THE INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE MEN'S SHIRT:

The passes:

The fabric, in a very important or even major place in a shirt, but it is the collar that gives all its character to the shirt.
It should be noted in passing that quality shirts are equipped with removable or integrated stays for a perfect hold of the collar.
Depending on certain collars, the tie knot will also be determined.
 
Classic collar
 
With 3 to 4 cm in height and points of 7 to 7.5 cm, the classic or so-called "city or French" collar is the traditional collar par excellence. Sober and elegant, it can be worn in all circumstances with or without a tie and is particularly suitable for round, wide faces and rather short necks.
 
Milanese Collar
 
It is almost as flared as the classic collar but its points are longer. It is very trendy and is mainly worn on fitted shirts.
 
Italian or flared collar
 
Attributed as its name does not indicate to the Duke of Windsor, it precisely allows large tie knots including the Windsor knot. It is of course more flared than the classic collar (the space between the points is important) and highlights tie knots.
 
English Collar
 
It brings a particular distinction to the costume dressed as a more casual outfit. it is a collar whose two points are connected by a tab at mid-height closed by a button. This tab makes the collar very narrow and allows you to highlight small tie knots.
 
Col Aldo or Napoleon
 
It is derived from the Italian collar, but it is a wide collar that covers the neck more, especially since the collar stand is very high. We will also netra the long points and the buttoning which can include one or two buttons.
 
Winged or ceremonial collar
 
it is the famous collar that is worn for special occasions. the tips are, as the name suggests, "broken". The shirt (white or ivory) is only worn with a bow tie (never a tie) and a black tuxedo.
 
Buttoned collar
 
Attributed to polo players, it is a collar with visible buttons at the tips. There are also models where the buttons are placed under the tips, which makes them invisible. It is rather worn without a tie and is more suitable for Oxford shirts.

The wrists :

single wrist
 
This is the most common cuff found on most ready-made shirts. It often has two horizontal buttons, allowing the tightness to be adjusted.
 
The right wrist
 
It is actually a slightly longer single cuff with two vertical buttons, and sometimes two more horizontal ones. in other words, it looks a bit like a straight double wrist. It is currently very trendy, especially with two-button collars, but pay attention to the length of the sleeves. The straight two-button cuffs are unforgiving with the sleeves that are too long.
 
The musketeer wrist
 
Here is the wrist that requires cufflinks. it is made up of a strip that is folded back on itself and secured with the cufflinks slipped into the buttonholes. you will make sure to match the cufflinks according to the color of the suit, the shirt and the tie.
 
The Neapolitan wrist
 
The Neapolitan cuff shirt is an excellent alternative to French cuffs. The sleeve is turned up revealing the reverse of the sleeve by a cutout and may be of a different fabric from the body of the shirt. This type of sleeve has a double buttoning.

SILK :

Fabric made from silk threads from the mulberry moth. Its essential characteristics are its softness to the touch, its suppleness, its luster, its comfort to wear. Uses: ties, scarves, blouses, shirts, dresses...

WILD SILK : _

Also called tussah. Fabric made from the silk thread produced by a variety of caterpillars living in the wild. Harder and thicker than silk. Used in the manufacture of shantung and other similar fabrics.

The Mulberry Bombyx is a domestic butterfly native to northern China, bred to produce silk. The silkworm is its caterpillar. The bombyx is unknown in the wild, it results from selection by breeding called sericulture.

It is at the caterpillar stage that the moth produces the precious fiber secreted into an abundant slime which, on hardening, is transformed into a single thread of raw silk with which the caterpillar makes a cocoon. This thread is between 800 and 1500 meters long .

THE TIE :
Collar and tie combinations:
For shirt and tie knots to enhance each other, it is better to think about the associations. We will reserve the big knots - Windsor type - for shirts with flared collar, in particular the Italian collar. Bow ties are reserved for broken collar shirts. as for the simple knot, it is in principle suitable for all collars, but it risks being a little thin for a flared collar. on the other hand, it will be perfect on a buttoned or classic collar.
For information: Who invented the tie?
American tailor Jesse Langsdorf in 1924.

The black tie
Sober and elegant, it is often worn over a white shirt and with a black suit. Currently, fashion also associates it with a black shirt, because tones on tones are very trendy. Watch out for shades of black though, the tie should be the same black as the shirt or jacket, as a third shade wouldn't be very happy.
 
the white tie
Reserved for special occasions, it is worn with a white shirt. Note that beige sometimes replaces white. We sometimes associate a slim white tie with a black shirt, but this arrangement is to be avoided.
 
The pink tie
It goes well with white shirts, sky blue and with a gray suit.
The club tie
Diagonal design of 2 or more colours, the club tie is always very classy for special occasions or ceremonies.
