Why Every Guy Needs Gingham

By



Guys, it’s time to talk about a style you need in your closet: gingham. When you hear others talk about “the small, checkered pattern” with a grip on trending menswear, you can say, “You mean gingham?” You learned the name, so you might as well share the knowledge. And while you’re at it, share another message: Gingham is for the guys. Here’s why.

 Adding More Color to Your Closet

Add a gingham collared shirt to your closet if you’re tired of black, white, and other solid colors. Gingham has a subtler pattern than plaid or stripes, and if that’s hard to believe, try wearing it under a blazer. The pattern peeking out at the collar or showing from under the blazer opening adds just enough of a pop of color for more style in your workwear.

Collared Shirt

High-quality gingham collared shirts in blue, green, and even a subtle peach color are perfect during spring and summer. You could also grab a new gingham shirt when the seasons change later in the year, just in case your favorite brand offers new shades for fall and winter.

 Ensuring You Have a Versatile Dress Shirt

Gingham patterns go with everything, especially those in primary colors like blue and red (or natural tones like peach and sage). You can wear them with gray pants, khaki pants, blue blazers, and olive-colored blazers, and you can even pattern-mix them with a flannel suit on the right occasion.

On top of looking good, a gingham shirt made with modern performance fabric and innovative design features makes it versatile in terms of where and when you wear it. With lightweight, performance material, you feel more comfortable wearing a button-down shirt to work or for a special occasion. Breathability and four-way stretch also ensure you can move more easily, which is great for reaching across your desk, taking walks on your lunch break, or walking through the city after work.

 Giving Layers a Pop of Personality

A gingham shirt is an obvious choice under a blazer, but what about other layers? Gingham can lend just enough personality to your favorite looks to help them show that you’re a man who knows how to style his clothes without looking like you’re trying too hard.

Give your look more personality by pairing a gingham shirt with a mens quarter zip for a more versatile look, or wear it with a vest if you want to keep things semi-casual. The variety of ways you can wear a gingham shirt will have you looking forward to the day after laundry day when your favorite shirts are ready to wear again.

 Looking Good with Any Pair of Pants

Collared shirts with a gingham pattern work perfectly for your professional attire, so you can wear them with your best pants to the office. You can also style them with jeans. If it’s the weekend but you still feel drawn to gingham, wear your favorite shirt with a pair of 5 pocket pants. They complement the vibe of the shirt equally well and work for both casual and professional settings.

The combination of a patterned collared shirt and solid-colored pants is a classic choice. You can split up the two clothing items with a high-quality belt and accessorize with some classy shoes to complete your look, which looks good in the office or at dinner with the in-laws.

No matter where life takes you, bring your favorite gingham shirt along for the ride.

The Best Menswear Patterns for Winter and Spring

  Everyone knows how to prepare for the transition from fall to winter, but what about the change from winter to spring? This seasonal shift can be, for lack of a better word, awkward. There’s not necessarily a go-to trend that everyone knows to get through this unpredictable period when it’s getting warmer but it’s still not quite warm. Even a shortway through winter, you’re already looking ahead to the spring. By the time the new season does come around, the weather forecast isn’t quite as bright and warm enough to enjoy a round of golf or an afternoon downtown in shorts and a t-shirt. However, getting in the right mindset for that transitional period is possible, and it can start with something as simple as wearing more patterned dress shirts for men . Prints and patterns liven up the look of any outfit. Even subtle changes to the standard white or blue collared shirt can breathe new life into your closet toward the end of winter and help you feel ready to embrace the spring. C...

How to Make Cornflower Blue a Staple Color in Your Menswear Rotation

  The ink of a ballpoint pen, Bing Crosby in technicolor, and the color of your favorite collared shirt make you realize just how much you love a great blue. It’s inviting but feels cool, masculine yet eye-catching. That’s especially true for a color like cornflower blue. This light shade of blue may be named after a flower, but it’s a color every man should have in his closet, even if you don’t typically wear floral patterns. Vintage fits are back in style, and so is color. Yet, jumping right into wearing bolder colors when you’re used to neutrals can feel like a big change. If you aren’t quite ready for an orchid purple or even an olive green, cornflower blue is an easy-going staple color for your menswear rotation. Embracing new colors this year might even help you gain some new perspective on your wardrobe. Collared Shirt An Ideal Winter-to-Spring Transition Color You probably don’t swap all your clothes from winter to spring at once. You want to keep wearing your go-to sty...
