Classic shirt, not fashionable shirt
Posted: July 15th, 2008 | Author: Sandra | Filed under: Clothes | No Comments »Classic shirts should be, well classic. What does this mean? Well they shouldn’t be fashionable (unless of course classic is a trend for the season!). They shouldn’t be suitable for every occasion, although they should always look presentable. They will always look out of place unless they are ironed and crisp.
The shirt is likely to be predominantly white, perhaps with a tinge of pale blue or beige although a purest may dispute that. They must have a collar, otherwise they would be a top not a shirt. And sleeves are a must – where the sleeves end is another matter but sleeveless could never be considered a classic shirt. They must always, always, always cover a paunch and be versatile enough to tuck in or wear over the waistband.
Another characteristic would have to be the availability of said classic shirts. They should be available every season, every year with little or no updates made to the design. Because they are classic. And that’s why we love them.
