Guide questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric, collar and fit questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Short answers to what people ask while choosing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Which fabric creases least?<\/summary>\n

Twill and pinpoint keep their shape best through a day; linen creases by nature (sample guidance).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Which collar for no tie?<\/summary>\n

Button-down, band or a semi-spread worn open. Cutaway collars look best with a tie.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

French cuff or button?<\/summary>\n

French cuffs need cufflinks and suit evenings; single-button cuffs are for every day. A convertible cuff does both.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Slim or tailored?<\/summary>\n

If you wear the shirt under a jacket most of the time, slim; if on its own, tailored is easier to move in.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
