Striped shirt, an evergreen legend

The striped shirt is an evergreen symbol of elegance and style. It can be worn both in formal situations and informal situations, with or without jacket, both by men and women. Actually, its professional and social role did not start with the stripes but only later when this new pattern was accepted.

At the beginning, in fact, only the white shirt was associated to taste and purity: its whiteness, safe from stains and work dirtiness, was the symbol of the wealthy man. At the end of the twentieth century, above all during the economic boom, the striped shirt became a consumer product, perfect for formal events but also for less demanding situations.

If you want to know when to wear such a shirt, you should consider above all the size and the colour of the stripes. For example, a shirt can be considered classical when it has stripes in the same colour on a white background. Therefore, the matching will be with blue or charcoal suits. Anyway, you should not forget that the white shirt still wins the first place in elegance and sobriety even after many years. It is the most classic shirt among classic designs.
