Work Dress Shirts

In order to pick the right dress shirt for office wear, you should consider what others in the office are wearing. Supposing that your office culture is really laid back and others wear simple looking shirts, then you should get your own custom men’s dress shirts.

You may not want to stick out like a sore thumb wearing the latest style such as a striped, bright pink shirt with a little sheen to it though. While this might be a hot new trend in dress shirts, it may not fit in with the company’s dress culture.

Something else to consider when choosing a work dress shirt is the company’s general dress policy. Some offices allow only certain colors (boring, I know) and some policies aren’t very clear, so you should make some effort to mimic your co-worker’s attire, while maintaining your personal individuality and style.

Your job can also determine your choice of dress shirts. A lawyer for instance is expected to be serious as opposed to a graphic designer. As such, the lawyer may want to stick to simpler prints like pinstripes or just solid dress shirts. A graphic designer on the other hand, is expected to be creative which is reflected by his sense of style. He can therefore get away with windowpane dress shirts and other striped patterns. Also, if your job requires you to be aware of the latest trends such as a Designer’s Assistant, you will want to show your trendy side with the latest styles of dress shirts.
