What is a long-sleeved shirt for men?
A long-sleeved shirt for men is a classic shirt with a full button placket, a collar and long sleeves with cuffs. The sleeves can be rolled up in warmer weather, so the shirt works for both formal and casual occasions. Most long-sleeved shirts at Tom Tailor are made of cotton, sometimes with a share of linen or a little elastane for more freedom of movement.
What kinds of long-sleeved shirts for men are there?
Long-sleeved shirts come in different styles and fits:
- classic, rather elegant shirts in a business look, for example a white or blue shirt in a regular fit
- casual shirts with a check pattern, stripes, in linen or corduroy for a relaxed look
- sporty, slim styles in a slim or fitted cut that sit close to the body
- sturdier Oxford shirts as well as versions with a chest pocket or a stand-up collar
The colour range runs from timeless white, blue and black to green, brown and grey. Exactly which fit and material a model has is stated in each product description.
Which long-sleeved shirt is suitable for summer?
For warm days, light, breathable materials are ideal. A shirt made of linen or a linen-cotton blend lets plenty of air reach the skin and feels pleasantly light. A light cotton shirt in a pale colour works well too. If you like it especially loose, go for a model in a relaxed fit and roll up the sleeves.
How do I combine a men's long-sleeved shirt?
A long-sleeved shirt is versatile to combine. With chinos and clean shoes you get a smart look, while with jeans it feels more casual. For formal occasions you can wear a shirt under a blazer; in the colder season a jumper works well over the top, with the collar showing. A white shirt looks especially elegant, a checked or linen shirt more relaxed.
