Who said you can’t have fun with a shirt? Choose a playful print for that Sunday brunch or a dinner date.

SOLIDS

There are times when you mean business. Make a bold statement by using a solid colour shirt for that important occasion. Go monotone to take it a notch higher.

THE FORMALS

(Clockwise from top left: Arrow, Metro, Zodiac, Hush Puppies, Color Plus, Woodland)

A wardrobe staple, nothing spells elan like a classis formal shirt. Light colours work best with formal outfits. Team them up with a formal pair of brown shoes and you are all set.
