Masculine distinction begins with the choice of shirt!

There is no man who does not have at least one shirt in his wardrobe, but few know the mystery of this clothing item, which, although it seems simple to wear, in depth has a multitude of lesser-known secrets. Here are some details that can make the distinction exist in the masculine.

Merer tradition says that the appearance of a man wearing a shirt, regardless of the time of day or occasion, must be impeccable. For this reason, attention to detail when choosing a shirt is essential, so beyond the print – plaid, stripes, other patterns or plain – the cut, seams, material, pockets or sleeve length are also important.

• Print and color. With a plain, classic shirt in sober colors you can never go wrong for business outfits, although the Merer collection offers you a wide range of youthful shades that are also suitable for any type of outfit. Shirts with prints, stripes and checks, often avoided due to the prejudice that they belong to the casual style, but matched properly, can be useful at the office. Worn with a slim-cut navy suit, either with a wool jacket, cotton trousers or even classic jeans, they give you a fresh air and can be ideal for an informal meeting or for "Casual Friday". A clear rule applies, however, every time - the smaller the print, the more formal the shirt.
• Pockets make the difference. A shirt can have one pocket, two or none, and its choice must also take into account this seemingly unimportant detail. Thus, for business attire, it is recommended to wear a shirt without pockets.
• The cut of the shirt can be fitted, straight or wide. The fitted one is more suitable for athletic builds, and the wide one for fuller ones. Don't overdo it, though! You don't have to look like a sack when you wear a shirt. Also, when choosing a fitted shirt you shouldn't feel constricted, so it shouldn't hold you back when you clasp your arms in front of your chest.
• For the business shirt, make sure the material is of good quality, so that it doesn't wrinkle after the first few hours of wearing it.
