The men's shirt is much more than a simple garment: it's a cornerstone of the male wardrobe, capable of defining a silhouette and adapting to a multitude of occasions. Yet, faced with the jungle of cuts, fabrics, and styles, making the right choice can quickly become a headache. Should you opt for a slim or straight cut? Which cotton should you choose to combine comfort and durability?
This guide is here to shed some light. We've broken down the essential criteria for a good shirt to bring you our advice and a selection of models that stand out for their quality and versatility.
Before diving into our selection, here are the key criteria to consider to find the perfect shirt for your body type and preferences.
The fabric is the starting point. It determines the comfort, drape, and longevity of your shirt. Cotton remains the undisputed benchmark. A quality cotton shirt is breathable, soft against the skin, and built to last. For more flexibility and optimal freedom of movement, some shirts incorporate a touch of elastane. This blend is particularly popular for slim-fit cuts, as it conforms to the body's shape without ever restricting movement.
The cut should not only flatter your body shape but also match the style you're aiming for. There are three main cuts:
The collar, cuffs, as well as the fabric and patterns, define a shirt's style. A long-sleeved shirt with a classic collar and buttoned cuffs is an indispensable basic, equally at home in smart-casual contexts as in more formal ones.
The men's overshirt, meanwhile, has established itself as the key piece for mid-season. Thicker than a classic shirt, it's worn like a light jacket and injects a dose of character into any outfit.
Here are three models that meet different needs and styles, all selected for the quality of their materials and their thoughtful design.

The most important thing: don't just rely on your usual size (S, M, L), as it often varies from one brand to another. Always consult the size guide on the product page. Take your measurements (chest circumference, waist circumference) with a tape measure and compare them to the manufacturer's specifications to make the right choice.
A casual shirt is recognisable by its softer fabric (flannel, chambray, oxford), its less rigid collar (e.g., a button-down collar), and its potential patterns. It's designed to be worn in a relaxed manner, including untucked. Conversely, a formal shirt is cut from cotton poplin or twill, with a stiff collar designed to accommodate a tie and single or French cuffs.
To preserve the quality of your cotton shirt, a machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle is recommended. Avoid bleach and the tumble dryer, which can shrink the cotton and damage the fibres. Opt for air-drying on a hanger to minimise creases and make ironing easier (with a medium-hot iron).
