Everything You Ever Need to Know About Men's and Women's Shirts
Men's shirts have been around for a long time, however, until the 18th century men's shirts were only worn under outer garments. The fact that they were viewed as components of underclothing explains why it is seen as an faux pas for a man to remove his suit jacket uninvited. In 1871 Brown, Davis and Co. introduced the world to the first man's shirt with buttons down the front. Today, these have evolved being the formal and casual men's shirts and ladies shirts we know today.
Men's and ladies: fabric weaves and washes
The finest men's shirts are 100% cotton which ensures they are soft, breathable and sturdy. Here are a few from the cotton fabric weaves, washes and styles you'll find in formal and casual shirts that are offered today.
Poplin Crisp, cool and comfortable, poplin is the classic cotton shirt fabric that is ideal throughout the year, for a lot of occasions.
Oxford
A shirt by having an Oxford weave is generally a little heavier and warmer than a cotton poplin weave so it's ideal in the cooler the fall and winter months. Oxford cloth usually contains a mixture of dyed and undyed threads to give a more relaxed casual shirt.
Pinpoint
The pinpoint weave is a mixture of both cotton poplin and Oxford. It is woven using long staple cotton (for added softness) and, just like the Oxford shirt weave, just the warp yarn is dyed.
Herringbone and twill
These are textured men's weaves that create a diagonal structure and gives the shirts interesting accents. Both weaves are warmer than classic poplin so might be favoured within the colder seasons.
Peach finish
A shirt having a peach finish has usually undergone a procedure in which the fabric has been very lightly distressed - this gives it an extra soft feel. Men's and girls shirts having a peach or carbon finish are often casual shirts.
Vintage wash
Vintage wash women's and men's garments are extremely similar to individuals with peach finishes. They are exceptionally soft to touch and have a 'worn-in' look which is very comfortable, cosy and relaxed.
Men's and girls shirts: how you can fold a shirt correctly
Ideally, men's and ladies shirts should be continued hangers within the wardrobe, but there are occasions when shirts need to be folded. There's a knack to folding both smart and casual shirts which will ensure they'll stay smooth and wrinkle-free. Lay the shirt face down using the buttons fastened, then fold one for reds over until about halfway across the shoulder. Fold the rest of the sleeve over itself so it lies flat in a straight line parallel to the side of the shirt. Repeat for that other side so the shirt forms a rectangle. Then fold the shirt in half so the bottom hem touches the collar.
Men's shirts
Men's shirts: how to find the right shirt for the build
Tall If you are tall and lean select a garment with cutaway collars, or spread collars, to help you look broader. If you're tall and muscular, a fitted shirt will help you look more powerful.
Athletic build Athletic builds can pull off fitted or semi-fitted men's clothes rather well. Choose small collars (like cutaway collars) if you have a short neck.

Rotund build Wide builds should select classic fit shirts with pleats, ideally with vertical stripes. Also go for classic collars which are large enough to draw attention away from the waist.
Why every man should own a white shirt
'till the end of the nineteenth century the white top would be a sign of wealth because only a man with sufficient money could afford to have his washing done frequently - and white looks dirty the quickest. Today, men's formal white shirts are still viewed as a stylish option.

Ladies shirts
Ladies shirts: a brief history
It's believed that women first began to wear shirts around 1890 when freedom fighters donned red wool shirts under the charismatic Giuseppe Garibaldi. Today, ladies shirts have evolved into many different styles including blouses, sleeveless shirts, casual shirts and more, in a number of fabrics. As with men's shirts, the most popular choice are women's shirts in 100% cotton as they're soft, durable and can be easily decked out for work or dressed down for the weekend.
Ladies shirts: why women's shirts button in the opposite side to a man's shirt Because it became normal for ladies to put on shirts in early last century, the buttons on women's shirts happen to be attached to the opposite side to people of a man's shirt. There are a few theories that may explain this. The first is that this made it easier for maids to decorate them, whereas men tended to dress themselves.
