Classics are always in fashion and are appropriate almost everywhere: at work and leisure, at school and social events. The most common men's outfit is a combination of a shirt and trousers. The overall perception of the image depends on how harmoniously they look together. Both the top and the bottom can be amazing in quality of fabric, color and cut, but they don’t fit each other at all. How to avoid this and choose the right combination?
Rules for combining men's trousers and shirts
Guided by simple principles, you can make your image truly stylish:
- Only a classic shirt with a stiff collar, tucked under the belt, is combined with classic trousers with arrows. For office work, the correct one would be soft, cotton, sometimes with a small admixture of synthetics, with a single pocket or without it at all. It should be long enough to be tucked in (below the hip line) and the edge of the sleeve cuff should touch the base of the thumb. Silk and linen materials are not acceptable in the office dress code.
- In combination with casual trousers, you can use almost any shirt: a wide variety of colors and textures are used, you can roll up the sleeves, unbutton the collar, etc.
- A slim slim shirt in combination with tight-fitting trousers is suitable only for athletically built men who are 100% confident in themselves.
- Pay attention to the conformity of materials: thick corduroy trousers cannot be combined with a thin cotton shirt, etc.
Combine colors and things
Consider your color type. Almost all shades from the brightest to light, pastel are suitable for brunettes and dark-skinned people. If a man is blond, light-skinned or gray-haired, he should avoid beige and milky colors.
Main principle: combine no more than three colors in the entire set of clothes, and also decide what you will focus on - on the top or bottom of the look.
Important! If you want to wear light-colored trousers, make sure that in tandem with a shirt the image does not turn into a huge light spot. The colors of the top and bottom must be different!
Those who are not confident in their ability to choose the right color combinations should use universal combinations:
- Cream, light gray and blue, white, beige and pale pink shirts go well with gray trousers.
- For blue - white and pastel, for the brave - yellow, checkered.
- To beige - black, brown, white, blue, light blue. Avoid colors that are too bright – otherwise the bottom will simply be “lost.” The shade of the trouser fabric should not match the skin tone.
- A plain contrasting top will go well with a white bottom: burgundy, green, brown, gray shades, as well as a small print.
- Black trousers with a snow-white shirt are an eternal classic for the office or a celebration. Any light shades are suitable for a daily trip to work, and if you want to stand out, feel free to buy a shirt in a rich, deep color or with a bright print.
- Brown bottoms are stylishly paired with milky, milky coffee shades, as well as yellow, orange and green for a vibrant everyday look.
- Blue trousers are combined with beige, white, soft pink and apricot flowers. For the brave and young, coral, yellow and checkered top options are suitable.
- A yellow bottom calls for a more subdued shirt: grey, blue, white or light blue.
Shoe selection
Let's focus on an important detail - shoes, because it can completely change the perception of the selected set:
- classic black, brown or wine-colored shoes will fit perfectly into a strict office style;
- for a casual urban look, light and comfortable moccasins of a wide variety of colors are suitable;
- universal shoes for a modern everyday outfit are black, gray, white or sneakers matched to match the shirt.
How can you wear a shirt with trousers?
To refuel or not – that is the question! Stylists unanimously agree that only shirts can be worn over trousers for graduation:
- short (length to the hip line);
- with a rounded bottom;
- with an informal soft collar with buttons.
Important! To prevent your shirt from sticking out of your trousers, choose more fitted models or pay attention to trousers with a silicone tape sewn into the waistband. You can easily sew it on yourself by purchasing a piece of the required length at a sewing store. A well-tightened belt that presses down the fabric on the waist will also help.
A neatly tucked-in shirt adorns a man’s figure, makes the image collected and representative, and does not allow others to see his bare back and underwear when bending over or sitting.
By the way! If you tuck your shirt into your trousers, be sure to wear a belt.
