, provides a neat and slightly shiny appearance; the stretch version from Michael Kors, in a slim fit, complements office days without restricting movement. The flannel, brushed for a soft and warm touch, like the organic cotton one from Colorful Standard, is the shirt of winter, which can also be worn open, like a light jacket.

The button-down collar, from the polo fields

The button-down collar, where the points attach to the shirt with two small buttons, originated on English polo fields at the end of the nineteenth century: riders created it to prevent their collar from flapping in the wind while galloping. A New York company discovered it during a match and began producing it in 1896, eventually pairing it with Oxford cotton. This combination has stood the test of time: the button-down Oxford shirt remains the ultimate smart-casual classic, structured enough for a meeting, yet relaxed enough to be worn with rolled-up sleeves. The thicker shacket extends this spirit when worn open, like a mid-season jacket.

Slim or straight fit: how to choose your shirt size

A well-fitted shirt is first judged by the shoulders: the seam should fall exactly on the shoulder bone, neither too far forward nor too far back. The closed collar should allow for one finger's width, and the sleeve should stop at the base of the thumb, with arms hanging by the sides. The slim fit follows the body shape and is suitable for slim silhouettes; the straight fit, looser around the belly, provides ease for broader builds and can be easily worn over trousers. Women's models, such as the Pieces shirt or the COMMA voile shirt, focus more on the fluidity of the fabric. During sales and throughout the year, refer to each brand's size guide, as sizes vary from label to label.

Frequently asked questions

How do I easily iron a shirt?

Iron it while it's still slightly damp, starting with the collar, then the cuffs, the sleeves, and finally the back and fronts. An Oxford can handle a quick ironing, while poplin requires more care to stay crisp.

Does a cotton shirt shrink in the wash?

An untreated cotton can shrink slightly on the first wash, especially at high temperatures or in the dryer. Washing at thirty degrees and air drying on a hanger reduces this risk and also minimizes ironing.

Should I tuck my shirt into my trousers?

A shirt with a straight and fairly short bottom, often in flannel or short sleeves, is designed to be worn over. A shirt with a rounded and longer bottom, like most poplin models, can be tucked into trousers.

What is organic cotton?

Cotton grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, from non-genetically modified seeds. It provides a fabric identical in touch, with less impact on soil and water.

When should I wear a short-sleeved shirt?

A short sleeve, like that of the Kariban Aces shirt, is reserved for summer and casual outfits. It can be worn open over a t-shirt or buttoned up in warm weather, but never under a suit jacket.
